MADE HER HUSBAND GREAT
Mrs. John A. Logan Has Public and
Private Record of Which She
May Be Proud.

Mrs. John A. Logan knows person
ally every national character of impor-
lance from President Roosevelt to the
smallest grand army post commander.
Mary Simmerson Cunningham was
only IL years old when, in 1856, she
became the bride of John A. Logan,
then prosecuting attorney of Gallatin
county, Illinois, and a hero Of the
Mexican war while yet in his teens.
Her father, by appointment of Presi-
dent Pierce, was registrar of the land
office of that county, and she had left
her studies at st. Vincent's convent,
Kentucky, to become her fathers
assistant, and there it was that the
black eagle of Illinois met and wooed
her.
While it has never been argued that
Gen. Logan was anything but brave
man, yet not many persons know that
his wife deserves the greatest of credit
for the record made by him.
Few women in this country dis
played greater personal bravery dur
ing the civil war than she did, for it
was her ambition that her handsome
husband should become famous. She
set the example at her own home by
her courageous deeds, of which she
would write the general, with the re-
suit that he would go into the next

SOME FACTS ABOUT BIRDS
Auks and Penguins Cannot Fly, So
They Live on the Coast and
Build Nests in Caves.

OF all the odd birds that you see
when you spend month in the mid
die of the summer at the sea shore,
no! one is SO peculiar as those that
live on the islands far out at sea-
At the shore you will see birds tina;
can dive and swim like fishes, but can
not walk on land, though the fly very
we'll through the air-these are divers,
looms and grebes, says the Los Angeles
Times. You will see birds that run well
on land, fly through the air easily, but
cannot swim-they are the shore birds,
curlew, snipe and plover; you will see
birds that can do all these things but
prefer to remain out on the outlet water
just beyond the surf, all day-these are
the ducks and strange sea ducks called
"mergansers; and around the wharves
you will see dignified birds that do all
OF these things with ease and that are

SURE CURE FOR THE BLUES
Best Remedy Against Them Said to
Be the Wearing of the Best
Things You Have.

If you want to know the best rene
ty for the blues" said thoughtful
girl to a companion, "I'u tell you. 1t
isn't to take walk, nor to read aloud
to an invalid, nor to take course of
Mark Twain, nor to buy pound of
chocolates and eat them all yourself
it is something even simpler than these
remedies. l learned about it from a
person who said that while she had
often been threatened with the blues
she had really never had an attack of
them because she always used the cure
before melancholy had got hold on
her.
well, not to keep you in suspense
any longer, the way to cure the blues
if you have them or to stave them off
if you feel them coming on is to put on
all your best clothes and wear them
until the spasm passes of. The girl
who told me about this said that no
sooner did she perceive that she was
beginning to think what an unsatis-
factory world this was and no sooner
did she feel that all was vanity than
up to her room she rushed in hurry.
"Once there she would arrange her
on her best petticoats--if silk, so much
the better-the best gown, collar, hat
and veil that she possessed. A pair of
fresh white gloves she said, she found
a great efficacy in raising the spirits
Then she would go out to walk and as
she walked the benefcent effect of her
good clothes would make itself felt
and though she was in the depths when
she started by the time she turned
back she was feeling that all was not
as black as it was painted, and when
she arrived at her own door she was
confident that Gods in His Heaven,
all's right with the world as she could
be.
Il have known new gown to make
the most disconsolate Mrs. Gummidge
cheer up and take an interest in life;
have known new hat to get an al
most hopeless invalid out of bed and on
her feet when her family had long
since given up all hope of her recovery.
The effect of good clothes on self-re-
spect cannot be overestimated. Neither
can it on the spirits
Perhaps some psychologist will
arise some day to tell US why these
things are true. l can't explain them,
SUIT true they are for sure, and any
woman can bear testimony to the effect
of good clothes is more than an out
ward and visible one-it is far more,
it is an inward spiritually bolstering
up one. Chicago Chronicle

not in the least afraid of you and your
camera-and you know that they are
gulls.
But among all the many you will not
see one that cannot fly and by that you
may know that they are all a long way
from their real homes, where they lay
their eggs and hatch their young
Some time in the early summer, for most
sea irds nest later than the land birds,
they will take wing and sail away to
their island homes, not to return until
they can bring with them family of
young birds. Some of the birds will be
left behind; they are the young ones of
last year, not yet old enough to make
homes of their own. For this reason
they are always few birds around the
piers of every beach town during the
summer months. They gather up the
scraps and refuse at a time when all the
rest of the scavengers are gone, and so
perform as real a service as if they re-
manned on the mainland shore for that
very reason.
Since they can neither fly nor walk
with any degree of comfort, the auks
and penguins must have their nests
near to the waters edge. For the
most part they nest in holes in the
shelving shores of the islands, or in
natural caves among the rocks just
above high-water mark. From these
nests they can slip, if danger comes,
into the friendly ocean without any
trouble though for the most part they
are quite willing to stay and face what
ever turns up.
Year after year they nest in these
same localities, and the young birds
grow up to find nesting places as
near the parent birds as possible, so
that the result is that there are thou
sands of birds breeding on one small
corner of an island where, in other parts,
there is room for twice as many, yet
they will not forsake the old places IN
til overcrowding actually compels them
to. In their nests they lay, usually one
egg, though often two or more females
quarrel over the same nest hole, and
then there is as likely to be three or
four eggs as one in the nest Some
times, when quarreling, two birds will
get their beaks interocked and both
will fall into the sea, there to drown.

The substations.

Continuing, this same interesting re-
port says of another phase of the Chi
cago post office:
THE ordinary observer has no ade-
quate conception of the size of the Chi
cago post Office. 1t is not generally
known that there are AZ branch sta
tons in the different parts of the city,
all under the jurisdiction of the post
master. Many of these branch stations
compare in volume of business trans
actions with some of che chief cities
of the United States; for example, the
board of trade station, employing IA
clerks and 26 carriers, did business
last year Of $935,277, putting it in the
same class with the city of Buffalo.
The Monadnock station, with seven
clerks and four carriers, did business of
SS26,7O3, placing it in the list of post
Offices of the country with Kansas City.
"The Stock Exchange station ranks
with New Orleans and Denver.
THE station at Cottage Grove avenue
and Fortieth street, employing IA clerks
and SIS carriers, does the same business
as Erie, Pa, and the Twenty-second
street station, with - clerks and SO
carriers, is the same size as Springfield,
ILL.,, and Elmyra, N. Y.
"In addition to these stations, there
are 203 substations, or, as now desig-
mated, numbered stations, located prin-
cipally in drug stores, each under the
supervision of clerk in charge, all I'M
der the jurisdiction and direct control
of the postmaster. Some of these do
business that compares favorably with
large cities, notably No. 1876, located
in the store of Marshall Field & Co.
This station was established on January
1, 1903, and ranks with cities of the
class of Bloomington, Joliet and Dan
vile, ILL.,, East Orange, N. j., and Au-
burn, N. Y. During the year there
were issued from this station 7,O12
domestic and 1874 international money
orders, amounting to SIS, 1926;
stamps sold to the amount of $67,-
561.10; and 1925 pieces of registered
matter handled.

with some of the larger cities of our

ton of the government postal depart
ment; more than 100000 people receive
ing or sending money Small wonder
that there is cry for increased office
help. The wonder is that the help pro-
vided is able in any way to care for so
great a business.
For people who like to speculate on
the meaning of figures there are few
more interesting documents than the
annual report of Postmaster Coyne. He
deals in figures of monumental kind.
In his last report to the department at
Washington he says:
The Chicago pust office sells on an
average of about SIS 900 worth of stamps,
about $4,000 worth of envelopes, and re-
ceives about $4,000 daily from second
class matter, making a total of receipts
of $4,000 per day. Of this sum about
$500 are for precanceled stamps; that
is, stamps that are Cancelled in advance
of being placed upon mail matter, saw
ing delay in dispatch of mail and in
convenience in handling after ready for
dispatch. Of this latter sum, one firm
alone buys nearly $4,000 worth each DAY.
Another firm placed an order with us

celed one-cent stamps. The largest check
ever received by the Chicago post uffice

battle with renewed spirit and dar-
ing.
The first money Gen. Logan sent
home out of his pay his wife spent
toward the purchase of home, and
when he returned from the war she
handed him the deed for house and
ten acres of land, bought from the saw
ings of the remittances which he had
made.
The famous saying, during and after
the war: Here's your mules" was
original with Mrs. Logan. Her broth
er-in-law had fine pair of mules, and
one day he went to Mrs. Logan and
said he would bet them against $500
that her husband would come over to
the democratic side. Mrs. Logan took
the bet without her husbands knowl-
edge and won, and with the general
drove all over Illinois, stumping the
state. Everywhere they were greet
ed with the cry: Here's your mules"
the disgusted expression of the loser
when he paid the bet.
The Boston Globe says that Mrs.
Logan is charming woman to meet.
Added to the cultivation of life spent
among famous people is the talent of
native genius, and the two have so
blended that she ranks easily among
the foremost of her sex in the nation.
The deep love she evinced for her hus-
band is manifest in every tone and
look whenever his name is mentioned.
She is Methodist and a devout
worshiper, but in her religious SYM
pathies she is most broad-minded, and
under her presidency the Garfield hos
pital grew from the most minute Of
beginnings to a field of the most wide
and useful beneficence
With her patrician face and snow
white hair, Mrs. Logan is probably the
most picturesque of the military wild
ows.

SOME QUEER FRIENDSHIPS.
California Gives Instances Where
Deer and Dogs Have Played

about the main. street; dogs that were
in nowise accustomed to it went up,
smelled it. as is their canine custom,
and passed on. The fawn was perfectly
unconcerned.
Two years ago there was another deer,
over half grown, in the same town,
which had as its companion and safe
guard large Newfoundland dog. These
animals We're often seen playing to-
gether, and went downtown together at
their own desire. On these trips the
Newfoundland seemed, by instinct, to
know that the deer was at the mercy
OF other dogs, and saw to it that no
dog molested the deer. The family
owning these two attractive animals
has moved from Oroville, taking its in

FLOWER HOLDERS OF LEAD.

flower holders comprise four leaden de-
vices which may be used separately or in
combination. They bend easily, and are
adaptable to vases of any shape. An
other arrangement is to have a solid
block of lead, about two inches high,
bored with holes of different diameters.
A few stalks, thus firmly held in place,
will act as a support to many others.
The only disadvantages of these leaden
devices is that they are not beautiful

When Business Is Brisk.

The letter carrier quickens his steps
with the coming of the fall breezes in
September, and he also increases the
load he must carry about with him from
door to door. Playtime is over then.
The business houses begin their fall cam
palgn for orders, and they go after them
through the mails.
Before Thanksgiving day has come
and gone Chicago will be sending out not
10O,O0O letters each day, but more than
l.O00.OO0; the 70 tons of second-class
matter will have increased to 80 tons,
and the 30 tons of merchandise will have
doubled or better. Then it is that the
postal clerk feels Uncle Sans business
rs brisk enough to demand at least fair
I share of his attention.
and this, remember, is only the out
going mail There is no record kept of
the incoming letters, but it is safe to
n say that there is an answer for each of
the letters going out. Christmas orders
begin coming in early in the fall, and
sby Thanksgiving time business as it is
sdone through the post Office is at the
top notch, though the letter carriers
TROUBLES have scarcely begun. His hours
OF overwork come about Christmas,
when everybody wants to send every

neither saves his legs nor his feelings in
making the attempt.

doing business is the increase in the
business of the money-order department

EFFECTS OF EVIL TEMPER.
The Man or Woman Who Is swayed
by Passion Is Bound to Be
Loser Always.

One of the most desirable things in
life is for every person to learn to
control his temper. There is seldom
anything to gain, but rather everything
to lose, when one permits himself to
be swayed by passion under any cir
cumstance. 1t is thus that friends are
lost, enemies made, bad situations ag-
gravated, endless misery created and.
occasionally, the direct tragedies en-
acted. OF course there are times when
one may derive for the moment GER
tain enjoyment in license of expressing
exactly what he feels, but most surely
must il be followed by reaction of
regret Indeed, if serious person, the
probability is that on becoming calm
again, after the fit has passed away,
he will be ashamed of his foolish con-
duct and the disgraceful exhibition he
made of himself; he will realize, down
in his heart, that not right away if
ever again, can he occupy as strong
position, socially, rs before the out
burst. In truth, having behaved like
frettul, peevish child, he has to GER
tain extent forfeited his title to man
hood and the place of man. More
lamentable still, fiery tempered wom-
an who makes herself disgusting and
hated in neighborhood, in society or
in public, is terror to her family
There are few things sadder to con-
template than the skeletons hidden in
the household closet. To live thus from
day to day is like having the finest gar
dens and vineyards located on the slope
of volcano, and never know when the
burning lava may pour through them

SOME REMARKABLE FIGURES
One Million Letters a Day in the Out
going Mail-Heavy Business Done
at Branch Stations-Money-
Order Statistics.

Chicago.-August is play time at the
Chicago post office. 1t is then or never
for vacations for the postal clerks. the
letter carriers, the wagon drivers, and
all the other various employees that
go to make that complex machine-a
big city post Office.
Not that there are no letters, no pa
;pers, no merchandise, no money orders
and registered packages passing through
Chicago at that time, for there are, but
comparatively speaking there are but
few OF them. In August the number
of letters mailed in Chicago each day
will drop down to around 100000; there
will not be over 70 tons of newspapers
and magazines, and not over 80 tons
OF merchandise passing through the Of
flee every "a hours. These figures mean
but mere pittance in the way of
work.
Postmaster Coyne says the post Of
flee is like calendar Even the hot
days are not so sure criterion of the
season as is this mere pittance of mail
that comes in when the business man
is casting the fly in the Canadian lakes,
swinging the golf clubs on the links, or
doing the two-step at Newport. 1t is
certain evidence that the typewriter
girl is taking her month away from
town; that the Office clerks are playing
havoc with maidenly hearts at the sum-
mer resorts; that all Chicago has gone
a holiday making, and left virtually
nothing for the postal man to do, and
why should not he, too, have holiday ?
August is not a business month in
any line. More and more is It being
given over to pleasure, and in no way
is this shown SO quickly as in the mail
receipts at the Chicago post office. The
wholesale and mail-order houses prac-
fically quit looking for business at that
time and settle down to enjoy the pleas
ures of the season without thinking of
troublesome business cares, and their
languor gives the post Office rest.
