STAMPS
AHEAD OF need
ESTIMATE BASED ON COUNT
MADE IN NEW YORK STATE
SHOWS THAT sOo,oOoOoo PEN
MES ARE COLLECTED EACH
WEEK BY RURAL CARRIERS.

II an estimate based on an actual
count made in the east is correct, rural
letter carriers collect 100000 pen
MES each week. In the cold winter
weather more than one coin, picked up
by the cold-numoed fingers, IL dropped
in the snow and never recovered. Re-
lating to this subject the fourth as
sistant postmaster general says in
part I'm addressing pogtmasters:.
From recent court made by rural
carriers in one OF the counties in the
state OF New York. Of coins deposited
BY patrons in their boxes for the pur-
chase Of stamp supplies. IL was found
that each carrier IN the county was
collecting an average Of lis 1-cent
coins each week This average ap-
piled 10 all the routes in operation
through the country would give the
enormous average in total Of about
300,00O.0O0 1-cent coins.
"As most OF these coins are depos-
tied loose in boxes, II is desirable that
you and the rural carriers, in a Gact-
full and polite way. put forth your
best efforts TO induce the patrons to
provide themselves with stamp sup
plies in advance Of their needs. and
to equip their boxes with suitable
coin-holdtng receptacles. 1t should be
explained TO patrons that the picking
OF loose coins from the boxes not
only results in needless hardship and
suffering to carriers in winter weather,
delays the delivery and collection OF
mails, but frequently results in actual
money loss to the carriers, for If, N
collecting coins from boxes they drop
them In the snow or on the ground
without recovery, they are forced to
replace them out OF their own funds. I"

LEFT HIS HOME TO
SEE XMAS Windows
GRAND DISPLAY or TOYS AND
XMAS THINGS ATTRACTED
LITTLE WILLIE BRIGGS - HIS
MOTHER HUNTED TILL Md
NIGHT IN FRANTIC SEARCH.

Attracted by the glare Of the cleo
trio lights and the splendOr Of the i'm
mense display Of Christmas toys in
Fargo's retail shop windows, that have
been the paradise Of more than one
little chap during the past few weeks.
little Willie Briggs, 4 years old, son
Of a widow who resides on Second
avenue south across from the court
house, left home last evening and not
until midnight was he again located.
II happens that Master Briggs knows
that the number Of toys he viii re-
ceive this year is limited and taking
the matter DhilosophicaIly he has de-
cided TO see everything that Is pos
sible.
He stated last night that he lust
loved TO look I'm the display windows
and see all the things that have been
provided to make little folks happy.
OF course he likes some better than
others, but then he likes them all 3
very great deal. For hours he has
tramped around in front OF the elegant
displays and time and again wished
that he too might have just a few Of
the things that he saw.
Last evening while his mother was
at church he slipped on his cap and
"ducked" without saying where he
was going. When mother arrived home
Willie was not there. A search was
started, the police notified but to no
avail 1t was not until midnight that
he was found in the lobby Of the
Waldorf hotel warming his hands and
feet and not worrying about the rest
or the world at least.

SOUTH SALEM MANS
REPLY TO MRS. kELllHER

Ed. Journal: In her despair of
securing a site for the proposed city
library, Mrs. G. l.. Bristol Kelliher.
president of the Salem Public Library
Association, gives the people Of Sa-
lem a rather undeserved roast, and in
a final burst of despair says: IF
property is put up beyond our reach
we may have to go to South Salem"
Not knowing the inner thought of the
president of the Salem Library AS
sociation, we may be permitted to
say that even in Sonth Salem proper
~ has some value, and not many peo-
pie are giving It away. South Sa-
lem will probably go as far as any
part of the city in furnishing a free
site for a city library, and It might
be worse located than in South Salem
The whole free public library move
ment started in South Salem, where
the people donated several hundred
volumes TO the Lincoln public school,
before Mrs. Kelliher had arrived in
the city. The lady has done splendid
work in establishing a free library in
this city, but modesty might suggest
that her failure to find site may be
due to her own way OF going at Il.
Mrs. Kelliher has been dealt with
very literally by the people OF Salem
Coming here a stranger, she was put
In charge of the library work, on her
own terms. She has been given what
ever she asked for by the city coun-
ell. That a library site has not been
secured for her board Is not the fault
of any citizen or of the whole COM
nNnity. IL may occur to some per-
sons that they are not the right per-
son TO accomplish important mat
tiers, but II never occurs TO others.
They are so cock-sure OF all they do
being Just exactly right and wise that
they never doubt but that every 9TH
er person ought TO fall in with their
way of thinking and doing. The
world is full of people who get into
all kinds OF positions which they are
not fitted for. They are the last to
discover the mistake, and never
thank anyone TO tell them about &C. lt
Is to be regretted that Mrs Kelllher
Is so displeased with our people and
our city. but some of the blame can
probably be placed where she would
be the last TO place &C. This gratu-
tous reference TO South Salem is not
appreciated probably as much as Il
ought to be.
Mrs. Kelliher's threat that she will
leave Salem will have TO be borne. as
best IL can, and people in that part OF
the city where she has resided will
have to stand Il the best way they
can. We have never had the benefit
OF her society much In South Salem,
or We would miss her more than we
shall, but as we are not society peo>
pie, and have nothing TO lose, Il will
not come so hard on the inhabitants
OF Sleepy Hollow as II will on those
OF Piety Hill.
