A Story in Rhyme.

Said the groceryman to the
butcherman. 1t is really a sin
that you buy your salt on the
wholesale plan and don't let me
handle the tin. Then hied him
back to the grocery store and
quickly an order sent, for a few
choice hams for the family use and
box of fish for Lent. Said the
clothing man to the hardware man,
You certainly don't do right,
when you order 4 suit from an
eastern house with my big stock
in sight. But the Clothier wanted
q new steel range and it came as
the neighbors know, III a box he
tried to hide III the barn, marked
Sears, Roebuck & Co The
business men then called a meeting
to see where the trouble lay, and
they all agreed twas the editor
man and not the devil to pay.
Why don't he roast the department
stores and peddling fakirs they
said. and stand by those who
patronize him and give him his
daily bread? So they drew up a
compact long and strong for the
editor to peruse, and waited Oh
him with aspect grim as he sol
emily dug for news; but the editor
laughed a big horse laugh, till the
gang all took to the woods, for
twas written on axlegrease letter
heads that came with bill OF
goods.-Exchange.

HousefIy a Menace to Health.

Now that the househy is max
ing his appearance, and IS likely
to remain some months, it becomes
our duty to observe some things
to his discredit He IS a dirty
beast and danger turks in him.
Once before we wrote of him, at
that time frivolously. But who
can deny that he sits upon q barrel
of swill until the fancy takes him
to try a sugar bowl or a baby 5
nose.
The germ theory sometimes
seems elaborate, III these days,
when some are found to phophesy
even against the toothbrush and
the postman's bag. Still, it re-
mains possible to become scientific
without going crazy. In attacking
the fly we are safely moderate. He
causes more diseases in week
than analine dyes in month. He
is more dangerous than formal
dehyde ina milk, The above are
medical opinions which we eagerly
accept.
Charity covers a multitude OF
sins. It does not cover flies. These
ranging and obscene animals should
die. The only difficulty lies in
killing them. Screens on kitchen
doors, and careful cooks, may do
more for health than medicine. =

A Tip TO Boys.

A Nebraska paper, evidently
edited by philosopher, gives to
the youth of the land this advice;
NV short whiskered friend,
listen: You are not the only cub
that has pitied his parents for their
ignorance and wonder why in the
thunder the Lord dropped such a
warm bunch of omniscience as
yourself into such cool family
atmosphere. Your are not the
only kid with swelled head and a
pinch of brain that feels it their
duty TO butt III the role OF every
dialogue that originated in his VI
cinitv to save his relatives and
friends from making fools or them
selves, but YOU are a public nul-
sance lust the same. and if some
one that has pity on your condl-
ton does not take charge OF you
soon there will be a bill passed by
the legislature setting a bounty on
your scalp. Be warned in time.

A sorry man is one who cares
nothing about what is going on III
his community. A poor man is
one who cannot raise a dollar to
pay for his home paper. A mean
man is one who won't take the
paper for his family. A
bad man is one who takes the home
paper but won't pay for it. A
good man is one who cares for his
neighbors, who loves his family,
who subscribes for the paper and
who pays the printer. Elk.

THREE FRAUD ORDERS.
Schemes Debarred From the Use Of
the Mails

The fraud order branch of the Post Office
Department got busy today and truned out
three orders forbidding the use Of the mails
to as many concerns. The first was directed
against the Department of United School
Census, Pacific Coast Division United
States Census" at San Francisco. 1t is
charged that one r. S. Boedefeld, manipu-
lator of the scheme, had written to various
county school commissioners. throughout
the coast states, asking for the names of
school teachers. Then he would write to

STEAMER SIBERIA.
To Be Fined for Mail Left Behind at
Frisco

No report has been received at the Post
once Department relative to the action of
the Pacific mail steamer Siberia which left
San francisco on August l6 for the orient
leaving behind so packages of mail. Ac-
cepting the press dispatches as a basis for
action. however. the department has issued
a statement that the steamship company
be fined under section 1910 of the Revised
Statutes for improper discharge of its con-
tract to carry the mails
There exists no contract between tho
steamship company and the Post Office De-
partment in this case, but this fact ii is
said, does not relieve the steamship COM
pany of liability under the statute men
toned. The company receives what is
known as sea postage for transporting mail
between San Francisco and foreign ports
which is the form of remuneration given to
all Pacific lines carrying United States mail
No steamship can be compelled to carry
the mails but, it is said at the DEPARTMENT
the fact that it has in the past undertaken
to do so and has not filed notice of Its
desire to discontinue the performance Of
this service brings it within the statute
the same as If a written contract had been
executed. The courts have passed upon
this question in the case of railroads carry
ing mails under similar arrangements with
the department which have been fined for
failure to transport the mails promptly and
properly. The penalty In such cases shall
not exceed one-half the contract price for
carrying the mails. In case no specific con-
tract exists. the courts have held that the
penalty shall be one-half the sea postage
colIectible for the amount of mail carried
or offered.
