Boys and the Fourth of July.-It is well
enough to think in time about a"sane Fourth"
but there is no use in hoping or desiring we
will have quiet one to satisfy those who have
forgotten their boyhood or have weak nerves.
The best that one can expect is not to abate all
noise, but make it less loud and dangerous.
The small boy must have his outing. He can
not be an old man. Fourth of July noise is
in his bones by the law of heredity, and to
make him old before his years would be turn
ing him into sort of mollycoddle.
After all it is the adult who makes the most
noise 1t is he who puts off the biggest crack
ers tries to play the most practical jokes and
blows up saloons and people outside and so
needs the most regulating. If he should con-
tent himself with beautiful fireworks and
patriotic speeches it would not be hard to man.
age the small boy and yet give him good day
at that.
Kansas City has done more than most cities
to regulate the use of explosives. 1t has abol.
ished by ordinance the use of all guns and
pistols whether loaded with filled or blank
cartridges has limited the size of firecrackers,
and has made it an offense to explode any
noise-makiug device in close proximity to
person, or to an animal attached to vehicle.
= Such regulations as these every city can

New Postoface Rulings.-Stringent orders
have been issued by the Postof6ce Department
to all postmasters not to divulge the names or
addresses of any patrons of the office. Here
tofore postoffices have been considered local
directories, bureaus of information and deposit
tories of all sorts of neighborly convenience
and gossop. If person wanted an address or
list of names it was understood that the post
master in duty was bound to supply this infor-
nation, together with the habits or character
and fitness of each individual who comes in
contact with the postmaster or his office. The
guardians Of Uncle Sans postal affairs are re-
quested to keep the affairs of the Office as In
violate as the business of bank.
A new order in the Postofics Department
went into effect recently and itshould be noted
by the people in general. By the terms of this
order a defaced stamp is hereafter worth
less Should corner be torn off, no matter
how small, or the stamp be mutilated in any
other way, it cannot be longer used. All let
tiers bearing such stamps will hereafter be held
at the local Office two weeks for recovery, and
at the end of such a period ifnot claimed, will
be sent to the Dead Letter Office.
Another phase of the order is also interest
ing. Permission is now given individuals to
perforate the stamp they use with a reasonably
small instrument for identification purpose.
Such step is intended to prevent the sending
of anonymous letters or the theft or mutilation
of private mail of any nature.

Mr.. Richardson Has Some New Style"
Turkeys.-Mr. Robert c. Richardson, mer.
chant, of Churchville, has recently developed
a species of turkey which may become more
valuable to him in the future than even his
fast horses. 1t is quite common to hatch tur-
KEY eggs under chicken hens, the serious OBJ
lection being that the four weeks period ofin-
cubation is an unnaturally long one for chick
en-, but Mr.. Richardson now has a dozen fine
turkeys Matched in two weeks.
Several weeks ago one of his clerks took in
thirteen turkey eggs in the course of daily trade
and when Mr.. Richardson heard of it later in
the day the eggs were taken home and placed
under hen instead of being sold to a city con-
sumner as freshly-laid eggs.
In two weeks time Mr.. Richardson found
himself in possession oftwelve healthy turkeys
which he prizes very highly. Starting at once,
as the thrifty merchant should, to advertise his
fowls, he soon learned that prominent farm
er not many miles away had his turkeys nest
robbed one night about two weeks before, after
she had been set two weeks. Although an in
nocent third party to that deal, he generously
offered to turn over his treasures to their posi-
BILE owner, but the offer was as generously
declined.
Suffice it to say that Mr.. Richardson now has
dozen turkeys which possess either the prop
erty of Matching after two weeks of incubation
or the still better quality of being exceptionally
fertile under very rough treatment.-BeIGir
