SCOTT FERRIS WANTS
POSTMASTERS ELECTED

A new idea has been launched in
Washington by Representative Scott
Ferris OF the Fifth congressional dis
trict OF Oklahoma II is that the
postmasters should be elected by the
people. He IS framing bill that will
provide that both members Of the
United States supreme court and
pcstmasters shall be chosen by pop
uiar vote He has another novel
idea that is being framed into a bill.
II is that the government should es-
tablish and maintain a fund similar
to the reclamation fund for construct
ing and improving highways. Two
other measures of his provide for the
rT0hibition OF bucket shops and
gambling in agricultural products
and the removal OF Indian restric-
tions in Indian Territory.

AN OLD TIME BREAKFAST.
What One Visitor Was Treated to al
Washington's Home.

The diary of Manasse Cutler, The
founder of Ohio and the author Of tht
ordinance of 1851, gives an account oi
q visit he made TO Mount Vernon
two years after General Washingtons
death. We say General Washing.
ton, for that was what Mrs. Washing
ton was pleased TO call him--a copy fol
all those good women whose husbands
have won them honor on the field OF
war.
Mr.. Cutler says 1t was the desire OF
their party to arrive at Mount Vernon
In time for breakfast q o'clockl With
Mrs. Washington. but the bad roads
and worse horses detained them, sc
they did not reach there until about
TO- which Mrs, Washington regretted
but she said, Breakfast would be
ready In few minutes" The diary
goes on to say:
ain a short time she arose and desired
rs to walk into another room, where a
table was elegantly spread with ham,
cold corned beef, cold fowl. red her
ring and cold mutton, the dishes orna.
mented with sprigs Of parsley and
other vegetables from the garden. AT
the head of the table was the tea and
coffee equipage. where she seated her
self and sent the tea and coffee to the
company"
The point of interest is that break
fast menu-five kinds Of meat decked
with sprigs Of parsley and accompa-
MED with divers vegetables. Isn't
there an appetizing array and doesn't
the heart long for just such scene?
OF course the mere feeders, the fel-
lows that banker for hot things, may
not think so, but the very mention Of
cold ham, cold chicken, cold mutton
and cold corned beef all in the same
breath is an appeal to conscientious
appetite that is unresisting And that
was breakfast of the long ago.

Sunday Travellers and Inns and Tav-

There Is a law In Scotland generous
to travellers That law grants them
the privilege Of all taverns and inns
during prohibition hours. Thus IL you

merciful. He that hath journeyed
three miles is a traveller within the
meaning of the act.
Consequently there is vast array OF
travellers leaving Edinburgh on foot,
on coaches, pony carriages, ETC., for
