MELISSA FREES HER MIND ABOUT
THE DEAR DEPARTED.

Mrs. Merriwid's maternal maiden
aunt Jane found her bereaved niece
still in her morning negligee. although
1t was nearly ten o'clock. It was
handsome, cobwebby negligee. with q
big cherry-colored bow at the throat
to relieve its more or less funereal
black. and Mrs, Merriwid looked well
in it, having fair skin and figure
that was plump, but not too plump.
There was tray on tabouret by
Mrs. Merriwid's chair. and on the
tray were the mangled remains Of two
lamb chops and some crusts Of toast,
which, with an empty chocolate pot
and milk pitcher. seemed to indicate
that grief for the departed Mr.. Mer-
riwid had not destroyed the appetite
Of his sorrowing relict.

Jane. fervidly.
Mrs. Merriwid removed her very neat
ly stockinged ankles from the elevation
of supplementary chair and arose

said, extricating herself gently, I'm
awfully glad to see you. but please

Poor Mr.. Merriwid!" said Aunt
Jane. with sigh.
"Oh yes. see," said Mrs. Merriwid.
"You feel bad on his account. Well.
It was shame he had to go. Still.

A RABBIT HUNT.

Fl. T. Browning, Morris Law.

'Farrar went possum hunting last
Tuesday night and bagged two Of
the ugly.facrd night providers. "A
serious accident occurred while
capturing the second animal, and
I am satisfied your readers will
fully appreciate the situation.
The pessum WAS "treed" in the

ing put his hand in the hollow Of
the tree and while feeling for the
tail of the animal put his finger in
the possum's mouth and "got g
bite" He drew forth his hand
and said:
"Look here, boys,' and showed
them just how the .possum slowly
lowered it's head, opened its mouth
and took possession of his finger.
The boys rolled over and laughed
while Mr. Browning went to have
his fnger'dressed.
Mr.. Browning is somewhat of 8

q friend founda den of young bears
in the hollow of tree, He went
up the tree and'into the hole after
the young bears, but while in the

him by the throat. He awoke in

Moved Capital to Toxic.

Mutsuhito invited representatives of
foreign governments to an audience in
1868. While on his way to the capital,
Sir Henry Parkes, the British minister,
was attacked by a body of two-sworded
Samural, and narrowly escaped assas-
sination. The emperor made all pos
sible reparation, moved the capital from
Kiato to Yedo, and marked the event
by remaining the city Toxic, which
means eastern capital.
In 1869 the emperor established de
Lucrative assembly. This and other re
forms then inaugurated ended feudal
ism, which had existed for centuries il
Japan, and the nation moved forward OF
the road of progress. Everything Euro
peon was eagerly adopted. Torture
was abolished in 1873, and modern
judicial code was authorized. The frs
railway was built in 1872, and the Eng
fish language was taught in common
schools.
Opposition to the sweeping change
developed in the period from 1876 t
1884, and Mutsuhito faced and sup
pressed three serious rebellious move
ments during that period.
Mutsuhito took leading part in lei
ting down the bars to other nations
but it was not until 1894 that he sue
ceeded in obtaining revision of fol
eign treaties.

Mutsuhito was the first Oriental
monarch to form an offensive and de-
fensive alliance with first rate Euro
pean power. In 1869 Mutsuhito mar

of the first rank. He leaves one son,

the shore of japan for Korea and Man
churia, and later distributed rewards to
those who won distinction.
In the war with Russia, 1904-5, he
again addressed the departing troops
and welcomed the returning army.
The emperor realized early in his
career that Japan's supremacy in the
east depended largely on her ability
to rule the seas, and he promptly added
modern battleships and fast armoret
cruisers to Japan's navy.
He armed his troops with modern
rifles, and the performance of thu

as of Old,

as of Old.
Washington.-The senate committee
on postoffices, in its report on the post
Office appropriation bill just made pub
lie, takes issue with the postoflice de-
partment in its statement that the de-
partment, after reporting a deficit an
nually for many years, finally has
reached a point where it is selfsustain-
ing. The committee characterized the
accounting methods of the department
as "antiquated and unbusinesslike, u
which, having been in vogue for dec
AIDES, make it impossible to give cor
rect balance.
The committee contended that compu
tations of the department that indicate
surplus overlook several important
features which would be included il
the financial statement of any private
enterprise.
The committee said that these items
are properly chargeable to the posta
service and should be taken into consid
Grafton in presenting a financial state
ment.

found to be worth at least 100000.
Mrs. Seybold, in wandering through
