SUNDAY MAILS.

Business men of Galveston are TAX
ing steps to have Sunday mail dis
tributed to the lock boxes. They
point out that the failure to distrib-
ute Sunday mail results in great in
convenience to the shipping interests,
especially through delay in the re-
ceipt OF bills of lading. Failure to
receive the mail Sunday morning is
an inconvenience to about half of the
business houses of every city in this
country. The protest that is being
made from all quarters will have its
weight. If any possible way can be
found to change the order before con-
gress meets, the change will be made.
II nothing can be done until congress
meets again, the change will be made
then.-Austin Statesmen.
Everybody is willing that employees
Of the postal department shall have
reasonable days off. They ought to
have rest and recreation as other
people. But there is no need of such
economy as puts the business of the
country to disadvantage. The people
are not Directing to the cost of the
service that is afforded by the post
Office, and they would not object TO
adding trifie to it, so that enough
men may be employed to permit of
their all having days off and still pro-
vide for the public being served in
adequate manner. Other industries
manage to do business seven days a
week where it is necessary, and still
not work their employees more than
six days week. The pOstofficc de-
partment can do it and should do it
to the extent that the public may have
adequate facilities where the neces-
sity exists. This Sunday closing of
the postoffice is not calculated to
arouse any more enthusiasm than

The holy scriptures tell us that
works of mercy and works of nece/
sity are permissible on the Sabbath
The two classes are illustrated by the
story of the OK in the ditch represent
ing mercy" and necessity" is pic
tured in the account of the disciples
threshing the wheat on Sunday that
they may eat.
Now whether or not postoffice WORK
on Sunday would come under the head
of necessity" depends altogether on
the viewpoint of the individual. The
Eagle believes that it does, and thinks
the government should provide suf
ficient working force to do the work
and at the same time that not one
of his needed and necessary rest.

MADE FOR US

Come on, baby, let us go
Swing up high, and way down low,
Underneath the live oak tree;
Only you, and only me,
Only we two far away
From the dreary workaday;
Swinging high, and swinging low
AS the vagrant breezes blow.
] will chatter things to you
Just to hear you gurgle goo,
Swing you high and low, and all
Just to see you kick and sprawl
Through the air; filled with alarms,
Till back to your daddys arms
You come gurgling in your glee,
Just as glad as you can be.
The big Gamma, red and tall,
will get you at your call;
Get you the pink roses, too,
Get you morning glories. You
Bend the boughs down just to swish
Them back At your slightest wish
Well pretend today that the
World was made for you and me.
The white clouds and skies of blue,
Fashioned Just for me and YOU
And the wild bees busy drone
Made for you and me alone;
Just for you, and just for me,
Bud and bloom and breezes stir,
Made for us-I guess they We're.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

1t takes smart man to look wise
when he isn't.
Some men are dumb because their
wives talk too much.
A reformer is usually just outside
the political ring.
Occasionally man is too patient
to be of any practical use.
Wise is the man who doesn't play
favorites among his wife's relatives.
If a woman will prevaricate about
her age, sometimes man will lie
about his income.
From maiden's point of view, a
ring on her finger beats two at the
door.
Some mems idea of justice is to get
what they want instead of what they
deserve.
When a gArl marries the man she's
engaged to she is apt to lose a mighty
indulgent friend.
1t is reported that gum chewing
will prevent seasickness. Probably
some gum manufacturer reported it,.
When the average man hands his
wife money without being asked, she
wonders what kind of mischief he has
been up to,
Even an interesting novel loses
most of it's charms for girl when
she discovers the author has dedi-
Gated it to his wife.

HOW OLD is BABY?

How big is baby that you'd swing?
Is she just little thing?
If so, why then should you care
For someone a-being near?
Honor bright, now cousin Judd,
Wasn't she nearing womanhod?
Please don't hink our question mean
Wasn't she just about eighteen?
We've been there long years ago
Swung 'em fast and swung 'em slow :
Swung 'em low and swung 'em high
Scarce would let the old cat die:
Yes, we'd make that old swing get
Till our clothes We're wet with sweat
Swing EN- till the rope would break
Catch 'em for their own sweet sake.
Mend the rope and swing some more
Swing 'em till our hands were sore,
Yes, we've swung EN-, cousin Lew
Love to swing 'em well as you.

ter The best pies we ever ate were
made from berries gathered from the
wild briars and made into an old
fashioned cobbler. The best vegeta-
bles are those we go out in the gar
der and gather. In the early spring
we used to gather poke salad in the
fields, and this with turnip tops made
a dinner superior to anything we get
at the finest delicatessen. The sweet
est flowers are those that bloom in
the wild woods. The best water comes
from the spring that gushes from the
earth beneath the big bluff on the old
farm. In fact, the best Of life is found
close to nature. The happiest days

bees, among the trees and flowers

RARELY EVER SPEAK
Goodness Between Emperor
William and Heir Reaches
Acute Stage.

LONDON, September 24.-The Berlin
correspondent Of the Daily News says:
1T is reported that the GOODNESS be-
tween the kaiser and the crown prince
has reached such pitch that verbal com
munications have been reduced to a mimi
num- and even written communications
|have almost ceased, the prince addressing
his requests to the kaiser through the
court marshal.
1.-The prince recently sent bitter pro-
test to the kaiser because the latter sent
a general to inspect the prince regiment,
disregarding 1t himself.
ct was noticed that the kaiser took no
notice of the festivities the crown
princess birthday last Friday, and did
not attend the gala dinner and recep-
ton given by the princess In her er IN
palace, merely remaining in Berlin half
an hour on his way from Wilhelmshaven
to the shooting lodge at Rominten to rick
up the kaiserin and Princess Victoria
Has Never Forgiven Crown Prince.
Another Berlin correspondent says it is
declared in court circles that the en-
peror has never forgiven the crown prince
for the latters jingostic demonstration
in the reichstag last November. His maj
esty also dlsapproves of many of his
sons companions and of his disinclina-
ton for the duties which would help to
tit him for his position as the next ruler
of the German empire.
The eStrangement between the emperor
and prince has caused a deep impression
at court Several of the emperor's friends
have made Intellectual attempts to effect
a reconciliation.

.HAlTS ARMY PROMOTIONS
Consolidation of Supply De-
partments Expected to
Check Announcements.

Promotions in the line of the army may
be materially checked during the next sis,
or twelve months by the consolidation of
the three supply departments. Already
quite a number of officers who are due for
promotion have been set back in order to
start the process of absorbing those who
will be relieved from the new department.
Although not yet finally settled, it is
probable that nine officers will be alb
sorbed by the cavalry. eighteen by the
infantry, nine by the coast artillery and
three by the field artillery. Forty in all
are TO be absorbed.

the changes can be made as vacancies

made. The ruling permits the quarter
