HAD NO USE FOR EDUCATION
Old Gentleman Deeply Resented tho
Deception Of Which He Had
Been a Victim.

There was a man about forty years
old seated or the fence in front of
the house and swinging his legs as
he smoked, and as / halted and sa-
luted him and inquired about the road
ahead, he asked:
Stranger, be you what is called an
dedicated man?"
II have something of an education"
] replied, as I noticed how grim he
looked.
Then / don't want nuthin' to say
to you," he continued. as he settled
back.
Perhaps you are down on educa-
teas"
"Perhaps l am, sab. Yes. sab, I don't
want nuthin' to do with them kind O
critters"
Have you suffered any injury at
their hands?"
"Hev l? Wall, now, you climb up
yere and take a look over that field.
It's bekase of eddecashun that I've
broken my back and hain't got no mo-
ambishun left"
1 climbed up beside him and saw
that the field had been dug up in a
hundred different places, as If some
one had been digging graves.
That's what I've bin at fur the last
var" growled the man, as he kicked
the fence with his heels to prove his
feelings. Eyes, sab, I've put In ten
hours a day right yere with pick n
shovel for the last twelve months, and
mebbe you don't wonder that I'm down
on eddecashun."
"What have you been doing?"
"Diggin' fur gold, sah."
"And you haven't found any,"
"How could 1 when it wasn't thar
to be found? l jest feel myself gittin'
dangerous when I think of it. Better
pass on, stranger, befo' / break
loose!"
But tell me why you dug all those
holes in this field" I persisted. "Who
told you there was gold there?"
"Wall, sab, it's all a-owin' to my
| son. Sam. He wanted e~ddecashun and
| couldn't be denied, and I finally sent
| him down to R%osedale to skule. Jest
as soon as he could read he cum
home and told me about Captain Kidd,
the pirate, and we figgered that the

yere. l went to diggin' fur it and kept
at it till last week"
But Captain Kidd was an ocean

"Of co'se."
"And he couldn't have buried any
treasure hundreds of miles inland"
"Of co'se not. That's what a crit

He made it so mighty plain that

 aoald mention 1t .a the carrier and ae win watch for same at Che poatohice should it not come addressed in yourc care. Nisstior $ mail most often comes without special address.
 5 Do you receive any parcel post packages? Some kind of a large box placed at a convenient position, though it sits on the ground will be better than for your carrier to place package on the snow or dampened ground. You do not want your package lost. but havesyou provided fer it?
 6. Bad road conditions are a great drawback to rural delivery. All patrons should insist on town ship officers keeping road over which carrier travels i'll best pos sible condition. You travel over the same road, and aside from helping your carrier deliver your mail earlier and more promptly, you have the pleasure and satis- faction of travelling over smooth we'll kept road.
 When the snow drifts around your box, see that it is cleared away and the road open to your box by the time your carrier comes. Remember, the Post office Department does not re- quire him to get out of his vehicle to get to a box. The carrier is not supposed ito venture into snowdrifts or mud.
 These are only a few of the ways you can assist in prompt de- livery of your mail. Your carrier will appreciate all courtesies and will do his best to always return good for good. "

The following valuable and per tinert hints to patrons of rural appeared in the news columns of the Manhattan (Kan.) Daily Nat ionaiist of December II. Read them over they're worth while:
 Patrons can help their carrier and by so doing help improve the service on rural routes.
 ]. Purchase stamps and en- velopes and have all mail ready to dispatch. Stamp your letters and cards before depositing them in your mail box, and especially do this for your carrier in all bad weather. Did ever you think how cold it would be for the TUT al carrier to take off his wraps and gloves and pick small coins out of your mail box? Have you a little cup in your box to place the coins in? If not yuor carrier would like to see one in there in the morning. He car ries for the patrons a supply of stamps, cards and stamped envel- opes, so that the patron may buy in sufficient quantities to enable them to stamp all mail before it is left in the box.
 2 Is your box well located? It should be set away from the fence on a solid post, and about four feet above the ground, in a position that the carrier may drive very close to it, and easily reach same without unwrapping
 3, Has your box sign on it? If it has not, and there should happen to be no mail for you some day, then your outgoing mail is most likely to be left in the box. as carriers are instruct ed to look for mail only in the boxes where the sign is shown of outgoing mail. Any simple sign that is easily seen when dis played, is all that is nece essary.
