Wages are low in Sweden and it is
very hard for a man to save, no matter
how economical his wife may be. But
the tendency is higher, partly because
a large number of the best workers
have gone to America and partly be-
cause Sweden is really prospecting and
I am sure it will continue to do so.
The history of the people shows that
they never give up and the modern
conditions are much better for the in
habitants of a small country than they
were in the good old days when nearly
every king was a robber and every
nation was kept fighting for the honor
and the sports of its rulers. Swedish
manufactures are developing. art is be-
ing encouraged and trade is growing.
The government now builds railroads
instead of castles and brags on its
porcelain factories instead OF its con-
quests.

Today I stood by the tomb of Gus
tavus Adolphus. one of the great men
in the worlds history. He was equal
to Napoleon or Frederick the Great in
the art of war and he was wise and
clean in his own character and govern
ment When the protestant princes of
Germany were quarreling over ques-
tons of precedence, the young Swedish
king, scarcely 20 years old. took the
leadership of the armies Of the Refor-
nation. He was the first military COM
mander to know how to use gunpowder.
He was the first to change his battle
formation from phalanx of glittering
knights to an open line of musketeers.
Up to that time the tactics of the Ro-
man legion were followed, of mass for
nation, but Gustavus extended his men
so that they could not be moved down
by bullets and yet use their own fire
arms He was the first general to show
that a peasant with a gun could bore
a hole through a knight as neatly as
another knight could do with a lance.
1t was the discovery of the use of gun
powder that destroyed the infamous in
stitution known SIS "chivalry'' and
brought the galloping barons and their
retainers to Justice before the aim of
honest men.

 At 1G:06 o'clock. when IA hours of riding had been completed, all except the leaders were. according to the rules. retired from the track. Those retired were walthour and Bedeil. and Breton and Samuelson. both teams having failed to make up one lap lost earlier in the race. This left eight teams. just one-half of the original starters. to fight out the finish at one mile.
 Eight riders rere sent away in a good start. and the final dash of ten times around the track proved to be a whiriwind ending. Fogler took the lead at the. start and never lost it. al- though hard pressed by Downing. who kept on almost even terms at times Only those at points of unusual van tage were able to tell positively who was in the lead. Fogler, however. held his slight advantage to the end, winning by a narrow margin from Downing, who. in turn. was closely pressed by Rutt The others finished in a bunch.

 The rtirement of walthour and Be- dell. and the fact that they were not allowed several laps which the spec tators believed should have been given them. resulted in such dissatisfaction that the least enthusiasm of the week was manifested at the conclusion of the contest When the retiring teams were ordered from the track there were shouts of unfair rulings. Ex- citement was intense when the final spurt began, but the cheers with which the start was attended grew fainter as the men rode on. until the victory of Root and Fogier was rs- ceived with comparative coolness- Fogier during the week has been mixed up in several spills that pre- vented laps being made.

 air. Cassidy stated yesterday that the number or cs~istmas packages which were passing through the maiis this year were also iarge- than here ,ofore. and that to insure :he best ser vice people who want to send presents through the mail should get their presents in early. as the holiday in- crease of business isad greatly con gested the business Of the office. and Vim tne present small force fl would be hard to give the sery-ce to the peo- pie they expect He also stated that conditions in the postoffice wese much better than last year. owing to the ad- dision ss four new clerks. and that where there were twenty complaints registered against the service last year there is but one this year.
 An order has been received at the rostofhce advising that those who have boxes rented must renew the rent by December 21. or the boxes will bs rented C other parties. This order comes from tFie postoffice department at Washington. D. c. Heretofore ii has been the policy to allow twenty days in which 70 renew the box rent but the postoface department has withdrawn this leniencg
 The postoface will be moved into its new quarters in the library building on Main street. as soon as 1t is con- pieted. which is expected to be about January The fixtures for the new postoffce have arrived and are stored in the swimming tank at the Y. RI C. A.
 The new efhee will have $500 boxes This is claimed by postoffice inspectors  to be more boxes than any other post office in the United States. and was only exceeded by Cripple Creek. Col esado. before city delivery was es- fablished there The large number of boxes Is due to the fact that while Bisbee has the population to be en- titled to a city delivery. the postoffice department will not grant this privi- lege on account of the iact of street. and similar arrangements.
 The new office will be ample to take care Of the present business. A plan to establish a general delivery depart nent for women was abandoned when the daily number of women callers wits taken. An average day was chosen and the callers at the general delivery window were s,I17. of which only SC were women. After settling in th1 new quarters Mir. Cassidy expects to establish substation, one on Brewery avenue and the other on the Naco road. He believes this will greatly assist in relieving the hampered con dit;on. These proposed authorizations viii only sell stamps and issue money orders.
