Business at CIarIzsburg Postofice
This Christmas Largest in
Its History.

Monday was the biggest and busiest
day within the history OF the Clarks-
burg postofice. From early morn
until the Office closed at . O'Clock
there was one big rush and the force
had not a minutes rest during hte
entire day.
Postmaster Denham at the Tele-
grams request kindly furnished the
Telegram some figures. representing
the business done there Monday and
compared with last year of the same
date, two days before Christmas.
These figures are as follows:
Stamp sales Dec. %. 1907. ...S39S.7 ~
Stamp sales Dec. %, 1906. 2Os.2s
Increase over last year. .$19O.53
Mail sent out:
First class ..... 200 lbs.
Third class ........ 44S lbs.
Fourth class .... s43 lbs.
The stamp sales. it is noticed, are
almost double In amount OF last year
and the mail sent out shows large
business in merchandise and other
packages.
No other year in the history OF the
office ever reached these figures, and
they are significant. They show that
there is plenty of money in this
community and are indices that the
people are prosperous and happy.

Eupheml,ms For Death.

"Dscease" Is now a regular form OF
word for death. But 1t began as a
gentle euphemism, "decessus (depar-
ture) seeming much less harsh to the
Romans than "mors." All languages
abound in euphemisms of the kind,
which go back to a superstitious re-
luctance to mention death plainly that
gradually passed into a kindly desire
to soften the idea. "Passed away"

ture. Most striking Of all Is the Ro-

DOPING A RACE HORSE.
Tho Way the Potent Drug Affects tho
Unfortunate Animal.

mo one Is likely to be caught in the
act of doping horse said promi-
nent veterinarian the other day. "be-
cause the dose given is so small that 1t
can be administered under the very
eyes Of the officials, with little If any
danger of detection, and, besides. 1T Is
given so long before the race that the
horses are not then likely to be under
surveillance. If horse Is to race at
on his tongue In darkened stall at l
o'clock. The drug takes effect In about
thirty minutes, and the animal breaks
out into q sweat. He is rubbed down,
cooled out and done up as il he had
come In from morning work. Every
effort is made to keep him quiet until
post time, but he very often breaks out
again and Is again cooled out The
doped horse never takes any warming
up work, and this fact affords the best
means / know of for finding him out.
He is moved slowly to the starting
point, great care being taken to pre-
vent him from becoming excited until
the flag Is dropped. Then kick and
dig do the work, and In an instant
the full force Of the dope is felt stimu-
lating the animal to run the race of his
life.
After the race an antidote is usual
ly given, but 1t s.sometimes we'll along
In the night before the excited horse
regains his normal condition. The
strain on the nervous system is terrific
For this reason dope horses have shor'
careers, as a rule, and are Of little
