MUST HAVE SIGNALS ON BOXES.

Postmaster Drake has received from
the Fourth Assistant Postmaster ton
eral new rules regarding the delivery
and collecting Qf mail ON rural free de-
livery routes. They become effective
July |, and are as follows:
!. On and after July |, 1906, patrons
of the rural delivery service will be re-
quired TO display signals OH their boxes
when they leave mail in them for car
riers to collect, as, after that date, car
riers when serving their routes, will
not be required to open and examine
mail boxes except to those to which
| they have mail To deliver and those on
which signals are displayed To indicate
there is mail for carriers to collect.
2, Those patrons whose boxes are
not provided with signals must attach
thereto some device which, when dis
played, will plainly show passing car
riers there is mail to be collected. It Is
not necessary that such device shall be
either complicated or costly, a very
simple arrangement will answer the
purpose,
q, Carriers must lower the signals
on boxes after making collections, pro-
yided no mail is left therein, and must
display the signals when they deposit
mail for patrons, unless the patrons
have made request to the contrary.
| 4. Carriers must be instructed tO
promptly inform patrons of their routes
with regard to this order, and you should
without expense to the department, Use
such other necessary means for inform.
ing them as will secure complete
understanding and full compliance by
all patrons on the date mentioned.

VERY LIGHT VOTE
At the Primary Election Held in the City
of Yale Tuesday, June IL. Primary
Reform Carried In st. Clair County
by the Smallest Vote ever
polIed,

Tuesdays primary election proved to
be farce, not only in our city but the
cities, villages and townships through
out the county.
In Port Huron the vote for direct
nomination of Republican party candi-
dates stood 276 for and l64 against
Marine City 80 for, 80 against; It. Clair
20 for, 80 against; Yale 81 for, II
against. Throughout the county the
totals are 692 for and AL against. Ac.
cording to this, one must come to the
conclusion that the people at large are
not interested in direct nominations.

Is the Horse d coward2

r. NJ Ware in the Outing Magazine.
 Imprimls. the horse is a coward-nature made him so-an unreasoning coward who fears everything with which he is unfamiliar; nothing, however horrible, to which association has accustomed him, d creature given over to sudden and un- controllable panies. and, in their par oxysms. stopping at no injury 10 self, or to those who cherish him. His overpow- erlng instinct in such eases Is flight, fre- duently, but not always, associated With a determination to clear himself from any hampering surroundings. He has no feel ings of revenge, unless trained To cunning by the abuse or the mistakes of mankind and, when these prevail, he rarely wreaks his vengeance upon any particular indi- vidual but upon humanity in general with no regard for age or sex.
 The sentiment of revenge Is so usually associated with cowardice that il may al- most be classed HIS a phase of that in- stinet. CoWardiee manifests itself in equine connection in many ways-with one it is terror of the dark, which will make him kick his stall all night, doing him self possibly serous injury; yet in nine cases out of ten light left in the stable

THE HORSE OF TORE.
Was Thirty Feet in Height and Hard
 to Mount.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Out in Wyoming q lot of scientific grub bers have unearthed the fossil remains of horse thirty feet long and more than thirty feet high. The giubbers seemed to have pleced the horse together without any comment, and they don't offer a word of information concerning either his genealogy or his track record.
 A horse thirty feet long would appear 10 be d lot of horse. If he belonged to the cave man the latter certainly had his hands full horse so tall that a thirty foot ladder became necessary when hls bridle was to be put on might well be called the pride of the stablc-althoueh no ordinary stable would begin to accom- modate him.
 If the cave man hadn't any ladder. and couldn't borrow one the next best thing was to climb tree. Then try to imagine hln shining up n tall palm with the heavy hridle on his back. only to find when he attained the right altitude that

was peacefully browsing on the tall grass of the jungle.
 Of course a thrty-foot horse could be expected to cover much more ground than the ordinary animal of the same breed even at d walk And if he took it Into his head to work his way across lots there would appear to be nothing to im- pede him. Fences would go down be- fore him like stubble. and a merely play ful cavort would carry him over raging torrepts.
 When a thirty-foot horse shied at a bit of white paper in the roadway the chances are that he jumped clear over into the next county.
 As a war horse the thirty-footer must have been a starter, When he let out q neigh the enemy fled in blind and un- reasoning terror When he ehamped his bit and paved the ground. the very hills shuddered. When he switched his tail the hireling foe fell about him like rip ened grain.
 And then think of the nightmare that could be expected to follow the first sight of this prodigious equine'

The surrender by Rear Admiral Ne

ly favorable TO the admiral. Ii has been
shown that the hopelessly disabled
condition OF his two principal ships,

the surrender, are proof OF the courage
OF its officers and crews. The battle

for permission to destroy her. She was
on the point OF sinking the next morn
