from young man who wants to honor

blushed when he realized that such a per-

to be had been off Uncle Sans pay roll
so long. He is considering having the
letter inserted in the Congressional Di-
rectory as guide for the new repre-
sentatives who want to say compliment
ary things about themselves and are too
bashful. This is the letter:
Il am young progressive democrat,

executive ability, neat in dress and ap-
spearance. college and law education, con-
sidered exceptionally bright, well read,
fluent conversationalist, and feel amply
qualified to discharge the duties of the
Office with justice to all and with credit
to the administration. Feeling that the
success of the democratic administration
depends more upon the ability of those
by whom it is administered than their
age and length of party service, l am ap-
plying direct to you, for / believe you
will consider intellect, energy and ability

voters My public life is an open book;

Thomas j. D. Fuller, local architect,
was given a verdict yesterday by a jury
in Circuit Court No. ,, before Justice
Wright awarding by sadverse possession
the plot of ground on which his home at

Samuel Mcmillan. former representative
in Congress from New York, sought TO
eject the architect, but as the latter was
able to show fifteen years actual hostile
occupation of the land Justice Wright
held him entitled to it.
The case was an unusual one and grew
out of an error in the number of the lots
conveyed to Mr.. Fuller and to Mr.. NC
MILAN. Mr. Fuller had his property. as
he thought. staked out and built on IL

ago Mr.. Mcmillan thought he would I'M

Mr.. Woods plans divide the safety
work into three classes of rules-for pc
destrians, for bicyclists and for roller
skaters. These three classes, he said.
contain practically all the boys who. are
members Of the Boy Scout organization.
The rules for bicyclists and roller skaters
are not quite completed, but those for
pedestrians are. All the rules are based
on two words, always" and never.

preaching cars or vehicles; get off a
car facing the rear; stand in street
while waiting for a car.
Always wait until the car stops: look
for approaching vehicles when alight-

to curb quickly.
Mr.. Wood believes all the rules are
OF practical value, rs he made them
from observation. He carried small
card about with him during the time
he devoted to the study. and whenever
he saw any. one doing an unsafe act in
the street he wrote a memorandum of
it. From this he compiled the little
text book. which the boys will study.

To Qualify as Instructors.

After the boys have studied the rules
and have familiarized themselves with
pertinent parts of the traffic regulations
they will be given examinations under
the respective scoutmasters. Those who
pass them will be given buttons of the
American Museum of Safety. These boys
will then teach their companions at
school and other places how to be care
full" and it is believed that many thou
sands of boys and girls will be reached
in this way. besides any number of adults
who will be reached indirectly.
Besides the traffic regulations Which
will be distributed to the scoutmasters
and the pamphlets which will be dis
tributed to the boys. the advisabillty
of getting the safety stories printed
by the American Museum of Safety is
also being considered.
The rules for pedestrians, as outlined
by Mr. Wood. are. divided into two
parts-for passengers on cars and for
persons crossing the streets. Under the
head of always in the street crossing
