POLICE WOMEN IN THE WEST
Cities of Portland and Seattle Are Said to Have Found the Inno-
 vation Satisfactory.

The cities of the west are never afraid of innovations, says the St. Paul Dispatch. This Is one explana- tion of the existence of police women in Portland and Seattle. The other ex- planation must be found in the fact that these cities have discovered that police women are needed in the busi. ing problems of order In the large cities. The old theory that men are the criminals and must be policed by men is giving way before the fact that there do appear from time to time women criminals, and especially be- before crime fixes them permanently in it's possession.
 In Portland there is woman on the police force who has done efficient work in connection with the Young Women's Christian association - an. other vital factor in large towns in the ordering of the city. She had also accomplished much as probation off cer. Having served her term in these, the woman was ready when Portland decided that it required a police wom- an. She is a regular member of the department, with the same recogni- tion shown to men. In Seattle there is also a police woman, although her appointment is temporary-during the Alaska Yukon exposition. In all prob. ability, however, Seattle will find this one police woman of such value that she will be retained.

TAKES IN CIRcUITOUS ROUTES
Letter Journeys Long Distance to Reach Destination Ten Feet
 from the Starting Point.

One of the most remarkable mail routes in the world is that in which a letter journeys in going from Beebe Plain, Vt, to Beebe Plain, Quebec, Canada While the two offices are within ten feet of each other-are To- cated in the same room, In fact-a let ter mailed from one office to the other must make a trip of 294 miles-67 miles in Canada and the remainder in the United States.
 The plain, old-fashioned store build ing which is situated on the interna- tional boundary line contains both the United States and the Canadian offices. There are separate entrances to each, but both are in the same room, have the same lobby and there are no partitions to mark the division between the domain of Uncle Sam and the possession of King Edward. If you mail letter from the Yer mont side addressed to the Quebec side" says the postmaster, it goes from here to the junction, then to New port, then to White River Junction, and back to Lennoxville, Quebec, over the Boston and Maine There it Is transferred to the Grand Trunk and goes to a south-bound mail pouch and comes to Stanstead Junction and then back to this same building, a distance of 294 miles.
 If we wish to mail a letter from the American side to Derby Line it must go to White River Junction and then come back over the official route"

HE WAS TAKING NO CHANCES
Coed Reason for Man Sinking Home in the Dark and Avoiding
 Acquaintances.

In the small hours of the morning a man, carrying a heavy suitcase. hur' ried down the deserted streets of the sleeping city. His hurried footsteps, despite all caution, echoed in the quiet thoroughfare. He shifted the weight of the suitcase from one arm to the other; he appeared nervous and every sound caused him to start. His coat collar was turned up and his soft felt hat pulled well down over his watchful eyes.
 The man was sorely tempted to risk the owl-car, for he had far to go and his burden was heavy, but when the car came with it's load of boisterous men, singing and smoking, he dared not venture abroad. Instead he picked up the heavy suitcase and hurried down the darkest side of the street. Once he hurried by man who turned and gave him a searching look. He tried to walk on as though uninterest- ed, but his knees shook and his brow grew cold and damp, for he thought he recognized the man.
 In the shadow of an alley he stood for long time until two young men ended their late visit beneath an arc lamp and separated for the night. For an instant the street was empty, and hurrying across the street the man dis appeared in the shadow of the porch of handsome brown stone residence. A key grated softly in the lock, a door opened stealthily. and closed almost noiselessly.
 Safe at last muttered the man. us he dropped the suitcase and mop ped the cold sweat from his brow. But l thought I'd never make it; twice l ran almost into acquaintances Now I'll stay right indoors until these cussed sunburns heal before I venture out where all my friends can slap me on the back or pinch my arms and shoulders"

China Shows Advancement.

A curious superstition, prevalent for centuries in China, will no longer be officially recognized. The Picking astronomical board presented a memo rial to the prince regent recently, re- porting forthcoming eclipse of the moon and recommending the perform ance of the usual ceremonies. The memorial was rejected. On the oc- casion of eclipses of the sun or moon it has for centuries been customary in China for everybody. down to the meanest subject, to let of firecrack CTS and cause gongs to be beaten for frightening off the monster which is supposed to be swallowing the lumin ary, and for every mandarin holding office to burn candles and incense and prostrate himself before the darkening orb.

Indian Landmarks in Ohio Woods

In the vicinity of Defiance, O.. can be found trees that many would think freaks of nature. Such they are, but they are created by the hand of man.
 According to the stories of some of the old timers. these trees are much older than the present generation has any idea of. and at one time served as Indian guide posts. It Is said that in the early days, when the Maumee valley was one vast woods, the In dians bent these saplings to indicate certain paths. The trees. because of their deformity, grew slowly, and al though they are many years old. never attained the size of their brethren in the forests. Similar trees exist near Fort Wayne.

the questions Senator DeRossitt said

To Enforce 2-Cent Rate.

The introduction of a bill by Mr..
Winn of Pulaski, which, the author
claims, will make it possible for any
person in the state to bring suit
against any railroad or railroad rate
law in any court, was the chief event
of the day. His bill is as follows:
Section l. That section $500 of
Kirby's Digest of the Statutes of Ar
kansas be, and the same is hereby,
amended SO as to read as follows:
Section 1920. Any of the persons
or corporations mentioned in sections
6611, 66612, 66613 and 66614, or any
agent or employee of such person, or
corporation, or any agents or employees
of such persons or corporations, that
shall charge, demand, take or receive
from any person CT persons aforesaid
any greater compensation for the
transportation of passengers than is in
this act allowed, or prescribed, shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof shall be fined in
any sum not less than $1,000 nor
more than. $4,000
Sec. 2. That all laws and parts
of laws in conflict herewith are here
by repealed, and this act shall take
effect and be in force from and after
its passage"
The originl sections of the digest
provided for the enforcement of the
three-cent rate, but the amount was
reduced to two cents by amendment
in 1907. Mr.. VIM in his bill failed
to call attention to the sections as
amended and an amendment offered
by Mr.. Glover of Hot Springs, which
was accepted, was added to the bill.
The amendment provides for the in
sertion of the clause, "as amended
by the acts of 1907"
The bill was read twice and referred
