GREAT RUSH NOW ON
Employees at the Local Post
Office Are as Busy as a
Hive of Bees.
POST CARDS ARE BURDEN

The holiday rush is on at the local
post office and the postman's strenuous
existence has commenced. 1t is esti-
mated that during the Christmas week
fully 100000 letters, postal cards and
packages will have been handled by
the tired clerks who will be greatly re-
lieved when the holidays are over AMI
the busy days are past.
Souvenir post cards are a nightmare
to the postman during the holidays.
For the purpose of ascertaining just
how many cards were posted at the To-
cal office on the day before Christmas
last year, Postmaster Spekenhier I'M
dertook the difficult task of counting
them as they slid down through the
shute. The result was surprising A
perfect stream of post cards rolled
through the opening at an average Of
5000 an hour. On Christmas day last
year one family in the south end on
route No. 13. received 1872 souvenir
post cards, and while this was an un-
common occurrence, it is not uncom-
mon it is said for many families to re-
ceive 40 or so cards by mail in one
day during the holidays.

Sacramento, Cal, Dec. ia gigan-
tic project for the development of
the Aeroplane on an entirely scien-
tific basis and planned to involve over
$5,00O,OOO, has been launched by Eng
lish capitalists, and a representative
is now on his way to Kings county
where it is planned to purchase at
least thousand acres of land along
Tulare Lake for a manufacturing site
and experiment grounds.
The new aeroplane invention is
chiefly based on the theory of gyro-
scope motion as applied by the Bren-
nan mOno-rail transportation system
of England, which by a recent expert
ment has established it's practicable
fly. In the single rail vehicle the pow
er and balance is derived by two of
the gyroscope wheels running in OPP
posite directions in vacuum tanks.
Mr.. Holliston declares that the new
aeroplane will have this as it's pivotal
feature, and that small model which
they have made proves their theory
to be practical. The new company
will be Incorporated under the Cali
fornia laws, capitalizing for either
five or ten million dollars.

Soap Bubble Parties.

These are most interesting for all
sizes and ages. Good clay pipes and
CASTLE soap and bowls enough to go
around are the needful things: also a
room which will not be hurt by a
sprinkling Of soapsuds. And one thing
more-the smaller the child the bigger
the apron to cover him.
A little glycerin in the lukewarm
soapsuds will make the bubbles bright
er and more durable. and if a thick
shawl is spread on the door they will
bounce upon it like rubber balls.
A bubble tournament is great fun.
Arrange sides, with leaders. Let one
side step forward in a line with pipes
and bowls Then the leader starts
and sees how many bubbles he can
make with one dip Of his pipe. Each
OF his followers does likewise. while
some one not in the game keeps the
score. Then the other side takes it's
turn, and the side which blows the
greatest number is the prize winner.

Carrie Nation Gives Out Advice
Saloon Wrecker Talks on Mother1-Iaws While in Work.
house Awaiting Trial for Latest Performance

Washington, D. c., Dec. 13.-"The
first thing a fellow ought to do when
he goes counting is to get a line on his
future mother-in-law, because she's
going to be either his best friend or
his worst enemy"
1t was Carrie Nation who confided
this bit of philosophy to a reporter
last night.
The enforced leisure of the Wash.
ington workhouse, where she is held
pending a hearing on a charge of de
stroying property, has given Mrs. Ma
ton the chance to turn her attention
from her pet theme. and it was an
off day for the demon rum as far as
she was concerned.
Il am going to devote large part of
my time hereafter to seeing that moth
ers-in-law get the attention they ought
to have from the American people,
she said, warming to her theme.
"Why, man ought to love his mother
in-law as much as he does his wife,
and if he does not it's a sign either
that he's soaked all the decency out of
him with Whiskey or burned it out
with these fool cigarettes. If a man
does not like the mother of the girl
he's going with he better light out and
book his spare time somewhere else,
because it's a sure thing that the girl
will turn out to be Just like the old
lady.
This law of heredity that I've been
studying lately is wonderful thing.
It's the keynote of the whole matri-
monial problem. Now. if fellow be-
gins to think his girls mother is pref
ty nice dispositioned, he don't need to
look any further than that house for
wife. And after he gets married it's
most likely that his mother-in-law will
be willing to do more for him than his
wife will in the way of cooking and
economizing and minding his chill
dren."
Mrs. Nation owns to 63 years, but
says she will fight to the death against
the demon rum. She has now achiev-
ed the browning triumph of her nine
years crusade-the smashing of the
glass furnishings in the big union sta
ton here. 1t is on this charge that
she will be heard tomorrow.
Mrs. Nation says her defense will
be that she has not destroyed private
property but public nuisance She
says she will take her case clear to
the supreme court of the United
States.
Carrie thinks that the country has
improved in the last three years.

Press Agent Towns Tip Chicago
Windy City Receives Lots of Advice How to Boost Itself
Lots of Novel Schemes Are Suggested.

Chicago, Dec. 13-No sooner was 1t
announced that Chicago was about to
have a municipal press agent. so that
the fact that there is such a place
would become more generally known,
than advice began pouring in from
scores of towns that are noted for
keeping their names before the public.
Excellent advice comes from the
Benevolent Order Of Boomers of South
Shore Long Island places. Writing
from Patchogue. the secretary of the
order says:
IF We are correctly informed tina:
Chicago is built on the shore of great
lake. the city has immense possibility
for advancement by means of our well
known and always successful sea SER

Dispatches from other cities follow:
"Pittsburg. Pa. Dec 13.-There was
city press agents tonight to comment
on the new move in Chicago. as the
press agent bureau here is practically
disbanded, having overreached itself.
Leading citizens advocate hiring an eff

pers.

Italian Naval
Officers May
Be in the Clear
Improper Motives Not Yet Officially
Ascribed to Men of Aetna Off
Virginia Capes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-General regret
is expressed in administration circles over
the publication ascribing improper motives
to the commander Of the Italian cruiser
Aetna, which on Saturday morning last is
reported to have steamed between the ships
OF the Atlantic battleship fleet engaged in
target practice off the Virginia capes.
Naval officials in authority in Washing
ton expressed the opinion that any criti-
cism of the action Of the of the
vessel should be withheld until some sub
~stantial evidence is at hand that he in any
way violated international propriety in an
effort to observe the operations and results
Of the gunners' work aboard the vessels.
The Aetna, they say, is a guest of the
nation and 1t would be highly improbable
that it's commander would be guilty of an
affront to our people. The officers say the
ship was on its way TO an American port
and IL 1t slowed up as reported when APP
preaching the fleet II was, in all probability,
because of it's Intention to pass in at the
capes and make port. II any affront we're
given the naval officers say 1t was entirely

secretary of the navy, was particularly en-
phatic in his declaration that in his opinion

Captain Nathaniel Usher, the acting Chic
of the bureau Of navigation, declared that
no word had come to the Navy department
officially regarding the incident, although
the department was in constant wireless
communication with the fleet.
BALTIMORE, Sept 3.-Captain Fillippio
Baggio, marquis Of Ducarro, commander
of the Italian school ship, today announced
as untrue the story Of alleged improperly
on his part while his vessel was steaming
through the American fleet off Cape
Henry last Saturday.
Captain Baggio said he changed the
course OF his ship when he saw the fleet
in order to salute the fleet, and as the
Americans were slow in answering, he said
he slowed down so that the flagship might
return the salue before he had passed.
1T would be foolish to say that we spied
upon the fleet. There was nothing to
spy upon at the time said Captain
BaBgio.
