Things Have CHANGED.

Thirty years ago one of the
old-fashioned steel-wire spring
wagons was a luxury. In a fun
eral procession a mile long you
would see perhaps two or three
of them. Everybody rode in
farm wagons. Twenty years ago
q top buggy was a rich mans
good fortune and but few of
them were seen. Today a top
buggy with a rubber tire is as
common as a Democrat is in Tex
as. Anybody and everybody has
them. A farm wagon in fun
eral procession would be a novel
ty. The upper tens ride in auto
mobiles and they are fast get
ting to be common. A news
paper printed yesterday is stale
If a letter is twenty-four hours
travelling q thousand miles there
Is a kick coming. Ten dollars
don't last as long as 10 cents die
with our grandfathers. W.
spend more for socks and sus
penders than grandfather did To-
his Sunday clothes. and still W.
wonder what is the matter will
the world that il does not grint
out as many rich blessings as ]
did a century ago. = FIX.

GREATEST POSTAL DEFICIT.
Postmaster General Urges Parcels Post to Prevent Annual Losses.

Washington. Nov. l2.-P Postmaster- General Meyer announced to-day that the postal deficit for the fiscal year ended June aO 1908, amounted to $l6,9lO,279, The receipts were $751; 47S,6S3 (being $7,S93.657 greater than the preceding year), and the expendi- lures $2OS,S5l,SSG. The deficit is the largest in the history of the postotHce department
 The postnaster- general said that in his annual report he would call the attention of congress to the fact that he is firmly convinced that the es- tablishmcnt of q special local parcel post confined to rural routes would tend to wipe out the postal deficit"
