Must Fully Address Rural Mail.

The Post Office Department has sus-
pended an order recently issued per-
mitting mail matter to be addressed to
box numbers on rural routes. As
soon as the mail order houses learned
of the numbering they obtained per-
mission to address mail to the box
numbers only Merchants in the small
Ier cities and towns objected on the
ground that if large mail order houses
were allowed to make use of box num-
bers in that way the business of local
merchants would be injured. Rural
carriers have now been instructed that
all mail must bear the address of an in
vidHal, firm or corporation.

A singular streak of misfortunes has
apparently struck John G. Freeman, a
business nah and property owner of

including his wife and his father-in-

Only himself, one daughter, Miss

Freeman received a message Wednes-
day informing him that his little grand
daughter, the child of Mrs. Mary

DElTlES OF THE ANClENTS.
How the VestaI Virgins Were Hon
ored by the Romans.

How the VestaI Virgins Were Hon
Ored by the Romans.
The principal wind delties were
Boreas, the north wind; Zephyrus, the
west; Auster. the south, and Eurus, the
east wind. The first was remembered
chiefly on account of a love scrape.
He fell in love with a nymph, but
could not speak softly and found him
self unable to sigh at all. Knowing
that it was impossible to make love
without soft speeches hhd sighs, he
was about to give up lovemaking as
bad job and go back to his regular
business of blowing, but took advice
of an expert, who recommended him
to carry off the girl. He did so. She
soon got used to his blowing, and they
lived happily ever afterward.
Yesta was the goddess of life and Of
home. Her altar stood on every
hearthstone; her fire burned on the
floor of every public building. Emf
grants when leaving their country al
ways carried with them fire from the
public hearth. The Vestal virgins
spent thirty years In service--ten In
learning their duties, ten in practlcing
them, ten in teaching novices. After
this term had expired they might, II
they chose, leave the service Of theil
divine mistress or marry, but few did
so. Honors were showered upon them
They rode in chariots, a privilege IL
Rome accorded only to royalty. Th'
best seats in the amphitheater were
reserved for them. They pardoned Of
condemned the gladiators. If crini
nal led to execution met a Vestal h
was instantly released, no matter wha
his crime.
