Loved One did Not Exist.

A remarkable story Of a phantom lover
who was never seen by the person whom
he is supposed to have loved so passion
ately, is attracting the attention Of the
London police. Mary Hilda Day, who re-
sides with her husband at Clapham Com
mon, and who has been before the courts
charged with converting a check for $500
10 her own purposes before her marriage
was employed as a ladys maid at house
in Mayfair where a Belgian woman named
Marie de SChryver was also in service
The prisoner, so the allegation goes, got
this woman's confidence. and told her Of
a certain Dr. Binstead who, she said
had fallen desperately in love with her
She believed the story and was delighted
with the engagement. Bouquets of flow
ers and bottles OF wine came for her in
his name. She was anxious 70 see him,
but IL was explained that the doctor could
not even enter into a correspondence with
her until she left service. Apartments were
found for her by the prisoner. but her
lover never put in an appearance. One
day the prisoner rushed In and explained
that they were both accused OF stealing
jewelry and that money was needed TO
avoid arrest. Upon these and other rep
reservations she finally handed over TO
the prisoner a check for $500 II was
added that the woman, who succeeded in
decoiving her as to her lover succeeded
in depriving her Of even her clothing

and loneliness. Still less can we set bounds
to It as an educational influence.
A system of such manifold blessings,
maintained at such cost by the government,
ought 20 be appreciated. 1t is new yet
and is yet to be completed, and its service
developed and improved. The point l want
to emphasize is the responsibility OF the
postmasters for the efficiency of this mar
velous system A vast and complicated
machine is required, but, after all, the
essential part Of the work rests upon the
postmasters. The carriers who daily dis
tribute the mails along their routes are
under the control Of the postmaster from
whose Office the route emanates, They
start from his office, where the mail is
prepared, and return with 1t to their col
leotions Their conduct, their reports,
their relations TO the public, in short, the
whole service in the first instance falls
within their Jurisdiction. Upon their intel
ligence. zeal and faithfulness the efficiency
of the service depends.
Nothing is more important for the ser
vice than good country roads. The farmer
can do much by seeing the road authorities,
stirring them up, or interesting enterpris-
ing patrons in this work.
The farmer can likewise help in securing
approved mail boxes. After the depart
ment spends millions OF dollars to bring the
mail home to them there are not few
farmers who are so neglectful as to have

Miss Lucy Monroe, a beautiful young
heiress, daughter of the president of three
Michigan banks, and for a time a figure
in Chicago society, burned herself to death
in the orchard near the familys summer
home at South Haven, Mich, because Of
a parental opposition to her betrothal to
an English nobleman. A coroner's jury
found that the girl had committed suicide
while temporarily insane. The verdict was
based on the manner of the girls self
destruction, which was caused by setting
fire to her clothing after she had drenched
herself with two gallons of benzine.
1t was stated by intimate friends of the
girl that she had chosen death rather than
give up an Englishman Of title, whom she
met in Europe and TO whom she was be-
trothed. The relatives Of Miss Monroe are

Rural Delivery for the FarmesSome Problems

~NLY few years ago II would
N have been necessary TO explain,
even to a gathering Of postmast-
ItIlleHI ers. what rural free delivery is.
Nhhae3 Today the words. Rural FREQ
Delivery" and even the letters, "R. F. D."
are as familiar to the mass Of the people
as the word "Postofnce."
For the fiscal year 1897 the total appro-
priatlon for rural free delivery only $4,000
and the number Of routes only forty-four.
AS late as 1900 the total appropriation was
only 10000 and the number Of routes only
1876 within four years the total appro-
pratlon had grown, in round numbers tc
Sl3,OoOOOO, and the number Of routes TO
24,OOO. For the ensuing fiscal year there
will be expended for farmers free delivery
alone the sum OF about S25. OOO. 600.
1t Is marvellous and astounding develop
ment, practically all of 1t within the space
of only ten years. and most Of It within
four or five years. The farmers OF no
states in the union have shared more liber-
ally than those OF Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas
and the west in the blessings Of this SER
vice In 1856 the first rural free delivery
route in Nebraska was established at
Tecumseh, the carrier then receiving 5000
per annum. on May /. 1906 there
were in operation in this one state
S74 routes. with a monthly carrier
pay roll Of s5O.500. or over 100000 annu-
ally; the carriers receiving pay at the
rate of $72O a year and distributing mail
70 a number Of families estimated at C.. 900,
In Iowa there were 2.O76 rural routes and
in Kansas ,446.
When we remember, including cities and
all nonfarming population, there are only
$50 600 families in Nebraska and that large
portions Of the state are still sparsely
settled we have the astonishing fact that
the great majority of those engaged in
agricultural industry receive their letters,
newspapers and other mail delivered at
their very doors at the farm every day.
In Daily Touch with Events.
Every day the farmers of this section are
in direct touch through the newspapers
and their mail with all the happenings of
the world, with the market reports and
weather forecasts, and with everything
that could be Of value or interest to them.
Not only So but the rural service enables
them to communicate with great rapidlty
among themselves. The influence Of such
system is enormous. 1t has revolutionlzed
