Letter Travelled Seven Years.

After travelling all over the United
States, the Philippine islands and
the Orient for the past seven year, q
letter mailed in Hood River, Oregon,
has at last reached its destination,
DR.. e. M. Anderson, of Sumpter,
Oregon, to whom 1t was addressed,
receiving it.
Seven years ago Hood River ply
sician addressed communication to
DR.. Anderson, who was then residing
in Chicago, offering to sell him half
his practice. While the letter was en-
route to the middle western city, d..
Anderson took departure for the Phil
ippines. AS he had left forwarding
address at Chicago the letter was sent
to the islands. For more than two
years it was sent from one post to
another there, but failed to reach the
man it was sent TO find.
Finally 1t was discovered by the
postal authorities in the islands that
DIR. Anderson had departed for ia.
pan, thither the epistle was sent and
for months it was carried about by
little brown mailmen who then dis
covered that tbeir search was In vain.
From Japan the letter crossed to
the Presidio and from California
was returned to the first address at
Chicago, there one of the college I c
ulty knew that the doctor was still IN
the Philippines and it journeyed back
to the scene of its former travels. AT
the end of FIVE years the Manila au-
thorities forwarded the letter to
Washington, where the dead letter
Office had turn at it. They opened
it and returned it to the writer at
Hood River.
Upon its arrival in Hood River,
however, it was discovered that the
physician had sold out his entire
practice and left for parts unknown.
Discovering that they could not de.
liver the letter to the writer and that
the DIR. Anderson was in Sumpter,
the postal authorities at Hood River
forwarded the tourist epistle to Sunp-
ter, where it reached the consignee a
few DAYS ago.

WHEN THE BABY SAYS DAD"

There are times when think that a
poor man
Has mighty hard furrow to hoe;
That Fate marks him out for misfor-
tune
That's when I'm down-hearted, you
know.
Just now, sit here by my cottage;
All nature Is smiling and glad;
And, somehow, this life seems worth
living
The baby has learned to say .fdad!"
l don't think I'd care Tor a mission;
don't fancy fashion and style:
But the baby hands! Let them caress
me,
And JOY fills my heart all the while,
A hunt at the edge of the clearing
A humble life isn't half bad.
God smiles on the poor man, and gives
him
The baby that learns to say "dad!'

PLEASED WITH CARNIVAL.

Keosauqua Republican.-Many Van
Buren, county people attended the Oh
lepaw carnival at Ottumwa last week
and report good time and a. good
show. The airship was a big show in
itself. The locomotive collision did
not take place for the reason TINT,
owing to the damp weather, the tues
of the engines became clogged and
when an attempt was made to steam
up for the collision, the engines would
not work. This was a great disap-
pointment to the management of the
carnival. especially since the locomo-
tives were bought under a guarantee
and had acted entirely satisfactory
under their own steam until the SUI
preme test. However, the management
gives notice that the collision will
take place, even though other locomo-
tives must be secured. The date for
the collision will be announced later.

SANTA CLAUS AND CRIME.

captain Mlller or the ,DeS MONIES
police department. made talk the
other day to the students of COM
mercial college in the capital city.
His subject was Crime" and one of
the Des Moines papers ventured the
opinion that the captains fifteen
years experience in the police depart
ment generously fitted him to talk
upon the subject. After expressing
the belief that crime is not hereditary
and that babes are born innocent and
clean, the captain goes on to say:
Crime Is entirely the fruits Of en-
vironment. The first seed is sown by
the parent when the little child is told
that the beautiful doll, sled, hobby
horse, or what not, which Is found
upon the Christmas tree came from
Santa Claus, who rode up with a
team of reindeer in a sleigh and
slid down the chimney in big fur
coat.
THE child at first has implicit con-
fidence in papa and mamma. 1t be-
lieves the tale. When the day Of
reckoning comes and they acknowl-
edge they have lied, that the endeared
Santa is a pipe dream, that it has
been caught by a story of pure fabri-
cation, the child is shocked and
reaches the first awakening that
crime exists on earth. If the be-
loved mamma and papa can tell lie
and live lie SO persistently and can
so abuse the confidence of innocence,
the child feels instinctively it is en-
titled to the same privilege, and u.s.
ually will soon go papa and mamma
one better
All Of which Is very thin line Of
argument. On Christmas eve when
the youngsters are trying to prop
open their eyes to see Santa Claus,
it is not because they are overbur-
dened with a desire to see the funny
little man with the white whiskers and
the pack Of toys on his back, but to
see just how many of those toys are
to be left in their keeping. And when
they learn as Christmas approaches
that Santa Claus has no actual exis-
tence, are they down-hearted? Mo-!
They are too busy in specializing as
to the size and assortment of their
coming store Of Christmas gifts to
care rap whether the gifts come
from Santa Claus or from papa.
Guess again, Captain Miller.
