SENIOR BUsTAMENTE
A LUCKY R0DDER

There was never a luckicr bandit
than Zachariah Bustamente. who Was
discharged by the grand jury yes
terday because the man whom he
had robbed was too busy or too care
less to testify against him. Busta-
mente had been caught in the act of
extracting money from the pockets
of John Delaney. a hosting en-
gineer, in the rear of the Casino a
few months ago. a man who wit
messed the robbery informed the Of
ficers and soon after pointed out
Bustamente in the Porto Rico sa-
loon. When he was taken into Gus
tody he tried to throw the money
away on the side walk. but he had
more than $50 in bills. afterNard
identified as those taken from De
laney
The latter. who works about mines.
refused to come forward and testify
He makes Sc a day. and he said he
did not mind being relieved Of a
small sum like that Bustamente had
robbed him of. Beside. he could not
spare the time at So a day. Thus
the case fell to the ground and Bus
tamente was discharged
He is not lacking in nerve. for last
night he made a demand upon the
sheriffs office for the return of the
money which was taken from him
when he was arrested. The money
is in the possession Of the court and
will probably not be surrendered To
Bustamente without something Of a
struggle.

RURAL ROUTE RULES
AND THEIR PURPOSES
Circular Letter Issued by the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General.

While the government is doing its
utmost to hasten mail train service
schedules it is not forgetting the rural
routes and is doing all it can to better
the rural service in every way, espe
cially in making the delivery as
prompt as strict regulations and the
cooperation of patrons can do so. The
following circular letter from the
fourth assistant postmaster general to
all postmasters from whose offices
rural routes emanate. should be read
by all rural route patrons that they
may understand the purpose of the
strict regulations and that they are
authoritative and not merely the
whims of the postmasters who put
them into effect:
Postoffice Department,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General.
Washington.
April IS. 1909
The Postmaster:
In order to expedite the delivery,
collection. and dispatch of rural mail,
enable rural carriers to cover their
routes with CELEBRITY, and give the
earliest possible service to patrons re-
siding on the far ends of routes, the
department will insist that all rural
mail boxes be so located as TO be serv-
ed with the greatest expedition.
You are, therefore. directed to re-
quire each rural carrier at your office
to submit to you without delay, for
transmission to the department, the
names of all patrons whose boxes can
not be served without leaving the
road, dismounting. driving in deep
bitches or on steep inclines, or on or
across railway tracks involving dan
ger. or the approaches to whose boxes
are INSTRUCTED. II is not required that
boxes shall be erected beside the wheel
tracks, nor on any particular corner
of the crossroads: but they must be
erected within the confines of the
road. and accessible. on any corner.
1t is not desirable that boxes be at
tached TO telegraph, telephone, or cleo
trio light poles. or to fences or build
ings. but boxes should be securely fas-
tened to neat and strong posts firmly
set at the side Of the roads. at a suf-
ficient height OF be served by carriers
without rising from their seats or
reaching through wheel spokes.
After boxes have been properly re-
located. and it is practicable to cur
tail carriers schedules, Dostmasters
viii advise this office, so that changes
in schedules may be considered.

She | Has Come Into Her Own.

"FTER years Of adverse criticism
and yelled rudeness, patiently
born. the red-haired girl has out
grown the calumny once attached to her
and has come into her own. Today she
Is the envy Of her sisters in more ways
than one.
Why, no one knows. but the fact re-
mains that for years and years red hair
has been looked at askance. Redhaired
girls have been universally considered
different from other maidens and pos
sessed of an uncomfortable temper and
q malicious tongue.
Be that as It may, red-haired girls are
very much like other girls. As a class
they possess. perhaps. certain qualities
that diferentiate them from blondes and
btunettes, but these qualities are prin-
cipelly a question OF temperament. They
have no worse tempers than their sisters
and frequently less deceit.
=. One thing is very striking about red
haired giris-very few Of them are fools.
Take cases Of the women who make
IDIOTS Of themselves, either In a social,
financial or criminal way, and very few
OF them have red hair. The further this
statement is looked into the more inter
esting Il becomes.
Do you hear very often of a working
girl with red hair losing her job Some
how they all seem to have the "stick-to-
1t" quality. There is a certain man In a
certain Middle West city who employs
red-haired girls only when he can get
them, to handle his vast quantity Of Of
Gee work. He does SO because he Is
convinced that they are better workmen.
more honest and more jealous In their
employers interests than girls with the
average colored hair. He claims they
are never lazy or disloyal and always
conscientious.
One thing Is certain about red-haired
sirls-they are positive characters with
minds and wills of their own. Rarely Is
there anything shilly -shally about them.
Desrer to the feminine heart than these

postmasIers are directed to make re-
port thereof to the department. and to
the proper local road officials and CO.

and duty. to secure the improvement
Of the roads The manifestation of in

traits Of character could possibly be u
the fact that red hair is now more the
rage" than it has been even during the
last three years. Many q young girl
and many a woman. for that matter. has
ruined her raven tresses by attempting to
turn them red. Red hair is becoming
immensely popular. =
This Is gratifying to the red-haired girl.
What others are trying to possess she al
ready has. Notice a red-haired girl 90
the street. She is never Insignificant.
IL one dislikes red hair he notices hes
for that reason. The average womas
whose ambition is to have locks Of Titiaa
hue looks at her with envy. The red
haired girl knows she is Tin style" Shs

= The session of the teachers" institute
this forenoon was very interesting.
Prof. Jones talked upon, the method Of
teaching literature in the high. schools
and gave the TEACHERS some. very
valuable suggestions. Prof. Jones is
one of the most interesting speakers
we have heard in teachers. Institutes or
elsewhere for many years. Ifhe teaches
the way he talks, the young men and
women who come under his influence
ought to have high ideals and. ought to
make excellent teachers and valuable
citizens.

a five minute recess was declared, after
which Supt Anderson took up the
methods of teaching. English in the 7th
and 9Th grades of the public schools.
he began by scoring those, teachers
who had requested some light on this
subject and had gone home, when they
knew the subject was to be brought up.

deserved. He then outlined q method
by which he thought the requirements
of the state course of study could be
successfully accomplished =

Do not yield to misfortunes, but meet
them with fortitude.
Our greatest glory is not in never
failing. but in rising every time we
fall.
Language was given to us that we
might say pleasant things to each

In all things it is better to hope than

1t is good TO have money, and the
things that money can BUY; but it's good,
too, to make sure you have not lost the
things that money cannot buy.
Not until you make men self-reliant,
intelligent, and fond of struggles
fonder of struggle than help-not till
then have you relieved poverty.
Find something to do. The power to
find or make an object is a great part of
