The Professor.
Billings ushered in the professor
with a fiourishing introduction.
The great man never spoke, but
gave me the end of one finger, and
devilish grudgingly at that. He just
came to anchor and stood there very
straight and stiff, ignoring the chairs
thrust toward him from every point.
One hand was stuck in his stiff broad
cloth bosom, with elbow pointing out
ward, and his great topheavy head
reared above us impressively.
| addressed the professor hospita-
bly,: "Ah! won't you sit down. pro
fessor?'
He drew back, frowning. sit down,
sir?" he questioned. And, by Jove,
by this time he, showed his teeth. And

too, only they didn't fit.
Il never sit down, sir" he said stiff.

The United States is the only CIV
ilized country in the world that has
not a parcels post system-whch is
simply a cheap mode Of transporting
small packages of merchandise The
railroads will not make a charge for
less than 100 pounds, and many of
them will not accept small packages
at all. The packages weighing less
than four pounds can now go by
mail at the rate Of 16 cents per
pound, or $500 per ton. The aver
age freight rate is $1.90 per ton,
and the average express rate is $7.61
per ton, making the average for
transporting express 14.53 to /. In
ten countries Of the old world the
average express rate Is 5.23 to l.
These foreign countries have very
much lower express rates than we
have, but they also have the parcels
post system for small packages. Yet
the narcels post system has not hurt

Nor do I believe that lowering the

out of business, or materially injure
them. You can doubtless remember
when some people opposed the build

that new towns would spring up and
hurt the merchants in the old es..
tahiished towns. Yet the new rail-
roads were built, and new towns
sprang up, and new merchants did
business, but nevertheless the old
towns thrived and grew and the
merchants in all the old towns are
