VIII Flrht Rnral peIlrsrr,

A concerted movement against the
continuance of the rural mail delivery
system in its present character has
been started by organizations OF bust
ness men and merchants all over the
country, says Fourth Estate. The men
in these organizations will protest to
Congress against the extension Of the
present system and will advocate its
curtailment along sweeping lines.
1t is understood that the system has
never been pronouncedly popular with
business men and opposition against il
has become more pronounced than ever
recently on account of the exposure of
some of the uses to which 1t has been
put, and especially since the pubIica-
ton Of Postmaster General Wynne's
estimate Of the cost Of the extensions
authorized by Congress for the coming
year.
The class of business men who are
supposed to be the most directly hurt
by the rural free delivery system are
the country merchants. Through the
operation Of the system they are said
to be more than ever exposed to the
competition Of the mail order houses,
and they declare that in many sections
the farmers have Stopped coising to
town to buy since the establishment
of the free delivery routes This, Of
course, reacts on the jobbers and
wholesalers in the large cities, and the
result is that the trade Of both city
and country has suffered severely.
Mr. Wynne's estimates show that in
order to carry out the plans authorized
by Congress there will be needed an
additional appropriation Of more than
$6,00O,OOO for the extension Of the
rural free delivery system alone. This

about SIT 100000, which It is estimat-
ed, is a cost Of about S2.25 head for
the beneficlaries of the system.
These beneficiaries, however, pay
only % cents a head Of the cost, which
leave a tax Of 50 for each one to be
paid by the general business commun-
'fts-

Away out west. on a ranch in Texas,
farmer was very much annoyed BY
chicken hawks stealing his poultry,
He was obliged to keep loaded shot
gun near the hennery, ready to use at a
moments notice.
Like all children. his little daughter
Jenny would often steal away to the
poultry yard TO feed the chickens,
chase the roosters, the geese and the
turkey gobblers.
One morning. while her mamma was
busy in the kitchen, Jenny was told 10
play mother to her little baby sister
and watch her carefully Taking her
into the garden, she showed her all the
pretty flowers, then how TO make mud
pies.
Soon the baby grew restless, tired Of
making mud pies, and hearing the
roosters growing she began calling.
~Chickey. Chickey, Chickey" .lenny.
thinking it woul be great fun for the
baby as well as for herself TO see tile
hens, carried her TO the poultry yard.
Putting the baby down OH the ground
near some bags OF wheat. she ran of
to the pump to mix some corn meal for
the baby chicks.
All Of a sudden she heard loud
Tapping of wings in the air Looking
around for the noise, she was surprised
to see a zig chicken hawk lowering
over the babys head
Before she could reach her sisters
side, he had lifted her from the ground
with his powerful claws, and was try
ing to fly away with the crying. strug-
Cling child.
Though terribly frightened. Jenny
had the presence of mind to scream for
her father. who was working in a field
nearby. 1t took him bur a minute 10
get his gun and take sure aim. for
well he knew his childs life depended
upon it, The baby was very heavy.
she screamed and struggled. 50 that the
chicken hawk could neither fly fast nor
high. The father aimed well, for he
shot the birds head on
Instantly he released his hold on the
poor. scared baby. She fell TO the
ground, crying bitterly Jenny helped
her father pick her up Fortunately.
she was only a little scratched and
bruised.
The father, cart gn.j IFS baby on one
arm and the dead chicken hawk In the
other, hastened to the cottage.
He met his wife on the porch Jenny
had run ahead and told her mother the
thrilling story. With big tears stream
ing down her cheeks, she begged for
giyeness for having taken her sister
10 the poultry yard.
The large chicken hawk was sent
to taxIdermist to be stuffed, and in
its stomach was found Jenny's little
gold ring. 1t had slipped from her
finger some months before while mix
ing cornmeal for the little chicks, and
this greedy chicken hawk had swaI-
lowed it down with the cornmeal be

Tie words were pronounced which
made Ellen Mrs. Somebody odd Ralph
neither knew nor cared what her new
name might be as long as she was
well out Of the way OF his son.
As the little company were about
being led to the dInlng-rOom 10 partake
OF the wedding dinner. Ralph stepped
up 10 the groom and said. as politely
az bis rising cholor would let him:
You will oblige me. sir. and bestow
a tri1e more respect on your bride and
the company present, if you remove
your hat
Certainly. sir. What a forgettul
fellow I am. and what a boor they
must all think me-" returned the new
made husband. in a tone which startled
Ralph strangely.
In a trice the great. unsightly hat
was on, and the beard which had CON-
pletely concealed the lower part Of the
quandom sailors face was gone. and
Ralph De Isle looked into the pro-
vokingIy calm face Of his son. Before
the old man. in his amazement and
chagrin, could utter a word. Herbert
had taken him by the arm and drawn
him aside.
''Now, father" said he, with comical
gravity. don't say word that viii

new capacity as my wife. You know

besides you know that riches should
never be weighed against the heart
and its affections
Ralph de Lisle came near choking at
first with rage and disappointment, and
we are very sure that the quantity Of
good things provided for the wedding
feast was not much diminished or their
quality appreciated by the gloomy-vis-
aged ''head of the house." but he fol-
owed his sons advice and said nothing,
and soon learned to listen TO his wife's
oft-repeated rehearsal of the old adage,
what can't be cured must be en-
dured,' with something like acqules-
cence in the DEGREES of Hymen.
In a short time he became more than
reconciled to his sons choice, and when
he heard Of the marriage Of Isabel Den
yer he went so far as to say that he
actually felt sorry for her husband as
Isabel was such a Tartar. and in no
way comparable to Ellen, his sons
wife.-New York Weekly.
