Queerlaw in Pos, Office


twill probably be matter of news
to most OF the patrons of the local post
office to know that the clerks and the
postmaster are not compelled to make
change for patrons when they max pur-
chase at Uncle Sans office. This is a
queer rule that one in thousand per-
sons knows. Buyers of stamps or any
purchases at a postoffice must furnish
their own change if he sees fit to do it,;
but usually the postmaster is glad
enough to get rid of his chicken feed"
and he is always ready and willing to
accommodate the public by furnishing
all the change it asks for. If man has
a dollars and wants to buy only fifty
cents worth of stamps, he, if the post
master did not care to make the change,
would be compelled to either change the
dollar, or get dollars worth of stamps,
or he could do without. This is the law
and a~queer one to most of us. Again
clerks or postmasters are not required
to take more than twenty-five pennies
at one time if they do not want them,

funeral of Mrs. Reinfeldt Sunday after.
noon. The services were conducted by
Rev. George 81. Greenfield, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, assisted by
the choir. The services consisted of the
usual Scripture lessons and beautiful
tribute to the life and character of the
deceased by the pastor and the singing
of appropriate hymns by the choir.
Numerous floral tributes spoke elo-
quently of the esteem in which Mrs.
Reinfeldt was held in this community.
These beautiful tributes of love spoke
of the life beyond the grave.

Kisses in Kansas.

Very romantic news is this that
percolates in from the fields of Kan
sas, where the wheat crop is so great
that it has made the ground sink
down two feet to- sustain it. Hiram
Skipworth, father of three beautiful
daughters, is reported to have secured
all the harvest hands he needed by
the simple expedient of paying them
two dollars day and permitting each
man to kiss each of his daughters
once daily. Those who did not want
the kisses could have three dollars
day, but it is pleasant to add that no
body drew more than two dollars per
diem.
However, old Late Plummer, who
lives about five miles down the big
road from Skipworth, got all the har-
vest hands he needed, also. Late has
but on daughter; she is 40 years old.
angular, freckled and has an uncer-
tainty in one eye, besides that her
nose is insistant and her chin is shy.
Late took the overflow from Skip
worth's farm, and after Turing the
sturdy harvesters to his field he would
introduce his daughter and tell the af-
frighted laborers that unless they
pitched in and worked their best he
would let her kiss them. Mr.. Plum
mer's fields were harvested in half
the time that was required for Skip
worth's.

Cuba,s Grievances Stated.

The Cuban Opinion, fortnightly review.
devoted to Cuban affairs. has made its initial
appearance at Havana. While 1T disclaims
feeling of hostility toward the government at
Washington and expresses willingness to
draw closer the ties of friendship and cor
diality between the great American nation and
the young Republic of Cuba" yet the tenor OF
its contents is skeptical as to the good faith
Of the American people and its tone is any
thing but friendly. 1t declares purpose to
defend the national status, the material inter-
ests and the good name of the Cuban people,
a laudable undertaking in itself, yet it charges
that there sis a disposition in the United
States to look down upon the Cubans as an
inferior and degenerate racial product from
which nothing worthy or enduring is to be
expected" 1t also says that cit is this spirit
which constantly NEEDLES with our internal
affairs and attempts to dictate to our govern
ment; in short. which really considers Cuba
as in reality nothing but an American colony,
without any rights of her own, temporarily and
somewhat nominally in possession Of a race
unfit to survive. and In time to be supplanted
by Anglo Americans with their nl-concealed
hauteur and their unitarian civiliza ton.
The Opinion admits. however, that series
OF unfortunate circumstances has given the
United States an intervention in local affairs
quite out OF proportion to the moral influence

sional administration of the United States in
Cuba, which has left behind it a train of sad
and shameful recollections."
The official acts of Provisional Governor
Magoon, the Cuban paper claims are open to
swift censure. It is alleged that his admins
tration was ready to squander the resources
of the Cuban treasury and that the award of
100000 to the government at Madrid only
three days before his provisional governorship
expired is one of many transactions of Pc
culiar and dubious nature" Among other
false seports the Opinion charges that there
has been a malicious effort in the United
States to cast discredit the Cuban govern
ment in alleging the prevalence of yellow fe-
yer, when in fact, the fever was driven out
in 1901 and the island was kept clean till Oc-
tober, 1906 when it was re-introduced from
New Orleans in spite of the precautions Of
Cuban quarantine officials.
The Opinion shows that there is $141, 000,-
900 of American capital invested in Cuba
in railways, sugar and tobacco industries real
estate, plantations, banks. navigation compa-
MES mortgages, ETC.. while the English invest
ments total 500, 100000, of which all but
$4,000, 900 is in railways. 1t adds
"The late provisional administration of the
United States in Cuba made itself famous for
the large number of contracts of all sorts into
which it entered, especially with American
contractors, for the construction Of high
roads, bridges, aqueducts and other public i'm
provements Many of these contracts were
made in the most informal, not to say inn
moral manner and give rise to much scandal
and to the complete discredit of the provi-
sfonal administration. They cost the Cuban
treasury vast sums and il is the general i'm
preston that in many cases the execution OF
the work has been very deficient
