from The Carrier and Patron in order
fer the people living Gu The rural
free delivery routes from the Game.
willie postonice may more fully appre'

enl OF making Il more beneficial 70
themselves a. we'll as the genera,
government:
The Government expends nearly
$500 TO maintain your rural route.
This is all that IL required OF patrons
to whom this service is given:
The proper erection OF an approved
mail box: sufficient patronage to en-
able the carrier to count 5000 pieces
per month.
You. the patron. can do some things
that will vastly improve the route
and cost you nothing.
IS, = that your box is erected breast
high. measuring from the buggy track.
This j. the most convenient height
for the carrier TO serve.
Let the box be kept in good con-
dition, slightly and waterproof. Bad
boxes are eyesores on a route. They
are hard to serve.
Use the lock as little as possible.
Boxes are seldom molested. for Uncle
Sam Furnishes severely those who mo-
lest mail boxes in any way. Time
is an object with the carrier and the
quicker he serves your box the bet.
ter schedule he can maintain.
Place a box In the mail box 10
hold pennies and save carrier time
A snufi box or potted meat box viii
do. This will be a great favor.
When possible keep stamps on
hand. Pennies are a nuisance. Have
your letters stamped when the carrier
arrives. Better still, buy stamped en-
yelopes with the return card. They
are cheaper, better and safer. No LOST
letters when you use return card
stamped envelopes.
Register important mail matter
Get money order applications from
the carrier. keep few on hand
Meet him with the application filled
out when you send on money. Cost
of order is printed ON back OF appl!
cation
III there Is a bad place in the road
near your box, please take little time
and fix IL. II will help lot and your
nelghbors will see what YOU do aud
do IL. TOO. Then We viii all be helped
the carrier particularly. The better
the road the better the service.
The service must be built up and
the patronage steadily increased. Do
your part by subscribing to more good
papers The carrier will advise you
as to how to order and where TO get
the best for the least money. He
keeps advised and will be glad TO as
sist YOU. Call on him.

If men would only masticate their
food as thoroughly as they do their
tobacco, there would be less work
for the doctors.
When man makes a success OF
anything, the conceit of other men
is so great that they think they can
do just as well.
One good thing about living in a
little town: When the hearse goes
along the street every body knows
who is in the coffin.
Even when man prays to be de-
livered from temptation, he is telling
himself that it isn't going to hurt
him to take look at it.
A young girl often apologies for
her family to young man, but
after she has married him, she will

do not believe themselves, is one OF
the wonders of our civilization"
The good examples of other men
are of undoubted value to the world,
but remember no two men are alike.
You are wasting time if you try to
be exactly like some other man, no
matter how great or worthy. Simply
do your best in your own way, If
you really wish to make the most OF
life.
Don't imagine that you are not
appreciated merely because you are
criticised. People are really quite
appreciative. The trouble. is that
there is so much in most of us that
is subject to criticism, and we can't
see it. Look yourself over, and see
if you don't get about what is COM
ing to YOU.

THREW AWAY
GOOD CHANCE

In allowing the appointment OF
Democratic supervisors OF the census
in the southern States. President
Taft has. according o the political
prophets in Washington. thrown
away an excellent chance to further
strengthen the Republican machine
n the South.
The Pres dent. said one of the
wiseacres recently, evidently prefers
excellent service in taking the census,
rather than political advantage
These appointments could have been
used to great advantage in securing
Taft delegates to the next national
convent on, but the President referr-
I'd 10 throw away the advantage
The President has told Director Of
Census Durand that the best man II
the South must he selected, "irre-
spectiye OF politics" or the $50 su.
pervlsors. the South gets one for
every congressional di trict. excepi
n cities containing more than one
congressional district In such cities
only one supervisor s named.
In connection with the appoint
ment Of the census supervisors in tho
South, it is instructive to note thu

CAN YOU TAKE YOUR MEDICINE?
Determine to Succeed, and Eventually
You Will "Get There"

A man should start out in life with
a firm understanding with himself
that he is going to succeed; that he
has undertaken to do a certain thing,
and, no matter how long it takes, or
how difficult the process, he is going
to do it.
He should resolve at the very outset
that if he fails in anything he will
make the best possible use of his fail
ure, get the best possible lesson from
it; that he will make of it a stepping
stone instead of stumbling block
He should resolve that every setback
shall ultimately prove an advance.
There is everything in starting out
with an understanding with yourself
that there is nothing else for you but
the goal, that you are going to get
there sooner or later no matter what
stands in your way
If you are only half committed to
your proposition. however, if you are
so loosely attached to your vocation
that the least opposition will shake
you from it. you will never get any

Women Who Work Hard.

More than half CT the several hun
dred people taking the course at
Lowell institute under Harvard pro-
fessors, says a Boston paper, are wom-
en-, and these courses require an at
tendance three times a week And
wherever one goes the same thing is
true, only as a general thing the pro
portion of women in such classes
would be greater than one-half This
does not look as though women We're
wasting all their energies in the de
bauch of whist Many women play
whist and bridge, but it is generally
those who want mental occupation
that entails little solid brain work.
The majority of bridge players prefer
men partners, SO that one sex spends
as much time as the other over cards.

cRAzED BY RELIGIOUS MANIA.
Entire Family in Small Swiss Village
Becomes insane.

A strange case of a family suffer
ing from religious mania is reported
from the Swiss village of Oftringen
There are eight grown children in the
family and recently they were con-
verified by an itinerant preacher.
Thereupon the whole family began to
neglect their farm and domestic dl-
ties, and to spend the day and night
in prayer The cattle were neglected,
and would have been starved had
they not been fed by the neighbors.
One girl named Bertha declared that
she was the bride of Christ, and al
ways went about clad in garment of
white. Strange rites, too, were prac-
ticed. Once at midnight the whole
family, dressed in white clothes, as
sembled around wood pile altar in
field and burned white calf, mean
while dancing around the burning pile.
This was called "immolation" Then
Bertha expressed wish to be i'm
molated and it appears that an at
tempt was made to cruelty her. The
police, however, got to know of this
and arrived in time to prevent fur
Their mischief. Bertha was found i'll
in bed with nail wounds in her hands.
