Too MUCH For THE PosTMAsTER.-
In the little village of c., on the
South Shore, a postofflce was estab-
lished some twenty years ago. The
postmaster appointed was old Capt.
bill" Thomas, whose qualifications
for the position were a credited
knowledge of the three RS and his
ownership of the local store. He
was very proud of his new position
but felt the responsibilities keenly.
A summer resident one day having
occasion to send a postal card writ
ten in French to friend in Paris
was surprised to see the postmaster
take it and, adjusting his spectacles'
attempted to read it. Being unable
to do so. he turned rather sharply to
the sender and asked if the postal
was "all right"
The gentleman rather Indignantly
replied: why! What do you
mean?"
well, you see," said the captain
"I amt able to read 1t very WELL
being written in some foreign tongue
so I'll have to take your word for It.
You see, I'm accountable to Uncle
Sam for everything that goes through
the mail."-Acton Eagle.

was going on. They just stood there

cockney lad landed one of these pills
square in the little papoose's eye, and
the big Indian spoke.
HE didn't move, he didn't stir, he
didn't shift hair; but he didn't need
to take any action, what he said was
enough. And he didn't say Ugh!
Ugh!' or talk any sort of Indian at
all.
But standing there perfectly still,
never moving a muscle, and speaking
quietly and coldly, he proceeded to tell
the lad, i'm detail, and not in Indian, but
In straight New York Gashouse, pre-
cisely what he would do to him If he
plugged another pill at the little In
dian.
IF a statute had spoken to me in
that sort of language I couldn't have

to hear the Indian talking 1t; and
what with the surprise Of 1t aad, still
more, / guess the very particular ma

Gov. GUILDS STAMMERING STORY
Gov. Guild of Massachusetts, tells this
story:
In fremont street there used to be
a stammering college kept by Prof.
Graves. Next door to this college
was a flower store. Prof. Graves
method was to ask each pupil what
phrase he would like to learn to say
perfectly. Then the professor would
drill the pupil on that one phrase or
sentence.
One day a friend of mine, who was
afflicted with the suffering habit, de-
cided to patronize the professor. Be
fore he went into the studio, however,
he stopped to look in the flower store
at some very handsome yellow chrys-
anthemums. Then he went up stairs
to see the professor.
Now, my dear fellow" said Prof.
Graves, sis there anything particular
you would like to learn to say per-
fectly?"
"W-w-w-well, yves, th-there Is, y
said the stammerer. Il sh-sh-should
like tito be able t-t-to s-say ch-crys-
crys-ch -crysanth-th-the- MINIMUM

oil on the troubled waters, Mr.. JEFF

from the rail of an adjoining box.
The friend could stand it no longer.
Good Lord, Jefferson" he cried, in

Editor W. j. Vaughn, Of the Milledgeville
News, has bad sundry peculiar experiences
during the present campaign. We have not
agreed with him at all; we do not approve OF
ANYTHING he has written about the leading can
didate for governor, but he has had one expert
ence that appeals to US peculiarly. There IS
some controversy between his paper and the
Union and Recorder. Ia answer to criticism
from his home contemporary, Editor Vaughn
uses this language
1--WE do not care to enter contro-
versy with the edtor(?) of the Record
err, unless he will name the men who
do his writing"
We do not know the merits of the conten-
ton between the Mledgeville papers, nor the
comparative merits of the two papers, but we
do appreciate the fact that of all the anony nous
skunks that ever violated the neutrality of the
ozone with its maodor the anonymous publ
cation-the thing without parent, the offspring
of the foul egg of the scavenger bird, Matched
iuto life by the humidity of miasma, the anony-
nous publication, in the hands of an irresponsi-
BILE, unlikely and disreputahle roustabout, who
spells honor s-k.u-l-l-d-u-g-g-e-r-y and who al
lows the columns of his sheet to be polluted with
the venom and prostituted to the malice of
moral degenerates and social outlaws, is the
most loathsomely detestable.
We reiterate that we know nothing OF the
merits of the case between the Recorder and
the News, but we do know what we know as
we'll as any man living, and that is that an
ANONYMOUSLY edited publication has no rights
an honest man should respect.
