NUMBER WAS EXCESSIVE.
Complaint Regarding Presentation
of Americans at Berlin.
Special Cablegram to The Star.


BERLIN, February ia report has
been cabled from Germany to the effect
that a communication amounting to al.
expostulation was addressed to the Amer.
team embassy here by the kaiser's court
marshaPs department on the excessive
number of American presentations at the
recent schleppen court. 1t was suggested
in these reports that President Taft was
responsible for the number of these pres
entauons, which was more than that of
all the other embassies IN Berlin together
TIE correspondent of The Star is au-
thorzed to say that President Taft had
nothing to do with the presentations 1t
Is true that the number of debutantes
apart from the customary presentations
OF members OF the family of the embassy
staff. was larger than ever before This
was due TO two facts-first, that the
number of Americans coming to Berlin is
whereas citizens of other countries must
have been presented at their home courts
before they are eligible for presentation
here, there is nothing answering to a
court in America. Therefore there is no
artificial restriction of the number and
character of those DESTROYS of being pre-
sented at the kaiser's court.
That there is no dissatisfaction here
with the list of presentations Is shown
by the fact that all those who were
presented were invited to one or the other
of the regular court balls.

PLAN TO KEEP GERMS
FROM POSTAGE STAMPS
Clerks Instructed to Turn Gummed
Side Up When Selling
Them.

Recalling the oft-advanced theory that
germs can be transmitted with kiss,
the Post Office Department has issued
special instructions to postmasters to
direct their. employees who sell postage
stamps not to hand them out with the
gummed side downward, lest by contact
with the base of the stamp windows,
where hundreds of hands rest daily. they
gather and transmit germs Of disease to
those who still follow the old-fashioned
way of licking their postage stamps. Be-
fore issuing the order, Dr. Wyman. of the
public health and marine hospital serv-
ice, was consulted and his opinion justi-
fled it,

1t has been repeatedly stated that there
was to be no extensive overhauIing of
the employees and that those to be affect

lively few employees will lose their posi-
lions altogether, but there will be num-

number of promotions. The reports to
Secretary MacVeagh all showed well for

there are a number of these who are re-
ceiving salaries far greater than should
be their proportion. The action to be
taken, therefore, will strike a number of

Rural Mail Carriers Are Not
Allowed to Hunt.
DELAYED DELIVERY OF MAIL
Practice Had Been So Common as
to Cause Complaint.

With Valentine Day at Hand,

GOOD NEWS IN COUNTRY

Tomorrow is st. Valentines day. and the
rural swain, whose honest heart beats
as warmly under a hickory shirt as does
the heart of the most pampered scion
OF the rich, can breathe easy this year,
for his Pumpkin Center valentine car
is reasonably assured of quick passage
along the paths of the rural free delivery
service. Last year 1t was different. oh.
SO different! The rural free carrier
used to take his gun along the route, and
between farms he'd go off cunning for
the game that grew emboldened by the
long-continued winters fast.
But the post office authorities have
caught on to the carrier and his little
habit of laying down the mail bag and
picking up the game bag, as the follow
ing notice, issued in good faith, really
will attest:
Text of the Order.
'"The shooting and hunting of game
~ rural mail carriers while they are
officially employed on the service of their
routes, or the carrying of guns for that
purpose, is to be prohibited in the flu

Complaints were received that delay in

Hard Scrabble, the thriving metropolis

hev been goin ter meetin', as the gossips
say, for nigh on ter ten years, an folks
begun ter wonder when 81 was goin' ter
ask the final question.
So when ST chucked large quid OF to-
bacco into the red-hot stove at the
Racket store, and asked Hen Waddle
what he might be askin' for those purity
picture cards with lingerie on the edges,
the Oldest Inhabitant came out of his
winters trance by the cracker barrel and
allowed that he guessed there'd be an
other wedding soon. 81 paid 30 cents
for that beautiful valentine, paid cent
extra for a stamp. bought a large en-
velope for cents and started to inscribe
Susan's name on it. When 81 writes ne

his tongue around in his cheek and groans
and puffs line an undertrained marathon
racer. 1t was painful task, but with
the aid of advice from all hands present
in the Racket store he finally got the job
finished.

President Explains the Power OF
East.

Washington, April President
Taft. in an address before the Ohio
Society, of Washington, last night
pointed out that the dominating pow
er of the eastern states in congress
lies in the fact that they keep men
in office when hey place them there.
His words created a mild sensation.
He contrasted the influence of the
east in legislative affairs with the
west and attributed the supremacy
of the former to the continuous SER
vice as legislative representatives.
He said: when the eastern states
get a good representative they keep
him as long as he lives, and then he
has an influence that vastly exceeds
the mere numerical representation
of the population" The president
