Roosevelt With Fulton.

1t is an almost forgotten fact that
President Roosevelt's grandfather
was the first man to navigate a steam
boat on the Ohio and Mississippi riv-
ers. Capt, Roosevelt was a close per.
sonal friend of Robert Fulton, invent
or of the steam craft. Soon after Full.
tons successful voyage on the Hudson
the captain conceived the idea OF
launching such craft on what were
then Western waters. In the spring Of
1911 the vessel was launched at Pitts
burg and the presidents grandfather
began his voyage to the gulf. He en-.
tered the Mississippi during the times
of the earthquake which devastated so
much of southeastern Missouri, but
weathered the tumult successfully
and continued his trip to New Or
leans.

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because 1t
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in a4-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same. 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you 3
12-oz. package it is because he has
stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package In large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance Of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

But he's humorist. One day l asked
him jokingly why he did not get mar

riage is possible only under three con-
ditions.' Indeed, and what are they?
I asked. Well, my Wife he replied

NO FRIENDS IN POLITICS.
Mean Trick Frank Hatton Played on
CONGRESSMAN Cannon

Congressman Cannon was not al
ways so powerful in Washington as
he has been Of late years. Ho tells
with glee of a visit he once paid to
the postoffice department when blunt
Frank Hatton was postmaster general.
He took with him a constituent who
wanted to be postmaster of his village.
Cannon was bitterly opposed to him,
but did not want to turn him down
openly. When they reached the de.
partment Cannon left the would-be
postmaster outside the screen door
and went in to see Hatton. He told
Hatton he intended to bring the man
in and ask for the place for him, but
begged Hatton to refuse it. Where's
the man." asked Hatton. Gust out
side the door," Cannon replied. ON
that case" replied Hatton, raising his
voice so he could be heard a city
block, Il want you to know have
lying enough to do here without lying
for you. Bring him in" Cannon
brought him in and Hatton blandly
appointed him.

COST OF RURAL DELIVERY.
Millions Expended That People Shall
Have Proper Service.

GNPSilbSd SOP'S S'a''
Have Proper Service.
Postmaster General Wynne writes
in the Worlds Work: "In 1897, when
the rural service was started on pro-
baton, $4,000 was deemed sufficient
for its trial. During the fiscal year
that ended June &c. 1904, nearly $13,-
100000 was expended for rural free
delivery. For the fiscal year upon
which we have now entered $20,S16,-
600 has been appropriated for the con-
tinuance and extension of the rural
mail service. There were 24,566 rural
routes in existence at the end of the
fiscal year, June 80 last, 9,446 new
routes having been put into operation
during the fiscal year. Oct. l, 1904,
there were 27135 routes established,
and the service was being extended at
the rate of about 500 routes month.
Taking $50 people as the average
number served on each route Ca mod
crate estimate) the rural service in
operation Oct. 1, 1904, was bringing
the mails within easy reach of the
homes of 12,213,750 residents of rural
districts.

Newspaper Circulation.

A statistician has learned that the
annual aggregation of the circulation
OF the papers OF the world is estimated
to be 12.00e,000,0o0 copies. To grasp
the Idea Of this magnitude we may
state that 1t would cover no fewer
than 10,450 square miles of surface:
that 1t is printed on 7S1,250 tons OF
paper; and, further, that If the num-
Der Q2,000,0O0,Oo0) represented. in
stead OF copies, seconds, 4. would take
more than 1888 years for them to

Doubt McGreevy Having Cash.

ONEILL-When the papers reached
here containing a Phoenix dispatch
to the effect that President McGreevy
of the Elkhorn Valley bank had
turned over $4,000 to Police Officer
Mcdonald of Phoenix. Ariz,, the peo-
pie here instantly knew it was a pipe
dream. The total deposits are only
about $4,000 and of this only abouS
$4,000 Is due to individual deposltors
in this county. 1t now seems safe to
say that depositors will get more than
80 per cent, so that the loss to the
community is not so serious, although
few individuals will suffer.

Welcome to Chinese Students.

1t is for the advantage of this coun-
try that we should establish the Amer
lean point of view as widely as posi-
BILE throughout the Chinese empire,
The more this can be done the better
it will be for our commerce and the
industries upon which that commerce
depends. Leaving out all altruistic
consideration it is for our own unques'
tionable interest that we extend Amer
lean ideas and American influence in
the largest measure possible in that
land of almost limitless markets, and
to do this it would be to our great adj
vantage to encourage high-class Chi
nese students and high-class observ'
ers of our institutions.-Boston Tran

eral Barry retained no premiums while

never kept premiums on state war
rants, and If anyone OF his clerical

the matter.

cation that the matters referred to in

municate with the clerk. Ira ]. Ayres,

General Colby still owes the state
the premiums on state warrants re-
tanned by the state after the courts
nave passed on the action which the
attorney general probably will begin
IN the near future. The other account
charged against Colby by the examin-
er, the pay of the WILDER troops for
the encampment of 1901, will be in
vestigated by the military department

Judge Advocate Colonel Ehrhart to

Automatic Savings.

A new idea for encouraging thrift is
being developed in Italy. 1t is moth
ing more or less than an automatic
bank. In cast-iron pillar there are
hree Sits. In the top one the coin
IS inserted-a ten-centime piece. II
it is false it is promptly rejected, and
falls out of lower slit. If it be good
the receipt promptly drops from the
third opening at the bottom of the
box. SO soon as the depositor has
collected five or more of these re-
cepts he can exchange them for a
bank pass-book at the regular savings
bank, and on his savings he will be
paid by government interest at the
rate of per cent. BY means of this
excellent little invention the laborer is
able to place a fraction of his daily
wages at interest without the trouble
or time incident on making journey
to the nearest postoffice, great con-
venience, seeing that such banks are
open only at certain hours, and those
not suited to the man who works with
his hands.

JUDGMENT instead Of "Red Tape"

When a business organization be-
comes a body of thinking men and
women, instead of vast machine of
which each individual is but part,
it becomes possible to govern them
more by the spirit and less by the
letter of the rule, thus utilizing indi-
vidual judgment at those points where
a strict adherence to the rule is unde-
sirable, says Success. 1t becomes
possible to eliminate great deal of
detailed system or red tape" and to
substitute active judgment. This de-
velops individual capacity in the en-
ploye, while it greatly lessons operat'
ing expenses for the employer and en-
riches the business with more intelli
gent work.

Teaching Preventive Medicine.

1t is fact Of which the medical
profession is we'll aware that the bet
ter class of newspapers are the great
educators Of the common people, They
furnish them with their high school
and college courses and do more than
any other agency to form the opinions
of the great multitude. This being
the case, it behooves all reputable
physicians to join in an effort to give
the papers such medical reading mat
ter as will interest and instruct their
readers. In no other way could pre-
ventive medicine be taught so thor
oughly and successfully as through
the medium of newspaper publicity.
Unthinking people, and indeed many
of Independent mind, believe absolute.
ly everything they read in their paper.
Therefore preventive medicine could
easily be instilled into the minds Of
this body.-Medical Journal.

dog of Japan and China is an animal
closely allied to the true dogs, but
with marked superficial resemblance
to raccoon. If the New York speci-
