Nicely Disuuised,

Some days ago, about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the principal police in spector of the Second district was call ed to an affair as delicate as it was urgent. He quickly made up his dis guise For his bourgeois melon hat he substituted a cap, the classic cap of the Apaches. He then jumped into an auto. He was not recognizable, or, rather, he would not have been if the honorable inspector had not retained upon his breast the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor, ribbon that he had heroically won at Choisy-le-Roi. And the malefactors in the midst of whom this disguised officer insinuated himself could not refrain from laugh ing and are laughing yet at this man clothed like one of them and deco rated with tho Legion of Honor!-Le Cri de Paris.

Lost Articles In Railroad wreeks.

Did you ever stop to think what might become of your grip. coat or other belongings if you were caught in a wreck? The shock felt after a railroad accident is usually so great that material things in connection with it are lost sight of. Naturally the first thought Is of the recovery and Identification of those injured. The identification part is not always easy. and sometimes has been accom- plshed by some piece of personal property. After the humane work of caring for the injured has been done. it devolves upon the railroad company to clear away the debris. Frequently the quickest and least expensive way to do this is to burn it. but before this is possible every effort is made to recover lost personal property. The value of this often runs up into many thousands of dollars. In one eastern city there was recovered and returned to the owners between $40.0U0 and $50,O0O worth of personal property LeSlie'S.

Oddities of Human Skin.

Human cuticle reacts peculiarly to stimuli. The makers of billiard balls test the smoothness of the finished ar ticle by rubbing 1t against the cheek. Certain areas of the tongue are very sensitive to different favors, while about an inch from the tip Is little patch which Is the precise spot to dump objectionable medicine. for in that region the sense of taste is ab- sent. If one marks on the biceps of the arm little space and test it with the warmed head of pin. some spots will feel just pressure. others warmth and pressure. And if one has a little red ink on the pin he can mark out just where these warm spots" are. In fact. the cuticle seems a mosaic of ''warm" and "cold" spots. And there is said to be place above the knee where one can drive a pin without pain.

It long has been too much the fashion, in sf

semble in crowds to pounce upon a law otff

think he deserves.
1t is all wrong.
No self-respecting, law-abiding, courageg

wrest him from lawful custody without first m

righteous and cowardly business.

The times are sick.
Of that, there can be little Doubt. if by signs
we can tell.
Business conditions have been bad for the past
several months, and, unfortunately they seem to be
growing worse as the days go by.
Hence the blues; but let us take heart, andkeep
hope and courage ever aflame in our souls; for out

Rural Free Delivery.

The increasing expensivencss Of
the rural free delivery service is
causing government officials con
Germ, says an exchange. The
Postmaster General has proposed
to the senate post office committee
that the service be turned over to
contractors. He thinks that such
a course would save the govern
ment $40, 900, 900 a year. Atpres.
emit the service costs about $685.
600, 900 annually, and returns
about $40, 600, 900. There are about
forty thousand routes, and the car
riers equal in numbers a good sized
army. +
The carriers will hardly give en-
thusiastic support to the Postmas-
ter, Generals proposal. Their sal
aries have been raised eight times
in the last fourteen years, and
they are likely to feel that under
the contract system their position
would not be so good.
People who live in outlying
country districts seldom begrudge
the mail carrier the amount of his
salary. To those familiar with
the details of his life, he usually
seems to earn all that he gets; and
the increases to which the Post
master. General points appear not
undeserved. At the same time, a
government undertaking that has
an annual deficit of $43, 600, 900 is
not one that the taxpayer can view
with complete satisfaction. We
cannot afford to have the ruraI
free delivery discontinued or cur
tailed, we do not waDtto have the
carriers suffer, and we are. loatt
to continue q wasteful and extra
vagrant policy. 1t is a hard pro
blem to solve fairly.
