A Holdup Game Exposed.

Before you pay charges on an express
package again, 1t might be a good idea
to make sure the charges have not been
paid at the other end.
The extent to which the express COM
panies have been robbing the people
by collecting charges at both ends Of
shipment, as revealed before the Inter-
state Commerce commission, is amaz-
ing and outrageous.
In the case one company alone 1t was
shown that it made 5000 over-charges
$3.50 as overcharges.
And In addition to the cases Of over
charging which have come to the at
tention of the commission, 1t is believ-
ed that thousands Of shipments are
paid for at both ends of which the COM
mission never hears, owing to the fact
that the victims do not know they are
being fleeced.
An officer of the company above re-
ferred to admitted that the system EN-
ployed to identify prepaid packages was
faulty, but had no particular apology to
make.

Who Owns a Letter.

Not so long ago it came before
the United States Postoffice au-
thorities to settle the question Of
whether letter once mailed is still
the property of the sender, or be-
longs to the person to whom it is
addressed. The authorities ruled
that the sender was the owner AMI
that a letter does not belong to the
addressee until delivered to him.
Therefore. the writer has right
to reclaim and regain possession Of
any mail matter. provided he can
prove, of course, that he was the
writer of it.
Even after the letter has arrived
at the office, which is its destination,
and before it has been delivered to
the addressee, it may be recalled by
the writer by telegraph through the
mailing office.
The Postoffice regulations require,
of course. that the strictest care be
taken by the postmaster at the office
of mailing to ascertain that the per-
son who desires to withdraw the let
ter is really the one who Is entitled
to do SO. and the postmaster is re-
sponsible for his error IL he delivers
the letter to an imposter or to ar
unauthorized person.
1t Is a very rare case though
where a sender has been able to Sc
cure his letter when 1t is mailed te
person in the same city in which
it il posted. At the present day the
system Of handling the mail Is OF
such a rapid nature. that 1t spends
very little time in the postoffice. be-
fore 1t Is In the hands Of lettel

POLICE ARREST DIR. CRAPsEY.
Former Episcopal Clergyman Now
Socialist, Charged With Vagrancy.

ROCHESTER, June 29.-Dr. Algernon S.
Crapseys who started to walk from New
York city across the state, lecturing
along the way, finished his tour at Dun
kirk late Thursday night. AS he was
looking into a shop window while waiting
for a train to take him to his home in
Rochester he was arrested. charged with
yagrancy. This was new experience for
DR.. Crapsey, who, while in charge of the
"a shionable parish of St. Andrews. was

After his arrest in Dunkirk he was
taken to the police station. Here, he says
he was abused by the sergeant in charge
and by the officer who made the arrest.
He alleges that they used proIane and
abusive language.

conscience, and have no timor Of their
own modesty.
It should be remembered that the very
finest quality of courage. and the keen
edge of true love, is pure fear. The
bravest soldier Is afraid to run. the no.
blest lover is afraid to be unworthy.
These two kinds Of fear are brought out
in the Bible. On the one hand 1.-The fear
of the Lord" Is spoken Of as a most COM
mendable thing. the fountain Of morals.
1.-The beginning Of wisdom" On the other
hand, we are told that perfect love
casteth out fear and we are exhorted
not to fear God, but to boldly approach"
Which is easily understood II We per-
ceive the two qualities OF fear. That
which is commended Is that sensitive.
trembling fear which Is always the little
sister to a great and pure love.
That which Is condemned is that craven
fear that has no advice for US but to
urge us to flee.
Centripetal is the other side Of love.
Centrifugal fear is the other side Of hate
or repugnance.
II love you / am afraid of you. II
hate you fear you. But they are two
different feelings.
The iove-fear is that of the lover to-
ward his beloved, the child toward his
mother. the soul toward God: the hate
fear is that Of the criminal toward the
policeman, OF class against class, of feuds
and grudges, and Of the life that loves
evil toward the Lord OF life.

Two Kinds of Fear.
BY DR.. Frank Crane.

There are two kinds Of fear. centripetal
and centrifugal. One kind draws me to
you: the other pushes me from you.
The noblest quality Of love is always
accompanied by fear
No man loves his wife duly unless he
fears to do what would bring upon him
her contempt or aversion.
No woman loves her husband as she
should unless there are pits of fear all
around her love, things she is afraid to
do.
You have noticed how. when a young
fellow falls In love, he is full Of trem-
blings and breads. He is as frightened
as q child in the dark Twill she scorn
me for this? And what will she think
of me for doing that?''
A propert self-respect is impossible
without self-fear. George Washington, in
the cherry tree episode, was afraid to tell
a lie: afraid not Of punishment, but of
himself
This Is Tennyson's meaning in the lines:
lowered with the hate Of hate. the scorn Of
.scorn.
The love Of love.
Many persons fall into grievous error
by not understanding this. They think
all fear Is weakness, any timidity is ig-
noble. Hence they imagine they should
be bold and fearless toward their own
