In harmony with the policy of other en-

In establishing the money order system
the department was not Influenced by the
expectation of gain, but by the desire to
exclude money from the mails. In offering
to the public a safe, cheap and convenient
method of making remittances, it sought
to induce them to refrain from inclosing
currency and postage stamps In letters, the

great expense on the service. Notwith-

King James, Books.

Some very fine binding was exc
cuted for King James l., who during
his entire Life was an enthusiastic
patron Of letters and art. In some Of
his books the thistle Is introduced
with heavy corne pieces and the arms
in the center. One fine piece Of WORK
now in the British museum is in bright
brown calf powdered with %1eur-de-lis.
Another folio in crimson velvet has the
arms of England embroidered on both
sides with gold thread on a ground
work Of yellow silk. The kings initials
are worked above. The lettering is in
leather, and the boards are tied to-
gether by red ribbon, constituting a
regal book in every particular. John
Gibson, in Scotland, and the Bankers,
In England, were appointed to be the
kings binders, but there is little trace

Compassion.

Among the stories which were told
by certain aged physicians at a reun-
ion Of medical men of the times when
surgical operations were conducted
without anaesthetics none was more
touching than the following: d
A little girl not more than eight years
old was injured in such q way that it
was necessary to amputate n Of her
legs. She proved to be of wonderful
pluck, and instead Of binding her, as
was customary in such cases, she was
given her most cherished doll to hold.
Pressing it in her arms, she submitted
to the amputation without a single cry.
When it was done the physician In
charge, seeking to brighten matters up
with pleasantly. said, "And now, my
dear, we will amputate your dolls leg"
Then the little girl burst into tears.
"No, no.! she gasped between her
sobs. you shall not; it would hurt her
too much"

Carrollton laughed. The dinner had
reached the stage where general con
versation glides imperceptibly into
monologues or duets. The soft shaded
lights, the odor of flowers, tempted to
condolences.
"Then you agree with a friend of
mine who declares it is deceitful for
a girl to buy violets for herself, thus
creating a false impression of owning
a young man, he answered lightly.
Miss Anstruther's lips curved into a
slow smile.

Gosh G \ N 1. Of BALL
Mitchell WON From Parker Monday,
Afternoon by the Close Score
Of a to 9.

Mitchell fans had every reason to
be proud ofstile basbeall team Mon
day afternoon when the team met
and defeated Parker, a team that has
been playing since the opening OF the
season-but it was no walk-away.
The boys knew t,saeey we're mp against
hard proposition aud they played
bali every moment OF the time.
The n regletfals thing about the
zane is that there was such a small
crowd out to see it. There were
Just a few over 100 paid admis-
sions and lit wasn't a very encourage
Inc situation to play ball to such a
small crowd There are certainly
enough people in the city who have
ssomessporting blood LIFT in them to
swellthe crowd to 500 or 1000, as the
case ought to be.
Dobson was IN the box for Mitchell
and Mike Nancy was behind the
plate in his old form of catching.
Dobson showed some fine work, and
frequently caused the Parker men to
fan. In the ninth inning he pitched
elegant ball and saved a possible
defeat. With a man on third and
noh,dyy out he famed one Parker
man, the next popped up an infeld
fy to Getchell and the third swiped
the air three times, retiring the side.
Dobson had good control and the
felders gave him good support.
Mitchell commenced to score in
the first inning aud got two on hits,
aided by an error or two. Mitchell
scored again in the second, and made
another in the eighth py good hitting
and base running. Parker got her
l6rst run inathe fourth on clean hit
ting and made another in the eighth,
and IT looked like they would tie up
the score with a man on second and
third base, but Dobson famed bis
man. Parker in the ninth failed to.
get the man o third across the
plate and the score ended to 2.
Murphy and Seaman we're ia the
points. Murphy pitched a slow ball
1t the beginning but quickened up
On his speed later in the game and
the work OF the battery was very
good. Dobson, the manager of the
Parker team, umpired the game and

he did not favor his own team, his
work was good. The following is the
score by innings: 4

eye wander, fell to watching the eager,
beautiful face of a girl across the
table-a face that sparkled and chang
ed with every varying thought.
"And IL she doesn't wear them?" he
unused a bit ruefuliy.
Miss Anstruther finished her dinner
with the consciousness Of having in
all probability answered the greater
part Of her companions remarks with
utter irrelevance. She could only trust
that Mr.. Morris, a fluent talker him
self, might not have noticed. The
girls thoughts were hopelessly tangled.
Carrollton's words about violets had
