Milling out and signing, he may deposit

Sometimes an application for an en-
ployer and one for a worker In the

mutual in their requirements. In such
cases the postmaster often brings the
parties together without forwarding
their applications. Otherwise all ap-
plications go from the post Offices

OF labor. They are there compared
for the purpose of noting reciprocal
requirements and bringing work-seek-

as full as possible at each station
and substation. But applications which
remain unmatched at the respective
stations and substations are record

Better Than War.

The whole world is preparing for
war;" said William jennings Bryan at
pacifist dinner.
Il know man in Miami whose good
lady suddenly went In for spiritual
ism. Did he declare war? No; he
did not. He did better.
Instead of declaring war, the MI
ami man took to accompanying his
wife to all her spiritualistic seances,
and at every seance he got the hand
some medium to procure him messages
from his first wife, who was dead
and, all, such tender, such loving mes
sages as they were!
by this method the Miami man
soon put an end to the spiritualitic
idea in his household"
