Of LIFE
COMES LAST

The solicitude with which the
postoffice department looks after
the distribution of the mail en-
trusted to it's care is illustrated in
report just received at the Spo-
kane postoffice on the wreck at
Woodinville, Wash, Aug II. on the
Sumas and Seattle line. The re-
port leads off with the statement
that all mail caught in the wreck
had been found except two letters
and five post cards, which are miss
ing.
The report then adds that the
mail clerk, Joe Thompson, was in
jured in the wreck and died the
next day.
An inference might possibly be
drawn from the report that the de-
partment considered the recovery
of all mail except two letters and
five post cards of first Importance
adm the loss of human life a sec
ondary matter, but this would
doubtless be uncharitable, as it is
believed the department did not
view it in that light in making the
report.

The report of the physical ex-

when Colonel Stewart reported at
Fort Huachuca to take the riding

his physical condition or his
troubles.

Il do. l think that his life would

why is it then that Colonel
Stewart is so confident that he
could have stood the test and that
his life would not have been endan-

was in its origin harvest festival,
and so even today more than any

of the nature of day of thanksgiv-

the past year. 1t is essentially a
festival of rejoicing, as are in fact
