A Hasty Government.

'The postmaster here was removed
the other day for inciyility to the pa
irons Of the Office" said the landlord
Of the tavern. "You see, Lafe Strod-
der asked for his mail and none could
be found, but the postmaster said he
believed there had been q postcard, but
what had become Of it he'd be blamed
If he knew. Lafe is q good deal Of a
crank and that didn't satisfy him, and
they had some words, and the post
master took a shot at LATE that tore
of half Of one of his ears.
"Still, as the postmaster was able to
remember just about what had been
written on the postal card and told it
to Lafe and then didn't shoot off
enough Of his ear to really affect the
hearing it strikes me that the gov'ment
was pretty considerable stringent, as
you might say, about the matter. =

Fuller, two OF the three brothers who
we're shot on last Monday night at Lin
colnia after dance at a colored hall by

feet that tho brothers came to their

HUNTING FOR ROBBERS.
The AssailantS of Mrs. McGlintock
Believed to be White Men---May
Have Come to Alexandria.

The new theory in the assault and
robbery committed upon Mrs. John
McCIintock, IS years old, of AMMAN
dale, Fairfax county, that her assail-
ants were white men disguised as ne.
groes, is rapidly gaining credence in
the neighborhood, although no trace OF
the men can be found.
Constable Walter Foster is inclined
20 that belief since Mrs. McClintock
was interviewed yesterday morning.
She said it was impossible to say
whether her assailauts were white or
| black.
The crime shows every trace of the
professional criminal. The men drove
to within so yards OF the McClintock
home on Saturday night and led the
horse through an opening in the fence
along the Springfield road. From the
appearance Of the ground the horse
was tied to tree more than an hour.
1t is believed the men were aware OF
the fact that the McClintocks lived in
an isolated section and were in the
habit of keeping money in the house.
Hoof prints were traced to the
Springfield road and thence to Cloud
Mills road, which leads to Alexandra.
The roads are not travelled frequently
a-d the route of the horse and buggy
was easily traced until the Little River
turnpike was reached. where the trail
was lost. The hoof prints also indicate
4, that the horse was probably lame in
one foot.
People who live near the McClintock
farm and who attended market in this
city today, say that the thieves upon
entering the house Of the aged couple
first searched the pockets ct Mr.. Nc
Clintock's pantaloan1 and took over a
daiiar therefrom, They then ap-
preached the bed occupied by Mrs
McClintock and told hel they had
killed her husband. One OF them said:
lie wants dat damn money"
1t is believed BY paople iR the neig h.
horhood tbat she robbers weya white
men with blackened faces, and that the
man who addressed Mrs. McClintock
was attempting to initiate negro talk
in the demand he made upon her,

Stefansson left New York on the
present expedition in April, 1908. His
principal purpose was to study the diff
ferent tribes of Eskimo in the North
west and more especially an unknown
tribe living in Victoria Land.
The explorer is about 33 years old,
and a graduate of Harvard University.
He is more than six feet tall, of TO.
bust physique and has devoted many
years to anthropological research par
ticularly among the Eskimos of the
Northwest. Several letters have been
received from him describing his ex-
periences and hardships. The letter
received today was addressed to Her.
bert L, Bridgman, an authority on Arc
tic exploration.
Stefansson was accompanied by Dr.
R. NJ. Anderson of harvard. During
the long dreary journey to the land

with many hardships, the explorer

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Letters re-
ceived here today from Whitman Stef-
ansson, leader of the American Mu-
seum's scientific exedition, which left
in April, 1908, bring news of the dis
covery of a race of people who had
never before beheld either white
man or an Indian.
In his letter, which is dated Mouth
of the Dease River, October IS, 1870"
and is the first intelligence received
from the party within a year, Stefans-
son says;
1--WE have discovered people in a re-
gion supposed to be uninhabited, and
have lived a few months among a
race which had never seen white

navians in appearance.
This find is the beginning of the
solution of one of two problems:
What became of some of Frank
Inns men?
What became of the 5000 Scandi-
navians who disappeared from Green
land in the fifteenth century?
"Or, if neither of these questions is
to be answered, then we have intro
duced a new problem of scientific in
terest:
why do some of the people of Vic
toria Land differ markedly from the
rest of their race? Why are they SO

THE CHILD AND

THE SCHOOL BENCH.
The commencement of the annual
Gripping process of our children will
begin before many weeks have pass
ed. The schools will take from their
beautiful out-of-door play the young
sters-whose vertebrae are made up
to a considerable degree of cartilage,
and are therefore soft and easily
pushed out of shape-and put them in
ill-arranged seats, forcing them to
keep comparatively still, while the SUI
perimposed weight of the upper parts
of the body, combined with the
faulty positions assumed, does its
work of destruction to an extent, MS
regards numbers, not even guessed
by the general public. Statistics show
that a very large percentage of school
children have scoliosis. AS Dr. Royal
Whitman says in his Orthopedic Sur
gerry: Lateral curvature of the spine
is one of the most common of deform-
tiles" and it is increasing in direct
ratio as the school curriculum is be-
coming more eXacting.
A decided change for the better can
be made in our schools. The sessions
should be shorter, and the periods Of
prolonged sitting should be broken up

that of simple moving about in the
