Mulcts Him to Send
Letter.

There is at least one patron of the
local postoffice who holds to the Obso-
lete idea that a letter intended for an
other patron OF the same Office can
be mailed for one cent.
Sometime ago he mailed a private
communication in an unsealed enNel-
Ope with one cent stamp affixed. The
letter was promptly returned 10 him
for the payment OF additional postage,
Instead of complying with the request
he at once enclosed the letter in an
envelope addressed to the postmaster.
placed two cent stamp on II and en-
closed the following note.
My dear Mr.. Haas:
1t seems very strange 10 me that
the common people OF this city have
no rights. Every day | get letters from
merchants that are sent tot me under
a one cent stamp. If they have q right
to send mail this way, the rest OF the
people should be accorded the same
privilege.
Now | want you to see that this
letter gets to its destination without
any more foolishness. The common
people of this city should have some
rights as we'll as the StOrekeepers.

ply stating that only printed matter
came under the one cent classification

Rock Cannon.

When the island of Malta was under
the rule of the Knights of st. John
they defended their Notifications with
cannon bored in the living rock. Each
one of these strange weapons con-
tanned an entire barrel of powder, and
as it was not possible to vary the aim
of these cannon fifty were made ready,
facing various directions from which
the enemy might approach. When the
fame of these arms Of defense became
known to the world the idea was taken
up Of transporting rocks to Cummits
to serve the same purpose, but it was
soon recognized to be impracticable,
and the cannon of Malta, bored in
solid rock, have passed into history
as the sole weapons Of the kind ever
known.-Harper's Weekly.

With, star eQuestrienne of a circus,
was terribly injured at the perform
ance here the other night when her
horse dragged her again and again
around the center ring in which she
was performing and through the
arena, her body humping against the
tent poles as she passed.
The handsome young woman, one
foot hooked in the girth, the other
braced against the animals glossy
neck. tore around the ring, her body
perpendicular to the horses side.
when one foot slipped. Spectators
gasped as she slipped, limbs outspread
to the ground.
The fall scared the usually gentle
horse and as he quickened his stride
1t became apparent that the girls
short ballet skirt had caught in the
stirrup. Fidem Wirth, the ringmaster,
leaped to the bride as dozen attend
ants rushed into the ring.
The big horse shook off the ring
masters grasp and raced around, the
girls body dragging helplessly along.
The center pole of the mammoth
tent rose from the middle of the ring.
Twice as the maddened animal tore
around this the girls body swung near
the pole. The third she struck full
against it. the thud of her body caus-

Ing those hurrying up to stop him.
Every attache who could get hold was
desperately clinging to his heaving
sides, but he reached the edge OF a
stage at the end of the tent. Then
he plunged back to the ring and ran
four more times around it. Mays

Performers, canvas men and train
ers brought the horse to a standstill.
