might have obtained "a few interesting

projected upon background of forty
centuries.
Prof. Vincent told a few incidents ta-

about $500 B. C. to illustrate the fact
that laws are not always obeyed.
"A few centuries hence" said the pro-
fessor, ''archaeologfsts may dig up some

find the Sunday closing laws there, and
draw conclusions. They will proba bly,

evening 1t viii! be social and the
committee in charge has planned a
number of features to make a pleas

Mr.. Dougherty has received addi-
tional orders for text books from the
Vallejo Technicak school at Vallejo,
tvs Brief Shorthand. With the order
comes the report that the students are
making very gratifying progress and
all are greatly pleased with the sys-
tenn.
Dougherty's Brief Shorthand is a
local SYSTEM as competitors have
dubbed it, only so far as its pubIica-
ton and authors residence are con-
cerned, for writers of the system are
pretty well scattered through the
world. Mr.. Dcugherty has just re-
ceived an order for books from TeIok,
Arson, Straits Settlements, where his
Shorthand has recently been adopted.
It is taught by one who learned it in
the Anglo-Chinese schol at Ipoh. Fed
Grated Malay States, where it was
adopted some time ago and made
quite a reputation for itself in severest
competition with the Isaac Pitman
which it had supplanted. Mr.. Laid
law in ordering these books speaks of
the foothold which Doughsrty's Brief
Shorthand is securing in that far
away country-fve or six hundred
miles west of the Philippines-and
wishes it and its author greatest sue
cess.
Dougherty's has just put in six adj
ditional desks made to order according
to an original design. These desks at
tract much attention and favorable
comment from visitors.
The diplomas for the January, '07,
class of the Topeka high school are
being filled out at Dougherty's.
Mr.. Palmer Hogan of Hill City is
one of the latest students.

SAVING Loss OF LETTERS.
Suggestions of Value Made by Assist

More than 100000 pieces of mail
went astray in these United States last
year because they were not directed
even we'll enough for the experts to
decipher the names and addresses.
Millions of this immense total went
to the dead letter Office, where a lot of

writer's ascertained and the letters or
packages returned. But in a good

never found and the letter is really

the prospective receiver can be dis

Assistant Postmaster General De
Graw wants to get people into the
habit of writing their own addresses
on the outside of envelopes. This, he
saws, would save trouble for all hands,
as the letter. if defective in address,
could be returned at once to the
writer This simple precaution would
save many a piece of mail from an

representatives, he is frequently called
upon to observe the new gentleman

attempt a delivery of the goods.

claim to know, that Sig. Lehman
neglected his clothing business for the
purpose of joining the jackrabbit fra
ternity and electing Mr.. Curtis. The
Pikers now charge the election to Leh-
man in person, claiming that it was his
flop from Campbell to Curtis which
marked the winning vote. 1t may be in
order. to hand the Labette man lemon,
but too much is enough. 1t should be
remembered that he was simply one
rabbit out of the bunch, and he should
not be charged with Hopping just be-
cause his vote happened to be the last
and necessary one. He probably had 1T
in mind to flop anyway after the STAN
