their offices addressing the frank slips.
These permit them To- send out the
seed free of postage on the assumption
that they are doing public and not pri-
vate business. The penalty for pri-
vatc use is $500.
This penalty for private USE proved
a puzzlor 10 a certain Michigan school
teacher who received a package OF
seeds from congressman recently.
She wrote back: II cannot see why
the government does not permit us to
use the seeds where we see tit The
schools grounds are not large enough
for the children to make garden.

June and the children would not be

ington, Mo, March ,. 1862. In his boy
mood days ne spent several of his va
cations at the rnitah Indian Agency

at that time were aftcrward used as
material for some Of his most popular
stories and plays. Mr. Royle gradual
ed from Princeton i'm 1888 and later
studied at the University of Edinburgh
ana the Columbia Law school. His
ilrst play, Friends" was produced i'm

opening nisht of one of his PLAYS the
actor east for the leading part failed
10 appear and the author took his
place. Since then Mr. RoyIc and his
wife have starred i'm several of Mr..
Royles plays. Probably the most SUI

ALPINISTS ARE ALARMED.
Fear That Tyrol Group Has Fallen
Into Private Hands.


RFRJJN. June 11.-German and
Austrian aIpinists are alarmed by the
news that the Grossglockner and Its
surrounding region are to be practi-
caly closed to tourists. owing to the
fact that the whole territory has been
sold to rich capitalist of Bochum,
Prussian mining and iron center. The
Grossglockner group is the favortte
point of the Tyrol for high mountain
climbers. and the German Austrian
Alpine Society has erected one or two
refuge huts on 1t.
The members of the society are now
filing the columns of German and
Austrian papers with. their protests
against the closing of the mountain
paths and roads. Their indignation,
has only been increased by the. well
authenticated report that the buyer

London never looks quite the same as
usual on a Derby day. For one thing, 1t
seems TO drain all the loafers out Of
London. The minders and humblemen
and the shysters, who stand about tav-
ern doors waiting to see what will turn
up. have taken their talents to EPSON,
and even the newsmen and newsboys,
although it is the great day for selling,
have detached many of the most active
members to see news happening on the
course. Then there is a strange absence
of taxicabs and the motor buses are
fewer than usual. The West End streets
are almost given over to women, and
the motor traffic in the afternoon is so
slack that there is hardly block in

About O'Clock the spectacle of the
town changes again. but again 1t is I'M

number of shabby men getting in and
out of taxicabs. There were more than
ever this year. for not only the re-
spiendent bookmakers. but all their fol-
lowers. clerks. carriers and shouters
shared in their enormous spoils. The
dusty motors, with rather flushed peo-
pie looking moderately happy. are tear
ing over the town. and crowds of men
with leather straps over their shoulders
begin to appear round the stations.
Motor buses come laundering with the
tops full of bulky men. and the insides
containing empty baskets and bottles.
So great is the influx that even the Lon
