THE PARCELS POST AND THE
MERCHANTS.

The new parcels post law has been
viewed with great deal of misgiv-
ing by retail merchants everywhere.
However, it should give them new op-
portunities of which they have had lit
tie conception.
1t improves their position as re-
spects distant mail order houses. A
mail order house 300 or 600 miles
away must pay 81 cents to get 10
pound parcel mailed The local mer-
chant serving the same article to a So
mile territory, can get the same thing
carried for 80 cents. He can send it
for local delivery, including such ru-
raj routes as may start at the home
postoffice, for IA cents.
A mail order house over 1000 miles
away must pay 81 cents to get such
parcel mailed
1t should be possible for the local
merchants of this town to develop a
good trade in the outlying country for
material to be delivered by parcels
post
Suppose farmer wants something
for tomorrow. He can order it by tele-
phone and have it mailed within so
miles for eight cents. The POSSIBLE
tiles for the development of this bust
ness are unlimited The postage is
cheaper than the time he would spend
in the provision store making his pur-
chase and paying for it.
In the outlying country around this

in favor of a radical change in the
state school system. One of the con-
stitutional amendments adopted at the
last election provides for a state
board Of education. This is taken by
many to be the first step in the way
of consolidation, but just what direc-
ton this will take is still matter for
speculation.
If the temper of the legislators may
be judged from present expressions,
especially since the reading of Gov
ernor Haines' message, there will be
tremendous cutting down in the ap-
preparations for all the state insti
buttons, SO that the demands as out
lined above will bear but little re-
semblance to the amounts actually
provided.

town, there is thus a great potential
trade waiting, for someone to get it
1t will go to the man who gets after it
with advertising.
The people in the farm home rare
ly pass the town merchants shop win
dow. They will do their shopping
through the newspaper There the
merchant has a chance to show them
his goods. 1t is a great show win
dow in which the entire community
looks every day. Formerly high ex-
press charges throw obstacles around
mail order business to the near by
territory. Now the lower rates and
the spread of rural delivery open a
big new field for the merchant with
an outlying country to draw from.

SPIRITS TOLD OF THE
RETURN OF IRIS GEMS

greeted the publication of the story in
two very careful and responsible news
papers, the London Daily Telegraph
and the News and Leader.
Mr.. Stead, although evidently be-
lieving himself that the story was
true, declined to reveal the source of
| his information. Subsequently it de-
veloped that his informant was
Julia" his spirit control" with
whom he was in daily communication
through London medium, for he was
an intense believer in spiritualism.
AS none had sufficient confidence
in "Julia's" accuracy to back her word
against official denials and as Mr..
Stead declined to sanction the use of
his name in the matter, the story was
not sent to America. Nevertheless,
the Daily News is correctly informed,
the jewels had at that time actually
been returned as Julia" said.
The Daily News now declares it is
in a position to state that on a GER
tain day in August, 1907, within six
weeks of the date on which they were
reported to be missing, the jewels
were back, if not in the strong room
which they had been removed from,
at least in the hands of the author

! LONDON, Jan. 13.-The LondoI
Daily News and Leader declares it is
assured ION unimpeachable authority
that, in spite of all official denials, the
Dublin crown jewels have been secret
| ly restored in the same condition they
were in when taken from the strong
room Of Dublin Castle one night in
July, 1907. If this is true, the historic
mystery becomes deeper than ever and
takes on at the same time a tinge OF
the occult, for hereby hangs hither-
to untold tale.
More than year ago the late W. T.
Stead called up the London bureau of
the Post on the telephone and asked
me:
Have you heard that the Dublin
crown jewels, the theft of which Gre
ated such sensation few years ago,
have been secretly returned"
NE. I replied. Are you sure your
information is correct?"
Yes" said Stead, Il am satisfied 1t
is true, but the authorities for some
reason or other are trying to hush it
up. The regalia has been returned
with all the jewels intact and in ex-
actly the same condition they were in
before their disappearance"
Meets Same Denials.
The Post London bureau set to work
to verify the story, but met with the
same denials that have this week
