THE POSTAL DEFICIT.

Everyone must regret the heavy
deficit the postoffice department has
experienced the past year. That some
thing should be done to gradually
decrease the deficit and bring the SER
vice to self support all will admit
But II would be mistake to effect
that reduction at the expense of the
newspapers and their readers To
increase the postage on genuine
newspapers would be equivalent to
putting tax on knowledge. What wit
the steady increase in the price of
print paper and printed supplies
generally the cost of running a news
paper Is much greater than 1t was a
few years ago, and every additional
cost becomes a burden.
There are other and more reasona
Bile ways In. which the post office
deficit might be reduced. The frank
ing privilege is generally regarded as
an abuse that might be abolished
with considerable saving Of expense
A further decrease could be effect
ed by changing the postal relations
between the postoffice department al
he othre government departments
Then, too, there is every reason t.
believe that the government pays to,
much to the railroads for carrying tn
mails.

THE VALUE OF A HEN.

Thirty dollars for hen sounds
like big price. But according to
the Wall Street Journal that Is the
average value of hens In the United
States.
This conclusion Is reached by cap
italizing the profit of egg production
ON a per cent income basis, which
is but following the Wall Street rule.
1t is estimated that eighteen thous-
end million eggs are produced an
nually In the United States. Allow
ing 120 eggs per year to every hen,
this means that there are 10000, 900
laying hens In this country. At the
market rate of 20 cents dozen, the
ten dozen eggs produced by every
hen are worth ST. From this the
journal deducts 40 cents for "mainter
aace' and 10 cents for depreciation
leaving a net profit of $l.50 a hen
This capitalized on 5 per cent basis
gives the estimated value of $50 for
every hen, or an aggregate value OF
81, 500 ,O00, 900 for all the hens in the
United States.
AS the Journal remarks, this amount
is equal to more than one-fourth the
outstanding capital obligations Of
all the railroads in the United Stat
es in 1907.
1t is evident from the foregoing
estimates that the hens are very
important factor in the production
VI wealth In this country, and thai
hey have by no means received full
seem, nevertheless. to be very well
credit for what they have done. They
content, for they are disposed rath
er to cackle over their achievement
than to complain of any lack of rec
ognition.

Herman Ridder, president of the

citation, invited the attention OF Attor-
ney General Wickersham on Dec. to
statements made at a banquet of pa
per dealers in New York, wherein 1t
was claimed by a representative OF
the International Paper company that
tho president of the American Paper
and Pulp association, A. C. Hastings,
was advising paper mills what paper
iiices should be. The attorney gener-
al referred the matter to United
States District Attorney Wise of New
York. who asked for specifications.
AS result of that request John
Norris, chairman of the committee on
paper of the Publishers association,
has submitted detailed data purport-
Ing to cover the following matters:
First-Restriction of forty-six news
print paper mills in use of news print
paper, which restrictions make impos-
sible either an open market or public
quotations of paper prices.
Second-Action of news print paper
mills east of the Rocky mountains In
refusing to sell I. o. b. mill for spot
cash or in quoting excessive prices
because presumably it would inter
fere with gentlemen's agreement.
Third-Refusal of many news print
paper mills to sell other than thirty
two pound paper.

TROPHIES or THE
ROOSEVELT HUNT
Features Of Collection Shown
at Smithsonian Institution.
IN THE BEST OF CONDITION.
Many Large and Small Mammals and
1856 Birds - Human Skulls Picked
Up Along Ancient Slave Trail Were
Also Shown.


Many mammal skulls and blrdskins
collected by the Roosevelt hunting ex.
petition In East Africa were shown to
regents Of the Smithsonian institution
at Washington after the annual meet
Ing the other day. One Of the most
interesting exhibits was collection
Of almost a dozen skulls Of the dix
dix, the little antelope about which
good deal has been said In print
There was also large collection Of
other antelope skulls, Appropriateness
and rhinoceroses and the skulls of gi-
RATES. and Of wild boars. The bird
skins included a very large number of
highly colored small birds. besides a
specimen of the rosy pelican and rare
herons and the secretary bird.
There were two tables covered with
the skulls Of rhinoceroses, hippos, i'm
mense skulls of CRATES ana specimens
Of boars' skulls with murderous look
| Ing tusks. One of the most interesting
| questions that presented itself to the
regents was how giraffe, with neck
ten feet long, could ever manage to
handle the immense skull which was
at the end Of this great lever.
There WAS one skull Of a rhinoceros
shot by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
that nicely displayed what small
brain directs immense brute force. The
bullet had entered just above the right
yeSand had blown out the top Of the
skull, leaving the brain cavity exposed.
This was just big enough to make a
nice cup for a mans fist.
Brain Capacity Question.
1t raised the question anew whether
quantity or quality was necessary in
the brain development of animals. The
rhinoceros Is credited with being a
stupid animal. At the same time the
elephant has almost as small brain
cavity and is rated as one Of the most
intelligent Of animals.
The skull Of the dikdik was scarce
ly as large as that Of a small terrier
dog. When placed alongside the I'm
mense skull of an African buffalo II
was altogether lost by comparison
There were many other antelope skulls
and skulls Of other horned cattle.
There were also on view severa
cases of small birds collected by DR.
Mearns, although the larger specimens
were nearly all shot by Colonel Roose

DcnOunCeS Action of Governor
Wilson.

The action of Governor Wilson
in pardoning eleven negroes serv-
ing terms in the penitentiary for
the murder of Barry, a tray
cling salesman of Louisville,
continues to be freely discussed in
Webster county, and Governor
Wilson is being denounced on all
sides for the wholesale pardons
and turning loose at one time
of eleven negroes convicted of
killing white man.
1t develops that neither Com
monwealth's Attorney S. V. Dix
OH, or County Attorney G. w.
Bennett was notified that the
Governor was considering an APP
plication for the pardon of the
negroes, in the face of the fact
that they had made request that
they be informed of such action in
order that they might offer a pro-
test.

| DON'T KNOW

DIR. Frederick A. Cook. the ex.

confessed that he does not know
whether he reached the North

DR.. Cook has informed the ed

Cook in the story deals with the
psychology of his adventure and
says:

Perhaps | made a mistake in

did not make mistake.
After mature thought, | confess
that | do not know absolutely
whether | reached the Pole or not.
This may come as an amazing
statement, but | am willing to
startle the world if by so doing |

my case.
by my case | mean not my

but my case as man.
Much as the attainment of the
North pole once meant to me, the
sympathy and confidence of my
fellow men mean more. Fully,
freely and frankly | shall tell you
everything; tell you everything,
and leave the decision with you.
IF after reading my story, you
say Cook is sincere and honest,
Ealf-crazed by months of isolation
and hunger, he believed he reach

Cook declares that at the le
he convinced himself he had dis

He had spent two years in MS
quest and during that time had
endured hunger and privatious

mind. The explorer states that it

demonstrate beyond question that
he has been to the North Pole.

Bantam Hen Raises Brood OF Five
Quail.

Lee Bolts, son of DR.. A. L.
botts, who lives in Glasgow, KY,
has a curiosity in the way of five
almost full-grown quail that were
Matched and raised by a bantam
hen. Young Bolts found dozen
quail eggs one day last summer
while rambling in a field. He
took the eggs home with him and
out them under bantam hen
that had Just become broody. In
due time every egg Matched and
the mother hen started with twelve
young quail. Seven died at diff
ferent stages of their process of
raising. but five lived until the
present time and are full grown,
though they still follow the hen,
being guided bv her cluck and re-
fuse to be "weancd."
The quail are as gentle as the
ordinary fowl. and seem perfectly
contented to remain in the back
yard with the chickens, eating
with them, in fact initiating the
chickens in all of their habits ex-
cept to go on a pole to roost.
This experiment shows conclu-
sively that quail can be domesti-
Gated and further, that with the
same care and attention bestowed
on chickens, they grow much
faster and larger than in their
wild state. The ones in question
would not have been more than
half-grown, whereas they are now
full-grown and large. Two are
males and three are females and
should nothing prevent, Mr.. Bolts
expects 70 materially increase his
quail flock next season.
