Inspector Bradford, of the post
office route-servlee, was i'm Linton a
day or two this week. He was sent
here by his superiors with instruc-
Etions to make necessary changes and
establish a permanent system Of
routes in Emmons county After
looking over the field he concluded
that there was but one change that
could at present be made in the way
of permanency, as the building Of
the new railroad along the west bank
of the river will undoubtedly re-
quire the making of further changes
next year. One permanent change
that he favored, however. was the
extension of the Hague Westfield
line to Winona by way Of Dale, and
that extension will undoubtedly be
recommended by him. The Winona-
Dale people have been getting the
worst of the mail service for some
time. and they are certainly in a
position to appreciate the change.
A considerable Improvement in the
Dale service has just been made.
Instead of the Pollock mail going
around by the river road to Winona,
lying over in that office day or so,
the Pollock stage will now go to Wi
mona by way of Dale. thus saving
two days delay in receiving mail at
Dale.

Postal Savings Banks Doomed.

William E. Curtis, writing from
Washington to the Chicago Record
Herald, says that defeat appears GER
tain for the postal savings bank bill
The opposition is said to come from
several sources. First, managers of
state and local banks who fear they
will lose their depositors; second, from
savings banks who fear their deposit
tors will transfer their accounts; third,
from people who think the govern
ment ought not to go into the bank
ing business, and finally, from the
members of the currency commission,
who believe that the enactment of 4
law establishing postal savings banks
at this time will interfered with a gen
eral reform of the currency system.
Mr.. Curtis argues against these objec-
tons, but concludes that they are
likely to prevail and defeat the bill.
or course these are mere excuses
Tor not enacting n postal savings bank
law, made for the purpose of fooling
the people. The real reason is that
the big banks of the country with

the banks should continue in the gov
erning business in all matters pertain

THE HONEYMOON PARADE.
Wedding Custom In One Town When
the Train Is Late.

A small city, which need not be To-
Gated more particularly than that 1t is
somewhere east Of Boston, has its own
peculiar way of speeding the newly
married on their honeymoon.
For one thing, every one goes to the
station to see the couple depart. This
is done in many small places. The
Showering of rice or confetti and the
throwing of the old shoe take place,
not at the home of the bride. but at the
station. To that extent the city re-
ferred to is not unusual.
But in this city train schedules fire.
quently go awry, and when they do
the unusual happens. The wedding, of
course, has been celebrated on time,
and the reception has taken as much
time as such things usually take. The
departure from the brides home Is
made in due season to catch the train
if 1T is on time
The wedding guests rush to the sta
ton, where all other inhabitants hav-
ing nothing better to do have assem-
bled already. 1t is free show which
no one would miss.
The carriage bearing the newly mar
ried pair is drawn by white horses and
decorated with white ribbons. Custom
demands this, and no one has yet had
the temerity to do otherwise.
The carriage arrives at the station,
and it is learned that the train is so
many minutes or so many hours late.
Usually the measure Is in hours.
The carriage doesn't wait. 1t goes
parading. 1t drives around and around
n prescribed route, from every point Of
which the driver can get due notice of
the approach of the train.
The crowd remains patiently at the
station. Other curious persons station
themselves at points along the route
just to see the wedding coach pass.
Sometimes two or three carriages.
drawn by white horses and decorated
in white, swing steadily around this
hvmeneal circuit 1t seems like an
endless procession. 1t is not unsuai
for a wedding pair to spend the first
five hours of their honeymoon just rid
ing round and round waiting for the
train.
When the screech of the locomotive
finally is heard the driver continues to
swing up to the platform just as the
train comes to Il stop. Then the bride
and bridegroom make mad rush for
their car amid shower of rice and
confetti and old shoes. The honeymoon
parade is overwhelming

Battle of the BuIIfroqs.

Some years ago the one dollar notes
of the Windham County (VtD State
bank carried vignette representing
frogs fighting. This was engraved to
commemorate what was known as the
battle of the bulifrogs. When the
town of Windham had been settled
there was very dry season. There
were two large ponds in the place, sep
arated by considerable strip of land.
Each of these ponds vas inhabited by
large number of frogs. The smaller
pond dried up, and its inhabitants
started in q body for the lower and
larger posd. They were met in the
intervening space by party from the
larger pond, and fierce and long con-
tinued battle ensued between the rival
communities. The hideous clamor Of
the frogs during this encounter at
tracted the attention of several farm
ers. who witnessed the strange spec
tacle of bullfrogs engaged in fierce
and deadly struggle. The battle last
cd twelve hours. and nearly all the in
habitants of the little town witnessed
it. For many years the war of the
frogs was favorite tradition Of

A Base and Baseless Charge.

Senator Hopkins says the country
press is enthusiastically for him. A
careful examination of the scores Of
Illinois exchanges, republican and
democratic, which come, fails to sup
port the claim of the senator Indorse-
ments of the senator are conSpicu-
GUS by their absence. In fact, about
the only comment heard is strongly
adverse to the senator, and he makes
mistake by calling attention to the
country press Most of the papers,
republican as well as democratic
which comment at all upon the sena
torial situation. follow along the line
of this remark from the Lincoln Cour-
Ter:
Senator Hopkins fight for re-elec
ton has reached the forlorn hope
stage. Nearly every newspaper that
has discussed the senatorial deadlock
declares that Hopkins chance of re
election is waning
"A candidate for such an exalted
position as United States senator, who
was defeated at the primary in his
own home ward, precinct. city. county
and district ought not to expect to be
reelected as member of the United
States senate"

Cleveland and the war.

The story of why Grover Cleveland
did not go to war is told by George
F. Parker in McClure's Magazine for
February. Mr.. Cleveland, who had
been criticised for his order for the
return of the battle flags taken dur
ing the civil war, said to Mr.. Parker:
See how l am misjudged. 1t Is
charged in the press that | had no
sympathy with the Union armies
When the war came there were three
men of fighting age in our family. We
were poor and mother and sisters de-
pended on Us for support. We held a
family council and decided that two
of us should enlist in the Union army
and the third stay home for the sup
port of the family. We decided it by
drawing cuts. The two long and one
short pieces Of paper were put by
mother in the leaves in the old family

Pooling the Dogs.

In certain part OF Scotland, ac-
cording to Dean Ramsey, the shep-
herds used to take their coilies with
them to church. The dogs behaved
well during the sermon, but began to
be restless during the last psalm and
saluted the final blessing with joyful
barks. In one church the congrega-
ton resolved to stop this unseemly
detail, SO when strange minister was
about to pronounce the blessing all re-
manned seated instead of rising, as he
expected. He hesitated and paused
