MAIL CAR ANNIVERSARY.

Before the day of mail the mail was distributed
according to addresses at certain designated post Offices
1t slow and laborious work At of these dsrbut
ing points, Green Bay, Mich pair of mice made their
home pouch that had lain in the post office for several
days When the pouch finally reached it's destination
the upper shores of Lake Superior the receiving postmas
ter found only the rodent homeseekers but also
large family of little mice They had made beds of chewed
up letters The postmaster reported the matter to the
Chicago office and sent along the mice exhibit
George B. Armstrong the assistant postmaster evolved
the idea of having the mail distributed on the trains
while in transit The first postal ordinary baggage
equipped with racks and pgeonholes made its initial
run from Chicago to Clinton, Ia, fifty years ago
Today every nation in the civilized world is dstribut
ing large part of its mail matter in railway mail cars In
the United States than eighteen thousand railway
mail clerks separating than 80 per of all
the mail originating in this country and large volume
coming from foreign lands They have handled in single
year nearly twenty billion pieces of mail matter
including registered mail They travel aggregate dis

Thus far these Peggy papers have
related the Fittings about of a care
free and unthinking girl, just out of
school, who has given little heed to the
serious side of life To hey. each day
has meant nothing more than a fresh
opportunity to sally out for new ex-
periences and new ways of having a
good time.
Peggy's mother thought that she
might develop into a home helper but
alas! Peggy's attitude toward do
nestle duties is that of a dodger. Her
sortie into the business world lasted
just one week, and then she lost all
interest in the easy duties that she had
undertaken in her fathers office.
Persons who are not parents are
likely to throw up their hands over
Peggy and call her spoiled bag
gage, wondering how she can ever be
Of use to any one or to herself
But parents know that the world
is full of girls who contribute moth
ing to the common labor Of support
ing the home, and who live off the
toll of others, waited upon by their
mothers and kept in pretty clothes
by fathers who are often hard put to
1t to meet their obligations.
Are you guessing that Peggy has
a day of reckoning before her? Well,
your guess is correct.
One evening, when the absence of
young men callers left an open date,

Papa Interesting Questions

Mr.. Gray invited Peggy into a little
conference. He had been thinking a
few thoughts about the ways of girls
who are allowed to have their heads"
and from whom nothing is required.
Peggy" began her father, 81 want to
get your idea of the duties of girl like
yourself"
Duties" repeated Peggy archly
Why papa, l don't think / know just
what you mean"
Exactly" nodded papa "And the
reason why you don't understand lies
in the fact that you have never given
the question a moments thought. Isn't
that the TRUTH"
oh" pouted Peggy, duty is such an
ugly word. OF course no girl likes to
think of tiresome things When she
wants to be happy. papa?" Peggy has
a wheedling way and she likes to beg
the question when she is getting in
close quarters.
This time papa declined to be side
tracked. Your mother and have done
great deal for you, Peggy. What have
you done for us, or rather, what do you
propose to do? I don't ask anything
fer myself, of course. But what about
your mother"
Peggy couldn't think of a word to
say.

~ NOE upon a time an apple tree
lived in a yard all by itself. Now
~ maybe you think the tree was lone
some-well maybe it was but it didn't
know it, so it didn't matter. For you
see the tree was so busy all the time
making shade and growing apples that
it never once thought of being lone
some.
The tree was very particular about
keeping its leaves green and fresh. For
several little children played under the
apple tree-they had sand pile in the
shade and spent many happy hours
under the spreading branches. The
old tree listened to their talk and in
that way learned many of their secrets
and plans for play
One week the children did nothing
but plan a celebration-all their talk
was about this Observation-Disclosures
that was. The old tree listened and
listened but it just couldn't find out
what a celebration could be--or what it
was for But celebration was evil
IDENTIFY very nice sort of thing for the
children laughed and talked as they
planned and were happy as larks all
day.
Never mind" said the tree to it.
self, am not sorry-I'll just keep on
listening and some time I'll hear what
II is all about"
And sure enough it did.
One day a new little ncighbor came
to play under the apple tree. He
heard the talk about the wonderful
celebration and all the plans.
But what is a celebration% asked
the new little neighbor.
Now this is my chance" said the
old tree gaily. So it listened very
carefully while the children explained
@why a celebration is,-well it's fixing
ell UP for some special time"
"Oh. ho,' laughed the tree, ~ guess
If that's what celebration is I'll have
one of my own"
So the old tree thought all day and
it thought all night-"what in the world
can ! tx uA1"

porridge. the scrambled eggs,
MI the mullins and the coffee
should all have a disagreeable
TASTE What you think was the matter?
Would YOU think that there must be
something wrong with the cereal, the
eggs, the flour and the coffee? Or
would you at once suspect that the
milk. the ingredient common to all
these dishes, was at fault?
You think that too obvious a ques-
ton to answer?
Perhaps so, and yet-well let me tell
you about woman that l know She
is very bright woman. She has a
tremendous supply of ideas and energy
and she could make a great deal of
money is she could get a few honest
efficient helpers to carry out her plans.
But she cannot. She has tried over
fifty people in the last five years and
every one has proved Enthusiastically,
unhusinesslike or unreliable in fulfill
ing his part of the contract You un-
derstand of course that l am quoting
from her own story % her troubles.
Strange to say, almost every one OF the
fifty accuses her of untrustworthiness
and unreliability, and stranger still,
many of them are people whom every
ono but this woman has found reliable
and square.
And yet 1 know that the remotest
suspicion has never entered that wo-
mans head that 1t may be some kink
in her which makes 1t impossible for
any of these people to get along with
her. They are unreliable, unbusiness-
like, unreasonable, etc., but she-why
she is a most unfortunate martyr to
other persons faults. In other words
the cereal. the eggs. the flour and the
coffee are all bad but the milk, the one
ingredient common to all combinations,
is beyond suspicion.
Again, l know a woman who does
have the worst luck in being thrown
with people who are difficult to get
along with. She was handicapped from
the start. Her mother, her father, her
two sisters and her brother were all
difficult people. At school she fell In
with girls who seemed pleasant and
easy going at first acquaintance but
who all developed trying dispositions.
By graduation she didn't speak" to any
of them. At college her experiences
were luuCil TIE SdlhS' diiu bhi eOiu
that she has discovered that her hus-
band (wllo seems to all his acquain-
tances a very kindly even tempered
mani has a very peculiar and difficult
disposition and superfluous to say her
'in-laws" are positively impossible.
II am always hoping to find real
friend" I once heard this woman say,
after falling out with a school friend,
"and always being disappointed" She
never even suspects why!
I have sketched two striking exam
pies of the type which will believe all
the world wrong rather than itself.
You doubtless know others. So per-
saps you can see now why l didn't let
you call that question altogether OBJ

your party dresses. You are letting
her work in the kitchen early and late,
with practically no assistance from

What are your objects in life,
Peggy? What are you here for? What
do you mean to do with yourself. and
for others? You think about this. and
tomorrow night we will have another
talk"
And Peggy went very quietly to her
room.

So the old apple tree worked its very
hardest. 1t drew up E;eh moisture
from the ground and sent it flowing
into the little green apples. 1t turned
and twisted the many leaves so that the
warm Sunny rays could kiss every apple.
And then one day Jack Frost came
blowing from the north. Dear me-"
he exclaimed to the old apple tree,
why you are decked up as if YOU
were having a celebration for me-"
Maybe am" chuckled the tree
knowingly.
And it shook itself in the sunshine
and every red and yellow apple smiled
and smiled all day.
