Nome Gets No Mail.

With the exception of tfe steamer Buckman, sailing from San Francisco, none oi the vessels leaving fer Nome have carried any mail, the postal department rcius- ing to pay s cents per pound asked by the steamers sailing from Seat tie. Last year the Seattle steamers carried the mail for four cents per pound, and the department de- clared the advance in price an at- tempt to hold up the government and refused to ship by these steamers.
 The steamship owners claim that the department will pay more than $1 ,0OO per trip for mail to Seward, whereas the Nome fleet last year made thlrty-three trips, carrying 100000 pounds of mail. for which they received only $I,GO0. They also state that the department pays $1.60 per pound to Japan, which is only double the distance that Nome is, and therefore their charge of eight cents per pound is reasonable.
 The department has advertised for bids, and until the contract is awarded Nome will have to wait for her mail.

New Industry For Society.

How. many of the motors in which we
see smart people dashing about are
really the property of those who ride
in them? asks the London Tribune 1t
is frequently said that in the more Inn
pecunious section of the smart set tout
ing for motor firms has taken the place
of touting for insurance companies as
the favorite way of increasing too
narrow income. A motor takes a long
time to build, say six months. A rich
colonial or some one Of that kind sees
lady whom he knows driving about
in a very fine motor. Dear mev' he
says. 81 like your motor very much.
Mine won't be ready for six months.
/ suppose you couldn't be induced to
sell it?" And so the lady gets COM
mission from the firm which had allow
ed her the use of the motor in order
to show It off to advantage and get a
good customer.

BETTER PIES FOR KANSAS.
Macedonian Cry From the sum
flower States Wheatfelds.


While the demand for college farm
| hands in Kansas is undated and while
| all ablebodied collegians who are will
| ing to work are assured kind treatment,
good wages, pure food and Sundays to
themselves in all parts of the Sunfiow-
er State, yet the crying need OF the
moment is for women cooks in the har-
| vest camps, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Men cooks have been tried the best
that could be induced to come, and have
been found wanting. They do very
well with the substantial foods, but
harvest hands cannot live and be happy
on substantial food alone. There comes
time in the experience of every har-
vest hand when he feels craving for
pie and when nothing short of a pie
that Is fair replica of the pie his
mother used to make will satisfy him.
Some deficiency in the male, which
science has thus far been unable to ae-
count for, causes him to fail when he
tries to make pie. He may be quick
lunch cook Of exceptional skill or he
may be a clubhouse chef with Paris
ian diploma, but when he reaches that
part of the menu where pie is expected
he fails utterly.
The harvest hands of Kansas are cry
ing for pie at the present moment, and
the safety of the crops depends upon
the rapidity with which that cry shall
be answered. Advertisements are in
serted in all of the leading newspapers
of all the towns of Kansas and sur
rounding states which offer unparallel-
ed inducements to women cooks. And
the chief qualification demanded of
them is that they be capable of making
the right kind of pie. The aerated or
denatured pie of commerce will not do.
The fiat pie of the quick lunch counter
will not do. The pies that are wanted
must have interior departments which
it will be a pleasure for the educated
harvest hands to explore.
There must be an average distance
OF an inch and a quarter between the
lower and the upper crust, and this
must be filled with some substance cal
culated to chase away that tired feel
ing which is an almost inevitable ac-
compartment of that feeling of honest
contentment which comes with the con-
seriousness of days work well done.
Little do American consumers of
foodstuffs realize the important part
which pie plays in the nations econ
omy. We read much in the crop re-
ports of the state of the weather. of the
probabilities of rain and the probable
tiles of drought, but not a word about
the probabilities of pie. And yet 10000
harvest hands today are meditating
whether to fly back to civilization and
pie or to remain at their posts of duty
and save the crops.

Kansas senator Let's the Gas Out of
the story.
One day shortly after Senator A. w.
BensOn's arrival in Washington from
Kansas an airship was sent skimming
over the city, says Il Topeka Kan)
dispatch. Nearly every senator went
to the balcony to see the machine, but
Senators Benson and Knox remained
in their seats. A page said to Senator
Benson: Senator, the airship is going
over. Aren't you going out to see it?"
According to the eastern newspapers,
Senator Benson, feeling that he was
being strung sharply retorted, do
you take me for a darned fool?"
Senator Benson was in Topeka re
Gently and told the real circumstances.
He said: THE page came in, and, adj
dressing both of us, asked if we did
not care to see the airship. Senator
Knox replied dryly, No, 1 see enough
airships in this chamber every day
1 said nothing, but went ON with my
reading. 1 don't object to the story

little fun with a new senator"

Veteran Confined In Southern Prison
Secures Hole He Escaped Through.
Many queer things have been shipped
from one part of the country TO an
other but it has remained for an old
soldier of Iowa to break the record by
having shipped to him from South Car
DINA the hole through which he made
his escape from prison in 1864 during
the civil war, says a special dispatch
from Des Moines, Ia, to the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune.
On visit to the south Major $. H.
NJ. Byers. who is the hero of this tale,
visited the old prison at Columbia.
S. c.. where for fourteen months he
was kept a captive. The old building
has been remodeled, but a carpenter
was obtained. and there. under layer
of fresh new boards, the major was
overjoyed to find the hole which he had
sawed out with a blunt caseknife and
through which he made the thrilling
escape which to this day has puzzled
some of the Confederate guards.
The hole was cut out and presented
to the major, who had it shipped north,
and it now occupies a conspicuous
place in his elegant drawing room
along with costly curios from abroad.
