AGAINST FREAK NEWSPAPER.
Significance of Recent Decision Of
Postoffice Department.

From the Toledo Blade.
In their struggle for business some
newspapers have found it necessary to
bolster up Indifferent publications by the
addition of calendars, sheet music, pat
terms, blocks of postal cards, cut-out ami
NAL pictures, animal masks, cut-out dolls,
soldiers and naval vessels. circulars, hand
bills, and cardboard spectacles. The pur-
pose is to make the customer believe he
is getting a bargain, and this forced cir
culation, which is not won on the merit
of the paper itself, is offered as proof to
the advertiser of actual worth. 1t Is de-
ception to both the reader and advertiser,
and has been made all the easier OF ac-
complishment because the publisher has
been permitted to circulate his cheap John
assortment through the mails at second
class rates.
The Postoffice Department, casting
about to decrease its enormous expendi-
lures, has discovered that these news
paper owners have been imposing upon 1t
and has issued notice that the practice
must cease. The point is made that this
matter is purely extraneous and cannot
come within the provision of the law OF
1879 which permitted the mailing of news
paper supplements at the second-class
rate of a cent per pound. 1t Is estimated
that this action will work a material re-
duction in the amount of mail handled,
and will, to that extent, relieve the pres
ent congestion.
1t should also have the effect to increase
the standard of the newspapers that have
engaged in the business. The publishers
will be forced to furnish a higher quality
of news in order that their publications
may compare with those newspapers
which have been hewing strictly to legit-
innate lines

DONATIONS TO HOSPITAL.

As previously announced the Protestant
churches in the city, according to their
usual custom, will give all contributions
made at the morning services to the Hill
man hospital fund
In this way hundreds of people will be
able to assist the hospital. and the in
terest in the charity work done by the
hospital will become more generally
known and appreciated. The hospital
during the year just closed from April,
1904, to April, 1906, the hospital has re-
ceived 279 ward patients, for which only
81 a day was charged. There have been
26i patients which We're entirely charity,
not a cent being received In addition
to this. the hospital employs district
nurse who in the three months she has
been on her duties has administered to 155
patients among the poorest classes.
In order to meet all the urgent demands,
the fund for the hospital must be con-
stantly strengthened, and the ministers
of the city and their respective churches
generously give one day annually to the
hospital.

An article in the Literary Digest on the
national note in recent American poetry
is of much interest to the many friends
and admirers of Mary Mcneil Fenollosa,
the brilliant Alabama writer, who is
prominently mentioned among a group
of American poets ranking with Richard
Honey, Louise Imogen Bliss Carmen and
others equally as well known.
Mrs. Fenollosa, who is again residing
In her old home in Mobile, is one of the
most interesting women in the south
Literary critics, those who are looking
for a new note in American literature,
have discovered in Mrs. Fenollosa strik-

THE WALDENSIANS.
Queer People Found in Mountains of
North Carolina.

Stella Reid in the Pilgrim for April.
Stepping off the luxurious limited ex-
press at one of the small flag stations in
the picturesque mountain region of west
ern North Carolina, one might easily i'm
agine himself in Italy; for coming across
the field is a veritable model of Millets
Cleaners with sickle in hand and fancy
kerchief knotted over her head, and the
soft accents of the lads gathered at the
station are distinctly foreign. A little,
dark man with very bright eyes comes
across the platform to pick up the mail
pouch, and, doffing his hat, in most mu-
steal patois gives one to understand the
store is farther on" AS the afternoon is
waning, one suppresses the impulse to
chat with the postmaster, and, mindful
of the necessity to secure pictures while
the sun shines. starts across the field to
secure a genuine Millet effect. My lady
of the sickle, however, with true feminine
perversity, refuses to be taken until she
can put on her Sunday garb, and turns
a broad back to the camera as she strides
toward home. But what picture she is!
Soft, black wavy hair over an oval face
whose chief charm is the matchless brown
eyes that like a startled fawn's haunt
one. A short-skirted dress reveals the
heavy (men's) shoes as well as the mus
cular strength of her fgurs and the gaily
colored handkerchief, the bundle of herbs
in one arm, and sickle in the hand make
body desperate for just one SNAP"
We follow in her wake toward the store,
hoping to find some pretty Italian wares,
but alasl Contact with the practical
Americans has made such an impress on
these happy-hearted children of sunny
Italy that only the most prosaic merchan-
disc is kept. The keeper of the store,
however, can talk a little more English
than the postmaster. and tells us we may
see the church, though the pastor is not
at home. The lady offers to go for the
keys to the church, and during her alb
sence we chat with the storekeeper. and
learn something about this interesting
community.
Since the thirteenth century, there has
