He was a jolly old tar OF the first water,
and what he didn't know about boating
and boating parties wasn't worth consider
ing. He was never at sea for an idea how
TO make more money or get the most out
of those who patrontzed his boat; so when
he rowed out party of women to the
Smugglers Retreat. as he pleased 20 caIi
a small cave that you could hardly Jam a
little BOY into, he paused on his oars ana
smiled affably at his fair customers.
Now, ladies" he said. with a nautical
smile, we've reached Consideration

How Interestingly" murmured the ladies.
What does it meant" asked one.
We'll, mum, it's just like this" said the
old salt. Between the cave and this boat
we're in there's lot of sunken rocks--big
jagged things that 'ud rip up this old craft

stop and say whether they'll pay 80 cents
to go the safe and long way round OF
whether they'll only give % cents each and
risk being drowned. Which way shall Il

And once again the jolly old tar secured
his 80 cents.--New York Herald.

private postoffce through which every let
ter received or sent relative to rural de-
livery must pass.
Every one of the half million and more
letters sent from this department is copied
for record by n mechanical system, which
saves the labor Of a hundred copying clerks
even where the hand copying press or the
carbon method has been employed. A force
Of only seventeen clerks is needed in this
section, vet In addition to handling and
copying mail they keep daily record Of
all outlay for postage expenses of the de-

be returned to. the postoffice where they
should have been directed.
What the service does in receiving APP
plications for new routes, petitions for car
riers, decisions of the department, the pay
ments and receipts, is told By the postoffice
newspaper. Published every day by the
accounting section, II is a record of what
every one in this postal counting house,
including the assistant postmaster general
himself is doing, Every important item of
statistics is tabuiated in type.
The esprit de corps of the rural free
delivery is best shown by the last annual
report During the year 1t states that out
of me 1900 in the service the total dis
missals for cause were only 1.65, less thar
the total number of deaths.
The reasons for the dismissals were, prin

and as yet we arc only beginning to under
stand the possible uses the motor car can
he put to, to advantage. We have seen an
industry spring up In a night as it were
and move from nothing to a position OF
probably fifth in Importance among the
great Industries OF this country and In the
brief period OF less than ten years.
There is another interesting phase. 1t
has been said that the motor car in France
affords employment to more people than
any other line, and in America we arc en-
ploying directly and indirectly more people
than they are 1t has set II new mark in
the consumption OF rubber. 1t requires
hundreds Of thousands OF hides per year for
upholstering. 1t is safe to say that the
motor car builders are furnishing the great
est number Of orders placed with our ma
chfnery builders. and the development OF
the most modern devices TO facilitate pro-
duction and Standardization Is directly at
tributable to the motor car builder.
SO that 1t can be seen that the motor car
has not only been forcing recognition, but
its requirements have reached out in vari-
Gus channels until 1t has become a great
and constantly growing factor to the eco

SELLING RACES FOR AUTOMOBILES
Horse Racing Plan in Auto Contests
in California.

Selling races for automobiles may be IN
augurated at the Los Angeles Motordrome
after this first big meet and, II successiui
in the beginning should prove big factor
both in the racing game and in the disposai
of cars.
In horse racing the SELLING platter II
classical and two-thirds of the races are OF
the selling" kind. All horses entered III
the race are given a certain selling value.
IL a horse wins he is put up at auction ana
the bids must start at the entry price. IL
the owner desires to retain the animal ne
overbids every one else and must pay the
association the difference between his bid
and the entry price.
To apply this system to auto racing Is
asy according to those who have STUDIED
tho automobile game. Nlne-tenths or the
auto races are for stock cars-that Is,
cars that have been turned out 70 be -sofd
at the regular listed retail price and Whlch
have not been especially built for racing
Persons who have been evolving scheme
to apply the selling race to cars would open
the bidding to the public instead or haYlng
owners try to buy each others cars. In an
auto selling rice the owners would enter
their cars to be sold at price to suit them
selves II the selling price is below the list
price or equal to it. a winner is almost sure
TO be sold on the spot; If the price is above
! the last figures, the public can assure IT.
| self that the car Is especially built as a
racer; IL tho owner bids in the car at a
higher figure than the public will bid, II
may show his affection for the racer, and
he will have to pay the difference into the
association or the purse OF the race, to be
distributed to the other drivers
There has been a great deal Of discussion
on the reliability of the stock car races
and many charge that the majority Of the
cars are especially prepared for racing A
stock car may be tuned" without losing Its
stock qualities. but when parts are rein
forced or replaced and new features added
n car loses its stock qualities and becomes
n racing car.-Chicago Record-Herald.

SANDERS SHINING MARK.

HERE was pathetic scene at Covington, Ky,
n the other day Not so many years ago John
G. Carlisle was one of the most prominent men
in the country. He served AS representative IN
Congress from Kentucky district. He was
speaker of the House when the Democrats were
in control He was United States Senator He
was voted for for the Democratic nomination for
president at several Democratic conventions He
was Secretary of the Treasury under President
Cleveland and went through the stormy times OF
the Cleveland administration which were followed
by the split in the Democratic party a division
from the effects of which the party has just re-
covered
During those trying days Mr.. Carlisle ac-
cused of being the tool of Wall street He lost his
friends in Kentucky and elsewhere His good
name was attacked. II was ntmated that he had
gotten rich The tongue of scandal wagged in
cessantly about him.
At the end of the Cleveland administration he
went to New York city where he lived in compara-
tive obscurity and as it now seems, poverty. Mr..
Carlisle died some time ago and his body taken
to Washington. Ii removed to Covington, the
other day. The body Of this former United States
Senator and Secretary of the Treasury was hauled
from the railroad station TO the undertaker's es-
tabliShment in an express van, and money TO pay
for the expenses Of burial contributed by
those who knew him only by reputation. A col
lection also taken among the citizens of Gov
ington and only by that means was Mr.. Carlisle's
body saved from paupers grave. There we're
neither friends relatives to arrange for the
burial, and there one to meet the casket.
Where we're the chivarous Kentuckians who hon
ored Carlisle in days past? 1t is almost impos-
sible to believe the truth of the account of Mr.
Carlisles interment
But lesson can be drawn from it all Often
public men are unjusty accused of doing this or
that for the sake of personal greed or gain. They
have been falsely accused. They may be almost
in poverty, but they bear their own burden Of un-
just accusations in silence
Mr. Carlisle had many opportunities to become
rich, TO be millionaire many of his fellow col
leagues in the Senate we're, but he was not

a modest fortune That was David Bennett Hill
OF New York State Ii is said that he did not

much. Yet Hill, if he we're personally corrupt.
could have died a rich man. If he had cared for
money he could have died rich man in view OF
his opportunities without being corrupt.

MIR. HITCHCOCKs GOOD WORK.

HERE has been some talk about Postmaster
- General Hitchcock resigning from the cabi-
net, but he has made so hne a record that Mr..
Taft will not be likely to let him 60 Nor only has
Mr. Hitchcock by his wise management reduced
the postal deficit, but he has made a great name
IN waging war on unscrupulous adventurers who
use the mails for the purpose of defrauding in
nocent persons who are lured TO part with their
savings by the temptation to invest in fraudulent
enterprises. The postofice department is prov
ing 70 be one OF the best managed departments
Of the governmental service At one time it was
thought that Mr.. Hitchcock would be merely a
political postmaster general who would build up a
large machine based on Federal patronage with
the sole idea OF renominatng Mr.. Taft for presi-
dent. But Mr.. Hitchcock has proved to be far
different kind of man. He has devoted his time
chiefly 10 improving the service Of the govern
ment. The placing of a large number of additional
postmasters under the Civil Service has DESTROYED
the hope Of politicians that the department would
be political machine.
AS result OF his investigations, of the using of
the mails for illegal purposes, Mr.. Hitchcock is
convinced that the public has been fleeced out of
hundred millions of dollars in the last five years
through circulars and letters offering investments
based upon false representations.
Seventy-fve persons have been arrested for this
prostitution of the mail service and more are being
gathered in almost daily. The astonishing thing
about 1t is that so large number of dupes can be
found who part with their money on the repre-
sentations of strangers that they will earn huge
dividends on small amount invested. These gull
ble persons refuse to profit by the experience of
others. For one who may get rich quick by some
lucky stroke of fortune, dozen are sadder and
wiser and poorer in purse after they have had

This company is the peer of any
stock organization in this country;

DON'T CHANGE THIS LAW.

TT THE first rumor Of new legislation can be
Il taken as an indication of the nature OF the
bills TO be presented TO the incoming General
Assembly that body will have to be on its guard
frcs. the beginning to see that no pernicious law
is enacted.
The FIRST subject is an old one, proposal to
have the Governor create an Excise Board which
shall grant liquor licenses
We NAV assume that the Governor IN such an
event would appoint good and reputable men, out
no matter what persons might be appointed, they
would not be better qualified to discharge the I'M
portant function Of issuing liquor licenses than
the present judges are The chances are nine out
OF ten that they would not be so we'll quahhed
For some years the question OF an Excise BOARD
has been agitated but all schemes for such body
have failed, and it is to be hoped that they VIII
fail at the coming session Of the Legislature. The
object of an excise board we believe is TO get the
granting OF licenses into politics just where that
matter should not be.
Every man interested in the liquor traffic and
every man interested in the prevention OF the sale
of liquor, we should think, would unite on this one
point--that of opposing any effort TO take the
granting of licenses from the courts and the plac-
slg Of such authority in the hands OF an Excise
Board.
We trust this suggestion OF an Excise Board is
not a sample of similar legislation that may be pro-
posed ANY Legislature which should change the
existing law in this respect would have TO answer
to the people at the polls.
We should not take step backward. Goodness
knows that we proceed slowly enough in getting
wise legislation in Delaware but it would be un-
fortunate il we should have 10 devote our time to
putting obstacles behind the wagon of State TO
keep it from slipping down hill
