Don't Write on II.

People who send photographs through
the mails should not write on the photo
graph unless they choose to pay regu-
lar letter rates. Quite recently Post
Office Inspector James Wardell, OF AL
toona, Pennsylvania. caused the arrest
of twenty-three residents of Johnstown,
city IN the same state. for breaking
the postal laws on this count. Each
one was fined $40. 90 and costs and prob
ably the action of the inspector will
keep these twenty three people from
ever doing anything like this again.
The strictness of Uncle Sans regu-
lations in regard to postal employees is
shown in the fact that not long ago
post irrier was discharged for stop
ping to drink cup of coffee while on
his route and another one was brought
up to answer to charge of working
over eight hours. These things seem
ridiculous to the average reader and
although the actions of post carriers
are more or less in the public eye con-
tinually the government is determined
that its rules and regulations shall be
carried out to the letter.
One of the best stories told about
trouble with employees comes from an
old inspector who sometimes is in this
field. The department had been having
trouble with an Office in Montana and
it seemed impossible to get reports and
other communications from the post
master. An inspector was sent to the
berg. After inquiring of several cow
boys where the postofice was he finally
learned that it was in saloon across
the way, the only building in sight be-
side some dobe huts. Walking in he
accosted the bartender and was in
formed that the postmaster was out of
town. The inspector began a series of
questions in regard to the handling of
the Office and asked why the regulations
were not lived up to. The bartender
didn't like the aggressive way of the
inspector and reaching down under the
bar pulled out an old cigar box. Throw
ing it onto the bar he snappily said
''There is your old postofiice." Now
take it out of here. It's more bother
than little bit.
What the Inspector finally did about
the matter is not told but it's safe to
venture that he found no more fault
with the management of the "office,

Shriekine and Shooting.

II is a comfort to realize when we
hear people talking about "the good old
times that used to be-" that in some
respects. at least, we show more COM
mon sense today. One instance is in
our attitude toward women. There
was a time when woman was expect
ed to shrek and faint in almost any
emergency. 1t was even considered an
attractive exhibition of dependence.
Today we pardon lack of nerve and SELF
possession in woman almost rs little
as in man. The girl who rides and
shoots has taken the place of the girl
who used to Shrek and faint. No small
factor in bringing this welcome change
about has been the campaign carried on
by the J. Stevens Arms and Tool Com
pany, Chicopee Falls, Mass, makers of
the famous Stevens firearms. who have
introduced our girls to the healthy, up
building sport OF outdoor shooting. The
company have issued a catalog illustrat-
ing many varieties Of lightweight rifles,
shotguns and pistols which girls all over
the country are using today. 1t. con-

 There are many homes where the family proper consists of but two. while in more ropulous households temporary absences from variety of causes reduces the number at table to a single pair. For such occasions this simple dinner is selected! although It fs a sufficiently weIl-rounded meal to be served for any informal family din- ner.
 supposing that the meal Is to be served at the end of the day have part of the work done in the forenoon. Boil three large potatoes and when ten der, drain and mash them. beating in one tablespoonful of butter, a high sea- scping of salt, pepper and onion juice, a suspicion os nutmeg, one tablespoon full of rich milk or cream and one well beaten egg. Place in saucepan and stir over the fire until the mixture ferns In . ball in the centre of the saucepan then, set aside until cool enough to handle. Form into six small CIcQuctlGSs ulp edcH lnlO bShtAy oSesSh egg and roll in fine crumbs. Lay an inch apart on platter sprinkled with crumbs and set away until diner is nearly ready.
 Wash one heaping teaspoonfui of sago first in cold and then in warm water. Place in a saucepan with almost three cupfuls of clear beef or veal stock an dsimmer gently until the sago Is quite transparent. This VIII take nearly an hour. Taste to see that it is well seasoned then put aside for re- heating. Pick over and wash very thoroughly two quarts of spinach. dis csrding roots and discolored leaves. five or six washings will be necessary to thoroughly remove all sand and grit. Drop Into a large kettle of slightly salted boiling water and boil rapidly for fifteen minutes then drain and drop into very cold water. This will pre- serve ard brighten the color. When cold press out every drop of water, chop fine and set aside.
 Freak head of lettuce wash all the ierfect, blanchej leaves; drain them. wrap In square of wetted coarse cloth. then In heavy paper and lay aside in the refrigerator or some cool place tin- til dinner time. This saves time later on and the lettuce will be crisp and freshened by the process. Lightly scrub the fadishes--tiny red ones--wrap up with lettuce. Butter half dozen of any selected kind of unsweetened crackers or waters. sprinkle them with sapsaso cheese Ca hard. green variety which must be grated.) add a dash of paprika and put them aside on a flat pan. Cut three lambs hearts in half inch slices, wash thoroughly to remove all blood clots. dry on cloth and put aside.
 Two hours and a half before dinner put three tab1espoonfuls of butter in stewing kettle and when sizzling add
