Letter boxes on street cars may be
found in Des Moines and Burlington
Ia, and Grand Rapids, Mich.
Passengers may post letters on the
cars or mail may be put in the box
while passengers are getting on and
off the cars. The conductors are not
prohibited from taking mail from peo,
pie while the cars are moving, as it is
easy to slip it into the box nearby at
the back of the car. If one signals
the car to stop for the purpose, one
gives the conductor the minimum car
fare, and he punches a ticket for it as
though for a regular fare.
The people in the outlying districts
are greatly benefited, as they can send
a letter to the central postoffice every
hour as easily as those living in the
center of the city.

A funeral at Hampstead middle.
SEX cemetery was delayed by an ex-
traordinary incident, a few days ago.
Just as the procession was entering
the gates, bulldog leaped at one of
the horses drawing the hearse, and
seizing it by the leg, brought it heav-
lily to the ground. The dog then
shifted its grip, biting the horse in
several places about tho front Of the
body, and finally fasteLed it's teeth in
its muzzle. The horses struggles
were witnessed by Inany, but for
some time the confusion was such
that all efforts to get at the bulldog
were unavailing. A young woman to
whom the latter belonged eventually
managed to grasp the collar, but it
was only after the animal had been
stunned with heavy piece of wood
that It's jaws could be pried apart
and the horse released.-London Mail.

COWS THAT GO SWIMMING

Almost every day very unusual
scene may be witnessed on Loeb
Dutch, Ross-shire, N. b., where a
number of COWS swim over to- an is
land in the loch, about 200 yards from
the mainland, feed there, and return
in the evening. They are never driv-
en-. but take their bath entirely of
their own free will, II the wind is
against them on the return journey
and the sea is rough, 1t is sometimes
necessary for man to put out in a
boat and help them over in turn by
holding his hand under each cows
chin, as they get dazed il the sea
dashes in their faces and swim in cir
cles instead of going straight ahead.

nearest neighbor, retreating promptly.
''None OF that for me! know your

draw the line too tight with those two
children of yours. Not but that both
are the finest In the town. Morton
is a model young man, and as to Luz

That will be some time ahead, II /

have been motherless since they wero
very young, and I've felt double re-

Discipline and system have been my
rule. It's going to continue until
Morton is twenty-one-why, say, that's
tomorrow" exclaimed Brill. and !
came near forgetting"
"What?" inquired Dunn, but Adam
Brill was on his way and chuckling in
his grim way to himself. lie knew
well enough "what'-and so did
bright, lively Morton, his son. The
old man, however, did not hear the
brief soliloquy of the man he had just
left to the effect that, You can't help
young folks from being natural, no
matter how hard you try"
10 was the twenty-hrst birthday Of
Morton Brill tomorrow, sure enough,
and his father recalled it half with
sadness, partly with a comical look
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1913-07-04

on his face, as If 1t revived some
whimsy that pleased him. Ever since
Morton was fifteen years of age,
Adam Brill had put in force an iron
clad regulation of his own fierce tenn
pered sire. Exactly one minute be-
fore the midnight hour he had made
his son remove his coat. Regularly
he had administered the strap-the
strokes corresponding to the years at
tained. Then, when the performance
was over, he would place in the hands
of the lad exactly as many bright sill
yer dollars as he was old.
"The last time!" ruminated the OBJ
stinate old fellow, as he reached home
and removed from a drawer in a
kitchen cabinet the time-honored strap
of castigation. Many time had Nor
ton thought Of stealing it, Of run
ming away from home to evade the an
nual castigation. A thought of the
money reward following the whipping,
however, had kept him in line.
Last time!" soliloquized Brill
''Well, in a way I'm glad of It. This
little reminder, though, has probably
kept him the clean, honest lad that he
is. Now he's man, and a good one.
Only Luella left and in another year
she will be of age. declare, how
time rolls on!"
Atc nine o'clock that night Luella
came into the house from the garden,
where her unsuspecting father sup
posed she had been with some girl
friends. Her fair peachblow face was
deliciously conscious and flushed, but
Adam Brill attributed that to the ex-
ercise OF play or walking. iuella re-
tired to her room The ola man
glanced at the clock, placed the strap
over the back OF chair, took off his
coat and went out into the garden
Il told Morton to be here at nine
o'clock sharp" grumbled the old
man, "and it's after ten now. l want
ed to give him a final lecture before
/ gave him his last whipping. / sup
pose the rascal is keepingvout of the
way purposely, when intended to
make him a double present this time"
Brill strolled out into the garden.
AS he neared the little summer house
he chanced to glance up at the win
dow of Luella's room. He was in
time to see his daughters head In
stantly disappear Then as he en-
tered the summer house he ran
straight into some one.
'You, Morton?" he cried, grabbing
the figure "Sneaking out Of the way,
.eh? No, you don'tl thought you
was too wise to fancy your dad
couldn't handle you. old as he is."
In one instant the athletic blood OF
the old man was on fire. His captive
had resisted his iron grasp Then
with superb clutch he had his ad-
'versary on equal terms Back and
forth the contestants moved in a
wrestling bout such as Adam Brill
had not enjoyed for many year And
then, breathless, astonlshed, for the

by an opponent fully worthy of his
skill. Adam Brill was tripped ana

the quip that the mule in them kicks
out all the cholera germs.
