FORCE
HAS ITS HANDS FULL
All Mail Matter Must be Counted for
Thirty Days.

The present month gives promise
Of being one of the most strenuous
in the history of the present office
force in Tempe. An order of the
department requires much additional
work during the month Of May. This
order demands the counting of all
mail that arrives at and leaves the
office. II must be counted by classes
and on the rural routes must not
only he counted but must also be
weighed. The carriers now have
their hands pretty well filled for the
amount of mail handled, and the route
has increased wonderfully the past
few years. and this additional work
for the months will keep them still
buster
1t is not thought that the counting
will delay the opening of the general
delivery window to any extent The
morning train now arrives an hour
earlier than it used to and this Will
give plenty of time for the distribu-
ton and the counting of the mail
before the regular opening hour, eight
o'clock.

2 DICKENS DIDN'T PUBLISH.

Here is chance for the book
hunter who turns over the odd vol
umes on a roadside stall or in an
outside box marked "All these I'd
each. There is in existence. says the
Strand, little book containing three
very rare and early productions Of
Charles Dickens Sketches of Young
Couples" Sketches of Young Gentle
men" and Sunday Under Three
Heads"
The volume containing these three
slight things. which are not now in
cluded among Charles Dickens works.
was written in 1898 and is worth
about 1925. 1t is quite possible that
someone who reads these words may
possess one or more of these three
little pieces by Dickens, and if so let
him count his possession as a valu-
able one.
These finds do still happen. Only
a few years ago, and within my own
knowledge, an original copy of the
first edition of Goldsmith's Vicar Of
Wakefield" was included in a local
auctioneer among a miscellaneous
and rubbishy lot of other books
which sold-to his amazement-nOt
for the three or four shillings ex-
pected by the auctioner, but for S215.
SO be on the lookout for the little
Dickens volume
Arizona republican., 1911-05-02

by the case of John Morrison, a
Yorkshire carpenter, who, although
his wages had never exceed 35s a
week, has been able to leave behind
him the substantial sum of 5000
pounds, every penny of it the fruits
of saving, says Parsons Weekly
Impossible the sceptic says, and no
wonder, for such feat seems to Dor
der on the miraculous. And yet it was
really quite simple, as John Morrison
used to declare. When he married,
little over forty years ago he
looked around to see what economies
he could effect He found that he
had been spending at least six shil-
ings week on beer and tobacco;
these he could very well dispense
with. That meant a weekly saving
of five shillings, or 13 pounds a year.
And this was the nucleus OF his for
tune
\ few weeks later his wages were
raised from 80 shillings to 80 shillings
weekly. He could rub along without
the extra five shillings weekly and
was able to put by % pounds a year.
When his savings had amounted to
100 pounds he bought two cottages,
borrowing three-fourths of the pur-
chase money and paying off the loan
out of the rents. He was a man of
property now. The appetite for thrift
took full possession of him. He was
fond of gardening, and he decided to
turn his hobby and his spare time
into money. He rented half an acre
of land; his wife opened a shop for
the sale of produce, and the first year
he was able To increase his savings
to one pound a week, with which in
two years time he was able to buy
two more houses.
And what John Morrison could do,
and did, others have done. Only a
few weeks ago Il working man con-
fessed in a court of law that he had
already saved coo pounds out of
wages which had never exceeded 80
shillings a week. How did you do
it?" asked the magistrate. by a lit
tie self-denial, your worship" the
man answered, and then proudly ad-
dcd: And I've brought up four chill
dren, too, and now there's only me
and the wife. I'm going To buy an
annuity with it, which they say will
come to over 20 pounds year"
In another case known to the writer
a London policeman managed to save
$50 pounds during the first dozen
years of his married life. This sum
he deposited in a bank. from which
he secured a loan for the purchase of
a block of weekly property. which he
bought at a bargain. The rents, in
process of time, paid not only the in
terest but the principal of the loan.
The repairs he executed himself in
his spare time, and long before he
was sixty he was in the enjoyment
of a clear income of 250 pounds year
from his property, which had cost him
nothing but the initial saving of ESQ
pounds.
In still another case, reported from
Lancashire, factory operative pre-
scented himself one day recently be-
fore his foreman and asked him To ac
cept a weeks notice. The foreman,
who knew that the man had never

A CURE FOR THE BLUES.

What! Moping just because the skies
Are dull and dark, and gray?
Detected. long faced just because
The rain beats down today?
Why, bless you, child 1t doesn't help,
To let the tears drip too.
Just wipe your eyes and look around
For some good work to do.
There's nothing helps when you are
blue
Like helping set things right.
Kind service fills the darkest day
With sweetness and with light,
And when you're feeling out OF sorts
The very wisest plan
Is to find out what others want
And help them all you can.
So look around and study up
Some helpful thing to do;
You'll find that cheering others lives
Will brighten life for you.
Look up the real unfortunates,
And ease their aches and pains.
And while you feel you're doing good
You'll never know il rains.
