edge in his head, skill in his hands and
health in his body is his own letter of re-
ferences. Mix him up with 6O,0O0.OO0 of
others, and you will find him again, as he
will have a habit of being on top. Throw
him naked into a desert island and he
will be at the head of something. He
does not go whining over the land,
blaming fortune and says he has no
chance, but goes out and does something,
and goes out and does it again and better.
Men that can do things either with head
or hands are the men that are wanted.
and the demand is as great here and now
as 1t has been at any time since the be-
ginning.
IA successful guessing game for a
children's party played out of doors was
called a Seeing.the-Tow Trip" says a
writer in Woman's Home Companion for
April. "a large collection of local post
cards was pinned about the lawn on the
tree trunks and other places. The cards
were numbered, and of course the names
of the views cut of. The children were
furnished with pencils and paper and
told to travel around town and write
down what they saw. 1t was comical to
see how some of the most familiar scenes
puzzled them. The prizes were a post
card album for the most successful guess
or and a collection of cards for the one
who recognized the fewest number"
Rural letter carriers will come in for
a little extra compensation il a bill Intro
duced in Congress becomes a law. 1t
provides that $3.50 per snnum additional
be allowed for the purchase and mainte-
nance of necessary horses, wagon and
equipment. In the average country dis
tricts this ANAL allowance will be none
too much, for the wea: and tear upon a
carriers outfit as he travels over the
rough roads and in all kinds of weather
like the present, for instance lis very
great, and at the present meagre salary
he is lucky If he comes out at the end of
the year with his head above water, as it
we're. The rural delivery of mai has
come to be very popular with the country
people, and it has come to stay, we should
hope, hence the carriers should have an
adequate compensation, at least a living
one.
