DODGE THE POSTAGE STAMP
Foreign Countries DeVising Schemes
for Benefit of Large Users
of the Mails.

Any man who can devise a practi-
cal substitute for the postage stamp
will deserve the gratitude of every
large business house in the world, and
may earn a large fortune. For the
labor of affixing stamps to their enor-
nous mail necessitates in some firms
the employment Of a special clerical
staff
In the postoffices of some countries
steps in this direction have already
been taken. Here, for instance, news
papers and magazines are mailed by
their publishers in bulk without
stamps, and the postage is paid in a
lump sum Of one cent a pound Then,
again, some firms that send out large
quantities of circulars register them
selves under a certain number at the
postofflce, their envelopes are printed
with this number and the circulars so
mailed are paid for in bulk. In Ba-
varia large consignments of letters
may merely be postmarked by ma
chinery and sent without stamps, the
postage fee being paid in a lump sum
at the time OF mailing. 1t is said that
since February l. 1910, this system
has saved the Bavarian postofice the
expense for paper and the printing
cost for 100000 stamps
A writer in the Umschau, Ger
man publication, suggests further de-
velopment OF this system along the
lines Of a meter, like those used for
water, gas and electricity, In which
the letters would be placed and auto
matically stamped with a postmark.
the machine recording each letter so
mailed. These machines would be In
spected periodically and the bills col
lected, just as are those of the con-
sumner of gas or water.

HARD BATTLE FOR THE DOG
Sport Killed the Big Bob Cat, but He
Suffered Severely In the
Combat.

After battle in which he came near
meeting death himself, Sport, a me-
dunn sized coach dog, the property OF
w. M. Butterbaugh, rancher living
In Lemp's Gulch, Idaho, killed a bob
cat that measured six feet from nose
to tip of tail.
The dog was terribly scratched and
bitten and has not yet entirely recov,
cred. He was mauled by the long,
sharp claws Of the big cat and in some
places the scratches are deep, dig
ging clear to the bone. The cat would
weigh half again as much as the dog,
and lowered above him In height.
Mr.. Butterbaugh did not see the
fight, but arrived on the scene short,
ly after the dog had killed the cat
and found his faithful friend lying on
the ground, unable to move. and
scarcely living. It looked at the time
like a bad case, but he succeeded in
nursing the animal back to life.
For some days we had been miss
ing chickens" Mr.. Butterbaugh said,
and | was unable to figure out what
was Killing them. / would get up In
the morning and find one or two lying
dead in the barnyard, still warm, and
| could not tell what sort Of an animal
was doing the mischief.
But Sport figured It out, and one
morning / heard him take out after
something. got up as soon as could
and followed up the gulch, expecting
that they would take that trail. When
l got there found the dog lying on
the ground and the big cat dead.
THE dog had chased him up there,
but the cat had turned on him and
shown fight They must have fought
there Is minutes before the battle
was settled. And from the looks of
both the cat and the dog It must have
been a terrible battle"

AS A MAN SHOULD ANSWER
For Once New Yorker Rose to tho
Occasion and Was There With
Apt Response.

Two men somewhat alike as to
build, dress and general appearance
entered an upper West side restau-
rant within a few minutes of one an
other the other evening, says the New
York Press. They were also alike and
not different from the average New
Yorker in burying themselves in news
papers as soon as they had chosen
tables.
Presently there entered we'll
dressed, good-looking woman, some
what in hurry, if one were to Judge
from her manner, and a trifle dis
trait. CHANGING hastily around the
room, she seated herself at the table
which one of the men had selected.
He merely lifted his eyes from his
paper for an instant, in the disinter-
ested manner New Workers adopt, and
fell to reading again, while the wom-
an seized the menu card and began
studying 1t. 1t took her couple Of
minutes to decide what she wanted.
Having found it, she laid her hand on
the arm Of the man. AS he looked up
at her a curious expression came over
her face.
"Why-why, you're not my husband,
are your" she gasped.
Il am sorry, madam" he replied
CALAMITY, that l am not"
Then both Of them laughed, which
aroused the man at the other table
from his paper long enough to permit
him to announce himself.

OBITUARY

Mrs. Mary j. Zetrouer, nee Bridges,
was born in Floyd county, Georgia,
November &c, 1910, and departed this
life December 2eth, 1910. aged 20
years and IL months. She was con-
verted and Joined the NJ. E. church,
south, in the twelfth year of her age.
Her father, Rev. ]. NJ. Bridges, moved
to Florida in the winter of 1852. On
january 10Th, 1853, he arrived in Mic
anopy, where his family remained
while he rode the circuit for about
six months, when he removed to Ma
rion county, where he remained until
1867, when he removed to Live Oak.
Sister Zetrouer was married to
Brother James G.. Zetrouer in 1860,
which happy union brought to their
home six children, one being Mrs.
Britt, deceased. The remaining five
Mrs. Ida G.. Harrod of Gainesville. and
Miss Mary G.. Zetrouer, Mr.. j. r. Zet-
rouer and Mr.. d. r. Zetrouer, who re-
side near Micanopy. She was sister
of Rev. F. G. Bridges of the Florida
conference.
Although for several years deeply
afflicted. she sought every possible
opportunity to attend the services in
her church. She loved her pastors,
and in her younger years they found
a loving welcome in her home, and
this part of her mantle has fallen on
her children. The writer knew her
only few weeks before her death,
and at that time there was some hope
of her partial recovery. and her chill
dren were then planning to give a
family celebration of their parents
fiftieth wedding anniversary. which
would have occurred on the day of
her burial How true it is that I'm the
midst of life. we are in death"
Her remains were laid to rest in
Oak Ridge cemetery, near Rochelle
The services were conducted by the
writer. in the absence of her pastor.
A large gathering of weeping loved
ones, aged friends of her youth and
acquaintance of the family accom-
panied us. How many of us expect to
prove worthy to join her in the sor-
rowless, painless and sinless home?

The retail merchants of the south
ern states will hold a four days con-
vention in Nashville, beginning on
February 2Sth, and continuing through
March 3rd, for the purpose of consid-
ering the parcels post bill, now pend
ing before the United States congress,
in relation to its effect on their bust
ness. Though the movement as def
nitely launched is hardly more than a
week old, more than 5000 retailers
throughout the southern states have
signed the call for the convention, and
the number of signers would have
been much larger but for the fact that
the work of presenting the situation
to the retailers throughout the large
territory was necessarily slow.

HOTEL MEN TO BE PROTECTED

Protection of hotel men in cashing
checks of travelling men is the SUBJ
ject of a paper by Dick Townsend Of
Peoria, Ill.,, read at a convention of
the Kansas-Missouri Hotel Mems AS
ISOLATION at st. Louis and printed in
the Mid-Winter Hotel Reporter. Mr..
Townsend referred to the work done
by Mr. Dutton of Denver and Mr..
Taggart of Omaha in behalf of the
hotel proprietors of the country in
the effort to protect them from the
consequences of cashing worthless
paper.
Although the chief purpose of the
talk was to advocate a system of
credit letters that would enable a
travelling man to cash a check or
draft at hotel with no question from
the hotel proprietor as to the genui-
neness of the signature, Mr.. Townsend
referred to the good that might be
accomplished through a closer union
