Rural Delivery Notes

There are women rural mail carriers
in thirty-six states and one territory.
Iowa has thirty-four, the largest num-
Der; Illinois %, Michigan 10, Indiana
IA. Kansas 10, Missouri II and other
states smaller numbers.
The morale Of the rural mail car
rfers is remarkably good and always
has been. Out of 43, 660 employees only
214 We're discharged for cause last
year, of whom only twenty-six were
dishonest and thirty had violated in
structions or regulations of the service.
The dirt roads in eastern Jackson
county, Mo, are in bad shape, and in
consequence the rural mail carriers
are having hard time getting about.
Frequently the teams become mired
and the mail wagons are left in
rounds on horseback.
Postmaster General Cortelyou recent
" approved recommendation for the
use by rural carriers Of automobiles III
serving Their routes. The postmaster
general however, expressly reserves
the right to require rural carries to dis
continue the use of such vehicles and
assume the service Of their routes in
the ordinary vehicles prescribed by the
regulations if complaint is made of I'M
satisfactory service arising from the
use Of autor- obiles.
A statement prepared by r. V. De
Graw. fourth assistant postmaster gen
era1, regarding the operations of the
rural free delivery service since its es
tablishment up to Jan. shows that the
total number Of petitions received and
referred was $1,000. Of which 1925
were acted on adversely. The number
Of routes in operation on the date
named was 34,6TT. More than 1,0O0.-
| 100000 pieces OF mail were handled by
rural carriers during the fiscal year 1905,
each piece costing a little less than ~
cents to deliver. The approximate net
cost Of the 32O55 carriers in the serv-
tee for the fiscal year 1905 was $16,.

Bat Mullen suddenly stack his lamp OUT
of the qUindO1D
after it and cried out. Setting his Ian
tern down on the platform, he crawled
through the broken sash and picked up
Bullhead.
Next morning it was all over the
West End.
"And Bullhead! cried everybody.
''Thats what gets me. Who'd have
thought it Of Bullhead?"
When they all got up there and saw
what Bullhead had done everybody
agreed that nobody but Bullhead could
have done 1t.
The pilot bar of the short line mo
gul in swiping Bullhead numerically
had really made a railroad man of
him. 1t had let a great light in on
the situation. Whereas before every
one else on the line had been to blame
for his failures, Bullhead now saw that
he himself had been to blame and was
man enough to stand up and say so.
When the big fellows, Callahan and
Kenyon and Pat Francis, saw his trail
next morning, saw the blood smeared
over the table and saw Bullhead's let
ter of resignation signed in his own
blood manual, and heard his straight
out story days afterward, they said
never word
But that morning, the morning after,
Callahan picked up the letter and put
it just as it was between the leaves of
the order book and locked both in his
grip. 1t was some weeks before he
had Il talk with Bullhead, and he spoke
then only few words, because the
| nightman tainted before he got
| through. Callahan made him under
stand, though, that as soon as he was
able he could have any key on that d.
vision he wanted as long as he was
running it. and Callahan is running
that division yet.
| 1t all came easy after he got well.
Instead Of getting the worst of 1t from
everybody Bullhead began to get the
best of it, even from pretty Nellie Cas-
Bidy. But Nellie had missed her open
| ing. She tried tenderness while the boy
was being nursed at the Junction. Bull
head looked grim and far off through
his bullying bandages and asked his
mother to put the sugar In his coffee
| for him: Bullhead was getting sense.
Besides, what need has young man
with heavy crescent shaped scar on
bis forehead that people inquire about
and who within year after the Goose
River affair was made train dispatch
er under Barnes Tracy at Medicine
Bend-what need has he of coquette's
smiles? His mother. who has honor
ably retired from hard work, says half
| the girls at the Bend are after him, and
his mother ought to know, for she keeps
house for him.
Bullhead's letter OF resignation with
the print Of his hand ON it hangs fran
ed over Callahan's desk and is shown
to railroad big fellows who are accord
ed the courtesies of the Wickiup. But
when they ask Bullhead about ii he
just laughs and says some railroad msn
have TO have sense pounded into them

feet were bare and whose face was all
covered with freckles. Our little friend
did not like that boys looks, and he
liked less what he did, for he drove him
from his mother, he beat him with the
stick, he pulled his tail, he put him In
box stall In the stable all by himself,
and when he cried for mother he fed
him on a bottle with a nasty rubber
top.
You horrid boyr said the little bull.
I'm get even with you for this II 1t
takes me years to do 1t. You think
can't remember because I'm dumb
beast. But you wait"
All this he said out loud, but the boy
only laughed. He couldn't understand.
The years went by, and little Mr.. Bull
grew into big Mr.. Bull, but he did not
forget Each day that freckled boy
came near Mr. Bull would give low
grunt and say: II can wait. / shan't
forget" By and by the boy had grown
to be q young man. He put on long
pants and a tail coat. Mr.. Bull had
grown also and put on a fine pair Of
horns.
One day the boy was standing In the
yard looking at his pigeons. Some one
had left the gate to the pasture open.
Mr.. Bull remembered.
Now Is my chance" said he. He put
down his head. he put up his tail. he
made bee line for that freckled boy

Attempt to Kidnap Dangers of a Cold and How to Avoid Them.

More fatalities have their ori. gin in or result from cold than from any other cause. This fact alone should make people more careful as there is no danger whatever from a cold when it is properly treated in the beginning. For many years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been recog- rized as the most prompt and ef- fectual medicine in use for this disease. 1t at ts on natures plan, loosens the tou ,h. relieves the lungs, opens the secretions and aids nature in restoring the sys- tenn to a healthy condition.

Morocco

It may seem strange to west ern civilization that both France and Germany are so anxious to gain control of Morocco. But this desire is explained by the fact Morccco is valuable terri tory and only needs good gov ernment to bring fourth theright fruit. It contains about 25O,- 900 miles. an area equal to both Dakotas. Its lands are rich, ca pable of producing splendid grain and rearing fine cattle, but unfor- tunately much of it is undevelop. ed through the neglect of the Moors. In the days of the Chris tain Era it was one of the gran. aries of the Roman Empire. In spite of modern conditions she exports five million dollars worth ofcotton goods, sugar, tea and hardware.

New Departure.

An item that generally escaped public notice in the sundry civil appropriation bill recently re- ported to the house of represen- tatives is one setting aside the sum of $25,OOO to be disbursed lat the discretion of the presi. dent of the United States"
 The object of this provision is to furnish the chief executive with fund on which he may draw in travelling and when call ed upon to meet other large ex- penses of his office that are not strictly of a personal nature, ,'but which are nevertheless necessary if the President is to uphold the dignity of his office.
 This provision was in part made necessary by the fact that the rate bill prohibits the use of free transportation by the Presi- dent as we'll as by other officials.
 President Roosevelt has been paying his own transportation expenses for some time but it is realized in Washington that his salary is not large enough to meet such expenses continuously.
