IF she makes the request that it

regarded, because il is the one article
she possesses i'm which eXclusiveness Is
much coveted, and also because what

"A squaw win Initiate almost any
thing that pleases her fancy, but i'm the
matter of her blanket or shawl she eX-
hibits an unusual amount of individ-

THE lightweight shawl or blanket is
thrown over the head of the squaw.

and surprises are what the prisoners
enjoy most of all.
Then the sheriff always manages TO

made as pleasant for them as possible
There viii be religious service and the
day Will pass all too soon for those
who have many days 10 look forward

they are shown i'm a great many diff

death of a railway postal clerk i'm the
line of duty. Ii is shown that the in
creasing use of labor saving machinery
I'm the modern city postoffice makes
greater the liability to accidents. In
the office at New York alone four en-
ployees have been killed and sixty -four
incapacitated since 1905 as the result
of injuries received i'm the performance
of their duty, yet it has not been pos
sible for the Department to afford
them or their families any assistance.
1t is earnestly recommended that an
appropriation of $4,000 be made to re-
ward postal employees who present to
the Department patented devices or
processes that may prove of value To
the service.
Holiday and Sunday Work.
1t is the policy of the Department
as shown by the report. not to require
any more work in the postoffices on
Sundays and holidays than is abso-
lutely necessary. To this end an en-
deavor is being made to bring about a
greater degree OF uniformity in the
amount OF Sunday work in postoffices
and to provide for one day of rest in
seven for each of the employees. DR..
Grandfield says:
There is a very strong sentiment
throughout the country I'm favor Of
the discontinuance of the delivery Of
mail on Sundays, and this sentiment
should be respected. III the plan of
discontinuing entirely Sunday service
by letter carriers which is now being
tried in n number of the larger cities.
where the sentiment OF the communi-
ties is strongly In favor of Sunday
closing. proves practicable, II would
seem that the desired result may be
a attained without legislation"
A renewal of the recommendation
that a thirty days leave of absence
with pay be allowed postoffice clerks
and city letter carriers is made. Under
existing law not exceeding fifteen
days leave of absence with pay may
he allowed clerks and carriers.
From the view point of economy
and efficiency i'm the service Congress
is urged In the report TO take action
