POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT

ledge of the Subject Falls Into
Error.

The proposition of the postoffice
department to raise the price on sec
ond-class matter strikes every farmer
and working man in the entire coun-
try, as 1t increases the price of pub
lications of all kinds. 1t would
seem that 1t would be better to stop
some OF the leaks in the management
OF the postoffice and scale down the
amount paid railroad companies in
access of reasonable transportation
charge. The second-class rate should
remain, as 1t brings to the miner,
the farmer and the laborer what, to
them, Is a great boon, abundance Of
cheap and good newspapers. They
cannot take a university course and
the next best thing is the technical
and general newspaper. The post
Office department has been a mis-
managed institution for at least half
century, and 1t is high time that a
reform be commenced which will
place 1t on the footing with other
forms Of government. Arthur Wal
lace Dunn, who is one of the leading
correspondents at the national capt.
tai, writes as follows on this subject:
The answer of congress-or that
part OF congress which looks into and
deals with postoffice affairs-to the
demand of the postoffice department
for an increase in the rate on second
class matter, is a proposition to re-
organize the postoffice department
on a business basis.
Postmaster General Hitchcock.
without knowing anything about the
subject, rushed into the trap laid
for him by somebody in the postoffice
department and carried President
Taft with him in a raid upon the
second-class postal rate. The house
committee has considered the subject
with great deal OF care and has
practically given up any idea of in
creasing the rate, while the members
OF the committee have come TO be-
lieve that the postoffice department
is In sore need Of better business
methods The senate committee long
ago came TO the same conclusion,
and as a result Of the present agita-
ton, Senator Carter has reintroduced
the bill which was the product Of n
painstaking postal investigation con.
Quoted two years ago.

inquiry into the subject Of second.

The kinu of the Herrinqs.

This is the name that sailors give
to the chimera, a hideous fish related
to the shark, because 1t feeds on her
rings 1t was called the chimera in
days gone by when it was much lafg-
er than 1t is now, after the fabulous
monster that was supposed to have
the body of a goat, the head of lion,
and the tail of dragon. Now 1t is
seldom more than FIVE feet long and
is no longer giant.
The eggs of this strange fish are
very curious. So far as we know, no
other fish in the sea lay eggs that
initiate their surroundings, but the
chimera's, which are oval, are bor-
dered with a fringe that looks just
like seaweed as they float upon the
water until the little fish are ready to
come out says Home Notes. No one
would ever guess what they contain,
or what ugly creatures the baby
chimeras would become when they
are hatched.

Animals That Weep.

While the act of laughing may be
peculiar to man, the same is not true
of weeping, which, II we are to ac-
cept the testimony Of a French ma
turalist, Is a manifestation of emotion
that is met with in divers animals.
1t Is said that the creatures that
weep most easily are the ruminants.
with whom the act Is so well known
that 1t has given rise to trivial but
accurate expression, "to weep like a
calf" All hunters know that the stag
weeps, and We are also told that the
bear sheds tears when 1t comes to
consciousness Of its last hour. The
giraffe is not less sensitive, and re-
CARDS with fearful eyes the hunter who
has wounded 1t. This animal also
weeps through downright nostalgia
Dogs also are held to be lachrymose
and the same holds in the case of GER
| tain monkeys. Sparrman states the
, elephant sheds tears when wounded
or when It perceiyes that 1t cannot es-
cape.
Aquatic animals too, it appears, are
able to weep Thus, many authori-
ties agree. dolphins at the moment OF
death draw deep sighs and shed tears
abnndantly. a young female seal was
observed to weep when teased by
sailor. st. Hilaire and Cuvier recount.
on the authority of the Malays, that
when young dugong is captured the
mother Is sure to be taken also The
little ones then cry out and shed
tears. These tears are collected with
great care by the Malays and are
preserved as a charm that is certain
to render lovers affection lasting

Unless all the players are square"
And every new game we teach father and

SO we rOmp and we play big and little

With never Il sign Of a fuss.
But sometimes a stranger man comes to

He creeps I'm so quiet and still
That we don't know he's here till we hear

Then father and mother both kiss us

A Cracker Ticket.

One day last winter in the class we
were notified by our teacher that we
we're going to have parents meeting.
There were boys and girls in uor
class. We had lemonade, crackers
and cake which the children had
brought. After we had finished our
lemonade two crackers were given to
us. The teacher said we might eat
one. but should keep the other until
she ate hers. We each ate our one
cracker. and it tasted very good. A
few boys started to nibble and taste
the second one, then another taste
and another, until the whole cracker
was gone; but ate only half of mine
Then the teacher said: Hold out your
ticket for piece of cake The class
stared at her. She then told us to
hold out our crackers. Those that
had eaten only one had another crack
er and got slice of cake for 1t.

invalid chair. For weeks he had not
been able to lie down, his breath was
so uncertain, his heart so weak.
At o'clock the door opened and
Henry looked in.
Still asleep" he muttered, and
went away. He came back a hall
hour later bearing tray with bowl
and glass. He put his burden on the
table and raised the shade.
Something about the quiet figure
drew his attention.
He crossed the room quickly and
touched the old mans head. Then
he bent down and held his ear close
to the old mans chest.
Gone, he quietiy said.
He went back and pulled down the
shade, and taking up the tray left the
room, softly closing the door
"There is no hurry" he muttered.
He looked at his watch. "SeveI-flfty.
III wait until the vault Is opened.
He stepped into the room across
the salesroom Much of the shelving
was left and at one side was the stor-
age vault with its paneled door. The
place had fallen into the old mans
grasping hands as many other
strange places had done.
Henry seated himself on a broken
chair near the vault door. Then he
drew long breath,
i've earned rest" he muttered.
I'm going away. I'm not too old TO
enjoy life. III spend the money free
ly. It's all mine-all mine What
haven't | done to earn it? Fawned,
slaved, humiliated myself in every
way. Well, it's all over" He held his
watch in his hand. That was a
strange idea of the old man's-hls
wanting me to go with him on the
Journey. He could not get 1t out OF
his mind. Well, he has started alone.
His face suddenly flushed, he thrust
the watch back in his pocket and ris-
ing quickly seized the vault door. 1t
yielded to his grasp.
And then, as he drew it open, there
was a sudden rattle, thunderous
crash, an outburst of fame and the
man was flung with terrific force
against the opposite wall.
The insane old man had planned
the surprise all too well. How long
his mad brain had hourished the idea
no one would ever know. How long
he had held lne latai bomb in readi-
ness no tongue could tell.
He had started on the long journey
alone, but his comrade of many years
had followed close behind,
