Rural Delivery Notes

There are women rural mail carriers
in thirty-six states and one territory
Iowa has thirty-four, the largest num-
Der; Illinois %, Michigan 10, Indiana
IA, Kansas 10, Missouri II and other
states smaller numbers.
The morale Of the rural mail car
riers is remarkably good and always
has been. Out Of 43, $50 employees only
PA were discharged for cause last
year, of whom only twenty-six were
dishonest and thirty had violated in
structions or regulations Of the service.
The dirt roads in eastern Jackson
county, Mo, are in a bad shape, and in
consequence the rural mail carriers
are having a hard time getting about
Frequently the teams become mired
and the mail wagons are left in a
mudhole and the carriers make the
rounds on horseback.
Postmaster General Cortelyou recent
~ approved q recommendation for the
use by rural carriers Of automobiles in
serving their routes. The postmaster
general, however, expressly reserves
Tie l4SuJ " require rural carries TO QlS-
continue the use Of such vehicles and
assume the service of their routes in
the ordinary vehicles prescribed by the
regulations if complaint is made of I'M
satisfactory service arising from the
use of automobiles.
A statement prepared by p. v. De
GraW, fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral, regarding the operations of the
rural free delivery service since its es-
adjustment up to Jan. / shows that the
total number of petitions received and
referred was 51,G90, of which 1925
were acted on adversely. The number
of routes in operation on the date
named was 34677. More than 1000
100000 pieces Of mail were handled BY
rural carriers during the fiscal year 1905.
each piece costing a little less than ~
cents to deliver. The approximate net
cost Of the 32055 carriers in the serv-
ice for the fiscal year 1905 was S16.-
871, T3S.

OBJECT LESSON ROAD.
Plans of a Highway Between New
York and Chicago.

Plans of a Highway Between New
York and Chicago.
The New York and Chicago Road as
ISOLATION is composed of people who
are In favor Of the Improvement Of the
highways Of the nation, the construc-
ton and maintenance of first class
modern continuous lines Of interstate
highways and especially in the con
struction of an object lesson road be-
tween New York and Chicago. saws the
New York. American. This road. it is
the intention, shall be of such character
that it will be benefit to every munic-
ipality through which it passes and to
every individual along its route. 1t is
to be primarily a useful highway. not
designed for the special benefit of pleas
ure seekers or for the exclusive use of
those intent on business, but one which
all classes of citizens will find a con-
venience, a benefit and a paying in
vestment.
The association is simply a banding
together of people working for a com
mon cause, who feel that united action
is more potent than individual effort
and that through organization results
may be brought about which would be
beyond the power Of any one to ac-
cOmplish single handed.
That the cost of constructing a high
way such as planned by the association
would be too great for any single or
ganization to meet is self evident. This
association does not propose to actually
build this road itself, but it's work will
consist of arousing public interest and
enthusiasm in the project, so that each
state, county, city and town will build
its individual link in it's own locality,
eventually forming a complete chain Of
modern road. In this manner, as can
readily be seen, the cost of the con-
struction of this road will not be bur-
den on any one.

green there is but one thing to do"
What is that?' asked the smaller
apple eagerly.
Give them the stomach ache. No
apple likes to be eaten before the prop
GER time. The stomach ache is the only
way to punish them"
For a few moment the smaller apple
did not speak. Then it said: 81 think
ats hOrrid to grow up anyway. 1t
would be much nicer to be a sweet
smelling blossom"
How can you say so? l think it is
Zine to feel the sun on our faces and
know our cheeks grow redder each
aday."
'Iy cheeks aren't red" replied the
smaller apple, "and my seeds are
Sgreen."
When you are older you will be
handsomer," said the big apple. Per
thaps you will be used in pie
Good gracious, how unpleasant!' ex-
claimed the smaller apple twisting on
tits stem. ''What is a pieg'
1T is something people eat 1t is
very good. No apple need feel asham-
ed to be used in one"
"WiI the apple at the top of the tree

apple.
IF it has j worm hole 1 should not
care to be used in the same pie" re-
marked the larger apple.
II should not care to be used in
pie anyway" saiG the smaller apple.
What else could 1 do?'
"Oh, there are baked apples and fried
apples and apples that are used for
cider"
"Cider sounds much pleasanter than
pie"
The apples used in cider are not the
finest ones They are all sizes and
ecolors. Very few fine looking apples
care to 60 into cider"
What are you going to do when you
get ripe?' asked the smaller apple pres
emily
The larger apple thought for some
time. II am going to the city," it
said, "to be sold on a fruit stand. All
the largest and finest apples are sold
there. They are looked after well too.
Their cheeks are polished until they
shine, and they are shown in a win
dow beside the grape fruit and oranges
and grapes. BY Thanksgiving time I
suppose I shall be eaten"

STEEP GRADES.
Why Good Road Expert Favors Re-
ducing Them.

Why a Good Road Expert FavOrs Re-
ducing Them.
An expert on roadmaking declares
that much can be done at small ex-
pense If road supervisors and commits
sioners exercise judgment In their
work, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer
In every possible case, he declares,
efforts should be made to reduce steep
grades by cutting the top of each hill
and filing in at the bottom. 1.-THE best
grade and FORM" he adds, land the
most perfect system of drainage for an
earth road constitute the best prepara-
ton for a gravel or macadam road
should either Of these surfaces be add
ed at a later date. The grades Of a
road limit the size Of loads which can
be drawn over it."
He illustrates this statement by the
following comparative facts: A pair
Of horses can with the same effort
draw 1900 pounds on a per cent
grade, or one foot rise in twenty feet;
1920 pounds on a 2 per cent grade or
one foot rise in fifty feet; 5000 pounds
on a 1 per cent grade, or one foot rise
In a hundred feet, and 1000 pounds on
a level road

Al Queer SheIIfsh,

Among marine animals is a star1sh,
often called the brittle star" which is
the despair Of collectors. 1t seems to
make it a point of pride that none of it's
family shall be shown in bottle or on
a museum shelf When taken from the
water this starfsh throws off its legs
and also its stomach. The story is
told Of one collector who thought he
had succeeded in coaxing a specimen
into pail, only to see it dismember
itself at the last moment.

Need Of Good Roads.

The awakening Of the country to the
need Of good roads has just begun, says
the Boston Herald. The next few years
will see some rapid strides in this mat
ter. Two Of the most potent factors in
the present awakening are the autOmO-
bile and rural free delivery. The trans
continental automobile race which was
pulled off last summer resulted in the
accumulation Of much valuable infor-
nation as to the road conditions be
tween New York city and Portland,
Ore. The two seven horsepower run
abouts which contested made the dis
lance Of 1000 miles in forty-four days,
demonstrating the feasibility Of the au-
tomobile as a means of long distance
transportation. The finish of the race
was made in Portland in time for the
national good roads convention.

house with the apple hidden in his

All the smaller apples talked at once.
81 don't see why you think you were
in danger" said the large apple on the
top branch. "They wanted me, Of
course"
1t was late in the afternoon when the
garden was again disturbed. The
noises came from the house. At first
they were low, but grew louder and
louder. The little apple started. What

The large apple on the top branch
was looking in at the nursery window
Of the house.

tree began to futter
There was silence in the apple tree.
The little apple shook with fear, but It
did not say a word. Two boys came
down the pathway and stood under the
tree. eve must not make any noise"
said one Of the boys, "or the gardener
will drive us away"
(Which do you think is the largest
appleT' asked the first boy.
There is a fine one near the top Of
the tree" answered the other boy. I'VE
might bring it down with a stone"
The larger apple on the lowest
branch was much relieved to hear this.
The boys stood and looked up at the
big apple. Then they caught glimpse
of the large apple on the lowest branch.
''They see mey' cried the apple in
great anger.
'This is much larger declared the
first boy, "and we can reach it easily
with the rake"
So they stood ON their tiptoes and
aimed for the apple. AT first they tore
down only the leaves, which disclosed
the smaller apple. Presently they
brought down the large apple to the
ground with loud thump

And both Of US make our fingers fly
In piano duets, like everything.

But we play it in style from end to end;
We cross our hands, go fast and slow,
Till we nearly forget it is all pretend.

They stamp their feet. and they squeal
