Score One for Proctor.

1t Is generally known that Proctor,
the republican candidate for sheriff,
is by a good margin the tallest man
in the county, standing 6 feet 6 inches
in height. One day last week, in
making the round of the business
places in jackson for the purpose OF
lacking up his cards, he entered a
store and secured permission to place
his own encouragement with Others ex
hibited on the wall. There was quite
an array of them. The other fellows
had occupied all the available space
as far as they could reach. This did
not disconcert Proctor In the least.
~ gueas I'll put mine on top, he
said, without the least considering
the feat from the ordinary mans
standpoint. So standing on the floor,
he with ease nailed his card at the
top, thereby forming the apex of a
pyramid. 1t was over eight feet to
the top of the card. A medium size
man cannot touch aven the lower edge
OF the card. This prize winner in
the way of long reaching can be seen
in LaDghorst's store. And the best
of the joke is 1t was done not to dis
play his superiority in this regard.

necessity, for there was no room

CONTRACT SYSTEM is COSTLY
Conclusions Of the Superintendent Of
Foreign Mails.

According to the annual report of
the superintendent OF foreign mails
it cost the government during the ifs
cal year ended June 80. 1906, $421, 500
more for ocean mail service under the
contract system than it would have
had had the mails been transported
and paid for by weight. The most
disproportionate cases the report
shows are those embracing the routes
between San Francisco and Tahiti
and New York and Havana. In the
former instance the cost was $42,120
for carrying mails which, il paid for
by weight, would have been but 81, 1853,
while it cost to transport the mails
to Havana $71.S7S, but which II paid
for by weight, would have resulted in
an outlay of but $2,239. In but one
instance is it shown that the contract
system worked advantageously to the
government, and that was on the New
York and Southampton route, which
cost $662,6SS, whereas, 1t is stated,
had it been paid for under the system
of weights, it would have involved
an expenditure of $119,74S additional
The excess of cost of contract serv-
ice on the several routes as against
what it would have been if paid for
by weight is as follows: New York
to La Guaira, $14,9S6; New York to
Maracaibo, sS6,109; New York to Tux
pan, $106,SO0 Boston, Philadelphia
and New York to Port Antonio, $685.
95S; San Francisco to Sydney, New
South Wales, $206,79b.
The quickest trip between New
York and London was IA hours and
six minutes, and between New York
and Paris, 155 hours; between San
Francisco and Yokohama, 401 hours
and SO minutes, and between San
Francisco and Hongkong, ga hours

Knitting as q Nerve Cure.

It is told of Robert Louis Stevenson
that one of the many things he learned
to do to keep him amused when he
was restless or i'll was to knit. There
are many men of generation much
older than ours who improve odd mo
ments by working with yarn and
needles. But women, to be women,
simply must knit after their hair is
gray, and it is good for them.
MY prescription, madam, is that
you knit two hours daily" said the
physician
Knit" exclaimed the nervous pa
tent. why on earth should ] knit%
Because nothing is more soothing
to the nerves; because nothing con.
duces to such calm and cheerful
frame of mind" replied the doctor. Il
could prescribe valerian for you, but
knitting will be better. 1t will do you
much more good. l believe that a
month of 1t will cure you"

far away now The dream of the

ital was named will particularly be re-

In buildings and bridges now under
construction, Washington is spending
$4,000, 900. Others which will cost
$40, OOO,0 900 are projected. The senate
and house office buildings will repre-
sent an expenditure of $7,0OO,OOO. The
eastern front of the capitol is to be
extended in marble at cost of $1,33O,-
900. A fine building for the supreme
court is in contemplation. The rail
roads are expanding $12,000,000 on a
magnificent union passenger depot.
Two steel bridges are to be thrown
across the Potomac river, and the
largest cement bridge in the world
will span Rock creek. There will be
a war college for the army, and sew
eral imposing university buildings,
and extensive improvements are to be
made at the navy yard and the sol
diers' home.
When the house and senate office
buildings are completed the plaza east
of the capitol will be nearly surround

groups of public buildings in the

building goes up it will probably be
