struck him. and he ran yelPing to the
nearest curb. Near where he gained
the sidewalk a victoria was drawn up,

maroon cushions of the victoria,

NEW POSTAL RULING.
BOXES ON RURAL MAIL ROUTES
TO BE NUMBERED.
Carrying Out of Order Will Make It
Very Easy for Mail Order Houses to
Reach Farmers with Circu1ars-Ofh-
GERS Narrow Escape.

It is said that the large mail order
houses i'll Chicago will reap great benefit
from an order just issued by the Post
Office Department requiring the mail
boxes on rural routes to be numbered
consecutively, according to the number
of boxes on each route. The box
where the carrier makes his first stop
shall be No IT, and so on until the
last box on the route is numbered.
Postmasters in many sections of the
country have been instructed to carry
the order into effect. 1t is likely that
serious objection will be made because
Of the manifest advantages to the mail
order houses. When a firm does it's adj
vertising by circular letters it can ad-
dress a letter to Mail Box No. l, Route
No. l." and the carrier will have to de-
liver it. All that the mail-order houses
will need to do to utilize the new scheme
will be to learn the number of rural
routes in a county and the number of
boxes on a route No attention need
be paid to the names of farmers living
on the routes, because a letter address
ed to a number will reach the farmer
just as if his name had been written
on the envelope.

HONEST PHYSICIAN
Works with Himself First.

Works with Himself First.
1t Is mistake to assume that ply
sic1ans are always skeptical as to the
curative properties Of anything else
than drugs.
Indeed, the best doctors are those
who seek to heal with as little use of
drugs as possible and by the use of
correct food and drink. A physician
writes from California to tell how he
made a well man of himself with Ma
lures remedy:
Before l came from Europe, where
l was born," he says, st was my
custom to take coffee with milk (cafe

oped, with pains in the cardiac region.

toms returned, and 1 quit it also. and

age. This was compelled, however.

heved the nervousness somewhat. II

happy inspiration | was led to try the
Postum Food Coffee. This was some
months ago and I still use it. I am

CHURCHMAN RoBs MAILS.
Sack with $50 Letters Found in Home
of Postal Assistant.

Sack with $50 Letters Found in Home
of Postal Assistant.
Two postoffice inspectors from New
York found a sack of letters in the
home of Isaac G. Downing at Yonkers,
who was removed from the office of as
sistant postmaster there the other day
by orders from the department at WASH
ington. Downing has been assistant
postmaster more than thirty years I'M
der all the administrations, and had the
respect and confidence of the citizens OF
Yonkers. His private life appeared to
be above reproach, and he was known
as a devout churchman. A few days ago
Postmaster Henry Osterheld was re-
moved by President Roosevelt without
warning and without a hearing. The
revelations concerning Downing, who
was not appointed by Osterheld, throws
new light on the whole situation, and
many citizens now believe the trouble IN
the Yonkers office is entirely Downing
fault and Postmaster Osterheld an inno-
cent victim of a dishonest subordinate.
The inspectors gained entrance to Down
ing's house without Downing's knowl-
edge and were dumfounded to find the
regulation mail sack with 2oO letters IN
it. Some were opened and some were
still closed, the postmarks showing the
stealing had covered many years. Down
ing entered the room while the inspect
ors were at work, but showed no sur
prise or feeling at all. 1t is related that
enc year ago a former clerk in the OF
fee had to make good a shortage OF
nearly $500 and died from grief ana
shame, protesting his innocence.

Mercury and the Sun.

The distance Of Mercury from the
sun varies owing to the eccentricity of
its orbit. When he is nearest to the
sun he receives ten and half times
more light and heat than we do, but
when he removes to his greatest dis
lance the light and heat are reduced
by more than one-half. Even then,
however, the sun blazes in the skies of
Mercury with disk four and a half
times larger than that which he shows
to us on earth.

compact, entered into with her chum,
Cleo Baugher, who committed suicide

Thompson, II years old, of Marion, Ind,
swallowed large quantity of arsenic
and died from the poison. Miss Thomp-

street. After swallowing large guam

CHILDREN WALK 700 MILES.
Tramp to Philadelphia with Parents
Baby Born on Way.

Weary, but not discouraged William
Ellis, formerly of Dayton, Ohio, walked
into the police station in Philadelphia,
pushing a dilapidated baby carriage in
which was a month-old baby, and he was
followed by his wife, who led by the
hands two boys, one and the other
years old. The party, with the excep-
ton of the baby, which was born on the
way, had tramped the 700 miles from
Dayton since June 80, and continued the
weary walk in hopes of reaching HON.

family lived on a small farm near Day

burned. Ellis had a little money, but
not enough to pay the railroad fares to
