Mas,sn In EnrIand-,

In the seventeenth century, when
Englishwomen were still recognized as
possessing an economic ard political
status side by side with Epgiisllmen.
there was written an interesting entry
in the church warden's- accounts of st.
Martin's-in-the- Fields, proving. that one
Elizabeth Bartlett was Entrusted with
the casting of the second bell and that
all the women employed thus were
paid at the same rate as men for tn
same work. Another instance is TO b.
found in the records of the Fleet rris
on, of which the first female Warden,
appointed in 12tT on the death of her
husband Robert, received the same sal
airy "as the said Robert had been ac-
customed to during his life", There
was no talk then of combining the We.
mans sphere to work that was paid
badly.

CHICKEN THIEVES AGAIN.


Monday nigh after midnight, chick
en- thieves made away with eight or
ten fancy fowls belonging to p. w.
Williams. The chickens were valu-
able and were very tame, making it
possible for the sniek thief to bag
his booty without disturbance from
the fowls.
Occurrences of petty thieving are
becoming too frequent about town
and throughout the county, and it Is
probable that arrests and fines Will
be made unless the practice is dis
continued.

NEW POSTAGE STAMP is READY


In announcing. that the new 10
cent special delivery stamp. which
was placed on sale Monday. the post
office department calls special at
tention to its opposition to discon-
tinuing the use of that stamp.
This is despite the authorized
practice of affixing 10 cents worth
of stamps of any denomination with
the words, special delivery" writ
ten or printed on the envelope, in
addition to the ordinary postage on
mail matter.
While the practice is designed as
convenience where it is impossible
to obtain special delivery stamp,
the stamp is advantageous to pos
tai employees in insuring their in
slant recognition of that class OF
mail matter.
