 practicable, sForest Rangers must
 be qualified citizens of the State
 or Territory in with the National
 Forest on which they are appoin-
 ted is situated. Since the list of
 local eligibles must be exhausted
 before eligibles residing iii other
 States can be appointed, the
 chance of citizens of outside who
 go to National Forest States and
 take the examination to secure
 an appointment is small.
 The requirements and duties of Forest Rangers are thus de- scribed in ''The Use Book" :" which contains the regulations and instructions for the use of the National Forests:
 "A ranger of any grade must be throughtly sound and able-bodied. capable of enduring hardships and performing severe labor under trying conditions. He must be able 10 take care of himself and his horses in regions remote from settlement and sup plies. He must be able to build trails and cabins, ride, pack, and deal tactfully with all classes of people. He must know something of land surveying, estimating and sealing timber. logging. land laws. mining. and the livestock business.
 On some Forests the ranger must be a specialist in one or more of these lines of work. Thorough familiarity with the region in which he seeks employ ment, moulding it's geography and it's forest and industrial con- ditions. is usually demanded, al- though lack of this may be SUD- piled by experience in similar re- gions.
 The examlnation of applicants is along the practical lines indi- cated above, and actual demon stration, by performance. is re- quired. Inyalids seeking light out-of-door door employment meet not apply. Experience. not book education, is sought. although ability to make simple maps and writesintelligent reports upon or dinary Forest business is essen tial.
 For duty in some parts of Arizona and New Mexico the ranger must know enough Spanish to conduct Forest busi- ness with Mexicans.
 Where saddle horses or pack horses are necessary in the per formance of their duty. rangers are required to own and maintain them. The Forest Service furn- ishes no personal or horse equip ment,
 Rangers execute the work of the National Forests under the direction of Supervisors. Their duties included patrol to prevent fire and trespass, estimating, surveying, and marking timber. the supervision of cuttings, and similar work. They issue minor permits. build cabins and trails, oversee. grazing business, inves- tigate claims. report upon and arrest for violation of Forest laws and regulations
 The examination will consist of questions regarding the use of he Forest, supplemented by field test to show the applicants itness to do the actual work of a anger. education and experience will be rated on the answers to the questions on those subjects n the application from and on the applicants use of English in he written test. Horses for the ;ests in riding and packing will oe provided by the Forest Sevice.
 The examination IS under the control of the Civil Service Com and not of the Forest

Postmaster JewelI's Compromise After
One Days Trial in Big Cities
Had Aroused Opposition of
the Religious People.

One day in the early summer Of
1874 Postmaster General Marshall
Jewell ushered himself into the office
OF the postmaster of New York city.
He brought with him that abundance
OF physical vitality, the high spirits
and the smile to which was due so
much of his success as a politician,
and which were characteristic of him
Mr.. Postmaster" he said, as he
seated himself, why is it that we
don't have one delivery of mails on
Sundays, at least in the larger cities 2"
suppose 1t is because the post
master general at Washington has
never directed post officers to deliver
mail by carrier on Sunday" was the
reply.
Well, believe that I will order 1t
to be DONE" the postmaster general
answered. Il think it is as much of
necessity as running railway trains
or horse cars. What do you think,
Mr.. Postmaster"
Il think you'll have trouble IL you
issue an order of that kind. 1t will
run counter to the moral convictions
OF religious people. They will oppose
you bitterly, because opposition which
is based upon moral principle is al
ways persistent and strong. The
people who would be benefited by a
Sunday delivery do not care enough
about it to make a strike for It."
i think you are mistaken" said the
postmaster general. Il am going to
Issue an order directing that there be
one Sunday delivery by carrier from
all postofflces Of the first class"
The postmaster general went back
10 Washington and within a day or
two issued the order. 1t occasioned a
great deal Of comment, although the
opposition to 1t was not apparently as
strong as was expected.
Early in the week following the first
Sunday delivery in New York city by
carrier the postmaster of New York
was visited by a committee of which
the distinguished philanthropist, VIII
liam e. Dodge, was the spokesman.
Mr.. Postmaster" said Mr.. Dodge,

greet and establishment that you should

ally a command to break the Lords

chauncey Depew's Interesting Story
Of Horatio Seymour and the
Campaign In New York
State In 1865.

In the year 1865 there was to be a
very important election in New York
state. important partly because it
would be the first to occur after the
close of the Civil war, and, second, be-
cause 1t was thought that the election
would have an important bearing upon
presidential politics. which would be
at their height two and one-half years
later. Chauncey M. Depew had been
elected secretary of state in 1863, the
only popular elective office he ever
held. He was not a candidate for re-
nomination In 1865, and so there came
a spontaneous demand from all over
the state for the nomination of Gen.
Francis G. Barlow as the successor
OF Mr.. Depew as secretary of state.
General Barlow was popular hero at
that time; very dramatic stories were
told of the manner In which he mad
fought at Antietam, Charlottesville,
Gettysburg and Spottsylvania, and
the skill with which he had conduct
ed the more important of the strategic
moves by which General Grant
changed his base in the summer OF
1864 from the Rapidan to the James
River. Moreover. everybody In the
state knew that General Barlow had
twice been dangerously wounded, and
was once picked up for dead. He had
another qualification which appealed
to voters, and that was that he was
one of the youngest generals in the
whole Union army
The Democrats named as their can
didate for attorney general Prince"
John Van Buren,, the very brilliant out
intellectually somewhat cratic son of
Martin Van Buren,. Then the party
leaders sought out Horatio Seymour,
who had been elected governor of
New York in 1862, and who was al
ready regarded as a most available
candidate OF the Democracy for the
presidency In 1868; for 1t was held
that Democrat who had been popu-
lar enough to carry New York state
In the second year of the Civil war
surely had very strong presidential
qualifications.
Said the Democratic leaders to Gov
ernor Seymour: 'Will you GO upon
the stump for the Democratic state
ticket? If you will. we are sure that
we can carry the state"
In any way In which | can serve
my party, will do it." Governor Sey-
mour replied. And he began straight
way what was expected to be a state

wide stumping tour. Then. all of a
sudden something Mapped which
caused Horatio Seymour abruptly TO
abandon the canvass. But what IT
was very few persons have ever
known, and one of the few is Sena-
tor Depew.
When the campaign was getting
under way, was a passenger upon a
steamboat from Albany to New York.

he felt free to tell the reason why
Governor Seymour had abandoned the
Democratic candidacy. 81 found a fell.

Here is his order"
Mr.. Dodge read the order signed by
the postmaster general and turned to
the committee. Il will attend to this
Immediately, he said, and departed
with his companions.
He certainly did attend to It. In
fact he must have got into instant tel

for before the close OF the business
day the postmaster of New York and
probably Of other large cities affected
by the order received a telegram prac-
tically in these words: 1.-THE moral
sentiment of the people is against the
Sunday delivery of letters by carriers.
If we insist upon 1t there will be war
between us and the good people of the
United States. We want to avoid that.
Therefore l request that you make ar
rangements Immediately to hedge by
establishing carrier delivery at
late hour of Saturday night"
The following Saturday night came
the late delivery; and many persons
wondered how it happened that Sun
day delivery by carrier was tried
in the large cities just once, and that
late Saturday pight delivery, which
has continued to this day, was adopt
ed. The explanation is now given for
the first time. 1t was all the result of
a request, tantamount to an order, of
the postmaster general to hedge.

SUMMER HOTEL
DESTROYED
C. E ROPER'S HOUSE AT
FLAT ROCK BURNED,
LOSS $4,000 WITH
$1,000 INSURANCE

Henderson, Vile, May 8.-A
$4,000 fire yesterday morning to-
tally destroyed c. E. Roberts sum-
mer hotel at Flat Rock, two miles
from here. The building, which
was situated on high hill near the
Flat Rock depot, was less than a
year old. and the spectacular blaze
attracted hundreds of spectators.
The building and contents were in
sured for $1,000. The origin of
the fire is unknown.
Mr.. Roper spent last night in
Hendersonville, and the only occu-
pants of the building were his two
sons, who awoke to find the 40
room structure ablaze in many diff
ferent parts. Mr.. Roper would prob
able have sold his hotel Tuesday to
an Atlanta man.
