EXPERIENCE IS A
THOROUGH TEACHER.
Its Lessons Resemble a Thun-
derbolt From Clear Sky
There Are Lessons and Lessons TO be
Learned, But Those Which Are
Taught by Experience Prove to
be Most Beneficial
By H. S. Med.

w hen man starts out to make his
way through the great swamp of ex-
istence, he finds nj ion paths
branching off aud leading into un-
explored and unknown depths of
the surrounding Jungle. AS he pro-
crosses, the paths become more aud
more confusing; the roaring of the
beasts of the jungle and the dismal
wailiug and siehing of the wind
through the tree tops, all add to his
.iismay and uncertainty; he knows
not which way to turn, he is lost,
and not realizing his predlcament
he struggles bllndly aud desperately
onward until at last his madness tor
haste, and his utter disregard OF his
surroundings brings HIM to the
brink Of yawning crevasse which
he sees not; nor is he aware of the
danger which lies before him; he
takes the fatal step and plunses
headfirst to disaster.
When he succeeds in again get

remembers the lesson that expert
ence has taught him; he no more
rushes blindly and heedlessly on 10

foot of the way; when be turns off

of the Jungle, he blazes the trail in
order that should he find that he is
on profitless journey, he may find
his way back to the starting place.
There are lessons and Lessons to

ence teaches prove to be the most
beneficial. And why should tney
not? When something has been

Assistant Attorney GeneraI's Re-
port.

Mr. VIM H. Lamar, of this town, Asss-
tant Attorney General for the Post Office
Department. will please accept our thanks
for copy of his interesting report to the
Postmaster General for the year ending
June 80, 1918. The report indicates on
his part thorough acquaintance with and
energetic study Of the many details of the
office, and concludes with the following
statement
THE work of the Office since the incom-
ing of the present administration has more
than doubled in volume. The steady growth
of the postal service naturally increases
the work of this Office, and the establish
ment Of new features of the postal service
such as the Postal Savings System and
the parcel post-has added substantially
to its work The duties of the Office have
been very greatly increased by the Postal
Regulations of 1918. as indicated by the
italicized portion of the section Of the
regulations quoted at the beginning Of this
report by the resumption Of the enforce
ment of sections 1929 and 4041 of the
Revised Statutes, as amended, authorizing
the issuance Of fraud orders and by the
new regulation requiring the Assistant At
torney General to pass upon the legal ac-
ceptability Of bonds rendered as security
for postal savings deposits. That the work
Of the Office has increased 100 per cent. is
believed to be conservative estimate"
