Old Home Days.
How of | think Of the dear old home

How Oft think OF the dear old home
And the days OF my happy childhood there.
The yine-clad porch, the low-walled room.
The shady lane, the gardens bloom.
The narrow winding stair,
The orchards lore OF uncut hay.
The barn with fragrant wealth piled high.
The haunts and hooks where we used TO play
Thro' the fitting hours OF too short day
And the woodlands mystery.
o life is a quest, TO make or mar
With its even measure Of Joy and pain,
And the heart OF man may wander far.
But the childhood's home is his Guiding Star.
And he must come back again

PARCELS POST LAW.


act Of Congress August 4, 1912, to
begin operation January /, 1913,
has awakened great interest all over
the country, especially y in rural dis
tricts Other countries ENJOY the
benefits of this cheap and conven-
lent method of sending small pack
ages land our Government, IN treat
les, agrees to deliver parcels sent
in this manner from such countries
to persons in the United States.
There seems no reason, therefore,
why we should not use the system
to the advantage of largepropor-
tion of our people. The scheme
is yet only an experiment, but will
probably become valuable insti-
tuition. Itssuccess will depend up
on the rates charged in comparison
with those of express companies.
The editer learned, at the Post
Office Department, that while a
large part of the office force is busy
perfectiDg plans, there are still i'm
portant details yet unsettled.
The act creating the Parcel Post
is briefly as follows: Fourth class
mail is extended to include every
thing not now included in other
classes, provided the packages do
not weigh more than IL pounds nor
measure more than ~ lnches in
length and girth combined; and
further provided that they be not
of a shape or character to injure
other mail, or to spoil before de-
livery in reasonable time. This
is practically the whole bill except
as to rates. 1t is easy to regulate
the size and weight of parcels, but
not easy to decide what may be too
perishable for each distance or too
dangerous to other mail. These
questions are puzzling special
commission, which, in conference
with Senator Bourne, the author
of the bill, is now engaged in try
ing to settle such details.
Shall live animals be admitted,
and such things as butter, eggs,
milk, live pigs and whisky? 1t is
the evident intent of the bill to
provide for dressed poultry, eggs,
butter and liquors, for farm and
factory products are especially
mentioned. But all such articles
must of course be put in safe con-
tainers, which may possibly be
sold like envelopes.
Dangerous explosives can not be
accepted, and live pigs and turkeys
will usually be excluded by weight.
But live chickens, for short hauls,
may become a common part of the
postman's delivery.
For the purpose of fixing rates,
s zones are created, based upon
units that are about 80 miles
square, or half a degree of latitude.
But for practical purposes we may
say that the first zone includes all
points within 80 miles of the send
ing Office; the second points be-
tween so and l50 miles distant;
the third $50 to 500; the fourth 300
to 600; the fifth 600 to 1000; the
sixth 1000 to 400; the seventh
1400 to 1900, and the eighth all
areas beyond 1900 miles from the
sending Office.
The local rate applicable to par
cells intended for delivery at the
Office Of mailing or on rural routes
starting therefrom are as follows
First pound or fraction Of pound
5 cents; ! cent is charged for each
additional pound to IL pounds,
which is the limit. Zone rates are
as follows: ] pound or fraction OF
a pound-fi first zone,5 cents; l cent

fight This was the declaration made
today by Joe Mandot the New Orleans
lightweight, who defeated Joe Rivers
the Mexican, in their twenty round
bout at Vernon. Rivers is clamorng
for return engagement, but it is
doubtful If he gets it. The Pacific
Athletic club. which staged the contest
took in $1L449.
Mandot had the better of every round
but three, and won the decision by a
wide margin. Rivers seemed a mere
novice in the hands of Mandot and
showed to advantage only in the in
lighting. In the closing rounds Mandot
even out-fought him in the clinches
Rivers weighed in at 1873, Mandot at
1871.
Mandot solyed Rivers defense early
in the bout, landing straight lefts to the
face almost continuously without re-
turn. In the eighth he began rocking
Rivers head with right and left swings
and in nearly each one of the succeed =
showed great cleverness in blocking
and countering.
The boys spent much of the time in
clinches and Referee Eyeton was COM
PEELED frequently to pry them apart.
Rivers had a little the better in three
rounds. the fourth, sixth and eleventh
In the thirteenth Mandot nearly closed
the MeXicans right eyes with a left
swing and in the next round he pun
ished him severely with straight let's
and rights. Mandot appeared to be tir-
ing in the sixteenth round and in a
fierce smuggling match at long and short
range Rivers earned even honors for
the round.
The seventeenth was almost a repe
tition, Rivers roughing it toward the
close and wrestling Mandot to the mat
at the bell. The nineteenth was Man

Rivers tried his best to put away the
Southerner in the last round, but Man
