new CARDS FOR MAIL BOXES
WILL COME NEARER TELLING
TIME OF COLLECTIONS.
Changes Made Necessary by Intro
duction Of Automobiles-Prob-
ably Will Be of Iron.

Plans are being perfected by the city
postmaster to label the letter boxes
throughout the city with new time
cards which will show within fifteen
minutes of the time when the various
collections of mail will be made from
each box. 1t is likely the time
cards will be made of enameled iron SO
as to stand the weather.
The street letter boxes have hereto
fore borne time cards showing the
hours when the various collections
from them In certain districts begin,
but such cards necessarily have been
misleading as to the time when the
actual collections were made from
given boxes. because. naturally, a col
lector would not be expected to make
his collection at the last box on his
route at the same hour as from the
first.
Collectors as rule have districts which
require an hour and more to cover, and
the present purpose is to have each box
in their districts bear time card which
shall show, not when the collections be-
gin on the route. but about the time. or
within fifteen minutes of it, when the
collection is actually made from the given
box.
1t does not follow. however, that if a
letter is collected from box at, say, =
o clock pm, the postmark given it at the
post Office will show 2 pm. as the hour
of mailing at the post Office. After the
collections are made and brought into the
post Office, the mail has to be faced and
prepared for postmarking. The hour
given in the postmark is the hour when
the letter or parcel is postmarked, not
that when it was deposited in the street
letter box.
Rearrangement of the collection routes
and the introduction of automobiles in the
collection service neceSsitated a rear
rangement of the collection hours. and as
soon as the new schedules are completed,
the time cards will be prepared and at
tached to the boxes.

Hearing on Race Gambling-a Cor.
rection.

To the Editor of The Star:
In your report of the Senate hearing
on the Burkett bill you named California
Nevada. Kentucky and Indiana as the
four states which have not yet been
swept in by the antigambling wave that
caught New York, the District of Column
bia and Louisiana last year. Indiana
should not be included in the backward
list, but Maryland substituted which for
some strange reason, unlike all other
eastern states, legaiiZes race gambling
but cannot much longer stay "out of the
union on this question. Movements are
on foot for the abolition of gambling in
California and Nevada, and Kentucky
las recently modified its methods Even
the territories of New Mexico and AriZo-
na less than year ago passed drastic
anti-gambling laws. 1t looks as if the
abolition of race gambling would soon
be one of the finished American reforms

EVENING DREAMS.
INV - Manhattan

(y Il" Manhattan)
Memory throubs within my pulses as watch this perfect night
With its blur of consultations dipped in smouldering haze of light
And the moon, that smiling dreamer, in her silent summer dreams
Shedding DER the drowsy world a ondrous wealth of mellow beams,
Brings me fondest recolleetons of a pair of tender eyes
That nightly watched beside me with the splendor OF the skies.
But the crickets rasp is dismal as it rings beneath the trees
And the tree-tops song is dreary as they rustic in the breeze
And / wonder, is She watching these moonbeams at their play,
And thinking, sadly thinking, of d time that's passed away
OF a time that's shortly gone, when our pulses beat in tune,
And our hearts were light and airy as the summer cloud at noon.
Tell me moon, golden moon, art thou gazing at her now?
Art thou playing with the rnglees that shield her placid brow?
While she's dreaming all the dreams that I'm wishing her to dream?
Art thou kissing perfect lips, lips of rarest rubyred?
Dost thou love, as have loved, to look upon that shapely head?
Or art thou peepfng through the easement of her chamber at her rest
DO thy shadows rise and fall with the heaving of her breast?
Dost thou guard this quiet sleeper with thy tender yellow beam,

WHO SHOULD DECIDE.

The following bit from the New York Journal is so at outs with
general belief and practice and withal sc true that because of the
valuable lesson taught we gladly yield it space:
Max Martin took his 14year-old boy to court because the boy
would not study the things that his father wanted him to study.
The Judge before whom the father and son appeared wisely gave
careful attention to the case. But the Judge said to the boy: agree
with your father on your life work"
This is bad advice in our opinion. 1t is not the duty of a child
to find out what the father thinks he ought to do. 1t is the duty of
a father to find out what the boy can do and encourage the boy in
that.
The strongest incentive in this world is Unborn attraction. The
food that we like we digest. What We do not like we do not digest.
The work that we like we can deal with successfully. Work that
we do against the grain is never fully successful.
It is important that a father should learn the inchnations of his
children. OF course, the little boy who wants to be a pirate is
laughed out of his plans; ideas of infancy have no value.
But the child of IL or over with a decided interest in any one
kind of work should be encouraged in that line.
Many of the greatest men-Newton, for instance, greatest of all
discoveries of law-have been thought stupid because they rebeIed
against work that was not congenial. In the end they justified the
rebellion.
Human beings, in the long run, will learn the truth put before
them years ago by Charles Fourier, that men are governed by their at
fractions, and that the success of the individual and of the race de-
ponds upon giving full play to the attractions OF passions. Thwart-
ing them or coercng them means failure.
