Two Gent Postaoe

A friend of ours threatens to start an agitation for restoration of threecent postage letters He is not interested in the finances O the postoffce department It is all to him whether the end of the year shows d surplus or a deficit But he is a busy man, and his mail brings him more letters than he needs He figures that a two-cent postage produces fifty cent. letters for to open than he would be burdened under a three-cent rate. If the present number of letters were de- creased by thirty-three and third per cent he believes there would still be sufficiency
 Many persons also abuse the law or rather they abuse the busy by putting two-cent stamps on letters containing circulars. Under three-cent rate. such letters would probably bear one-cent stamp, the sign by which would be known that When they sail under the protection of a two-cent stamp the recipient is deluded into opening them and thus loss of time and temper is entailed
 But the agitation which our friend threatens is useless The two-cent postage stamp, with all it's annoyances, is here stay. He will be a bold and fearless congressman who is tired of his job who will move for restoration of hree-cent post age

The Barber
By WALT MASON

His customer in muslin garbing the sklIful barber does his barbing your spinach he shapes: majestic, calm and patient always he cuts your hair, removes your gaways trims your fire looks so tough his Cousin Alice would shun him on the street; his hair for scissoring is shrieking he has yellow whiskers leaking and hanging to his feet When from that palace he emerges and joins the dizzy throng that surges along mile mile the girls remark. He is dandy, A man like that would come in handy. when weddings are in style," Some say the barber is chronic in his desire to sell his tonic or stuff for growing hair But that's fable. old and dizzy; the modern barbers still and busy when you in his chair I've never had d barber bore me, when he busy bending OCT me with with shears: he simply mows the vegetation and leaves the silver tongued oration for suffs and auctioneers The barbers hand is most caressng, his scented lotion is a blessing. his bay hits the spot the bar bers chair is good and restful, and he should have oaken chest full of troubles and a yacht

AS THE WINTER COMES

For that sweet impulse of the coming spring. For rpening summer and the harvesting; For all the rich, autumnal glories spread The flaming pageant of the ripening wood; The fiery gOrse, the heather purpled hills; The rustng leaves that fly before the wind And lie below the hedgeroWs whispering; For meadows silvery white with heavy dew For sheer delight of tasting again That first crisp breath of winter in the air; This pictured pane, the white world without, The sparkling hedgerows wtchery of lace The soft white flakes that fold the sleeping
 earth:
 The cold without the cheerier warmth within; The red heart roses in the winter snows: For all the flower and fruit of Christmas tide; For all the glowing art of Christmas tide:
 We thank thee, Lord,

Capital Punishment Sentiment

In answer to a question always asked taiesmen being examined as their qualifications for jurors whether they are opposed to the inflicon of capital punishment less than twenty five cent. reply that they are opposed The usual ratio main- taned in the examination of venre for a recent iurx- in this county and also in the examination of taesmen for jury begun in superior court yester- day.
 Of the small number of talesmen so answering some say that they opposed to the inflicton of captal punishment where the guilt of the accused has been established by circumstantia evidence Where the evidence direct and unmistakable they would not be adverse to finding the accused guilty and fixing his punishment death. Such tales men are always excused, though they cannot be classed as opponents to capital punishment
 The average does not like to sit in mur- der trial Capital punishment is repugnant to him. as it is all of us, and many taiesman con founds this feeling of repugnance with sentiment against capital punishment, and escapes an un- pleasant duty. He would not, however vote to abolish capital punishment
 Probably there is not active well defined sentiment against capital punishment, such as would find expression the polls in vote on that ques- ton, entertained by taesman in ten The senti-

The kangaroo is an animal patented by Nature exclusively for Australia It consists mostly of tail and hind legs and is famous for it's jumping abili- ties. The kangaroo jump faster and farther than a star baseball player under the celebrated clause.
 Kangaroos of all sizes from foot to six feet in height. When the kangaroo is it squats it's long hind feet and balances itself by sitting it's imposing tail In this position it feeds shrubs, vegetables and fruit trees grasping it's food with it's tiny forepaws A kangaroo can do damage in fruit orchard than a heavy frost The Australian farmer has to build fences ten feet under ground keep rabbits and three stories high above ground to discourage kangaroos. And yet Kansas farmers grumble when they have fight gIasshoppers
 The kangaroo has a small head with large ex- pressve and whiskers it's upper lip. It cannot be taught useful tricks any than d Tammany politician and the Australian farmers very good shots, the kangaroo is moving rapidly into oblivion where the dodo, the buffalo and the who votes the straight party ticket will welcome it with open arms

 "Oh come now.' said the listener.
 I'll prove it to you in about two minutes, said the trainer Well I saying the old fellow got into scrap with the Bengal tiger, and before could get them separated he had his trunk badly damaged, After the scrmmage Jacko broke loose and started down the fast. Hes going wd! somebody shouted. Don't you believe it. says l. Now where do you suppose that ele- phant went to-"
 Went to the surgeons, I suppose Can't you get up better yarn?"
 No. he didn't go to the surgeons. He went straight to little shop where sign said. Trunks repaired while you wait Of course he had made a mistake but what do you expect of poor, dumb brute?"
