HOLIDAY RUSH ON
AT POSTOFFICk
THREE TEMPORARY CLERKS APP.
POINTED TO SERVE THROUGH
BUSY TIMES
Substitute Carriers are Selected from
Recently Organized Eligible List
Appointments Are Delayed for a
Time,

The annual holiday rush at the OF
tumwa postoff1ce is on in full blast.
Three new clerks have been added
temporarily to the force and every eff
fort Is being made to give the people
of Ottumwa the best possible services
during the next two weeks and espe-
cially during the next five days.
The following men have been chosen
as temporary assistants for the holt
day rush: Harry Swenson. Frank Nc
and Mahon are old employees of the
postoff1ce and their experience makes
them valuable men at this time. Nc
Cune is substitute rural carrier and
has also had certain amount of ex-
perience through his employment in
this capacity.
The list of substitute carriers having
been exhausted by the recent addition
to the local carrier force, two new sub
stitutes have been appointed by Post
master F. W. Wilson.
The New Substitutes.
E. M. Yahnke, the last of the sub
stitute list, was recently appointed
regular carrier on the East End route,
filling the vacancy left by Dean Church
who was promoted to regular carrier
on the South Side. John H. Keifer,
I'll South Schuyler street, has been
appointed substitute carrier in place OF
E. M. Yahnke.
John j. De Bordfi another former
substitute recently securing a regular
route, left vacancy which has been
filled by the appointment of Milton M
Dickson, 311 West Maple avenue.
This appointment of substitute car
riers was delayed for several weeks
because of the fact that there was nc
eligible list from which to make the
selections. Until couple of days age
the local postoffice faced peculiar
situation. There were no substitute
carriers and no men eligible for ap
pointment. Had any one of the reg
ular men been taken i'll, or for some
other reason been unable to serve
there would have been no one to take
his place. However, a day or SO age

list composed of the names of the sue
cessful applicants who took the civil
service examination here November

substitute carriers were appointed ant

ATTORNEY WAITS
in VAIN FOR GIFT
LAW STANDS BETWEEN HUNTER
AND CHRISTMAS PREsEsT
INTENDED FOR HIM
Van Buren, County Agent on Rock
Island Road Puts Peculiar con-
structon on Provisions Governing,
Shipment OF Meat.

T y
Superintendent Given Of the Des
Moines Valley division of the Rock
Island today received one of the odd.
ion superintendent office, at Dsa
ingly just one, and arises over a pe-
culiar construction given to one of the
new laws referring to the shipping OF
meat by an agent of the road at one
Of the Van Buren, county stations.
The complaint is made by Attorney
F. NJ Hunter of this city. who is the
victim of the unusual construction or
| the law. 1t seems that Mr.. Hunter has
a very good friend who lives between
Mt. Zion and 7Keosauqua. This gen.
| tleman. who is farmer and a sctock-
man, is famous for the quality Of the
beeves that are raised on his stock
farm.
Present Fails to Arrive.
For this reason, when, last Monday,
Mr.. Hunter received a letter from his
friend stating that he had decided to
ship him quarter of a particularly
fine beef which he had just killed, the
attorney was greatly elated. With no
little anticipation he awaited the ar
rival of the promised Christmas gift.
But it did not come.
Yesterday Mr.. Hunter received the
following letter. which is not only self
explanatory, but also tells in few
words just what at least one Van.
Buren, county resident thinks of the re-
cent meat legislation.
The Letter Tells the Story.
Il The letter follows:
My Dear F. MI wrote you this
morning that would ship you a quar-
ter Of a beef. put paper around It,,
and then wrapped it in burlap and
fixed it up just as good as knew how.
Then took it to the station but the
), agent wouldn't take it without GER
. tifcate of health. thought well h-;;l
d the law anyhow. So took the
, meat home and put It in the wood
house. 1t is there now and you can
have it if you know how to get it.
Yours sincerely,
; ]. ii. Mes.
In the letter which Superintendent
:, Given received this morning the above
letter to Mr. Hunter is enclosed. Mr..
; Hunter suggests that he has searched
: carefully through the provisions of the
7 recent pure IOOd laws anu the meat lbs
! spection law and finds nothing to war
+ rant this action on the part Of the
: agent. He states that he does not
. doubt but that the agent acted in good
faith but believes little kindergarten
work on this subject might be valuable
to the agents along the whole line.
J, He closes the letter with q stirring
r appeal that Mr.. Given act at once as
: he states, he needs the meat

luton reported from the committee on
accounts was adopted giving the COM
mittee on enrolled bills an additional
clerk There was little or no debate
on this resolution, but when it was
followed by another still further in
creasing the force of the enrolling
clerks Office, determined opposition
arose. In the absence, Fitzgerald of
New York, had just concluded a
speech in opposition to the resolution,
In which he sharply criticised the mis-
take in the appropriation bills made
at the close of last session. Lacey
declared that owing to the policy of
holding the principal work on the ap-
preparation bills until the closing days
of the session the enrolling clerk had
worked forty-eight hours in succession,
and he commended that under such cir.
cumstances mistakes were to be ex-
pected.
Foraker Resolution.
Immediately after the senate con.
vened today the Foraker resolution
looking to the investigation of the
Presidents discharge Of the three ne
gro companies of the Twenty-tifth In
fantry was taken up and Senator For
aker addressed the senate in its sup
port. He began with the broad decla
ration that ''the President miscon
ceived his constitutional power when
he discharged the troops and also mis-
conceived the testimony on which his
action is based"
When Foraker concluded his re-
marks he received unanimous consent
to modify his resolution so that it nov
directs the senate committee on mill
tary affairs to investigate the circum
stances leading up to the discharge O
the negro troops. The resolution goes
over without action until after the holi
day recess.

[Star in "Zira,' the strong emotional
drama.l
and professional standing, which gives
rise to the complaint that she Is not
capable of human sympathy and emo
ton.
Higher education, culture and the
broader life that has been opened to
have done more toward the develop
men of real human sympathy and
feeling than all the a~rtifciality and
affectation of the years before.
When 1 speak of higher education
l do not necessarily mean the accumu-
lation of a lot Of college degrees in
dead languages or mathematics.
BY the woman of higher education
and culture / mean one whose intel
lect has broadened by her life of train
ing ansi whose mind has been able to
comprehend and digest the facts which
education has placed before her. A
woman with keen sensibilities and q
well trained mind, a woman of strong
intellectually, despises the gushing
display of feeling. II the charge of
GOODNESS is brought against her II
should be with a word of thankfulness.
Lack of feeling is so often hidden by
the disguise of hysterical protestatlon
and gushing emotionalism that women
of culture and refinement shudder al
the thought of being placed in the
same category.
There is no reason why the hottest
of emotions should not be rational, nor
is there any reason why woman's
power Of feeling be placed upon the
basis of absence of higher education.
The drama which reflects the emo.
lions of real life is not confined to the
realms Of the untutored to find its ex
amples of great emotions.
Higher education cannot kill reaI
FEELING in woman. Sympathy, love
and affection do not need primitive OF
elemental expressions to be sincere.

Margaret Anglin Says
Higher Learning Does
Not Harden NJ omen.
Gushing Display Of Feeling
Despised as artificial BY
Cultured People.
By MARGARET ANcLIN.

The claim has been made that high
er education for women chillS the heart
In livening the intellect, that the devel-
opment of the intellect along the path
ways of culture and higher thinking
makes women cold and cynical in re-
gard to human emotions.
We are told that the unprecedented
college woman is incapable of being
swayed by the same deep feelings as
the child of nature who knows not the
meaning of psychology and to whom
ethics and the subtleties of philosophy
are reduced to the primitive concep-
ton of right and wrong.
1 doubt this very much. The woman
Of high education or the professional
woman feels the same forces swaying
her, but she knows how to control
them.
What higher education and the pro-
fessional life do for woman, however,
is to eradicate the ostentatious display
of feeling SO long regarded as neces-
sary for the "womanly woman"
The power to repress the emotions
has no effect upon the ability to ex-
p~erience them. Convention and good
breeding necessitate self restraint, but
the woman who can control her feel
ings and whose breeding and educa-
ton have taught her that unnecessary
display of feeling is vulgar expert
ences them just the same.
1t is this, poise of the woman Of cul-
ture and intellect, of business ability

of the following that should come to
