formed the Postoffice Department
at Washington of the Importance
of some mail facilities in this
country, and the department at
once established a mail route
from Smithville, Lawrence coun'
ty, to Yellville, Marion county.
This route passed through this
| settlement, and there being but
one poatoffice on the route, be-
tween the ends of the route, and
that one being at Mt. Olive, in
lizard county, Capt, VIM. Thom-
son, who owned and lived at the
mill on Spring Creek, together
With other citizens of this settle
nj ent, petitioned the Postoffice
D apartment to establish post
office at Thomson's mill. This
petition was granted, the office
yestablished and MIR. Thomson ap-
pointed postmaster. He named
the postoffice Evening Shade, for
the reason that at his residence,
which stood in the hollow at the
now Metcalf roller mill, there
was always an evening shade by
three O'Clock in the afternoon,
and after that time the sun was
not seen shining on or about the
house until the next morning,
The hills north and west of this
house were four or five feet high
er in those days than now, hav-
ing worn and washed away, and
the pine timber, so very thick
and tall, made the evening shade.
The mail carrier passed by Eve
ming Shade, from east to west
and from west to east, once a
week. 1t was a great improve
ment and convenience for this
part of the country to get mail at
the mill instead of having to 60

women only?" Is it true that only
women can make wine-drinking IN

this curse? You and | need to know
this first; because if ouly we women
can do this thing, why it is an awful
responsibility upon us, each II OF us.
And if somebody else a do it, we, like
all others, would like to give that some
body else the job. Some years ago.
at Washington, Mrs. Hayes became
mistress at the white house, and it
was for her, and no II else. TO say
what the social atmosphere should be
which surrounded her guests, and how
they should be entertained at bet
home. Well, she did an ~unheard-of
thing. She banished wine from all
her entertainments, with Just n ex.
ception. Secretary Evarts made a
fuss. He was mortified. He could
not endure 10 have Lord and Lady
English, Count and Countess French
and Baron and Baroness German come
to the white house dinners and have
nothing fit for them to drink-not a
drop of poison. 1t was too utterly
queer. So Mrs. Hayes made one eX-
ception in favor of their foreign high
nesses and allowed wine upOn her Ia
BILE in their presence. Bat only for
once. Her conscience - h~igh-souled
woman that she was-smote her 70:
that one little cowardly compromise
with wrong. She could better endure
TO have Secretary Evarts and the
Smiths ashamed of her than to be
ashamed of herself. So she quietly
and forever prohibited wine from her
table, and cheerfully endured the lift
ed eyebrows and shrugged shoulders
of the diplomats, British, French. Rus
sian and all, and the sh0rt-lived hiss
of fashionable" society until tina
hiss turned into a cheer, and fashion
able society turned round, like the
spaniel it is, and trotted en- behind
its mistress. 1t became unfashiol-
able to serve wine and to offer wine
in fashionable society while Mrs.
Hayes was in the white house.
