The rural mail carrier found in a
box on his route two unstamped let
tiers intended for the owner of the
box, and put there by some one in
passing. The letters were confis-
Gated and sent to Washington with
request for ruling. The govern
ment approved the action of the car
rier and said that all mail found in
any box without stamps or the pro-
per amount of postage must be taken
to the post office and held for post
age. This ruling means that the
owner of the mail box has no con-
troll over it.-Prescott Tribune.

Bert Symes and his crew are
getting on finely with the big
Carisch warehouse. The base
ment was excavated and the mason
work on the walls finished last week.
1t was fortunate that so little rock
was found in excavating. The
northwest corner only was in the
rock, the rest of the entire area be-
ing in sand, easily handled. AS
soon as the mason work on the
basement walls was finished Symes
commenced the erection of the
woodwork, the heavy timbers and
joist used being red fir from Wash
ington. The timbers, joist and
studding for the two stories are up,
and the structure partly sheathed.
The building is 66 feet square, two
stories above the basement. With
the basement, which will have a
cement floor, the building will en-
close over $4,000 square feet of floor
room.

What Is Dirtf

An old college professor used to say
to his students: what is dirt? Don't
be afraid of little dirt, young gentle
man. What is dirt? Why, nothing at
all offensive when chemically viewed.
Rub little alkali upon that dirty
grease spot on your coat, and 1t under
goes a chemical change and becomes
soap. Now rub 1t with little water,
and it disappears; it is neither grease,
soap water nor dirt. That is not a
very odorous pile of dirt you observe
there. Well, scatter little gypsum
over 1t, and it is no longer dirty. Ev-
erything you call dirt is worthy of
your notice as students of chemistry.
Analyze it, analyze it! 1t will all sep
arate into very clear elements. Dirt
makes corn, corn makes bread and
meat, and that makes a very sweet
young lady that saw one of you kiss
ing last night. So, after all, you were
kissing dirt, particularly if she whit
ened her skin with chalk or fuller's
earth. There is no telling, young gen.
tlemen, what is dirt, though l may say
that rubbing such stuff upon the beau
tiful skin of young lady is a dirty
practice. Pearl powder is made of
bismuth-nothing but dirt"

Petroleum..

A peculiar fact in respect to petro-
leum is the difference of conditions
under which that oil occurs in Russia
and America. In the former it is found
in strata of the tertiary period, usually
formation resembling a quicksand
and at depths of only few hundred
feet. In our own country It occurs at
great depths in the older compact sand
stones and limestones of the carbonlf-
erous, devonian and silurian periods.
The oil of Russia consists of a class
of hydrocarbons known as naphthenes,
belonging to the benzine groups, while
our American oil is mainly composed
Of paraffin. 1t is to this difference
that the great variation between the
products from these oils is due, for,
while American oil yields a very large
proportion, say, about 10 per cent, Of
Illuminating oil exactly suited for COM
bustion in our ordinary lamps, the Rus
sian oil produces far less of such oil
and larger proportion of high class
lubricating oil. The Russian illuminat-
ing oil also requires to be burned in a
modified form of lamp, with more
perfect draft, in order to overcome its
tendency to produce smoky fame.

"A fair average days journey with

loud, the umpire was forced to admit
he had not seen Kel cut base, SO the
score counted.
There was trick attempted once
which failed to materiallze because
Comiskey was there with his rawhide
sarcasm. VIII White was the victim
of his own trick, and ut the same time
he was cured Of attempting to turn
anything Ion Comiskey.
In those days captains were not per-
mitted to take players out Of the game,
except In cases of illness or injury.
One day VIII White was getting his
bumps hard, and the runs were plling
up against him. Commy caught sight
Of substitute pitcher hurrying to the
clubhouse and scented trick. White
lasted out the inning and was first to
bat. He reached first, and on the first
ball pitched started to steal second.
An attempt to steal second by White
was farce at any time, and Commy
saw what was coming. Sure enough,
White slid, and, instead of getting up,
began writhing and groaning on the
ground, holding his leg. The players
rushed around and still White writhed
and groaned.
"Oh, OH Obi My legs broke"
"No, no. no, but your hearts broke"
mimicked Commy.
And White, forgetting all about his
broken leg, got up and wanted to fight.
Bill Lange used to pull off trick
that set catchers wild, and it was this
trick that made him the champion base
runner of the league for two years.
He had habit of starting from first
base at terrific clip just as the pitcher
pitched the ball, and then, instead of
continuing, he would stop short and
grin at the catcher, who was In pO-
sition to throw. The moment the
catcher started to throw the ball back
to the pitcher or to shoot it to first
Lange would make dash for second
and eight out of ten times would land
in safety. He always claimed that he
could beat the delayed throw much
easier than a straight throw from the
catcher TO second.
/ remember when | first watched
Lange run bases l marveled that so
many second basemen failed to touch
him. He had queer slide, but in doz-
ems of cases the baseman simply failed
to put the ball on him when it looked
easy.
One afternoon in Kansas City l
found out the secret of Lange's sue
cess. We were playing scrub game,
and I was at second when Lange rap
ped out hit. He laughingly yelled for
me to watch out, as he was going to
steal on the first ball pitched. He did,
and Kittridge threw him out ten feet
grabbed the ball and started to apply
It to Lange, when suddenly something
happened. l remember going about
six feet Into the air and thinking an
auto had struck me, and an instant
later lighted on my back and sat up to
see Lange grinning, with his hand on
the base.--Hugh S. Fullerton in Cleve-

Some three years ago number OF
prominent retail druggists - realizing
that big change was to be made in the
proprietary medicine business, that the
public demanded to know what the in
gradients were of the preparations they
were advertising, and that general
reform was about to take place in pro-
prietary medicine manufacturing and ad-
vertising, formed cooperative COM
pany to meet the public's demand. This
company was called The United Drug
Company, of which the undersigned
is one of the thousand members.
Our object was, first, to manufacture
line of prescriptions such as we had
tried out in our stores and found to give
the very best of results, and second, by
turing company we would be able to
know the exact formula of every prepar-
alton we were selling, thus enabling us
to give to the public the very best rem
edies we could find at actual manufac-
turing cost, plus single retail profit.
This enabled The United Drug Com
pany to escape the heavy charges for
advertising and other expenses such as
have to be paid by proprietary remedies.
What was most important, it insures
safety and satisfaction to our customers,
because we druggists know just what
we are selling.
A committee of experts was ap-
pointed who spent a long time in testing
the merits of more than two thousand
formulas and prescriptions recommend

In April, 1864. came to Iowa. He pur-

visiting with his son. D. E. Hole, in
Walla Walla, Wash, and since then
he has made his home with his chill

Feb. Z, 1873, Mrs. Hole died and his

Mr.. Hole always adhered to the
Quaker faith. but with charity to all

himself with the order in Iowa. He

Stockers and Feeders.

A gain of 15t925c was noted in prices
for bulk of the desirable grades as
compared with the range in force two
weeks ago. Light cattle of fair to good
quality have shared this advance as
we'll as the strong weights and the gen.
eral country demand has been good.
Order buyers have had more commis-
sions for well-bred heavy steers than
they could have filled from nearly dous
bile the supplies, but there has not been
any oyercrowded demand for the me-
dunn and plain kinds. These, however,
have sold pretty we'll and there has
been no complaint from any source.
The eastern feeders were the biggest
buyers, altho good inquiry came from
nearby districts.
Better pastures have been the main
stimulant to the trade, but the fact that
the fat steer market has advanced and
farmers are now less occupied with
home work has turnedlthe attention Of
many to the feeder market. The num-
Der of cattle selling above 81 has beel-
quite liberal, and best offered maIe
s4.35, but they were not choice, and
dealers said something strictly toppy
would command $3.50. Not many de-
sirable steers have sold below $3.50,
and only the common light kinds under
$34O. Stockers selling under So have
been of an undesirable kind.

medium fleshed stuff at $5@5.2b.
August hog receipts will not be as
heavy as was Indicated week age,
but the run for the month Is still 3D.

Quality of the rangers continues
good and there has been very SLIM
percentage of the supply which has
gone to the feeder buyers, while on the
other hand eastern shippers are taking
a liberal number of the heavy rangers
and have paid up to $500 for them.
Good pastures are proving boon 10
the native feeders these days In afford
ing feed for the many medium ana
half matured grades which would 9TH
erwise be thrown upon the market and
would necessarily meet discrimination
in preference to the rangers, which are
the best killers. The corn belt feeders
are enabled to keep these kinds Off the
market now and should within SIX
weeks put them In shape to meet bet
ter favor from the slaughterers.
Moderate marketing of $1,000 cattle
last week has compared with 52,729 the
