THE MAIL SERVICE.

The public Of southern Utah seems
to have got caught in squahIle be-
tween the mail contractors, the post
master aud Uncle Samuel, and is eet-
ting Punched pretty hard lately.
The mail service, which Che Lord
knows has never been any too regular
or dependable, has been unusually
bad the past week or two, considering
the time of year.
TIL primary cause Of clio trouble. go
far as we are able to Judge, Us tao
fact that tie mail train between Salt
Lake City and Lund is very Irregular
According to schedule, it should
arrive in Lund at about one O'Clock.
Ia. M. and the stage is expected to
leave Lund not later than 4, a. m.
Often, however, The limited train does
not arrive at Lund until after four
and the stage has been in the habit OF
waiting until it did arrive, notwith
standing it was contrary to schedule
As long as this was done. we received
eur mail every day, even if it was
few hours late occasionally. But a
week or 80 ago the local postmaster
reported the contractor to the depart
ment for arriving after the schedule
time, and he was fined In consequence.
OF course, the contractor could not
very we'll afford to stand for this, and
now he leaves on schedule time
whether the train Is in or not, and
Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1906-10-26

the result is that we occasionally skip
a mail, which is very noyinc.
Then the contractor has got little
cranky and has been driving off
without the mail from re Cedar
office, when it CHANGED t. be a
minute or two late.
This pickering and childishness
may be very amusing and satisfactory
to the parties concerned, but it is
most annoying to the public, and un
less there is radical change, a petit
tion will go into the department that
will put some body out of business.
AS it is now. a petition should
be circulated at once asking that the
contractor be Instructed to wait at
Lund until the mail train arrives, no
matter II 1t is noon. Better to have
the mail reach us in the evening than
the next day noon, or net at all.
While we are in the kicking humor,
we wish to ask the local postmaster if
it is usual and according to rules to
distribute second and third class
matter before letters? 1t would GER
tainly be an accommodation to the
public waiting for the distribution of
their mail if they could get their
letters first.

drifting hack into the old issues be
tween the Liberal and Peoples parties.
The formation of the American
party and the aggressive warfare 1t lie
making upon the Mormon leaders and
Mormon people, seems destined, soon.
or or later, to force the Mormon
people, for self protection, into a
party under one head. Whether they
will unite under the name OF one of
the national political parties, or
whether new party will be formed to
meet the condition, remains to be
seen. But for the Mormon people to
go on dividing their strength between
these two political parties, while the
Americans slip into Office between
them, seems suicidal. In this con
nection it is consoling to know that
this condition was not inaugurated
by the Latter-day Saints. For the
most part they have renamed firm to
their political convictions, and have
given little consideration to issues
involving their church interests. The
new party was formed by Gentiles,
and the warfare on the Mormon
people is being persistently waged by
them. If the Mormons are forced to
band together for self-protection at
the poles, the Gentiles who are allied
with the American party can have no
one to thank but themselves. They
claim that their fight is directed only
against the leaders of the Church, but
when they get in power they refuse
to give work to any Mormon. The
ouly reason they do not disfranchise
every Mormon in the state is beca use
they haven't the power to do So
The Mormon who allows himself to
be beguiled into supporting their
ticket by their sophestry, deserves all
the consequences that an American
Party victory will bring.

The Fiddle Drill.

The fiddle drill' is one of the oldest stonecutting tools in existence. It is said to antedate Greek sculpture and is in use today in about the same form as it was 2,OO0 years ago. As its name implies, it's action resembles a fiddle The drill Is of two pieces. In one hand a carver holds the drill stock, which is like carpenters brace, except that it is straight instead of having a crank Tn the other hand he holds the "bow," which is strung with a brass wire and which is given a turn around the drill stock. To use the drill the carver places the drill stock against his breast holding it with his left hand, and with his right he draws the bow back and forth, fiddle fashion. This imparts rotary motion to the drill stock, and the drill Is ground to cut in either way it turns. The fiddle drill is used in the finest work, in crevices where the sculptor could not reach with his chisel and hammer without endangering the carving.

Fur ther, the superStitious moujik believes that each stream of water has its Rusalka, or good spirit, a lovely maid CD with yellow hair floating down her back, who spreads plenty around, but should the water fail. so that her hair dries, she will die. and famine or other disaster ensue.

Arrow shielaa.

The other day I saw little, modern book, in a green cover, on table in a drawing room. I picked it up. It was about the early French in Canada, and my eye fell on a copy of draw ing by their leader, Champlin, or Cham. plain. The scene represented was an attack by the native allies of the French, the Algonquins, on fort held by IroQuois. The AlgonQuins advanced through showers of arrows under shields nearly as tall as themselves, like doors with rounded tops. Now, you may see exactly the same sort of shields in a picture of lion hunt, in- laid in gold and silver, on the bronze blade of dagger found by Dr. Schlie- mann in ''the grave of Agamemnon." These monstrous Mycenaean shields cause much discussion among the learn ed. Why were they so huge? The AL gonquins used the very same shields, hung from their necks, and the reason was the same-their battles were bat ties of archers, and nobody can parry a shower of arrows with a smaller shield. Shields grew small in Greece as bow and arrow went out and sword and spear came in.-London Illustrat- ed News.

nACHSHUNDS.
As Fighters of Badgers They Have No
 Canine EqualS.

The good natured. philosophic Ger man dachshund has always been re garded as more or less of a joke iE this country. Even in the fatherlaro he is staple for testing. His elongar. cd body, his crooked legs, his animated tail, his resemblance to a sausage who could fail to make some sort oi joke about a dachshund?
 But the dachshund has very seri ous side and a work in life.
 "Dachshund'' means badger dog"
 Now, the badger is an animal that generally speaking, needs neither game laws nor sympathy, because he is able to take care of himself and fight his own battles. Naturalists place him as a link between the bear family and the weasels. He has about all the strenuous chara cteristics of both, with some of his own in addition.
 Badger batting was formerly a bar barous rustic sport that drew trade tc country inns and taverns. A badger was placed in a barrel, and the man whose dog could bring him out got a prize. A single dog seldom did it. A full pack might-sometimeS The badger is a tremendous burrower, and the jolly dachshund of the jokes has been trained for centuries in Germany to go into his burrows like ferret aft CT rats and drive the badger out or fight him. In some German and Aus trian cities there were formerly badger batting journeys in which crack dachs hunds entered a pit with an able bodied badger and fought for points. 1t is said that such contests are still held in Vienna. For spirit, endurance and agility the dachshund has no peer In this work, and a bulldog pitted against a badger would probably find himself cutting poor figure.
 So, make the jokes about the dachs- hund if you will, but give him credit for his prowess and for that gentle ness, characteristic also of the best bulldogs, that makes both an affec- donate companion to man and loyal playmate to children. Give the dachs- hund credit, too, for intelligence. He has it in large degree. Few dogs are keener.-New York Press.
