POSTCARD SENT NEWLY WEEDS
Highly Decorated Remembrance 10
Inscribed With Advice
From Sender.

Denver.-A wooden postcard nearly
two feet long and more than half 4
foot wide and highly decorated Mth
instructions to newly married couples
was handed to e. C. Bennett, clerk at
the Kaiserhof hotel, by the letter car
rier when making his usual mail de-
livery.
It was addressed to Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy D. Lee OF Pueblo. who were here
on their honeymoon. The couple had
departed, however, before the card ar
rived. Clerk Bennett tried to put 1t in
the mail box and 1t wouldn't go. Then
he hung 1t up over his desk. That
caused SO many people to make use
less remarks that he showed 1t under
the counter.
Then some one told him he was in
terfering with the United States mails,
so he took 1t out again and handed 1t
to the telephone operator, who wrote
another address on 1t and forwarded
1t after the happy couple.
One motto said:. May all the
troubles be little ones" Another said:
BE good to one another" Another
card asked the clerk. in the event he
could not deliver the postcard, to re-
turn to the couple addressed at Rose
lawn cemetery, Pueblo, Colo, as that
would undoubtedly be their stopping
place In the end.
The card had thirty-four stamps on
1t and numerous pictures Of hearts.
cupids and other designs which con.
veyed the impression that the parties
addressed were in a blissful state OF
mind.

GOOD TINES ARE
COMING AGAIN

Good times are in sight again.
Having passed through a valley OF
depression'we are emerging on the
upslope of business revival.
When we have big crops of corn,
cotton, wheat, hay, and grain, the
United States sells TO the rest of
the world more than it buys. Last
year agriculture rrospered but
manufacturers languished, causing
trade to slachen.
For this set back the agitation
of a new tariff and currency laws
was blamed. That was accentuated
by the pessimistic prophecies. of
Republican politicians that panic
was pending and souphouscs wonld
come again.
This dismal wish Of the ousted
party failed Of issue. With the frs.
quarter-year's trial of the new tar
if law it appeared that nobody
was being hurt. With the currency
law enacted, bankers admitted it's
purposes was beneficial and that
no shock would be felt in the re-
adjustment of federal control of
bank-note issue.
Improvement manifests itself in
every mart of trade and plant of
industry. Uncertainty has sped
before her rising sun of confidence
and credit now expands.
Private boards of money are
creeping out of repositories tenta-
lively, like little mice, to see IL
the wicked cat Of industrial de-
preston is lurking behind The chairs
This cat seems to have gone-the
way is clear and now money can
scamper about, buy real estate, in

DR.L.T.MAYS' NAME
SENT TO SENATE FOR
CONSULAR POSITION
WILSON NOMiNATES HIM FOR
POST AT PRINCE EDWARD
| ISLAND.
CHARLO7TETOWN IS The CITY
Not Known Whether Popular Pastor
Will Accept Post, Which Carries a
Handsome Salary CharIottetown
Not Far Distant From U. S.

The name Of Rev. Livingston l.,
Mays, the pastor of the First Baptist
church of this city, was on Thursday
sent to the senate of the United
States for confirmation as consul at
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island,
Canada.
1t is not known whether DR.. Mays
will or will not accept the post, which
is very desirable one. He stood the
examination in January and passed
it satisfactorily. When he was con-
ferring with the official board of the
local church, he informed the mem
bers that he had taken the examina-
ton. He is free to accept the post
if he desires, but has made no state
ment as to whether or not he would
do SO.
The post is said to pay a handsome
salary and to be one Of the best in
the consular service. Prince Edward
Island is province of Canada, north
of Nova Scotia, east of New Bruins
wick, and lies in the Gulf Of ST. Law
renee. 1t is between the 46th and
47th parallels of latitude, west of the
63rd parallel of longitude. Charlotte
town had a population of $4,000 &C
cording to the last census, and is the
capital and metropolis Of the island.
Prince Edward Island is near the out
let of st. Lawrence river, and is al
most on the route of the trans-Rt1an-
tic steamers that sail from Montreal
and Quebec to Europe
DR.. Mays was one OF the highest
on the list of those who stood the
consular exa limitations. Those tests
are most severe in their character,
and cover almost every phase of hlI-
man knowledge. 1t is necessary to
have a minute and exact knowledge
of the worlds ancient and modern his
tory, of national geography, of inter-
national law, and. many other sub.
iects.
The news Of the selection of Dr.,
Mays for the high post will be d
source of qualification to the people
Of Columbia. He will doubtless make
la statement when his name is con-
tfrmed as to wet1er he will accept.

burg this week. The report is for
the year ending March 81, 1914.
1t shows that there are 43S mem
bers on the rolls of the church. Dur
ing the past ecclesiastical year, there
have been twenty-six additions to the

as there are 253 enrolled.
The total contributions of the con-
gregation for the year amounted to
$7,S11. OF this amount, s4,217 went
to the payment Of the pastor and the
congregational expenses. The contri
button to foreign missions amounted
to 1882. The amounts contributed
to the Assembly's and Presbyterial
Home missions We're s346 and 5000
respectively. For Christian education
and ministerial relief, the contribu
ton amounted to $275. The very lib
eral donation of $500 was made to the
Orphans Home. ....
The report is very fiattering one
and shows that the church is in a
fiourishing, splendid condition. DR.
Molloy will present it at the Presby
terry at Lewisburg.

MORE PRISONERS IN
COOR7Y'S BAST|LE
THAN EVER BEFORE
WORK HOUSE HAD AVERAGE Of
sEvENTY-TWo DURING THE
PAST QUARTER.
and EXPENSES HAVE INCREASED
But the Cost Per Prisoner Has Been
Kept Down to the Very Lowest
Margin, the Average Being Only
Fraction over 26 Cents Per Day.

During the past quarter the aver.
age number of prisoners at the work
house of Maury county was larger
probably than it has ever been in any
previous quarter. Certainly it was
larger than within any quarter in re.
cent years. During the two months
there was an average Of seventy.two
inmates at the institution and as a
result the expenses of the work house
for the period were much larger than
heretofore.
However, from the report of the
commissioners, which will be present.
ed to the county court Monday in de.
tailed form, the prisoners have been
fed and clothed and taken care of at
the minimum of cost. The average
per day per inmate for feeding, cloth.
ing, etc. has been only twenty,six
and a fraction cents.
During the three months there was
expended at the work house for all
purposes the sum, of $3,16674 Of
which the largest item was $1,2SOO4
for provisions; clothing cost $26004,
and hardware and dynamite took
$41201; coal for the engine cost
$145.11; the superintendent was paid
$3.50; the first and second guards
$19S, and the machinist received
$135; provender for stock $4,000,
and the remainder of the expenses
were made up in various smaller
items.
During the quarter the force work
ed fifty-seven days and just exactly
mile of road was graded and macad,
amized.. In addition 500 yards of rock
were crushed. During the month
$252.55 was expended for opening and
changing roads. Only $500 was spent
for repairs on roads from the special
highway fund.
The report is an exhaustive one and
will be the first one submitted by the
new secretary, Clay E. Hight The

PRACTICAL REPAIR
 WORK F0R STUDENTS
Mesa Schools Will Teach Boys the Use Of Tools With Aim to Ac-
 quaint With Repairs

MESA, AriZ., Feb. 19.--With an idea to teaching all the boys in the Mesa high school the use of a few tools with such accuracy as to enable that boy to do a perfect repair job in relation to strength and beauty. the manual train ing department of the school has ar ranged a campaign for better and more work. Instruction will be given the boys in all kinds of repair work, and in furniture construction most espec- tally.
 Picture framing in Mission chestnut and oak will be done. In this relation the department has asked all cti- zens of Mesa who have any work that the boys might do to send that work in. It will be done at cost plus small fee to be applied to a fund for buying q special speed lathe much needed in the school at this time.
 Repair work can be done by the de- partment in the most approved man. ner, The apparatus of the school at the present time is sufficient to allow the department to do the most diff cult work, and there are in the classes of more advanced pupils many who are capable of repairing the most diff ficiilt and stubborn breaks.
