Post Offices In Competition.

When the post Office was first
opened at Kai Feng, China, the clerks
had q fight with some men who
bought stamps and refused to go
away until the stamps were licked
and stuck on their envelopes for
them. The foreign post Offices in
Palestine are usually convulsed by a
spirit Of keen competition. If a par
eel exceeding the regulation weight
or size is taken to an Office and re-
fused the traveller in the majority of
cases has only to threaten to take it
to q rival Office and it is straightway
received without a murmur. So keen
is the rivalry between some of these
Offices that residents in Palestine pos.
sess a free post within certain dis
tricts. Between Jafa and the sur
rounding colonies, and also within
Jerusalem, the German and Austrian
Offices make no charge for the deliv.
cry Of local letters.

KEPT MULES ON THE MOVE
HItched to Speeding Automobile Team
for a While Had the Time Of
Their Lives.

Here Is . story from Manhattan
with vaudeville features, not to men.
ton the hard luck:
A farmer living on Deep creek, sew
eral miles east of Manhattan, had a
thrilling experience with an automo-
bile and a team Of mules. The farmer
recently had purchased a new machine,
and on one of his first trips tried to
cross, the creek at a ford. He put the
clutch at high speed and waded in.
For some reason the engine went dead
in midstream. Cranking failed to re-
vive 1t. After a number Of useless ef-
forts, the farmer secured a team of
mules, hitched them to the stubborn
auto and dragged the machine across
the creek and up the bank. The driver
had left the clutch on at high speed,
and from some un%accountable cause as
soon as the machine was on level road
the engine suddenly revived, the ma
chine started forward with a bound
and struck the mules squarely in their
kicking apparatus. There was some
thing doing Immediately thereafter.
The mules started off full tilt with the
machine chugging after them; the
driver being occupied with the mules,
could not give the machine much at
tention. The machine was soon going
at a great speed, striking the mules
on the heels again and again. Both
team and machine became unmanage-
able; but the mules suddenly jumped
to one side, bringing the machine
sharply around and causing it to strike
a bank of earth, thus bringing the
strange runaway to an abrupt end

Martin Luther's Room.

The chamber of Martin Luther at
Wartburg has fallen into a state Of
ruin. Admirers who have visited the
Ritterhaus Of Voburg, where the
Elector Frederick the Wise offered
asylum to the reformer, have allowed
their real to exceed their discretion,
and, vandal like, have carved their
names with their pocket knives On
the table, and Clipped of bits from
the bedstead, 50 that to restore II
would necessitate making it anew.
The same has happened with the
plaster on the wall. and the famous
ink stain has disappeared completely.
It Is high time that measures should
DO taken to make an end Of these
scandalous depredations. - Jenaey

The hrst attempt to raise ostriches
d Australia was made by a Mr.. Nal.
com. who in 1880 brought 100 young
birds from South Africa to South Aus
4tralia. In the following year the par
lament Of South Australia enacted .
law which granted to the first person
who should exhibit $50 ostriches more
than one year old about 2,400 acres of
land suitable for ostrich farming.
The conditions were satisfied by the
South Australian Ostrich Company,
which was founded in 1885 with a cap.
ital Of 81. 900. The company received
land near Port Augusta on Spencer
bay. but In spite Of this assistance
the company has never paid a divi-
lend. although It now possesses LOO
ostriches. all Of which were imported
from South Africa. There is a still
larger ostrich farm on the shore Of
Lake Albert, and smaller farms are
scattered through the colony.

N. P. PROMISES
QUICK DELIVERY
FREIGHT DIFFICULTIES DISCUSS.
ED BY FARGO BUSINESS MEN
AND OFFICIALS OF NORTHERN
PACIFIC AT A MEETING HELD
THIS AFTERNOON.

For some time there has been good
deal of complaint among Tbs Fargo
shippers in regard to the manner in
which the Northern Pacific road has
been handling the freight in and out
of this city and the matter came to
the attention of the Commercial club
Upon the suggestion of the members
of the club and Superintendent Craver
and Agent Johnson of the N. p,
meeting was arranged for this after
noon between the shippers. members
of the club and the two officials men
toned. 1t was held at the commercial
club rooms, where the matter was dis
cussed and 1t is believed that a much
now on.
Superintendent Craver some time
ago took up the matter with his road.
The chief cause for complaint was in
the fact that goods consigned from
Fargo to points west of the Missouri
river were very slow In reaching their
destination.
II believe I have solved the problem
in regard to the shipment of freight
from Fargo west of the Missouri" said
Mr.. Craver today, and the new order
has been in effect for three or four
days. We have an arrangement now
by which we will load ear of goods
that is destined to the points west of
the Missouri to the first distributing
point and from that on 1t will be dis
tributed by local freights. We haul
the car loaded with merchandise in
Fargo over Dilworth and then attach
the car to our fast freight No COL, so
that it goes right straight through to
its first distributing point west of the
Missouri. This is just as good SER
vice as we can possibly give. and will
save many hours over the old way. /
think when the shippers here get to
understand this that they will feel that
we have done all that we can to give
good service. The new system was
started the first Of the month and has
so far worked first rate"

Oil Octopus Must

DRAWS GRAIN BY
A WAGON TRAIN.

New England Herald At about
6 O'Clock. Monday evening Albert
Leff's special, consisting of a big
traction engine and ten double-box
freight wagons, left New England
for Reeder with about 1000 bushels
of flax for load. Nearly every
body in town was out to see the
sight and all were surprised to see
how easily the big engine pulled
it's load up the steep hill south Of
the bridge. The engine is powerful
enough to walk right off with ten
big loads of freight and it would
be a regular pleasure trip if 1t were
not for just few bad creeks.
Mr.. Left has the contract to haul
the flax stored in the Columbia
elevator to Reeder from which
point it will be marketed. He
manages to have a fair load of
freight from Reeder each trip and
this helps pay running expenses.
Hauling hard coal for the outfit is
the worst feature as there happens
to be no supply at this end of the
line.
