Must Stamp
All Letters.

The postmaster general has
just made a ruling of consider
able interest to all the patrons
of the rural delivery routes as
well as to the carriers.
A carrier found in a small box
on his route two letters that we're
intended for the owner of the box
and had been put there by some
one passing. The letters were
confscated and sent to the gov
ernment at Washington with a
request for ruling. The gov
ernment approved the action of
the carrier and said that all mail
found in any box without stamps
or the proper amount of money
for postage must be collected and
taken to the postoffice from
which the route is operated and
held for postage.
This ruling means that the
owner Of the mail box has ab-
solutely no control over it.
That the neighbor who drops a
note into his box is subject to
legal proceedings for infring-
ment of the postal regulations
and the note or unstamped letter
to seize.
Farmers often times, upon
their way to town, drop their
neighbors line by means of the
mail box, but under the new rul-
ings made by the department
such action in the future will be
tabooed. The fact that the boxes
are generally upon the main way
and easy of access without travel
ing from the main thoroughfare
has led to considerable commune
cation among farmers by means
! of rural route notes.

Partially in Bowlcgs

Are boWlegs conducive to in
consistency? If a man resem-
bles a pair of walking parenthes-
es is it reasonable to charge him
with following a course as crook
ed as his legs? Science says so
at least that portion of science
which has. given the subject at
tention-and follows up the bow
legged man with so many argu-
ments about his inconsistency
that he is already so bewildered
that he can't go straight if he
tries. Young women are advised
against marrying bowlegged men
by this same science and are
warned of all kinds of trouble if
they do. Better, they are told,
hitch to men so knock -kneed that
their legs resemble a sawbuck
when at the point of contact.
Science, as usual, is prejudic-
ed and partial. Man, as now
constituted, is an open book.
Whatever his binding, he is open
to inspection. Any one can see
his shape. His ragged coat may
cover a manly heart, but if he has
bowlegs he can't wear a shirt to
hide them without getting arrest
ed. Woman is a book, but not
open-no. Bound in silk or
calico, she conceals her def
ciencies as completely under one
as the other. The only way to
find out about her is to go abroad
on windy days, and then the good
Lord is likely to fill your eyes
with dust just at the favorable
moment.
