Woman's greatest dream of beauty and
glory Is when nature has chosen her to
become mother. Every faculty is keenly
alert as she foresees the joy, ambition,
success and the lifelong satisfaction COM
fng nearer, day by day, in the dear and
innocent being so soon to see light, and
the uncertainty whether she shall see q
sweet girl or a brave boy face beside her
on the pillow adds zest to her expectancy.

The Rural Mail Service.

The retrenchment which 1t is
rumored may be inaugurated in
the management OF the rural mail
service will not be endorsed by
the farmers II it is attended by any
cuTtailment OF mail conveniences.
The ROstofice Department may
discontinue the Office Of superin-
tendant and make the superinten.
dants inspectors, and it may save
money in other ways, but should
1t change the service from daily to
tri9weekly in any instance it will
undoubtedly cause a howl wher
ever the mail facilities are reduced.
Conveniences Of this kind, once
established, are relinquished with
great reluctance.
The trouble seems to be that
the service has been extended too
rapidly. Enthusiasm of officials
and political considerations have
doubtless in many instances caus~
ed the establishment Of routes for
which there was inadequate war
rant. The proposed order that all
twenty -four mile routes which
serve less than one hundred fami-
lies must be tri.weekly instead OF
daily, is evidence that the service
has been pushed in its develop
ment.
The cost OF the rural mail ser.
vice, and the persistent demand
for it's extension, has been the
cause Of much thought as to ways
and means for putting the carry
ing service on paying level. 1t
has been suggested that the rural
mail service be established on the
basis Of the stage coach business
in the old days of travel from tav
ern to tavern. The coaches car
ried passengers, merchandise and
mail matter, and it is argued that
il such general service were per
mitted the cost OF carrying the
mails would be offset by the earn
ings on the carrying trade.
While the growing that would
follow reductions Of service would
undoubtedly give many congress
men uncomfortable half hours
with constituents, this would be
only a trifling disturbance in COM
parison with that which might
easily grow up If Government
carrying trade we're established to
bolster the rural mail delivery.

HON. BEN JOHNSON
IN BULLITT COUNTY

Hon Ben johnson, Of Nelson
County, spoke here last tuesday after q
noon Aug. 2s, in the Circuit Court
room to one OF the largest and most
representative audiences that have
assembled here in the last two years.
Mi. johnson was introduced to the
audience by chairman Sneed of the
Democratic County Committee in a
few brief remarks, aud was greeted
with prolonged applause.
Mr.. Johnson devoted the greater
part Of his time to exposing the in
iouities of the Dingley Tariff bill and
evils of the trusts founded thereon ;
showing plainly how every necessary
article used by the farmer, the laborer
and citizen generally was taxed for
all it would bear, while the diamonds
of the rich, gold and silver bullion,
and articles OF luxury were either on
the free list or scarcely taxed at all.
His speech bristled with facts and

dry or prosy affair. 1t was inter-
spersed with jokes and anecdotes told
in happy vein, that charmed and
delighted the audience, who showed
their appreciation by their close atten-
tion and liberal applause. II the Dem

The American Society of Equity

will be seen from the Owensboro

Green River district. Never be-
fore in the history of the organiza-
tion were the prospects brighter
for success than they are at pres
ent. From every section en-
couraging reports are being
received. More tobacco growers
signed the acreage pledge than
ever before, and more growers are
pledging their crops to the Equity
warehouses than ever before. This
is as it should be. The farmers
have made a wonderful fight
against the tobacco trust and have
already won notable victories. 1t
is the belief of the leaders of the
cause in Daviess county that the
greatest victory over the trust will
be won this year. With harmony
everywhere, and all of the farmers
working together for better prices

Difficult Haymaking.

One of the most curious sights that
one notices in the agricultural parts Of
Norway is the peculiar way of drying
out the hay. On account Of the eX
IRENE dampness the grass rots if left
on the ground after it is moved. Wood
en- drying fences that stretch for hun
dreds of yards across the fields are
built, and every night the hay is hung
out to dry, like the family wash. The
sun helps along in the daytime, but it
is only Il half hearted help, and in the
neighborhood Of Bergen. where it is
said to rain 3G4 days out Of the year,
the hay is almost always Ion the
fence" In the lake districts, where the
billy country makes means Of trans
portation very difficult, a heavy copper
wire is stretched from the top of Il
mountain to the village in the valley
below. Down this huge masses of hay
are sent sailing through the air, some
times whiZzing dangerously near the
unwary tourists head. New York
