"Wllen you asked me for Il dime this

that come to the farmers children
from their city cousins. The rural
mail carrier often brings them too.
He comes to be II very popular charac-
ter in n way and another around

his daily rounds with eager expecta-
ton and inspect his well filled and
often overloaded vehicle with i'll con-
cealed curiosity.
Both ut Christmas time and at other
seasons the rural mail carrier has come
to be the bearer Of Il great many small
packages besides the letters and newS-
papers which are ordinarily supposed
to form the bulk Of his burden. To
afford greater accommodation to the

mendcd to congress that a rate Of 3

The postmaster general says:
with the establishment of rural
mail delivery and the increasing eX-
tension of rural telephone service by
private interests there has grown up Il
demand by the patrons of the rural
service for the delivery of small pack
ages Of merchandise, such as food
stuffs, tobacco. dry goods. drugs, ETC..
on an order to the local merchant by
postal card. telephone or otherwise,
The value of these packages of mer-
chandise is usually small. and the
present rate Of postage Of Il cent per
ounce is practically prohibitive. The
patron or merchant cannot afford to
pay 1G cents for the delivery of a
pound of coffee or tobacco. or similar
article, but If a special rate were es-
tablished on such matter from the dis
tributing office for delivery to any
patron on the rural routes from thot
office it would be a great convenience
to the patrons and become a source of
revenue to the department."

1896. He served out his sentence Of
Ave years and shortly after his release
was again arrested on charges like
those made before and was again con-
victed. but afterward it was discovered
that both his convictions were founded
on mistaken identity, and he was
granted IL free pardon" Beck was
punished for crimes committed by
William Thomas. alias John Smith. A
year after his first conviction and SEN
tcnce a man giving the name of John
Smith was arrested on the charge Of
defrauding women and confessed that
he had been convicted IN 1877 n the
same charge. 1t then developed that
when Beck was convicted in 1896 the
police asserted that he was the Smith
| who was convicted in 1877. 1t tran
spires that when Beck was tried in
1904 the British home office and the
! prison authorities knew he was not the
Smith who was convicted in 1877, vet
the police made this contention. and on
the strength of it he was convicted.
The British press and public backed
up Bcck's demand for an inquiry into
his case. and the committee appointed
by the home secretary for this purpose
finds that the judge before whom he
was tried in 1896 was chiefly to blame
III that lie excluded all evidence favor
able to the accused and refused to
state a ease for Il higher court. Beck
has rejected an offer Of $4,000 from
the British government on the ground
that it is insufficient compensation for
his wrongful punishment.
