We noticed in the Postmaster Gener-
ais report a suggestion that people
writing letters should sign their full
names and addresses to their letters,
and there would never be letter but
what could be returned if it failed to
reach the person it was intended for
The report suggests better way than
that, too, but one which is a little more
expensive. That is to have a small
card printed on the corner of the en-
velope This will cost only trifle, and
| if the letter cannot be delivered to the
address, or the address should be wrong,
the letter would come back in the course
of five or seven days, instead of going
through the dead letter office, and final
ly being returned to the writer after a
lapse of two weeks or more. The lat
ter suggestion is much the best, and
can be adopted at a very small expense.

One crisp morning during Christmas
week we DECIDED to have an ll-day
rabbit hunt. We owned a fine pack
of dogs, and the ground being Just
right for them to smell. we resolved
to make the cottontails hustle. The
party consisted Of four boys besides
myself. three men and q negro boy.
We boys went in a wagon and the men
rode horseback. We Went up to one
OF my fathers farms about three miles
from town, and soon were ready to
go to the woods. We hadn't gone but
q little way when big rabbit bounced
out from the grass right under our
feet, and made across the field. closely
followed by the dogs. We boys wero
not far behind. and we all whooped
and shouted to make it as exciting
ms possible. We soon ran Miss Molly
down. and the hounds made quick work
: Of her. We arrived just In time to
save her from being. torn to shrcds.
Before we got our breath again we
heard the negro boy shouting over In
another field: "Hyar she goes! Whoop!
Hyar, Rather! Hyar, Rip! Hyar! hyar!'
He had kicked UP another one. and
soon had tho dogs on the track, and
