Parcels Post First.

The counsel of wisdom prevails in
Washington when it is decided to
postpone for the present the idea Of
taking over the telegraph service Of
the country to make it q branch Of
the pOstOfice business everywhere.
The struggle is on for an extension
Of the parcel post system SO that it
may be Of as much service as it is in
foreign countries no more civilized
than the United States. 1t is best
to have that battle fought out with
the express companies and a compare
lively few tradesmen before under
taking so large a piece OF business
as that Of the telegraph, Or even the
consideration of it,
Gen. Hitchcock is anxious to make
a reputation in office that Will long
stand out for excellence, but it is
possible to attempt too much at once.
There is wide difference Of opinion
about the policy of government opera
tion of public utilities, including the
telegraph. No government permits
the mail service to be in private
hands. Apart from that the United
States has not engaged in any bust
ness to compete with private enter
prise.
If the country could have the serv-
ices Of a Hitchcock indefinitely it
might safely undertake almost any
business, but he is mortal, while
hunger for office by the inefficient,
and their success in getting Office, is
eternal. The telegraph must be
regarded as not yet within the field
Of practical politics. -Buffalo IN. W

TNHIS Is a -really truly" story OF a
woman who. having been left a
hundred dollars. started a professional
career with the legacy by purchasing
a pneumatic cleaner.
Several weeks before the money was
paid over 70 her a woman friend be-
walled the fact that she could not af-
ford to have her house cleaned by a
professional, neither could she afford a
pneumatic cleaner OF her own. II would
like TO rent one by the day II / knew
some one who would let me try it,
The hearer went at once on tour of
Inspection Of pneumatic cleaners. The
advantages Of various makes were
carefully studied. and one was finally
selected that came within the hundred
dollar limit

mastering its intricacies the girls first
visit was to the friend who had given
her the idea Il have a pneumatic
cleaner to rent What do you want
done and what would be a fair price to

machine for 10 cents an hour II the
owner did not direct its manipulations
and 30 cents an hour II she did.
An engagement was made for three
hours OF work every week. the girl to
take charge OF the maid and see that
the house was thoroughly cleaned.
Later the owner Of the cleaner sent
out a circular 10 her friends giving
prices for different uses for her ma
chine. Soon she had more work thar
she could do, and her legacy paid q
huge interest II there was a hurry or
der more was charged. There was also
an additional fee II she was expected &C
arrange rooms after cleaning.
Later on when the girl had gained
experience clothes cleaning was added
TO that OF housecleaning.
This work is pleasant for a strong
healthy girl, the pay Is good and q
trade is built up without the worry o.
