The demand for . stage line be-
Leadville as voiced through these col
umns last week has met with an al
most immediate response and the line
is to be started at once, although a
schedule service will not be main
tanned until the first of the year.
This morning Justice of the Peace
Morris Buttner Of Pirtleville called
at the ernational-American office
and stated that ne had decided to be
the first in the field and establish q
once a stage hne to run betwee1
Douglas, Courtland, Leadviile and
Gleason, making trips at the present
time as often as there were two or
more passengers TO make the journey
and after the first of the year to make
thrice a week journeys each way.
Mr. Buttner states during this
month his official duties preclude me
possibility of such a frequent sched.
ule but that he can arrange to make
the journey as often as his services
and will start in with the new service
Immediately.

national-American reporter that as
soon as he saw the article in this
paper showing the need of such a line
between here and the new camps he
decided to start his line, although he.
had been considering the feasibility
of such a move even before that time,
as he saw the signs of the stability
of the camps in the readiness which

The stubbornzess of the donor of the
$3.50 pair of mules which We're offered
at the recent irrigation congress here
for the best collective exhibit of wheat

causing the board of control of the

Maude ever produced in the comic

A Maricopa county farmer read of
the offer in the prize lists. He just
needed such a pair of mules to COM

Little Reason, Hig Fuss.
Robert G, Ingersoll used to relate
an anecdote of a Hebrew who went
into restaurant to get his dinner.
The devil of temptation whispered in
his ear. Bacon" He knew that if
there was anything that made Jehovah
real white mad it was to see anybody
eating bacon but he thought, Maybe
he is too busy watching sparrows and
counting hairs to notice me-" and so
he took a slice. The wtAther was de-
lightful when he went into the res
taurant, but when he came out the sky
was overcast, the lightning leaped
from cloud to cloud, the earth trem-
bled, and it was dark. He went back
into the restaurant, trembling with
fear, and, leaning over the counter,
said to the clerk. did you ever hear
such fuss about a little piece of
bacon?"

SCRATCHING FOR SAFETY.

An Instance of Finding Fun In the
Midst of Disaster.
The laugh often comes in the very

ical An instance of finding fun in the
midst of disaster is told by Captain L.
C. Morton in the Southern Historical
Papers" The Confederate picket line
was stationed on a sandy bottom near
a creek.
John Ford, one of the men ON duty,
was very plucky. He was seated near
Eeen by all his company. Suddenly a
large mortar shell fell, unexploded, in
the sand about four feet from him,
the fuse smoking and sputtering.
John took in the situation at a
glance. He argued to himself that the
shell would burst before he could get
up and run away, so that the safest
thing he could do would be to get into
the ground as fast as possible. With
the utmost rapidity he began to work
down into the sand with hands, feet
and head. The men watched the pro-
ceedings, shouting:
Scratch, John, scratch! She's going
OFF,
1t was an exciting spectacle. Never
was a man more in earnest. The sand
all about was in commotion, and In the
few seconds the fiZzing fuse gave him
John burrowed like a great gopher till
nothing but the hump of his back was
visible as the loose sand settled above
him.
The explosion came with a tremen-
dous jar. which shook the ground and
sent hundreds of pieces of iron singing
through the air Every one held his
breath, expecting to see poor John
blown into atoms. When the smoke
and dust blew away, it was seen that
Ford's head was still on his shoulders.
He looked cautiously up and, seeing all
was right. sang out hearty "Who-
eeh!' as cheerily as if he had freed a
coon instead of having been face to
face with death. A cheer and a laugh
ran all along the line.

A Cause For Inks.

A camp me hg was in progress in
the wire grass region of Georgia. The

Uncle Nose Bradford, an exhorter of
deep piety, but innocent of book learn,

After talking about fifteen minutes
on the beauty of contentment from
Christians point of view, he announced
that he was going to throw the meet
ing open" His invitation was, 'If
you've got anything to be thankful for
git up and say So"
One after another rose and spoke of
peace and contentment under circum-
stances that seemed impossible, judged
from a worldly standpoint. Some said
they were thankful for things they had
missed, and at last an old lady arose,
pushed back her sunbonnet, and with
a beaming countenance triumphantly
exclaimed. "Well, Brother Nose, |

IN THE DAYS OF "a.
The asst Christmas of the Southern
Confederacy.

The last Christmas of the Southern
Confederacy.
"We had some memorable Christmas
days in the south during the war;"
said Mrs. Zebulon B. Vance, wife of
the late United States senator from
North Carolina. 'That of 1861 was
different from any that had preceded
1t because we were in arms against the
Federal government, and many of the
male guests at southern homes that
day wore Confederate uniforms. Much
of the talk at the Christmas dinner
table was of sieges and battles and
marches. but we were all full of hope
and confidence.
christmas, 1862, found us but poor
ly prepared to celebrate it. Our sup
plies were few, and Confederate money
was at heavy discount. Then came
the bitter year Of 1868, with the fall of
Vicksburg and the defeat at Gettys-
burg. With sad faces, harmonizing
well with their dresses of coarse black
stuff, the women of the south devoted
themselves to picking lint and spinning
and weaving for husbands, fathers,
brothers and sweethearts in the field.

NEW RURAL ROUTE RULING.
Post Office Department Lays Down
 Law for Carriers.

Washington, May 13.-Information has reached the post office department that a merchant recently sent out by rural carrier one pair of shoes, and on top of the shoe box placed a package of salt, the latter being added to make the package overweight to avoid the payment of postage so that the carrier might carry the package for hire.
 In this connection Assistant Post master General De Graw says: All packages of merchandise to be sent out by rural carriers by merchants of the town should be presented at post offices for inspection, and in case it is found that extraneous matter not ordered by the patrons has been added to any mailable matter, for the pur- pose of making such package of mat ter unmailable. postmasters should re- fuse to permit the carrier to carry any such matter or package for hire out side of the mails. and rural carriers should not receive any mall matter from patrons as unmailable matter for hire which they suspect has been made unmailable by such devices as adopted by the merchant referred to-
