Manuel quit work without leave he be
Swallowed. One afternoon when Man
uel was missing message was sent
TO Gonzales apprising him of the fact.
and he sent out persons in every di
rection to look for him.
Manuel had gone to meet his sweet
heart at a spot near which little
stream boiled and dubbed down a
declivity to river below. The place
of meeting was about a hundred yards
from the stream and surrounded by
thick tropical foliage. The location.
including the stream, was difficult to
penetrate for any one who did not
know of an opening in the thicket
which Manuel had made and concealed,
Manuel, having quit work. darted
into some bushes and crawled into n
wood, through which he made his way
10 the TRUSTING place. There he threw
himself on the ground to wait for

ferent direction. But Maria did not
come. She had seen the persons sent
out to learn where Manuel had gone
and prudently remained away.

him that the oil could have been spilled
in such a wild place, and it occurred
TO him that perhaps he was on oil
land. Taking out his knife. he dug
little hole in the ground. The deeper
he dug the stronger the smell. and nj
last at the bottom of the hole there
was a thimbleful of oil.
Manuel arose and stood on his feet
He saw in that little hole a lifelong
happiness with Maria.
Half an hour after the time that no
was to meet Maria having passed with
out her coming, he set out on his re-
turn. On nearing the edge of the
thicket he heard voices and shrank

found an avenue under the trees. and
by following its bed he came out some
distance from where he had Started.
He was in agony lest Maria had been
watched and captured entering tbe

THEN AND NOW

Today every nation in the civilized
world Is distributing a large part OF
its mail matter in railway mail cars
In the United States over $4,000 rail-
way mail clerks are separating over
30 per cent of all the mail originating
in this country and n large volume
coming from foreign lands. They have
separated in a single year nearly 3d.

Guiding registered mail. They travel
an aggregate distance of 500,000,0OO
miles every year on the $1,000 domes-
tic transportation routes having COM
bined mileage of 100000 miles. The
service has been raised to the highest
point of efficiency today and the pres
ent ratio of errors in distribution has
been reduced to one in 10000 pieces
of mail. The clerks are expected to
distribute the mail so that there will
be no rehandling in the post Offices of
large cities and to separate 1t into
packages corresponding with each
mail carriers route in the cities. In
the case of the largest cities they must
separate It according to section of
Considering the speed at
which the clerks sort the mail the

80 miles an hour, the thousands of
railway connecting points, the loca-

the handwritten addresses, it becomes
a marvel how the railway mail clerk
can work without a greater proportion

In autumn-time the good world seems
To leave all hate and strife behind;
1t is a time for pleasant dreams,
For claiming peace and being kind;
In softest gold and crimson dressed,
Calm Nature seems to pause awhile,
To lure her children to her breast
And show a reminiscent smile.
In autumn-time the orchards yield
The riches they have treasured long!
The rounded stacks that grace the field
Proclaim faith still sure and strong!
A haze that softens and subdues
Lends grace to distant, rugged slopes;
The lambs that play beside the ewes
Are eloquent of well-won hopes.
In autumn-time the world appears
To turn awhile from fSetfulness;
Coutentment comes to Danish fears,
And love reclaims the pitiless;
Scenes that were drear IN former days
Become enchanted and sublime,
And all the peaceful winding ways
Lead heavenward. in autumn-time-

Fifty years ago today the worlds
first railway mail car was given its
official test Two mice were respon-
sible for the idea. Before that day the
mail was distributed according to ad-
dresses at certain designated post
Offices. which usually were the distrib-
uting points OF whole states. II was
slow and laborous work. at one of
these distributing points, Green Bay.
Mich. a pair of mice made their home
in a pouch that had lain in the post
Office for several days. When the
pouch reached its destination. near the
upper shores of Lake Superior, the re-
ceiving postmaster found not only the
rodent homeseekers, but also a large
family OF little mice. They had made
beds of chewed-up letters. The post
master reported the matter to the Chi
cago office and sent along the mice
as an exhibit which was received by
George s. Armstrong. the assistant
postmaster. To prevent a repetition
of such an occurrence, Armstrong
sought to speed up the mail service,
and finally evolved the idea of having
the mail distributed on the trains
while in transit. The plan was ridi-
culed. One man declared 1.-The gov
eminent will have to employ a regi-
ment of men TO follow the trains to
pick up the letters that would be
blown out OF the cars" However. the
first postal car, an ordinary baggage
car equipped with racks and pigeon
holes, made it's initial run from Chi
cago to Clinton, Ia. 80 years ago today.

The Daily Story
The Trysting P1ace-By May G. Etheredge
Copyrighted 1915 by Associated Literary Bureau

Manuel Perez was n Mexican peon.
One day Manuel went TO Jose Con
zaIes. who owned a hacienda on which
he grew coffee, and asked for the loan
of $50 Gonzales understood this re-
oucst. for 1t is the common method In
Mexico of taking on the yoke of slaV-
cry. He lent the young man the mon
ey. and Manuel signed a contract 10
work for him till it was returned.
= Now. there was a special reason for
Manuel thus entering Gonzales serv-
fee. The hacendado had a pretty
daughter, Maria. sixteen years old,
whom Manuel had met, and the two
being of the mating age hao fallen in
love with each other. Manuel was an
Intelligent fellow, and instead Of spend
ing the most of what he earned for
pulque. as many poems do, he saved II
and had 500, which for safety he put
In bank. By working for Gonzales
he would have many opportunities OF
meeting Maria. If his passion for her
were discovered by her father, who
was a very stingy man, he would not
be likely to send Manuel away with
out his repaying the $50 loaned, and
poems are not expected to have the
money. to return.
Maria was fond of horseback riding
and went about over the hacienda on
q pony. In her equestrian costume of
short jacket bordered with gold lace
and skirt covered with glittering orna
ments she was very captivating. Many
q young man of her own class would
have been glad to marry her, but she
had fallen in love with Manuel and
would listen to none Of them.
The lovers contrived to see each 9th
er occasionally, though 1t was difficult
for Manuel to escape the notice of the
overseer. Manuel, having an appoint
ment with his sweetheart, would dis
appear and when he returned to work |
would be punished. But he could en-
dure the punishment since he had re- |
ceived his reward in a meeting with |
Maria.
These absences were at last reported |
by the Overseer to the hacendado, and |

DR.. Elmer L. Corthell, consulting en-.

manufacturers in South America. Hav-

wiser OF the Argentine government, he

pressed himself as follows:
am urging upon all with whom I
come in contact the Importance OF
seizing without delay of a day these
suddenly arisen opportunities. Latin
America finds itself at the present
time deprived of the products of vital
necessity to its existence. but it has
no ships TO go for them. The United
States has no ships in which to send
the goods the South American coun-
tries require.

kerosene and gasoline, harvesting ma

The principal weakness OF the mil

20 be that II Is too good 20 be true. The
average dweller in the rural districts
fails 20 see how the cities can afford

try. and no thinks there must be a
