TO REVISE secoNocLAss RATES
Mr.. Hitchcock Doubtful About Allow

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
privately and publicly expressed
strong views as to some publications
which are issued periodically and
which make a speciality Of advertising
matter, and has expressed doubt
whether such publications ought to
be permitted to pass through the
mails at second class rates.
Those in close touch with him ex-
press the view that he has no inten.
ton of recommending the enactment
OF a law which would in any way cur
tail the publication of legitimate
newspapers and periodicals. The
statement was made that Mr.. Hitch

newspapers which carry more than
fifty per cent of advertising be refus'
ed admission to the mails as second
class matter, before the Illinois Daily
Press association by its president,

A YARN OF THE JUNGLE
Thrilling Adventure With Balloons
in East Africa

III Edoh FNlifNo
According TO the crew Of the Brit
ism freighter Kassenga, which arriv-
ed at New York the other day from
Calcutta. a midshipman named g. W.
Greggs had thrilling adventure
with balloons in East Africa that Will
make him careful about walking at
night in tropical jungles In the fu'
ture. says the New York Times.
While the ship was lying alongside
the pier at Mombassa. where Col.
Roosevelt landed for his expedition
Greggs took a moonlight walk inland
one fine night. He heard the zebras
calling to their first born and the sec
rotary birds high up in the palm
trees, keeping a lookout for wild ami
mails that might come down from the
nearby hills.
The sailor had a small revolver
with him and did not feel afraid. The
fascination OF the moonbeams shin
ing through the rich tropical foliage
lured him TO 90 further from the
shore than he had intended. He was
about to turn back when TO his as
constituent he suddenly found him
self surrounded by small army OF
balloons of all sizes. They chartered
to each other and pulled and pushed
him through the dense underground
into the thick OF the jungle to what
appeared TO be their camp There
they we're met by more balloons
which swung down by their tails
from the mango trees aud peered
into the midshipman's face to see
what he was like.

group OF friends on his return recent
" from the Lone Star state.
We have q roundup on my ranch
about twice a year. The cattle do not
see q human being for perhaps
months at a time, and as . result are
pretty wild" continued Mr.. Gray.
The cowboys form a large circle and
gradually begin to drive the cattle in.
When the different herds are driven
into one large circle the work. of
branding begins.
"A>round-up, however, sometimes
lasts for two weeks or more, and the
task OF keeping the cattle together il
not an easy one At night they be-
come restless and II they are allowed
to move too much 4 stampede IL
likely.
THE method Of keeping the cattle
quiet was discovered in a unique way
several years ago. During one of the
round-ups the cattle were more than
ordinarily restless. A large force Of
cowboys were kept guarding the cir
Gle despite the fact that they had all
helped with the branding during the
day The next day the work was not
done half SO well because Of the loss
of sleep from which the men suffered.
That evening one Of thu cowboys
who had been with US only q few
months and who had come frora the
east rode out and began to circle the
cattle The other men we're eating
supper. and. being lonesome, the east
began singing a melodious tune.
After a few minutes a COW droTpci
down on her side to sleep. followed by
her calf, One by one the others pre-
pared to resi- for the night, and within
a half hour there was no possibility
of a stampede and no need Of a heavy
guard. The other cowboys flashed
their supper and, mounting their
horses. went out to begin the tedious
task of watching the cattle. When
they arrived they saw that mos: OF
the cattle were lying down. so they
withdrew a few yards to watch the
animals and their partner. who was
still riding around the circle singing.
When told later on of the feat he
had accomplished the cowboy was an.
cry, believing that he was being
'joshed.' but soon he was convinced
there was no joke, and now instead Of
throwing a heavy guard around the
cattle one Of the men simply rides
around for about Lalf an hour and
sings and the cattle 60 to sleep.
