peIixery Window.

From the Philadelphia North American.
A crusade has been started by the chief
postal Inspector, James T. Cortelyou. to
break up the practice by young girls Of
receiving letters from admirers at the
general delivery window of the central
postoffce, and thereby to restore the gem
eral delivery service to its legitimate use.
1t is recognized that hundreds of girls
who call at the general delivery window
for letters do SO without the knowledea
Of their parents. They have missiyes adj
dressed to them there because they fear
to receive the letters at home, lest their
parents learn of secret courtships and
take means to end them. 1t is said hv
postal inspectors that much harm results
from such correspondence. Every effort
will be made to check 1t.
When we notice." said Mr.. Corte1vo,
yesterday, that young girls are frenuent-
ly asking for letters at the genera de-
livery window. we ask them for their
home address and send all their letters
there by carrier. OF course, at times we
may be given wrong addresses, but the
carriers are careful to find out IL the girl
really lives at the address given.
1.-THE mail clerk also asks IL the girl ia
of age, and II she Is not, the address or
her parents sr guardian is learned and
the letters are sent by carrier. But it ia
very hard for a man to tell the correct
age Of persons asking for mail. If the
girl says she is Of age, the clerk has to
take her word for it, m deliver such let
ters as may be addressed to her. That
is one of the chief difficulties we en-
counter"

american, Captured and Made
Slave BY Mexicans, Tells
Story of Atrovities.

San Francisco, Cal-Special: A tale
of adventure and suffering In Mexico
was told here by William Bender. who

Ing been held as a prisoner by his

! courtmartial, of his escape and a
tramp of 400 miles to reach the United
States.
Bender said he was BORN in Germany,
but became an American when his
father was naturalized. After being
graduated at Cornell. he became a first
lieutenant in the Ninth regiment of
New York National Guard. Later he
spent a year as volunteer in the Ger
ina army.
Mas Prospector.
Bender. according to his account, re-
turned to Mexico and went prospect
and searched by rebels. They found
his National Guard uniform and ar
rested him Is an American spy. Tho
rebels held him captive for eight
months, he said. and made him do the
mental work in camp.
II had heard Of the f%oulness of Mex
can prisons, but I never imagined
there could be a place SO awful as
that int which I was THROWN" he said.
"One day the guards threw into my

that they would kill me. I killed the
snakes. The same performance later
was repeated"
Guard Aids Escape.
Finally, said Bender, he made
friends with one of his guards who
aided him to escape. In making his
way to the west coast he had to cross
p river on a log. but the current ear
ried him along for IS hours, before
he succeeded in reaching the bank.
Bender said hat after many hard
ships he reached Mazatlan. but being
unable to obtain work, tramped to
Nogales, where he earned enough
money to pay his railway fare to this

HINTS FOR
From the Farm and Firesid

Following is an extract from an ar
ticle showing how an important farmer
near Boston derives great financial
benefit from the city:
To-day there are In Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Maine farms as
truly scientific as any in Ohio, Indiana
Or Iowa. In the far eastern part of
Massachusetts, where the land is sup
posed to have run out long ago, there
Is the farm of Mrs. John Cummings,
which shows what can be done in even
this section Of the country when farm
ing is undertaken as a business propo-
sition.
The operations on the Cummings
place, an estate of some 400 acres in
Woburn, about IL miles north of Bos-
ton, are centered around pork raising.
The year around, there are on the av-
erage 1900 or 1000 hogs being raised
for market.
"The feeding OF these 1000 hogs is no
small undertaking.. On the Cummings
farm, as on most others in the vicinity
where pork is raised, the hogs are fed
altogether on swil from the suburbs
Of Boston. On this one farm they use
all the swtll from Medford, a city OF
$4,000. and a large share Of the swill
from the polite and effete city Of Cam
bridge. At present two large four
horse wagons do nothing but carry this
garbage for the pigs, and it is hoped
that they will soon have automobile
trucks Tor the same SWil is
considered the most satisfactory fodder
among the pork raisers Of this vicinity
so satisfactory, in fact, that in bid
dino for city swill the price has been
forced up until now it costs at 70 cents
a cubi foot. 1t comes dry, and very
seldom does 1t contain anything harm
full. Only four or five times has q pig
been lost on the Cummings place, in
every case u to glass in the swill.
Another instructive feature of this
pig raising proposition Is the bedding.
The Cummingses buy for their pigs all
the straw, stable litter and manure
from the stables Of the largest de-
partment store in Boston, Jordan,
Marsh & Co. AS with the swill, it takes
two teams to cart this all the time.
Every day a fresh lot Of 1t Is pu. in
each pigpen. The bedding of the day
before is spread on the land all over
the farm. The success they have with
crops here is in no small measure due
to the constant supply Of manure from
the hoghouses. dairy barn and horse
stables.
"An interesting feature of this estate
is the way the employees are cared
for. Seventeen families live in houses
built fer them on the place by Mrs.
Cummings. There is a delightful spirit
between the employer and the en-
ployed, and little Of the trouble with
farm help SO common in his section
ever finds its way into the Cummings
farm

Hill. Jr.. who succeeded Mr.. Cornwell as
commander. made a wager three
months ago, shortly after MI. Hills
wife had divorced him. Mr.. Hill said:
Frank, you are a confirmed bachelor.
and it's a safe bet that I'll be married

Its a safe bet you won't laughed
Cornwell, who lives in New Haven and
has long been considered one Of the
most eligible bachelors in that part of

So the bet was made and a day or 80
later MI. Cornwell went to visit at the
home of Mrs. Martha Beach at Wood
mont, an exclusive residential suburb OF
New Haven. Mrs. Beech had just d.
vorced Edward W. Beach, president Of
the Manufacturers Foundry company

was Ike violently i'll and a doctor said

He was made as comfortable as pos
sible in the Beach home and two
trained nurses were engaged to care for
him. That was II weeks ago. More

vas abandoned.
To be with her brother, Mrs. Fred

Cornwelps one thought was the bet
with Mr.. Hill. Once he said, when he
believed with he doctors that death
was only a matter Of q few hours:
"Eb's won the bet, but Pm no welch-
er, Pn nave hin paid"
Gradually the fever subsidized and q
week ago he smiled as he remarked:
"Ebl win the bet yet. I must over
come a big handicap"
The handicap was overcome Saturday
evening. The Rev. Joseph Anderson, Of
poration, casually strolled into Mrs.
Beach's home. Mrs. Yates was there to
greet him; SO were the two nurses and
80 was Mrs. Beach.
They and the minister were the only
ones who knew that a marriage license
had been obtained and that Mr.. Corn

That night Mrs. Yates went to her
