No Strangers Allowed.

Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmaster
general of the United States, takes the
deepest interest in even the smallest
details of the postal service. One eve
ming he was at the Union station in
Washington, when he decided to go
into one Of the railway mail-service
cars to see how the mail matter was
being handled. Being a tall man and
very athletic, he easily swung himself
from the platform into the car, but he
did not find 1t an easy matter to stay
put. A burly postal clerk grabbed
him by the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practi-
cally elected him to the platform be
low.
What do you mean by that?" ask
ed Hitchcock Indignantly.
II mean to keep you out of this
car" replied the clerk roughly. THAT
fellow Hitchcock has given US strict
orders to keep all strangers out of
these cars."-Popular Magazine.

futile are ordinary devices to draw
the crow to a spot where a man witt
a gun is lying In ambush, the Mary
land farmers, so they told me, Ions
ago discovered the value of the bubc
owl as an aid in this respect. To take
advantage of the aid of the bubo the
farmer must first get the bubo.
"The bubo is no fool himself, ant
it is no easy trick to get him-that
is, to get him alive, for he would be
of no service dead. The native dwell
ers back in the hills have a way
though of trapping the bubo by means
of a live chicken used in collabora'
ton with a box trap, and they manage
to supply the farmers to some ex
tent with these owls, although, they
tell me, not enough to meet the de-
mand.
The owl is tied at a spot where
he may be seen from the adjacent
cornfield, and if he is not discovered
by the crows when they come in the
field he will soon be discovered by a
sentinel crow, for the bubo will for
get that he is a prisoner and before
long will rise to make a swoop down
on that field after the crow. The
string will quickly jerk him back to
the limb though. But he has been
discovered. The sentinel caws the
alarm and the crows rise and make a
dash for him, each one vociferously
yelling its anger.
"The farmer, a hired man or two
and as many more Of the family as
are inclined to join in are in hiding
in the bushes neal the tree where the
bubo Is a captive lure, each. with a
double barreled shotgun. AS the
crows come 1ocking fiercely in they
are met with a volley and a dozen
or more are e e to come tumbling to
the ground dead and wounded.
"The crows, demoralized by the
unexpected and deadly assault, turn
and hasten from the woods. Natural
ly the owl rises from it's perch
frightened. This rising Of the hated
foe as If to pursue them overcomes
the alarm Of the crows and they
gather again and dash back to assail
him. The masked battery opens on
them again and their number Is de-
pleted by half a score or so more.
