All postmasters in the United
States have been instructed to visit
the schools of their respective towns
and ask the teachers to instruct the
school children as to the organization
and operation of the postal system.
The government wants the workings
of the system known to every child,
hoping that education along that line
will have tendency to lessen errors
in the years to come. The idea is to
cover such features of the service as
the delivery of the mails, the classi
fication of mail matter, the registry
and money order systems, and par
ticularly the proper addressing of let
tiers and the Importance of placing
return cards on envelopes.

BARNEY GILMORE. .

Careful critics have said Of Mr..
Barney Gilmore's popular dramatic
success, Kidnapped in New York, -
which will be seen at the Burt Thurs
day afternoon to close the week, that
they have seldom seen more per-
feet play in which the proper ac-
centuation has been given to the in
cidents and situations that go to
make 1t up. And while there is no
lack of sensationalism in the piece,
the ridiculous and altogether impos-
sible matters that are so often found
in such plays in this instance are
entirely absent.

More figures have been brought
forward by the census department to
show that divorces are increasing in
alarming numbers. and howl is
made for stricter divorce laws. But
the fault does not lie with the divorce
law but with the marriage regula-
ticns. AS it is the various states of
the union have various laws regulat
ing matrimony, and when couple
can't fill the requirements of the law
In one state they go to another and
get tied up. An example of state
leniency in such matters is Michigan
which seems to be the center for all
runaway marriages of Ohio, Illinois
Indiana and Pennsylvania, to say
nothing of the many from other
states.-North Baltimore Beacon.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER II, 1908.
BOOST YOUR TOWN.

If you have made up your mind to
live in town, then stand up for it,,
and if you know positively no good
of it, then silence is golden.
Do all you can to help along every
man who is engaged in legitimate
business.
Do not send away for everything
you want and still expect the home
man to keep a stock to suit the whim
OF one or two customers.
The success of your fellow-towns-
man will be your success. No man
liveth to himself alone, and no man
does business independently of his
fellow business men.
Take your home paper. Do not
imagine the big dailies fill up all this
space. There are many little crevic.
es of a good cheer. social sun shine,
personal mention, in the home paper
that the big dailies do not print.
Then do not abuse your neighbor.
The main difference in the number of
his faults and your own, is that you
see through magnifying glass as a
critic.
One croaker can do a town more
harm in minute than two good citi-
zens can repair in a month.

The Medical Fee.

The American Medical association,
our highest medical authority, has
never attempted to establish an eth
ical fee. In point of fact, the fee
evolves itself and ever has been and
ever will be graded one. The great
bulk of practice is practically charity
that is, it represents small fees or
no fees. This is true alike in the re-
mote country districts and in the
great metropolitan centers. There is
one difference, however, which should
be distinctly remembers and that is
that rural charity is generally de-
served, whereas urban charity is often
misplaced. 1t is stated that practical
ly 33 per cent. of the entire practice
of New York city is charity, and that
In third of such cases the doctor is
imposed upon-North American Re-
view.

Toledo Theatres
Attractions at Valentine Theatre, To
ledo, Week of December
Fourteenth.

On Wednesday, December 10th, the
Valentine theatre will offer one of
the greatest triumphs of the past
season, w. H. Crane in Father and
the Boys" This piece is from the
pen of George Ade and marks dis
tinct advance in his work. 1t has
been characterized by the Chicago
critics as a splendid American play
possessing coherent story with a
strong dramatic plot and constant
play of humor which is irresistible.
w. H. Crane appears in a role por-
traying the modern business man
who retains sense of proportion and
quick insight into the humorous as
pect of things. He sets out to show
his two sons the foolishness of their
indolent and extravagant ways and
the result is, it is assured, story of
much interest as we'll as of unflag-
ging humor Mr.. Cranes delineation
has been characterized as one of such
merit as the public will demand that
he retain it in his repertoire for the
rest of his stage days. This perform
ance is one which no theatre goer
should fail to witness.

The time of year is approaching
when persons who wear spectacles
out of doors will be troubled with
the lenses steaming upon entering a
heated room. This can be prevented
by rubbing the glasses thoroughly
on both sides with little vasaline
or cold cream, then rub with tissue
paper or cloth to clear the glasses.
Glasses treated this way will not
cloud or steam in the coolest wealth
er for "a hours. This treatment of
the glasses should be made once a
day for outside use.

Farmers throughout the country,
who are planting locust trees declare
there is no more profitable way of
utilizing cheap land. They figure it
this way: Two thousand four hun
dred trees can be planted to an acre.
In eight years the trees will be large
enough to cut for fence posts, and
each tree will yield two posts. At
retail, these posts will be worth 25
cents each or so cents a tree. That
means at retail a crop worth $1,000
an acre at the end of eight years,
or an average of $3.50 an acre a
year.

Happy Johnny Hicks, square
young gambler, has been spending a
night in Boston with his pals, Laurie
Farnham and Tom Cunningham, two
rich mems sons. In fight with some
card sharks Cunningham hits a man
over the head with a wine bottle, and
fearing the consequences the trio
make their escape before the police
arrive. Hoping to find hiding place,
and also to take a needed rest, they
find their way to a sanitarium in the
Virginia mountains. Cunningham
meets his sweetheart there, and Hicks
falls in love with the pretty head
nurse, Molly Kelley, who proves to
be a sister of the man injured by
Cunningham in the escapade in Bos-
ton. This interesting situation is en-
hanced and developed. The singing
and dancing numbers manifest the
genius of Ned Wayburn for such
things and there is not a chorus fea-
ture in the show that is not new and
original.

a life was saved at the depot last
evening shortly after o'clock when
Frank Maynard, a bell boy at the
Yakima hotel. pulled a man from un-
der the wheels of a moving train, says

action which alone prevented fatal
accident, young Maynard is looked
upon by those who know of his deed
as hero, and while he is much
pleased to have been of such signal
service to anyone, he looks upon the
whole matter in a modest manner.
Frank had been sent Gown to the
depot by the clerk at the hotel and
while he was waiting for the train to
pull out an elderly gentleman, whose
name was not learned, came along to
mail a letter on the train The cars
had begun to move and this gentle
man hurried up to the side of the
train. As he was reaching up to drop
the letter in the slot his foot slipped
and he stumbled and fell directly be-
meath the car and between the wheels.

There was a real one in Pendletor
this afternoon-but only for few
minutes,
1t didn't come through the air,
sweeping in graceful circles like a
bird and casting terror or amazement
into the hearts of those who might
have seen it high above the highest
hills which surround the city.
Indeed it didn't. In the first place
it wasn't high above the hills. There
was no opportunity for thrills or ro-
nance in its appearance.
In fact it could not have presented
a more prosaic view than when. with
the framework carefully Grated and
packed and the big balloon envelope
roped into big bales it was transfer

Dlsmlssing the jury which for the
past three weeks has been engaged
in threshing out questions Of fact in
the district court Judge Bean this
morning sent the jurymen back to
their farms to remain unless 1t be-
! comes necessary to summon them to
try out liquor or other criminal cases.
It is not considered likely that this
will be necessary, as 1t is generally be-
lieved that jury trial will not be ne
cessary in the other liquor cases as
convictions 50 promptly followed in
those which have been tried out.
1t is intlmated, however, that unless
pleas of guilty are forthcoming on the
other counts from each of the par
ties 50 far convicted by trial that
second trial upon another charge will
follow. AS stated in the East Orego-
nian Saturday, some of the minor
cases will probably go over to the
next term of court.

John Behrenson the saloon swamp
er from Weston who was convicted of
attempted criminal assault upon

tests his innocence, but his testimony
during the trial showed that the man
had actually no memory of the trans
actions Of that day. He was supposed
to have been drunk at the time the !
crime was attempted
