 For the lack of local pat ronage the Monticello Post Office has fallen back into the tn ird-class line.

Danger Teaches Them Senss-War,
says a London dispatch, has struck q
blow at both military smartness and
military picturesqueness. These two
features, which distinguished Euro
pean wars Of the past, are now yield
ing to the practical. The British
Tommy in the trenches, wearing goat
skin coat, rubber boots and knitted
cap pulled down over the head, looks
more like a Robinson Crusoe than a
soldier. French Zouaves still wear
baggy trousers, Moorish jacket and
fez, but the cloth is colored greenish
yellow like the British khaki. Bel
gians have changed their regulation
foolish little cap for a good, warm
cap which looks as II made for q
chauffeur.
Among the changes undergone in
the British field uniform is q Sam
Brown belt made of webbing instead
Of the more conspicuous leather. A
belt, designed a couple Of generations
ago by a British officer in India, sup
ports sword, pistol and canteen and
Is suspended by a strap across the
shoulder. It has lately become the
rage among the Belgian officers. In
view Of the short range in trench
fighting, the British officer has been
forced to do away with the minor ele-
gances Of a khaki flannel collar and
khaki colored necktie. His full skirt
ed overcoat early gave place to e short
coat Of the model Of the seaman's
p~ea-jacket, which Is found warmer
than the old model. besides being free
from the annoyance Of skirts. The
men of the ranks have Of their own
accord cut off their overcoat tails be-
cause Of their dragging In the mud.

Three Cent Postass-The reduction

Three Cent Postage.-The reduction
Of letter postage from two to n cent
is being agitated again with consider
able vigor. This is no time to create
a deficit in the postoffice department
and every reasonable person will adj
NIT that the letter postage Is cheap at
the present rate. It has occurred to
us that the government could not
adopt a fairer or easier plan for rails
ing the money needed to make up the
shrinkage Of revenues caused by the
wal than by increasing the letter
postage to three cents. AS a war tax
an increase in the postage rate on let
tiers would be as fair and reasonable
proposition as any of the special tax
levied by the emergency measure en-
acted last fall.-Sumter Item.

Ounce"

an hour.
well, that jobs DONE" Sam ex-
claimed when they had finished, land
it wasn't half as hard as I thought II
was going to be-"
IF we hadn't figured out a new
way to do 1t, though, 1t would have
been hard enough" said Andrew.
Yes" Sam agreed, we've saved a
lot Of hard work there by using our
minds a little. 1t doesn't pay to work
without thinking. and I'm going to
mix a little Of it with my work from
now on. Let's drive down after a
load Of poles and see how the chop
pers are getting along"
Hello, there!" yelled Fred Martin
when he saw Sam and his companion
driving up. You haven't deserted
that job, have your"
NO." the two replied in unison. "of
course we haven't deserted 1t. We fin
ished it, that's all, and now we're
down after some poles"
Jaw, get Quit" the two choppers
scoffed. Don't tell us you've cleared
out hat streak Of briers. Why, a
rabbit couldn't get through it."
NO." admitted Sam, we didn't
clear quite all Of It ourselves, but what
we didn't the fire did"
"Oh. you burned it, did you?"
"Sure, we put the fire to it, and the
rats and rabbits had to hunt a new
country"
WELL" Joe Watson remarked, I'VE
have got the poles for you-about for
ty Of them"
Forty! My, but you must have
been working" Sam congratulated.
Forty will be enough to mend the
fence, I think"
When it came to mending the fence
Sam had real reason to be glad that
his comrades had come with him. BY
himself he would have been forced to
tear down a panel Of fence wherever
a rotten rail was to be replaced. With
help, though, 1t was the work Of only
a minute to pry up the orner and
put in a new pole.
BY noon the fence had been mend
ed all around and the boys retired to
a grove Of walnut trees near the
branch to eat their lunches. That's
job No. 2 DONE" said Sam when they
were seated, land goodness knows
how long it would have taken me to
do it If you boys hadn't come along"
