Rural Mail Carriers Bearers Of Sig
nails Indicating Stormy or Fair.

uasO s"S'S~ssuS SH0stu/ Ut aus
Washington, June 14-To extend the
United States weather bureau service
to the rural districts, by making every
rural mail carrier herald Of official
predictions, is the idea Of Representa-
tive McHenry. democrat, Of Pennsyl-
vania, who has introduced bill to that
effect.
McHenry proposes In his bill to have
every vehicle in the rural mail delivery
service equipped with ags denoting
weather predictions for the day. Rural
mall wagons thus, in leaving their
starting point each day, would fly from
their tops hags which would indicate
to every, farmer and country resident
the opinion Of tho government fore
caster as to what kfe weather would
be for the next twenty-four hours.
Suspension or dismissal from service
is fixed in the bill as the penalty for
failure or refusal Of a rural carrier to
comply with its terms. -.

Proof of His Generosity

literature before her. The subject for
the day YVES Gray's 'Elegy." She had
asked the class TO bring in questions
On the life of Gray. These questions
were to be deposited in box which
was to be opened before the class and
each question read aloud. If no one
could answer 1T the one who contrib
uted 1t was to be called ON for the an
Bwer.
The first slip drawn out contained
this:
Give proof of Gray's generosity"
The teacher thought of what a re-
cluse Gray had been and of how little
interest he had ever shown in his fel
lows, and she wondered how any one
could have received the impression
that he was generous.
Every one looked blank, and no one

letters and Postage Stamps.

Strange ideas. some people have
about postage. said the clerk who
opens the mail. YES. See this letter
here with three one-cent stamps on ii
and stamped / cent due? That's a
case In point. The writer Of that let
ter thought that perhaps 1t weighed a
little over an ounce, little more than
would go for 2 cents. and so he put on
a little more postage cent more
which he thought would cover it,when
the fact Is that 1t required an add
tional two cent stamp. OF course you
know that letter postage is not frac-
uonal, but that 1t goes In multiples of
two. II a letter weighs ever so little
over an ounce 1T requires an additional
two cent stamp. But not everybody
seems to know this. and SO we. some
times get letters like this one with 8
little more postage for little more
weight. York Sun
