following notice, tai zen from the
Postmaster's Advocate. Mr.. Wahl

to the school children along these
lines.
When you address your letters
or cards with lead pencil see that
the address is plainly written.
Most letters lost are improperly
addressed. You had better use 9
pen and. ink.
When you address a letter see
that you spell the name OF the
town correctly. Many postofices
have similar names. Don't write
Gin, for Cincinnati, or Col. for
Columbus. y.
When you address a letter or
card leave room for the stamp and
postmark in the upper right hand
corner. Postmarks often blur your
address.
Do not put writing in newspa-
pers or packages. If you do the
matter becomes first class mail and
you must pay letter postage-two
cents an ounce, or you are liable to
fine of ten dollars.
Written or typewriter letters
placed in unsealed envelopes are
subiect,to the same rate of postage
as when sealed two cents an
ounce. i.,s Z
/. Postcards containing writing and
inclosed in transparent envelope,
whether sealed or unsealed, must
bear a two-cent stamp and the
I5stamp must be placed on the en-
yelope instead Of the card.
Send money by postoffice money

another order.
Send valuable papers or mer-
chandise by tirst-class registered
mail, for the postofhce department

dollars:
Patrons Of postoAices can get
better service by renting a box
which costs only twenty cents for
three months. If you have a box
the postmaster's work is frightened.
and your mail is not handled or
looked over like it is in the general

ment makes great conveniences for
you, SO do not hesitate to help in
return.
Postmasters are not allowed to
|sell postage stamps to be sent

merchandise or for payment of
other bills.
You should put your name and
| post office on the package, and if
not delivered it will be returned
to you, but you will have to repay
the postage, unless it is first class.
When you move to another post
Office notify the postmaster from
your former postofice to forward
your mail and notify the publishers
i Of your papers that you have
changed your postofice.
If you have q friend visiting you
have their mail sent in yonr1care.

Here is the remarkable story
+ + + + + I

Whenever there's show for
something sensational Nevada always
goes every other town just one better.
other places have their rains of frogs.
or fish, or snakes, or snails. They
are beneath Nevada's notice. They
are too common.
Thursday night it rained oucks in
Nevada. Not toy ducks, or tame
ducks; but real. full-grown live
ducks. mallards and black Jacks and
springs. At least 200 probably
more than that number were caught
or killed in the streets and yards of
citizens.
To say that those whose duties
called them to work at an early hour
were surprised to see wild ducks us
ing the cutters and mud-puddles of
the streets as lakes. expresses the sit
uation mildly. But the ducks We're
there, and nine men out of ten who
saw them at once began preparations
to have duck for Sunday dinner. Tar
get rifles. rocks and sticks We're used.
and there are one or two stories go
ing the rounds of foot races having
resulted in the capture of birds.
Bert Dickerson, who works at Rob
erts' grocery. almost lost his umbrel-
la by it's being struck by some kind
Of a heavy object. Looking around
he discovered that a duck had thrown
itself at him. He lost no time in cap
turing it. Later he caught another
one on the lawn of residence
John McAninch, who runs the
Lake Line car, says he saw dozens of
the birds swimming in the cutters
and puddles of water while he was
making his first trip. His son caught
one.
Mr.. Wilson, who works at the asy-
lum, caught four. The fire boys shot
two with target rife. One boy
whose name could not be learned
captured fourteen. The list might be
continued almost indefinitely. The
streets Were simply alive with ducks,
and II was no trouble to catch them
They made little effort to fly away
Quite a number of dead birds were
found and many were crippled: but
the most of them seemed to have been
uninjured.
How it all happened is matter
which is causing much discussion.
The birds were all very fat, and it is
the general belief that, as they flew
over Nevada, they became confused
by the electric light and circled about
them until they We're too exhausted
to maintain themselves longer in the
air. Those crippel and dead had evil
IDENTIFY struck wires. buildings or
trees.
The following dispatch might
throw some light on the subject:
Dawn, Mo-, Nov. 11.-During a
recent severe thunder storm a flock
of wild ducks was struck by light
