The Voice Admired.

The voice that is heard without rails
ing the natural speaking tones is the
well modulated voice which impresses
one with its calm and its sincerity.
Train the ear to recognize pleasant
sounding, agreeable voices and listen to
your own critically.
A shrill, parrot-like voice makes the
most beautiful woman a trying compan-
ion.
Just as the touch of woman's hand
should be warm caress, SD should her
voice fall upon the ear win pleasant
moss

Linens should be given a thorough
airing every now and then, most thor
oughly of all, of course, just after
they have come from the Iaundress.
Plenty of light and air. as well as soap
and water, are necessary to keep them
in spotless condition, for what occult
reason only some one wise in the law
of physics can tell. But the results will
tel their own tale-airings are the best
preventives of ''freckles" and mold and

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe writing a
poem for Old Home week in Boston at
the age of IS is something that may not
happen again in the course of the lives
of most of us. The present generation
has no reason to suppose that any of its
women will live to be that old, and
with the stress and strain of present

that age the old ladies will be writing

Decide for Yourself.

No greater evidence of weakness of
character can be shown than a contin-
ual appeal to friends for advice. At
times we all need the counsel of a good
friend; but constantly to ask for it is
like constantly borrowing Learn to
decide small matters for yourself and
learn to decide quickly. Better make a
mistake once in while from too hasty
a decision than TO form the habit of
indecision. 1t is the first milestone on
the roa5 70 failure.

GOVERNMENT No.""..YG|)NE
Sub Treasury in Chicago Robbed of Bills Amounting in Aggregate
 to $173, 1000.
OFFICIALS REFUSE TO GlvE DETAILS
While Adritting that Gigantic Steal Had Been Perpetrated, Sub-Treas- urer BoIdenweck Refused to Talk of the Affair-May be an Error of Bookkeeping.

Chicago, Feb. 26-It developed Monday that the United States sub- treasury in this city had been rob bed of currency amounting to s173,- 0O0 The discovery was made by government officials last Wednesday but kept secret
 When interviewed Monday in re- gard to the robbery Sub-Treasurer Boldenweck admitted that theft of S173,000 had been perpetrated but re- fused to go into details.
 Tt is true that what I and other government officials believe to be a gigantic steal has been perpetrated in the sub-treasury, he said. "The amount believe will be $173,000 At present I cannot go into details as to what work we have done in the case or what method of procedure Chief Wilsie, Captain Porter and their men Will pursue. We dis covered the shortage last Wednesday when the books of the sub-treasury were balanced for the day There is a possibility that the shortage is due to an error of bookkeeper but l am inclined to believe that a robbery has been committed. The money was in large denominations as far as have learned, currency bills of $1 ,000, S5,000 and $10,000 each.
 Captain Porter was very reluctant to say anything in regard to the rob bory "At present l cannot say any thing more of the affair than that it was reported to me last Wednesday" he said Tt would not be proper for me to go into details of the case or of what we are doing in the way of investigation.
 Sub-Treasurer Boldenweck declared later in the day that 1t had been de- finitely determined just where the shortage occurred, but he declined to say to where it had been traced. He declared himself positive, however, that the money had never reached the vaults He said that the only reason for believing that the stolen money had been in bills of large de. nomination was. that it would have been impossible for anybody to have taken $173,000 from the office in small bills and escaped detection, but that a package of s173,00O in $1,0oo bills could have been carried about the person easily without exciting suspicion

No RIDING WITH THE
RURAL MAIL CARRIER
Uncle Sam Says That No One
Can Travel With His Boys
Except inspectors.

One Of the interesting bits of gov
eminent regulation that may be new
to many Of the residents of Jefferson
and Dodge counties is that no person
except government Inspector, can
ride with one of the Rural mail car
rlers. 1t appears that complaints
have been made to Postmaster Clarke
at Milton that his carriers refused
rides to persons on their routes and
for the benefit of the men travelling
out of his office he has given out the
following:
The order of the P. o. department
under date of June 8, 1904: Rural
carriers are required to permit post
office Inspectors or other duly accredited
agents of the postoffice department, to
accompany them on their regular
trips over their routes. They must
not carry other passengers nor permit
any person, other than authorized
postal officials, to ride with them or
to have access to the nails The
fact that carriers from the other
offices violate the instructions will not
excuse carriers for any violation OF
orders.
