CELEBRATES HIS
81ST BIRTHDAY
&C ontinued from page 81

Our postmaster, Dan Hines, would
often carry letters for weeks ad.
dressed to our few citizens, in the
lining of his hat and when he would
meet them on the street he would go
through his hat to see if he had a
letter for them. We did not use en-
velopes. Our letters we're written on
follscap, blue-tinted paper and so
folded as to form the letter, then
sealed with a red wafer and ad-
dressed. The postage was twenty
FIVE cents, afterwards reduced to ten
cents, owing to distance. The post
age could be paid at the place OF
mailing or receiving and was written
on the letter so much paid or so much
due, by the postmaster.

dreds of changes Of those early days

but I will now close my rambling re-
membranes of my early recollections
of Keokuk and Lee county.

The Hills; Father and Son.

In a character sketch of Louis
w. Hill in the Worlds Work, French
Strother compares him with his faith
err, the late James j. Hill. as follows:
al. w. has the thick, powerful
body and short legs of James j.. the
same red beard, the same gift for en-
thusiasms and the same vehement To-
quacity in talking about them, the
same instinct for friendship with the
workers and builders Of the country
rather than with the show people OF
the cities, the same talent for anec-
dote and homely phrase. The sons
face has not the massive features and
the lines of relentless resolution that
made his fathers at once benign and
terrible. Instead, energy and pug
nacity are chiefly written on it, at the
age CAD his father was when his
most searching battles had just be

MIGRATION OF RATS

DANGER

tBy Associated Press.D
PETROGRAD, Jan. 27-A migra
ton of rats, estimated at $4,000, sur
prised the residents of the city few
days ago The custom house district
and the grain markets of Petrograd
are infested with innumerable rats,
often of large size and great holiness.
They go to water usually in the still
est hours OF the night in serried ranks.
Watchmen who see them in motion
take pains to get out of their way as
| they attack isolated men when in
numbers. There are traditions that
persons who have tried to interfere
with these armies of rats have been
overcome and killed and eaten. The
last migration was by day and the
route led across the Nevsky prospect
Thousands were cut to pieces by the
electric street cars and bands Of bows
and men killed many others. This
daylight migration was no doubt caus
ed by the emptying OF the grain bins
at the grain market Supplies have
been distributed recently directl,
from the railway cars to the dealer,
and larger bakers.

FOREIGNERS REFUSED
MINING CONCESSIONS
NEW ORDINANCE IN EFFECT IN
KOREA ON FIRST OF
APRIL

SEOUL, Korea, Jan. Foreign.
ers and foreign judicial persons will
henceforth not be allowed to take out
mining concessions in Korea. That is
the broad significance of the revised
mining ordinance for Korea which
was promulgated few days ago and
which will come into force on April
l. The new regulations possess great
interest for foreign business interests
Although detailed translation of
the ordinance is not yet available, a
summary by officials indicates that
an exception to the general rule men
toned above will be made in favor
of such foreign juridical persons as
are recognized by the law of Japan
II is explained also that the new
regulations will not affect those for
eigners or foreign companies actually
in possession of mining concessions
and they are at perfect liberty tc
transfer their rights to other foreign
ers. The mining concessions secured
by foreigners by arrangement with the
former Korean government will alst
hold good after the enforcement q
the revised regulations Tungsten
and ten other minerals have been add
ed to the list of mines which vii
come under the control of the new or
dinances, the total Of such minerals
being increased TO 2S.
