or inability to do her work. misses a year. the delay may be blessing in disguise. It need not be an irretriev- able loss. One thing you and. I should guard against is caring too much about what people say. A hurt to vanity wounds like the thrust of knife. We are often so mortified because our as we imagine with others who have done better than we, that we cease our endeavors or let ourselves be side- tracked entirely too long.
 Occasionally 1t becomes necessary wholly to change the plans for ones life. A girl may be compelled by loss of health or financial trouble in the family to do something quite different from that which she had anticipated. If this is duty. be brave and accept 1t without making fuss and complain ing.
 This is such bright and cheery world in which we live, and there are so many reasons for being happy, that 1t Is a positive sin for anybody ever to be blue. When girl lets herself drift into a habit of se1f-pfty she becomes morbid and miserable. makes herself wretched and perhaps loses the power of controlling her nerves. She wants to scream. wish you and could un- derstand as we ought that. however we may feel inside, we never have right to show our friends anything ex- cept brightness and sympathy.
 To let ourselves huddle up in fearful heaps. ito be damp. moist and unpleas- ant. and have mysteries over anything whatever, Is absurd and shameful.- Tne worst failure anyone can havesis fall ure to, rule ones own spirit and be- havior.
 In the Life of Burne-Jones. book that Is full of glorious courage, there are continual proofs of the great art ist's heroism. When you see his lovely pictures l want you to remember that the loveliest thing about him was his refusal ever to be discouraged. He made his friends stronger by his habit of constant cheerfulness. We ought to make stepping stones of our failures It we happen not to succeed today. lei us start right over and succeed tomor- row.

Council Clerk Monaghan and City Au-

Council Clerk Monaghan ana city Au- ditor's Clerk Cornell.
 But, look here, you Democrats" warned Postles. If you try and skull doodeIin tricks on me I'll go back to my Republican friends, and I'll have Cornell and Monaghan fired bodily"
 The rage of the Republicans is un- canny to witness. All their caucus nominees were ,ingloriously beaten and their fury is rebounding from Postles to Gas" Addicks. whose follower the negro is apparently putting farther away than ever the chances of John Edward for the seat in the United States Senate he so long has coveted.
 Joke to New Boss.
 The anger of the Republicans only causes the new council boss to roar with laughter. He doesn't care what the councilmen do.
 T got the whip" he says, chuckling. Those Republicans and Democrats will never work together. I'm the boss of all those white men"
 The particularly repugnant thing to the Republicans is the giving of the treasurer's clerkship to Postles's son. In this they declare they will defeat him, and a subscription has been start ed to hire a white man to do the work of the on1ce. keeping young Posties out. though he must get the salary, $400. White sohooltoachers are up in arms and threaten not to accept their checks if they are made out by young Postles.

He is practically the first American to make forestry a profession. His sal- ary is $3.500 Is not much of an object to him, and doubtless he would be just as enthusiastic If the government did not pay him anything. He has thrown himself heart and soul into the work. giving to 1t aii his time and strength, and working much harder and many hours longer than the ordinary gov ernment clerk who Is solely dependent upon the government for his support.

his four to eight-hour trip with a
wagon altogether empty. The evil of
the situation lies in the fact that pub
lie servants at Washington deny to
the rural public reasonable use of
the public vehicle that passes their
doors.
The American public is very much
in the condition of a farmer to whom
his employe denies the use of his own
horse and wagon. Think of your en-
ploye informing you that not only
should you not ride in your own
wagon. you should not transport any
thing in 1t except a few letters, maga-
zines. newspapers, books and four
pound parcels of merchandise! And
yet this is just what the servents of
the American people-United States
senators and epresentatives-are do
ing today.
Their restriction OF the rural post
wagon service deprives the people of
its reasonable use, cuts down its
earnings, retards the development of
the country, and causes deficiency in
the postal revenues, which, for the
year ending June 80, 1905, exceeded
100000.

Who will fiji the appointive city
offices during the coming admins
tration? There are five such positions
to be assigned, and considerable spec
ulation is now being INDUCED in re-
garding who will get them.
The appointment of the marshal
and recorder rests with the council,
while the mayor has the naming of
the city attorney, street commissioner
and the sewer inspector, it is evident
that the different appointments have
not been definitely decided on yet, and
apparently no ante-election promises
were made. When asked yesterday
concerning his appointments. Mayor
elect Fee replied that he had not yet
given the matter any consideration.
Consequently. forecast at this time
can be based only on what is gener-
ally held to he probable, and may be
changed somewhat before the new
government goes into office.
At present 1t looks as though sew
eral, II not all, of the present officials
were in line to succeed themselves.
For marshal no candidate has yet ap-
peared whose chances seem equal to
those of the present incumbent. Dur
ing the time Marshal Coffman has
been in office he has seemingly given
satisfaction to the council and the po-
lice committee. He has been a Wig
orous official, and though he was
mistaken in Albert Percy Watmough
Evans, he is generally regarded as a
competent official. So far the only
others mentioned for the office are
Bert Wilson and John Heathman.
However, 1t is said the former does
not wish the office.
For recorder no one has so far ap-
peared as an opponent to Judge Fitz
Gerald. and 1t is generally regarded
that the judge will succeed himself.
However. over the position of city
attorney more doubt exists, and opin-
ions differ as to who will receive the
appointment. Some attorneys believe
tat c. H. Carter will continue to hold
the office, although ne is OF opposite
political faith from the mayor. Should

Whales Chase Herring School.

The herring season opened at Ma
naimo with a rush wien the first
shoal, estimated at 1000 tons, came
rushing into the harbor in a perfect
tempest of fright, seeking shelter
from a school of whales that was fol-
lowing them, blowing and shouting
like PURPOSES, says a Tacoma dis
patch. In five minutes after the run
commenced the entire harbor was all
most solid mass of fish, thousands
lying on the shore as the tide went
out. Fishermen had been on the
lookout night and day for the past 10
days to catch the first run of fish,
which are the best as they come from
the ocean. Ten tons of fish were
caught inside of 80 minutes and be-
fore night passed, upwards of 100
tons were in the fishermen's boats.
This is only a slight corner of the i'm
mense quantity that came in. At the
present time the waters are fairly alive
with the fish.

THE PRAYER.

Long years have passed since that
sweet time,
When first l breathed upon the air,
My simple little baby prayer,
A prayer with earnestness sublime,
Since first my mother clasped my
hands,
And bade me. e'er went to sleep,
Pray God my little soul to keep,
Take me to dwell in heavily lands.
And now, the years on years have
fled,
And tho my mothers passed away
And tho my head be bowed anJ
gray,
The little prayer that l then said,
Comes floating back on angel wing,
AS If, upon the other shore,
A little child had lisped 1t DER,
For Gods own messages to bring.

STUPID POSTAL LAWS.
Over Twenty Million People Served by
Government Post Wagons.

Writing on "a General Transport
Service on the Rural Post Route" in
Golfers for November 25. James l..
Cowles says:
On every week day over 10000 post
wagons traverse the rural post routes
of the United States, carrying to the
homes of the 1875 American citizen
kings on the average route upward
of 100000 in all, and representing
population of some 20,000,000) the
letters, magazines, and newspapers
which, among other things, keep them
informed as to the plans and move
ments of their public servants at the
centers of public business, and which
also advertise to them that most i'm
portant intelligence of the modern
man-namely, intelligence as to where
best to satisfy his wants and dispose
of his wares.
Strangely enough. however, while
his public servants have provided the
rural American citizen king with a
public vehicle for the transportation
of intelligence, they have excluded
| him from its use either for his own
transportation or for that of his sup
plies or of his produce. The uncon-
| scionable tax-16 cents a pound on
merchandise limited to four-pound
| parcels--is practically prohibitive.
on the first establishment of the
service many of the owners of the
rural post wagons, believing them
selves entitled, under the law, to the
rights of the old post-coach, added
to the transport of the mails the regu-
lar post-coach traffic, taking at their
own risk and at their own rates pas
sengers, baggage large parcels Of
merchandise, anything that was offer
ed, up to the limits of their vehicles
The business grew rapidly and with
| profit both to the carrier and to the
district which he served.
Suddenly, however, in 1904, this
general transport business OF the rural
post-coach was abolished. A provis-
ion in the postal appropriation bill of
1904 cut down the rural wagon service
to that of the city foot post. Since
then a carrier who has dared to trans
| port a passenger or parcel over
four pounds in weight on his vehicle
has done so at his peril.
Mr.. Cowles then shows what ignor-
ant and arrogant legislation we are
obliged to submit to at the hands of
our congressman and senator's. He
says:
This reduction in the business of
the rural post wagon outside of its
regular mail service, necessitated. of
course, an increase in the carriers sal
aries, and today salaries varying from
$432 for an eight-mile route to s720
for a 24-mile route are paid for the
| services of man with q horse and
wagon, transporting on the average
route quantities of mail matter weigh
ing In the aggregate-matter collected
and delivered per day-less than 20
pounds and In dimensions less than q
bushel, while the income received
from the less than two pounds of mail
matter originating on the average
daily route is not over Al cents pei
day-this against an average cost OF
over 50 per cay.
The fault, however, is not In the
salary of the rural carrier. His sal.
ary would be low enough. In all con.
science, II he were obliged to make
