~
There is much dissatisfaction ex-
pressed in many Of the state papers
over the reported recent action of
the Postofflce Department in order
ing postmasters to. hereafter to pass
no letters that are stamped with
mutilated stamps, but to treat all
letters bearing stamps mutilated in
the slightest degree as they now
trea letters bearing no postage at
ali. According to this reported
order no stamp is to be recognized
unless it is absolutely whole and
intact, if the smallest bit be torn
from the corner the stamp is worth
less, completely. reversing the old
rule that torn stamp was good,
provided the major part Of the
stamp remained uninjured and not
marked or stained just as in the
case of paper currency-the bill
being redeemed if more than half
of it be left.
1t is argued by papers opposed to
the order that frequently the per
forations in a sheer of stamps are
defective and in the hasty prepar-
alton of a large mail the stamps
are often torn slightly in separating
them from the sheet, corner or
small strip Of the stamp being left
on the sheet. Sometimes, too. a
stamp may be tornin half SO that
the two pieces can be put together
on the envelope. 1t is also argued
hat there is no apparent reasons
for such rule, and the question is
asked how can the government be
injured or lose anything accepting
q stamp with small corner torn
off, and why should the public be
subjected to loss in accidentally
mutilating new stamps for which
the government has received the
money? The only reason Sug-
|geSted as the probable basis Of the
governments action IS that IN

Perpetual Youth.

The elixer of youth lies in the
mind or nowhere. You cannot be
young by appearing to be so, by
dressing youthfully. You must
first get rid of the last yestage Of
thought, of belief, that you are ag-
ing. AS long as that's in the mind
cosmetics and youthful dress will
amount to very little in changing
your appearance. The conviction
must first be changed; the thought
which has produced the aging con-
dition must be reversed.
II we can only establish the per-
petuai youth mental attitude, so
that we feel young, we have won
half the battle against old age. Be
sure of this, that whatever you feel
regarding your age will be express
ed in your body.
1t is great aid to the perpetual
ton of youth to learn ofeel young,
however long we may have lived,
because the body expresses the
habitual feeling, habitual thought.
Nothing in the world will make
US look young as long as we are
convinced that we are aging.
Nothing else more effectually re-
tards age than keeping in mind the
bright, cheerful, optimistic, hope
full, bouyant picture of youth in all
its splendor, magniflcence; the al
Turing picture of the glories which
belong to youth youthful dreams,
ideals, hopes and all the qualities
which belongs to young life.
One great trouble with US is that
in our imagination we age prema-
turely. The hard exacting con-
ditions of our strenuous life tend
to harden and dry up the brain
and nerve cells, and thus seriously
injure the power Of the imagination,
which should be kept fresh, bouy-
ant, elastic. Orison Sweet Marden,
in Success Magazine.

TAFT'S SPEECH IN ATLANTA.

Judge Taft has received SO
much attention, and has been
treated to that hospitality that is
to be found in the South only.
that ne is beginning to feel that
he will be entitled to the credit
OF breaking the South's loyalty
to the democratic party. He is
radically wrong in thinking that
that this section will ever lose
its solidity as long as the race
question is paramount to all 9TH
erS. =
He is right in saying that
should the south split up its cleo
toral vote; that it would receive
recognition politically it does not
now enjoy, and that commercial
ly it would be benefited, and
government appropriations would
be more generous.
He is wrong in the assumption
that political Office, and mere dol
lars and cents are Of enough i'm
portance to convert Southern
white men, to embrace republi-
canism with all that it would
mean. The pure white blood of
Dixie land will never surrender
white supremacy for the flesh
pots, nor lose their self respect
for office.
Ii the president-elect honestly
wishes to break the solid south
and will offer the inducement of
settling for all time to come, the
status of the two antagonistic
races of the south, as it should
be settled, with the black man
eliminated as a political factor.
then those who honestly believe
in republican policies will no
doubt go over to that party.
Judge Taft is a brainy man,
and free of the egotism so domi-
nant IN Roosevelt. and the people
will feel safer under his admin
istration than to not know what
tomorrow will bring forth, as has
been the fear under Teddy's.
His taffy to the South that he
came to this section to capture it
and that the South had captured
him. was a very nice hit at a
banquet, but all thinking people
know that the terms he offers is
embracing those things that he
demands with the same exact
ness that the Jew did the pound
of flesh.
His speech to the negroes
that the blacks themselves must
settle the race question, that the
white man was their
best friend, that industry and
thrift pointed out the true way
to their advancement, and to be
they must first be res
pectable'' was splendid advice.
which they will not follow, and
will never amount to anything as
long as the Northern fanatics
preach the doctrine they do. To
win the South, do what the South
exacts and should receive.

A writer describes scenes on
Japanese railways and says when
a native woman enters a carriage
she slips her feet from her tiny
shoes, stands upon the seat and
then sits demurely with her feet
doubled beneath her. A moment
later she lights cigarette or her
little pipe, which hold just tobacco
enough to produce two good whiffs
OF smoke. All Japanese people
sit with their feet upon the seat of
the carriage and not as we do.
When the ticket collector alfred

carriage he removes his cap and
bows twice politely. He repeats
the bow as he comes to each pas
