overcome the failing for the sake o1
your own health and peace Of mind try
to do so for the sake of the man you
will certainly render wretched one Of
these days. 1t is said that no woman
has a proper sense Of proportion. The
fussy woman certainly hasn't. On her
horizon trifles loom like battleships.
She never recognizes what really mat.
tiers and what is unimportant. As q
worker the fussy woman is always q
failure. She neither gets through al
much work nor allows others to do so,
Like high stepping horse, she is al
action, yet makes but little progress
Nevertheless business will age her b.

HUMOROUS CUPS
Guessing.

First asked her II she loved me-
And she shyly hung her head,
And her cheeks took on q mantle ;,
OF luscious rosy red.
Then she dropped her eyes q trife.
Meath her lashes darkly hid.
And she murmured In q whisper
That she really guessed she did.
Then asked her would she wed me.
And her bushes came once more.
And the sigh that then she uttered
Thrilled me to the very core. :.
] repeated then the question,
And her answer II was good,
For the whisper that came tripping
Showed she surely guessed she would.
But, alas she wed another
Ere the winter season went,
And sought an explanation
What her ways flirtatious meant
And again there came the bushes
And the same old thrill Of pain
As she gave the same old whisper
That she guessed she'd guessed again.

There is no people in the world
which more quickly recognizes and
appreciates the qualities of frankness
and sincerity, whether they are ex-
hibited in a friend or in an opponent,
in a white man or in black man,
than the white people of the South.
I have found that there is a class
that has gained good deal of fleet
ing popularity for possessing what was
supposed to be courage in cursing and
abusing all classes of Southern white
people on all possible occasions. But
as have watched the careers of this
class Of Negroes in practically every
case their popularity and influence
with the masses Of colored people
have not been lasting.

POSTAL DEPARTMENT
MAY CONTROL WIRELESS

Washington What may prove to
be the entering wedge for control of
all wire communications in the coun-
try by the postoffice department is
found in the proposition to transfer all
the duties of the signal corps. of the
army in Alaska to the postmaster gem
erals department
In Alaska the signal corps maintains
and operates an elaborate system of
telephone. telegraph and wireless
communications. There are about rs
stations. cables, land wires and wire
less, with a mileage Of LIPS on land
and 1888 by cable. There are nine
wireless stations. These stations
handle not only the government traf-
fic but the commercial and press as
well. The receipts of the Alaskan
stations amounted during the last
year to more than S218,0O0. The en-
listed men of the signal corps handle
all this money without the loss of
cent, according to Brigadier Gener-
al James Allen. who describes the
system in his annual report.
Owing to the shortage of men in
the signal corps, it is proposed to turn
this entire business over to the post
office department. Congress will be
asked to authorize the change
