POSTMA STEERS OF OLDEN
TIME.
Ninety Years Ago Incomes Arg
umented by Acting as Agents.

The postmaster of today may think
he has troubles of his own, but there
was time about the year 1917. when
queer things were expected of post
masters. An old pamphlet dated
April 9TH, 1917, states that new
daily and thrice a week paper" was to
be printed "at the seat of government"
After the virtues of the proposed publi
cation were set forth the editor-to-be
says:
''Postmasters are hereby authorized
to receive subscriptions for the Gaz-
ette, and for all moneys collected and
transmitted to the editor, at the city
of Washington, a discount of 10 per
cent. will be allowed. Distant sub
scribers will have their papers care
fully packed and punctually forwarded
to order. 1t is to be presumed that
copy of this pamphlet was sent to
each postmaster in the United States.
Under the system that then existed
this method was entirely proper and
it is claimed that postmasters derived
considerable income from such sour
ces
The prospectus" further states that
"a competent reporter will be employed
to furnish the proceedings of Congress
for the Gazette" and that all inter
esting articles of intelligence will be
carefully selected and published"
The Editor-to-be, in writing of him
self says:
"As the humble guardian of the pub
lie veal. he will occasionally use the
privilege he has a right to exercise,
in expressing his temperate disappro-
baton of such measures of the coun-
try. If those opinions should some
times be erroneous, he wishes them to
be ascribed to the common falibility
of human Judgment, which cannot be
always in the right. AS far as it may
be possible, he will labor to be i'm
partial, but that there will be bias.
and that that bias will be in favor OF
the present dominant party, he has too
much candor to deny and too much
honesty to conceal What he can dc
within his humble sphere, shall be done
for the good of the country, and If
he fails he will console himself with
the reflection that he had discharged
his duty to the utmost of his ability
and~power."

JEFFRIEs WILL FIGHT.

New York. Dec 21.-Champion
James j Jeffries has agreed to fight
once more and win be seen in finish
battle for the worlds heavyweight
title next July. The big fellow, angry
over the talk that big Jack johnson
had driven him into retirement. to-
day sent his acceptance of the S5O.-

him to meet Johnson. and now the
match Is as good as made
Sam Fitzpatrick. Johnson's man
ager. was told by Rickard that Jeff-
ries had agreed TO fight He is now
ready to fix up the Johnson end of
the agreement. Fitzpatrick visited
Newspaper row this afternoon to tell
of the boilermalIer' return to the
ring and to ask that articles for the
fight be drawn up.
At once. on the signing of articles,
Rickard will post a guarantee for the
$4,000 purse. He wants to hold the
fight in the same ring in Goldfield.
New, in which Cans and Nelson
fought for the lightweight champion
ship last Labor Day. Rickard is pos
itive that he will be able to hang up
the big purse and still make money
The return to the ring of the cham
pion was out altogether unexpected,
for he has been flirting with match
makers on and on for nearly year.
The only thing that kept him from
donning the mitts was the fact that
he could find no suitable opponent.
He had time after time refused to
talk fight with Johnson, saying he
barred him on account of his color.
Johnson. before leaving for the
coast last week, issued another chal-
lenge to Jenries. and said that he had /
forced the boilermaker to retire,
that Jeffries was afraid tol
fight a man anywhere near his own
size. This so enraged Jeffries that his
agreement to fight is the direct result. |

In that district, but there is an abun-

enough men to tap" the trees, but the
Scotch proprietor hit on a brilliant
idea. He knew that tigers are fond of
valerian, so he gave orders that all the
trees should be rubbed with this stun.
The tigers came up and caressingly
scratched the bark in the most ap-
proved herringbone fashion, after
which all that the coolies had to do
was to walk around once a day and
collect the rubber. .-..
