success and factor in the journals
tic field. This success came from
the only asset newspaper haS-ltS
patrons and friends-and to them we
extend our thanks for every effort
inaugurated in our behalf.
When the Globe was established
the general public was divided upon
the question as to whether or not
the paper would succeed. Even at
this late day, we thank those who
gave us their opinions The optimlS-
tic views served to parallel our path
of progress with encouragement and
good wishes, while those OF doubt
full nature made our procedure a
cautious one, whenever caution was
necessary.
Our successor, Mr.. c. A. Brans-

years experience and we predict
that he will give The Globe readers
an excellent paper. We wish him
we'll and commend him to all our
friends who have so literally assisted
in making the paper a success.
In closing, there is but one thought:
We are heartily thankful to every

SOME POST OFFICE RULES.

Writing the address in alleged
poetry or rhyme is all evidence of
feeble mindedneSS that should never
be displayed in public.
A postage stamp on the upper left
hand corner of an envelope means:
81 amnot real bright" in the eStima-
ton of postal employees.
The address at the top of the en-
velope on a line with the stamp in
dicateS that it is liable to be obliter-
ated by a canceling machine, and
the letter 90 to the Dead Letter office
for resurrection.
Stamp on the reverse side of the
envelope means that the letter may
be thrown aside in the rush of max
ing up a mail before the freak is
discovered, and delayed from one to
twenty-four hours as result of such
nonsense.
Writing in haste or similar in
scription upon a letter is a sign of
great danger. No doubt many SER
iouS wrecks have been occasioned by
fast running trains when the engineer
knew that such a letter was in the
mail car. Don't do it any more.
Some mail clerk may hurt himself
laughing at your Stiffness. Mail mat
ter is always sent by the quickes
possible route after being deposited
in the post Office, frequently goine
hundreds of miles around to gain :
few minutes over shorter drec
route on which connections are no
so good. Nothing but special de
livery stamp will hurry anything b.
mail, and that is only after it ha
reached the Office destination, wher
it will be especially delivered.

A CHANGE IN THE GLOBE MAN
AGEMENT.

On Monday of this week a deal
was conSummated which had been
pending for a number of days, where
by the undersigned became possessed
of the Globe Printing Co. plant,
with all appurtenances and good
will Through the energetic and
capable efforts of the young men who
started this paper it has been brought
through the vicissitudeS and pitfalls
which always attend an enterprise of
this kind at the beginning, and has
rounded out the first year of its
youthful career in exceptionally good
shape, thereby qualifying itself for
more extended field of usefulness in
the year that is now before US.
Through the loyal support accorded
it by the many friends who first en-
couraged its launching, and the
many new friends which it has won
by its modest efforts to please those
who are partial to clean local paper
without aspiration toward the metro
politan, it has gained an envisble
patronage both in advertising and
job work, while its subscription list
has grown at a marvellous rate which
is increasing with each succeeding
month. In view of these facts the
writer feels some difference in COM
ing before the Globe readers with
the stereotyped promises of great
Improvements to be wrought in a
marvelously brief period of time.
But having had some years expert
ence in the newspaper field, can
not believe the readers will hold it
immodeSt in me to say that believe
can make some Improvements in
the Globe in time, and to assure
them that my efforts shall be put
forth to that end. A number of inn
provementS are now being contem-
plated, with view to giving thu
Globe patrons better service thar
they have had. The paper is ar
established fact; it has come to stay
and its purpose shall be to make thu
citizens of Grangeville glad that
does stay. Politically the Globe will
be staunch (but it hopes not an un
r)advocate of Republican principles
and its columns will be open to an
good citizen in the defense of trutl
and the advocacy of justice and RICH
and for the improvement, advance
ment and upbuilding of our com
munity. 1t being the purpose t
make the Globe paper representa-
tive of the progress of this fast grow
ing community, by keeping it abrea
or little in advance of the time:
reasonable amount of patronage fror
the business men and general publ
will be fully appreciated and return
made in renewed effort for the gene
al veal of the community.
Most respectfully,
G. A. Branscomb,

Two 'Undred
PUN

Two 'undred pun and all in favor
Of the widow and said widow without
hincumbrances.
Bo'sun Joy spoke these words in an
audible voice, although there was no
one to hear him, he being the only
occupant of the snug taproom of the
Mariners Compass. Bo'sun JOY was
basldng before bright fire and glanc-
ing with appreciation at a steaming
glass Of gin and water on the table
at his elbow.
Mr.. Joy was one of the survivors
OF the Inflated bark Benefactor of
Sunderland, which, as was told of in
the newspapers and promulgated at
Lloyds, foundered in the South At
lantlc while on voyage to Callao.
The boat containing Mr.. JOY and the
second mate, with three of the crew,
was picked up by vessel. The other
boat, containing the skipper, chief
mate and seven of the crew, was miss.
ing and had evidently been lost.
The bo'sun's audible sollloquy had
reference to Mrs. Bent, wife OF the
chief mate of the Benefactor Mr..
Bent was evidently dead and Mrs.
Bent was uncontroyertlbly widow.
Mr.. Bents life was insured for
5000 in favor OF his wife and this
latter fact caused Mr.. Joy to speculate
on the advisability Of changing tho
mournful state of Mrs. Rent.
There's them as is 'ansomer as to
face and more hinticlng as to figser,"
continued Mr. Joy, to himself, but
two 'undred pun kind of eyens hit up.
I'll do It,"
He drank down his gin and water,
turned up the collar of his pea jacket
and sailed out into the crisp Decem-
Der wind that made the streets of
Grimsby bleak and deserted that even
ing.
A subdued light shone from the
windows of the Widows house, as
might befit the abode of grief, and
Mr.. Joy was meditating on the proper

The Amerlcan Voice.

think myself that what, as much
as anything else, laid the foundation
Of the American voice was the ner.
vous i'll health, lasting over three or
four generations, of the American
woman. Up to the middle of the nine-
teenth century, and even beyond, for
eigners were surprised when they
came across a healthy looking woman.
The isolation OF frontier life, the gen.
eral tension Of the American climate,
malaria, bad diet and worse santa,
tlon, combined to turn one-half the
nation into semi-invalids; and the
thin, sharp, sloyenly, staccato tones
of the American women were as often
as not the result of physical and ner-
vous depression. ! do not say that Ill
health was the sole cause, but it Is un.
doubtedly the fact that as the health
of Americans has improved so have
their yoices.-London Chronicle.

increased py oyernearing Mrs. Bent
ask Mr.. Thrifty to call soon and dis
close his secret. Both diplomats left
at the same time, and Mr.. Joy drank
many hot gins and waters before he
was sufficiently composed to retire.
He arose late the following morning
and was slipping strong portion of
spirits to prepare his stomach for
breakfast when the taproom door
opened and Mr.. Thrifty came In.
low are you, bo'sun?p said he, cor
daily.
Mr.. Joy responded with gruffness.
Hi suppose" said Mr.. Thrifty. In
an easy conversational tone, "that you
have some hidea Of courting the
widow Bent?"
Mr.. JOY replied by eagerly asking
what business that was OF Mr..
Thrifty.
Just this" retorted Mr.. Thrifty,
thunder ordinary conditions Hi would
say, has friend, Joy, give it hup, for
you've no chance at all has long as I'm
against you."
"Wot are you driyin' at?" demand
ed Mr., JOY.
''Hif Widow Bent marries hanybody
she'll marry me. She'll marry me to
know who the man was that her us
band wanted her to marry. And that
remark of her husband is as true as is
the slngin' of that 'ymn Of yours, Mr..
JOY"
Mr.. Joy reddened. 'Wot are you a
drivin' at?" he again demanded.

replied Mr.. Thrifty, "but somehow

Mr.. Joy swallowed his spirits and
his eyes cleaned.
"a pun and hits done," said he, and
he lay 20 shillings on the table.
Mr.. Thrifty dropped the money into
his pocket
Him doin' thing that Hill repent
of later on" he said, gloomily, 'but
hi alters was a rollln' stone. Good-by
and luck to you, JOY"
Mr. Joy ate his breakfast with a
good appetite and with a satisfied ex-
preston on his face. He felt that
6 200 was his.
With glass of gin and water handy
he picked up the Standard and began
to glance over the news.
"The ship Menelaus has arrived at
Valparaiso with Capt. Duckett, Chief
Mate Bent and seven of the crew Of
the bark Benefactor, lost at sea. They
will be sent home by the British con-
sui"
"IIif ever / meet Thrifty" Bo'sun

were tightly clenched and there was
a belligerent fame in his eyes.

words Of coincidence when he marked
another figure approaching the house
from up the street.
The light from Mrs. Bent's window,
while subdued, was sufficiently bright
to enable Mr.. JOY to recognize with
alarm and disgust the features of Mr..
Thrifty second mate of the Bene-
factor.
The greetings between the gentle.
men were somewhat constrained and
they looked askanCe at each other as
Mrs. Bent admitted them into her
domicile.
The widow had seen both men in
the offices of the owners of the bark
when the wreck was being reported
and bade them take seats.
Hive come on visit of sympathy"
said Mr.. JOY
"Sove l." chirruped Mr. Thrifty.
''lt was dispensation," said the
widow, piously.
so it was" exclaimed Mr.. JOY.
"HeYidently," added Mr.. Thrifty.
"My grief is deeper, gentlemen"
continued the widow, because John
was not Christian"
But he was, ma'am," cried Bo'sun
Joy, "and it was is talk with me as
made i'm one. The night afore we
foundered e says to me, Joy, sing me
a hymn and l sung i'm one, he hac-
companyin' me-"
"You make me so happy" murmured
Mrs, Bent, regarding the bosun ten
derly.
What was the 'ymn?" demanded
Mr.. Thrifty.
Mr.. Joy, taken unawares, was about
to say God Save the Queen" but he
recollected in time that this classic
is not ordinarily requested as a con-
ISOLATION in times of great danger.
"Hit was Rock of Ages" he re-
piled.
COW does it go?" asked Mr.. Thrifty,
with malevolent intention.
But Mr. JOY had steered a ship too
many times in choppy seas to be thus
caught.
"Iit would wound my cart and the
cart of Mrs, Bent for me to sing that
'ymn now, Thrifty" he said, with sol
emnity.
you've lifted a weight from my
heart sobbed Mrs. Bent, Il almost
feel that I've some interest in life"
you've a lot to live or" said Mr..
Joy, with a tender glance.
Now this was extremely discompos-
ing to Mr. Thrifty, who was also a
candidate for the two hundred pound
widow. Joy was carrying all before
him.
Bent was very serus durin' the

Mrs. Bent blushed.
Who was the man?' she asked
softly.
"Hi'll tell you some day in conf.

arch smile.

juries: "Who Influenced you most

He expected to get some useful and

mans reply:
Il tell yer, sir, 'ow l makes up my

sonin' man, and l amt Influenced by
anything the lawyers say, nor by what
