Gives Weed-PuIllno Party.

A fad that is likely to meet with ap-
provsl, especially by the City Beauti-
full club, was launched at Pasadena,
Cal. when Mrs. p. N. Hanson of Park
wood boulevard entertained with a
"weed-pulling" party.
With a lawn knee-deep in clover,
dandel1ons and dozens of other kinds
of weeds, Mrs. Hanson decided to get
rid OF them with one fell swoop, but
the only way to do so was to have a
party and show her guests how much
fun It was to pull weeds.
So more than a dozen neighbors
were turned loose in a weedy lawn,
and after they had pulled up the last
parasite they were rewarded for their
labor with delicious hot lunch. The
other guests plan to return the favor
by giving weed-pulling parties also.

SUSAN MAKES FIRST PRAYER
Cornercd by Persistent Preacher, Old
Woman Blurts Out "Bess Miss
Mays Big Toe"

Old Susan was greatly troubled. Miss
Mary. her young mistress. was i'll and
suffering terribly. AS Susan expressed
1t, "she done got de misery eb-rywhere.
but mo- particler in de feet" Seeking
comfort and consolation Susan had
taken herself to prayer meeting. Dur
ing the entire service the old woman's
thoughts and prayers were for the sick
mistress.
In an endeavor to put life and spirit
into the meeting. the preacher called
upon first one and then another of his
congregation to testify or to pray
aloud. For the first time in Susan's
life, she heard her own name called to
speak in meetin'." Embarrassed, she
tried to hide from the preachers sight,
but as she lodged back and forth be-
hind pair of huge, broad shoulders,
the man of God likewise lodged, call
ing out, "Ah see yer. Sister Susan.
Yer can't hide FUN me. Testify, sis.
ter, pray de Lo'd TO some special bless.
ing"
Thus cornered, Susan rose slowly to
her feet. In her minds eye, she still
saw the suffering mistress of her af
fections.
ooh, LODI" she prayed from the
depths of her faithful heart. BLESS
Miss Mays big toe, and make it we'll.
And all the people said, Amen"

The approach to Pantaleon for the
writer and the circumstances of the in
spection were exceptional. 1t may be
as well to set down here that in Guate-
mala and In many other Central Amer
lean countries, plant lion, or a series
of plantations, is known as "finca."
Magnificent Scenery.
The start was made from Guatemala
City, the capital, in the morning. Down
grade through magnificent views of the
mountains and volcanoes which make
a setting for the capital the train trav-
eled over the west coast branch of the
International Railways of Central
America, which was built by the late
G. p. Huntington despite almost insur-
mountable obstacles of an engineering
character, and among waterfalls and
water powers from which some day
will be developed vast electrical en-
ergy.
Towering above the train as it wound
down through canyons, amid the hazy
fleecy clouds were the peaks of the
twin volcanoes, Aqua (water) and
Fuego (fre), no longer active, which
have sent down into these valleys in
years gone by showers of rich black
mud that contains all the chemical ele-
ments of the best fertilizers, and in
which three crops of corn each year
are raised. A third volcanoe, Santa
Maria, blew out in 1904, destroying mil
lions of dollars worth of property.
The train skirted the shores of one
of the most beautiful lakes in the
world as interesting and as beautiful
as anything Switzerland has ever of
fered any traveler-Lake Amatitlan-
where some of the well-known resi-
dents of the capital maintain bunga-
lows for recreation; not for summer

Flirting with the truth cost two pris-
oncrs at Atlantic City 81 word when
they were asked to plead to charge
of d!sorderly conduct in recorders
court. AL Russell was discovered pum-
melting Jviia Hill on Rosemont avenue
early in the morning. and both were
taken in custody by Patrolman Spike"
Turner. After he had told his story
they were given a chance to enter
their defense.
I'm not guilty at all" stoutly assert
ed Russell.
mo, sir; I'm not, either" chimed in
Julia.
"A dollar a word" said Recorder
Gaskill, and both were led below.

"HIS Is written in what would
be called In Virginia manor
house." But since it is in
Guatemala it is of the Spanish
colonial rather than the English colo
'nial type, says Wingrove Bathon in the
Utica Saturday Globe.
The residence is the office and home
of the largest sugar plantation in Cen
trail America, and to visit it has been a
privilege which has fallen to the lot of
very few residents of the United States,
or of Europe, either, for that matter,
as the records of visitors here show.
The great Humboldt came down
through these fertile valleys of black
mud years ago and recorded that he
had found at last the celebrated gar
den of Eden" and he predicted that
what was then a wilderness beneath
the tropic sun would some day blossom
and bear fruit-the sweetest dreams of
the agriculturist.
But he never dreamed that here
would one day be found, as anyone who
comes here may, sugar mill in which
1t was necessary to invest, as is done
In the United States and in Cuba, $780,
900 before a pound of sugar could be
obtained. Nor did he dream that visit
-ors of today would find, as they do, an
American chemist making sugar with a
polariscope, assisted by thousands of
Indians of the west coast of Central
America, descendants of the ancient
"Toltecs mixed with Mayas.

: that the government; can improve TINS
situation by granting the proposed
legislation at this time. Nearly two
I hundred national associations have
passed resolutions indorsing the
movement in addition to several thou
sand local organizations such as
trade bodies. boards of trade. cham
beers of commerce. etc.
! The postal committee of the House
realizes the significance of the de-
mands that are being made and has
begun a series of hearings on the
various bills. the first of which was
held few days ago. At this time
not single person appeared to speak
against the proposition. Many con-
vincing arguments were made on why
the condition of the federal treasury
should not be held as an excuse to
delay action at this time.
No member of the committee is re-
garded as opposed to the proposition
but some of them are inclined to
want to force change in the system

mending early Legislation on drop let
tiers. A few members entertain a
fear that the proposed reduction in
the rate might result in slight loss
in revenue. This view is opposed by
the postal experts who insist that the
increased volume of mail, which is
bound to follow the reduction. will
more than double. thereby taking care
Of any possible loss in revenue.
This argument is more or less
borne out by the conditions in Can
ada. There they have had one
cent drop letter rate for several years.
the government increased the rate
one cent on this class Of letters as a
cent on this class Of letters as a
revenue producer The deputy post
master general of Canada q few days
ago freely admitted that since the in
crease took place it has resulted in
a marked falling off in the volume
of business and the revenues.
During the past several months a
marvellous increase has been reported
in the receipts of the postal service.
In November. last. the receipts in
creased nearly fourteen per cent over
the corresponding month OF the pre-
vious year, which. according to a
statement issued by the postmaster
general is nearly seven per cent
greater than the normal increase.
During the subsequent months it is
understood that the increase has been
even greater.
The campaign for drop letter re-
form is both local and national. 1t
is being directed by an organization
known as the National One Cent Let

Are Many and It Seems Proba-
BILE a Law Will Be Passed
as the Result.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Enthu-
siasm is running high among mem
bers of Congress for a reduction in
the rate of postage on lOcal delivery
letters. Since the holiday recess
many additional members have enter
ed the fight As result several
more bills have been introduced pro-
posing Il rate of one cent on all drop
letters in one form or another.
In the House forty-four different
members have introduced bills pro-
posing reduction in the rate. OF
this number twenty-five are DEM
ocrats and twenty-five Republicans.
In the Senate two Democratic and six
Republican members have introduced
bills. making the total number OF
bills introduced by members of both
parties there can be no feeling of
partisan legislation.
The business people of the coun-
try are much aroused over the posi-
bility OF getting some action in this
session Of Congress. Members have
been receiving hundreds of letters
urging early action and at the same
time pointing out how much more
business the government would get
should the rate re reduced to one
cent. The argument is made that
business is in nervous condition and
