Postoffice Boys Get a Salary
Increase.

Among the last bills signed by
President Wilson before congress re-
cessed Saturday was one granting an
increase of pay to postal clerks and
carriers. Under the new bill, which
goes into effect July first clerks and
carriers will receive an increase from
S., 2Oo per annum to $I,4oo for the
first years work, with maximum Of
81 BOO instead of the $1,000 under the
present law. The new bill does not
affect the salary of postmasters.
This is one raise that should oc-
casion no complaint as the pay Of
the clerks and carriers have not Kept
pace with the steadily increased cost
of living, nor with the pay of men
working in other lines. While the
postal employees have an eight hour
day the eight hours are not always
continuous. A clerk may be, and
some of the Butler clerks arc, re-
CURED to report for duty as early as
six o'clock in the morning in order
to get the mail ready for the rural
and city carriers. They may lave a
few. hours off during the day, but
they must get in eight hours and they
must get it in at such times as the
convenience of the public and the ex-
igencies of the service demand. If
the day happens to be rainy cold or
snowy, or the streets muddy o.
banked with snow, it makes no diff
ference to the carrier, he must Shout
der his big leather pouch of mail and
plod along and see that Mr.. Business
Man gets his letters and that the
heavy parcel post packages are all
delivered on time.

An I'll tell you one, before we fade

1t was in the days when trials used

And the late lamented James B
CAN'T was Judge,
Then the man who wanted Ticker
didn't have so far to go
1t was long before this pro-hi-bishur

Sheriff Mudd was then our sheriff
and Perry Black and me
Was a-settin on Jury, and old man
Armstrong, too;
An III say that he was siingy, as the
catastrophee
Of this here yarn will surely prove to
you.
Well, the case was mighty TEDIOUS,
and us fellers like to died
Before they finished up their evy-
dence.
AID the case was pleaded fully, sew
cral hours on the side,
SO we was all ejausted when the time
come to commence
To consider OF orr verdict, and delib-
crate the facts.
We elected Armstrong foreman--the
first befuddled thing
That transpired there in the course
OF our fool ac's;
Then we all set round a-smokin, ana
oil Armstrong had pipe
That he hadn' cleaned out since be-
fore the war;
1t was strong as Samson, and its
fumes would make we grippe,
And he d blow her out, around the
water jar.
After we had smoked season oil
Armstrong gave knock
On the door, an when the sheriff
come to see,
He said: 20 mister sheriff bring me

Well, o course the rest of us was
suffcri:l' from drought.
But wee ith -have-1,o- taste for

So we had to see OIL Armstrong roll
the Ticker in his mouth,
An look like we enjoyed his drink,
and wait.
After arguing amongst lis for half all

The foreman made all order for an
other little spree,
An when the sheriff took it, and
turned around to go,
lle said AN jes leetle bit o asa

Now Id been drinkin water, and the
other fellers had,
An the nicoteen in that had made lis

So when we heard him say that, why
all OF us was mad,
An decided that we'd fool him at his
trick.
SO when he got the bottle, and start

We all said: Thank ye, Armstrong,
we'd like a little nip.

ROOSEVELT IS 1OLO OF
HONOR At HYDE PARK
Speaks To 5000 From Largest
Front Porch Yet Brought
Into Campaign

Hyde Park, Aug. 9.-Franklin D.
Roosevelt accepted the Democratic
nomination for Vice President this
/ afternoon from the largest front
porch which has yet appeared in the
campaign and in the presence of
about 5000 persons scattered over
lawn which covers acres and acres
and dwarfs all other lawns now in
politics to the size of window boxes.
Democratic politicians and friends
of Mr. Roosevelt came from all parts
of the State, and one of his admirers
made the trip from Alaska for the
occasion.
The crowd was enthusiastic for
the famous man in an informal and
;affectionate way, and the whole ev-
ent resembled that of an admiring
but not overawed community being
addressed by a super-valedictirian.
He Stops to Smile
Mr.. Roosevelt had to stop and
smile, almost TO blush once or twice,
when he was interrupted in some
of his most impressive statements by
shouts of encouragement and advice
from impulsive hero worshippers,
who stood in a semi-circle on the
wide graveled driveway or under the
giant elms, naples and pines.
sic him shouted one of the NOM
inee's self.appointed advisors as Mr..
Roosevelt grew warm and gesticula-
tory in one of his attacks on the Re-
publican party. 'Whee' and Hur-
ray and Good boy, mixed with ap-
plause and shouts, greeted passage
after passage of his speech.
