Judgment.

When the dread day comes, with
dissolving heat, and we all line up at
the judgment seat, to hear what the
Judge decrees-the quick from their
gilt Of their drawing rooms, the dead
from the dust OF their ancient tonb5,
and those washed up by the seas--I
think that many now smiling here.
who think their titles are written
clear, will find that there was a flaw,
and some who wander in sink or slum,
will enter into kingdom come. that
hypocrite never saw. For the Judge,
he readeth tho hearts of men, and
the things writ there by lifes iron
pen, are strongest Of evidence and
of no avail are the lip-made lies OF
those who would sneak into paradise
through a hole in the southeast fence.

PENNIES A POSTAL pRODLEA
Millions Dropped Into Boxes on Free
Delivery Routs Nuisanee
to Officials.

Cincinnati. Ohio According TO q
notice from Fourth Assistant Postmas-
tel General McGrsw received by Post
w7"ter Monfort. the Post ONCE De.
let rent has quite problem TO con-
tend with. The trouble lies on the
routes OF the rural free delivery car
riers, and as Postmaster Monfort is
iAc disbursing officer OF the payment
OF this class OF government employees
of Ohio. II is OF interest throughout
this State.
IT grows out Of the practice OF pa.
irons depositing coins in the rural
letter boxes for stamp supplies. A
careful tabulation has been kept by
the Post ONCE Department. and it has
been figured that the number OF pen
nies deposited In Such boxes in a week
will average about 115 to each carrier.
ard by computation this has been fig
ured 10 aggregate three hundred mil
hon one cent coins annually.
Postmaster Monfort is instructed
that. as the coins are deposited loose
in the boxes. patrons be induced TO
provide themselves with supplies in
advance. Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General McGraw states that it
should be explained that picking loose
coins from boxes not only results in
needless hardship and suffering in
cold weather and delays the delivery
and collection. but also results in ac-
tual money loss to the carriers on ac-
count of the carriers dropping the
coins in the snow and on the ground
and losing them.

tees representing The $4,000 trainmen

ployes. The proposition offered Monday
