Congress usually does few things
during a session that meet with ap-
proval. The doing away with the spec
ial delivery stamps is convenience to
the entire people. Instead of running
to the Office for the special delivery
stamp, all one will have to do after July
l next to have letter delivered double
quick on receipt of it at the office to
which it has been directed, is to paste
on five extra two-cent stamps aud

Don't judge man by his clothes.
God made one and the tailor made the
other. Don't judge man by his
family, for Cain belonged to a good
family. Don't judge a man by his

Don't judge man by the house he
lives in, for the lizard and the rat often
inhabit the grander structure. When
a man dies they who survive him ask
what property there is left behind; the
angel who bends over the dying man
asks what good deeds he has sent be-

he is cheating himself, and he will find
that instead of saving money he is pro-
ducing loss to his business. People
like to read large we'll displayed ads,
and they hesitate a long time about
reading condensed or crowded ads
poorly displayed.

All previous attempts have only pro

that has SO long been looked for has
been accomplished at last by grating
