second dass privileges in your post
office. Our application was made in
legal for n. We furnished the neces-
sary profits as to subscriptions All
the legal requirements were complied
with. Ofthis we were assured by the
superintendent of second class mail
in the Id Angeles postofftce. ..~s
Having complied with the law, we
were give1 a temporary permit to
take advantage of the second class
privileges while, our application was
being finally passed upon in Wash
ington, provided we should deposit
each week sum equal to one cent
for each and every copy presented
for mailing at the postoffice.
This rule was compiled with and
we have now on deposit with the
Los Angeles postoffice the sum Of
$500, which we cannot withdraw until
such time as the third assistant
postmaster general shall send word
that we have duly complied with the
law.
Three weeks is usually the limit of
time required by the postoffice de-
partment to pass upon an application
for the second class mailing privileges.
Our application has been on file for
ten weeks.
What does it mean? We have COM
excuse why we should not have been
given the privileges seven weeks ago,
and We should now have the use of
our money to extend the circulation
of our paper.
Does it mean that, by laying an
extra burden of $50 a week upon our
shoulders, the United States govern
ment is planning to put us quietly out
of business?
AS we have stated, our paper has
been a success from the start. But
we began with no capital, We had
only enough money at the start to get
out the first issue of the paper and
we cannot stand this extra burden. If
we are not fairly dealt with we shall
be compelled to suspend.
We need help. First, we beg our
friends to protest against the con-
spiracy to crush us. We have COM
piled with the law. Demand that your
government cease discriminating
against us in order to favor our en-
envy, the tyrant of Mexico. Write to
the third assistant postmaster. Write
to your congressman. Write to your
local newspaper.
Second, we need money, not to sup
port our paper, but to tide us over the
difficulty raised by the discrimination
that is being practiced against us: We
need this money at once or we will
lose everything,
The death of our paper would be a
blow to the movement to abolish the
slavery, the peonage and the political
oppression of Mexico, and to: establish
democratic institutions in our country.
Think Of the hundreds of thousands
of Mexican slaves being beaten and
starved to death in Vale Nacional, in
Yucatan-all over 'Mexico!; They are
dying today-those men, women and
children. : We hear their voices cry
ing their agony out to- us to help
them. We ask that you hear our
voices, that you oppose the conspiracy
against us, that you give us what you
can to help us save our: paper, that
you give 1t now. -.

Law and Matrimony

The best of In this worlds goods and
the best looking widow in the village
OF Brunswick was Mrs. Henry Rob-
erts. She was not only proud of her
self, but the town was proud of her.
She needn't have been widow more
than year after the death of. her
husband, but four years had passed
and no one had won her love. 1t was
then that Farmer Johnson, widower,
bought farm near the village and
settled upon It,
Farmer johnson was middle aged
and very busy man. He made few &C.
quaintances in the village. Three
months passed. and he had never
heard of Widow Roberts. Then a con-
stable served summons on him as
defendant in lawsuit for damages.
The widow was the plaintiff.
'She claims that a one horned cow
belonging to me damaged her garden
SO worth. Never owned a one horn
ed COW in my Hfe."
That afternoon he went down to see
the widow about it. He was very gra-
ciously received and his statement lis
tened to and not contradicted. Instead
Of the last, the widow said:
':Mr. johnson, I've seen you in
church for the last five Sundays-your
pew Is directly ahead of nine-and
you have never looked around oncev'
''Mebbe not. I'm no hand to. look
around In church"
'Ahem! Mr.. johnson, this suit must
60 on!' ...-- .Er -. 49,.
Mr.. johnson was at church next
Sunday, but he didn't look around.
What time he wasn't thinking Of that
lawsuit be was mad. Monday. after.

- Better 90 and see her." was the
advice that was followed the next day.
The widow was smiling and gra-
cious. She listened to the denial with.
out much interest and answered:

An Effective Alarm

Flanagan had been discharged from
the artillery and went to live in a cot
tage in his native village. One day he
left OH a weeks visit to some distant
relatives, and a day later the village
constable was standing at his door
when he heard the sudden boom of
the rusty annon Flanagan had
mounted on his front hedge.
An instant later a brick whizzed
past the constable's ear and smashed
his door to smithereens.
The indignant officer, followed by
the populace, rushed to Flannigan's
cottage and found it still %tenantless,
but showing signs Of recent burgling.
When Flanagan returned the next
week he heard the news and was de-
lighted.
"Oi prepared for burglars afore OF
whit away" he said, 'by thrainin' the
gun on yer front door, constable, and
connecting it by sacret wires to the
doors and windies and loading it wild

Canine Etiquette,

In their relations with one another
dogs have a keen sense of etiquette.
A we'll known traveller makes this un.
expected remark about a tribe of
naked black men living on one of the
south sea islands: "1n their everyday
intercourse there is much that is stiff,
formal and precise" Almost the same
remark might be made about dogs.
Unless they are on very intimate terms
they take great pains never to brush
against or even to touch one another.
For n dog to step over another is 9
dangerous breach Of etiquette unless
they are special friends. It is no un.
common thing for two dogs to belong
to the same person and live in the
same house and yet take the
slightest notice Of each other. We
have q spaniel SO digni6ed that be
will never permit another member OF
the dog family to pillow his head upon
him; but, with the egotism Of a true
a%ristocrat, he does not hesitate to
make use of the other dogs for that
purpose.-Henry @. Merwin in Allan.
