TRIED TO SHIP HIN.
SELF BY FREIGHT

Charlie Porter, the local depot agent
had an experience Tuesday that makes
him think "that for ways that are
dark and for tricks that are vain, 1.-THE
heather Chinee has nothing on the
bunch of Italians who are located here
as an extra section crew.
About nine o'clock that morning a
couple of swarthy sons of Italy rolled
common apple barrel down the track
from their bunk house and stood it on
ned on the depot platform. They told
Charlie in dislocated United States,
that they wanted it shipped to Chica-
go by freight.
Charlie told them that. it would be
all right and went to attend to some
other matters. After while he re-
turned, tipped the barrel over on its
side, rolled it down the platform and
upended it. AS he did SO, he heard
groan coming from the barrel.
With visions of the "black hand"
chasing through his thinking apparatus
he rapidly secured an axe and started
to smash in the end of the barrel. At
| the second crash of the axe, a voice
from inside begged him to be careful.
Charlie soon ripped of the end and dis
covered the sole of shoes sticking up.
Then he tipped the barrel over and
out crawled badly scared dago.
Explanations following, and Charlie
learned that the man, who was home
sick to get back to Chicago had been
persuaded by his companions that the
cheapest way to get home was to 60
by freight, SO he permitted them to
pack him in the barrel which was open
enough to permit air to enter. He had
with him bottle Of water, couple
Of ioaves Of bread and chunk Of
meat.-Wolford Mirror.

IN waddled into the room. She
was round faced old negress

still white. and mouth Of amazing
breadth. depth and construction. In
build she followed the line Of squat
and badly constructed cylinder. In
motion she resembled venerable
black duck. She wore neat blue cal
leo dress and white apron. and about
her head was the inevitable kerchief
Of the negro serving woman. But
Mrs. Beauregard's was a snowy white.
She rolled her eyes ponderously
about the room and finally brought
them to rest on the great detective.

"Am yo' de genl'man wants to see

akimbo and one broad foot advanced,
giving her a singularly truculent air.
Kitty hastily vanished. and Kayton
smiled upon the old negress.

Quired.

Little Rock, July 25.-Following
the action of BARRIERS of Pine Bluff
in raising the price of shaves so that
a patron must pay 20 cents if his neck
is shaved, Little Rock BARRIERS are e1
pected to make demand for an in
crease of prices in few weeks. An
attempt was made along this line
some months ago, but the proposed in
crease was abandoned at the request
of the boss BARRIERS. A number of the

claim it will react on the BARRIERS, for
which reason they advise against it.

Charges that eX-Pos'na stcr- Ger eral
Frank H. Hitchcock was guilty of I'M
tustitiabia mathod of bookkeeping and
"a ruthessly enforced policy OF false
economy" IN order to make It appear
that he had placed tho postofice depart
ment on a self supporting baeis while
in Office, were made In a report OF a
commission IF postofiice department Of
6c,als given out by eral
Burleson.
The Hitchcock administration had
been credited with turning postal
deficit of SlT,500,0O0 into surplus OF
more than 100000, and had made the
service self-supporting Cor the first
time since 1881 Postmaster General
Burlesons survey committee alleges
that instead of there being a surplus
revenues in 1911. the year IN which
Mr.. Hitchcock reported that the serv-
ice had become selfsupportinE. of
more than $4,000.
These and other statements in criti-
cism of the Hitchcock administration
are sharply contradicted by Senator
Boise Penrose, chairman of the con-
gressional postal commission appoint
ed in the Taft administration, and
leading republican member of the
Senate committee on postoffices and
post roads. Mr., Penrose asserts that
the postal deficit of sl7,5O0,000, which
existed in the year preceding the Taft
administration, was not only wiped
out by Mr.. Hitchcock, but that an ag-
gregate saving of about s45,000,O0o
was made in the postal service while
Mr.. Hitchcock was postmaster gen.
eral.
