THESE POINTS
|. FOR better MAILING

Postmaster w. G. Powell has been
requested to bring before the public,
some of the reasons why it seems
necessary to promulgate Better
Mailing"
After little reflection, the follow
ing statistic will, believe convince
you Of the need of Better Mailing
Week" about fifty-two times a year.
Do you know that 21,000.OOO, let
ters and 803 parcels went to the
Dead Letter Office last year? That
100000 letters 60 into the mail year
,ly in perfectly blank envelopes?
That $4,000 in cash, $4,000 in
postage stamps and $S,OO0,OOO in
checks, drafts and Money Orders is
removed annually from misdirected
envelopes.
That it costs Uncle Sam $1,740,-
900 every year to look up addresses on
Emisdirected mail7 That 100000, 900
letters alone are given this service
annually.
That from the Aberdeen Post Office
an average Of 432 letters are sent to
the Dead Letter Office each month or
51S4 annually.
| One cannot adequately estimate the
trouble, worry, disappointment, loss
of business, loss Of friendship, loss of
opportunity and grief caused by the
misdirected and insuficiently address
ed letters and packages.
Every body knows his own ad-
dress if not that Of his correspondent
so put it in the upper left hand cor
ner, this helps materially.
The Postmaster General has thot
perhaps it might be necessary to with
draw the service of the Dead Letter
Office, if the work and expense con-
tinues to grow as it has in the last
few years, as was the case when the
Department discontinued the service
of looking up mail addressed by one
party to another in the same city;
this was done of course as the Depart
ment figured when a letter was adj
dressed to ]. Johnson, City, and the
Post Office was serving six or more J..
Johnsons, that the sender knew much
better which one it was intended for
than the postal employees could guess
as one can readily see that it might
be most an endless job unless the
(employee were an Alexander" or the
Great Murdoch.
At the present time it costs the
Aberdeen Post Office about $3.50 per
day to handle the "Nixies" or mis-
directed or insuficiently addressed
mail coming to this Office from other
Post Offices.
Every little helps, and each one can
assist in many ways to spread the
propaganda of Better Mailing"
Many have aided this work, which
results in a mutual benefit. Please
accept this as an acknowledgment OF
depreciation.

application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hun.
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition OF
other ingredients at a small cost, all
ready for use. It is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can ALWAYS be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre to
your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell 1t has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking enc small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous.--Adv.

Another New York Musical COM
edy Success, which, when played by
the Fred Howard Musical Comedy Re
vue at the Bijou Friday and Saturday

ing trip. $3.50
The girl comes home and goes to

tearing her dress. She comes to the
bachelors apartments seeking q
needle and thread. The butler con-
sents to take her dress to the tailors,
while she, in a pink kimono, waits in
the spare room.
With the two women in his rooms
the bachelor returns unexpected, with
a party Of friends, to celebrate his
birthday. His father FIRED Howard)
comes for visit. So does an actress
ruth Albrightl and two other friends

The complications that arise are
amusing to an extreme. It would be
unfair to tell more Come and see
the threads unraveled and the story
brought to happy close.
The musical numbers are especial
ly good. Fred Howard is down for
-'Ships that never come in" The Man
hatten trio are singing several num-

them. Sylvia Howard does dance
specially. Miss Howard is late OF
the Ziegfeld Follies and brings all
the late dance steps from the east.
All in all "A Bachelors Night" is

very best stock offerings ever pre-
scented for approval of Aberdeen the

who unnecessarily alarm the public
than anything else / know of"
Referring to the general charges in
the article, Mr.. Frayne said it was
possible to clear up any given case
through the joint agencies in the
building trades and that never had
there been less cause for a provoca-
tive article Of the kind.
Roswell d. Thompkins, veteran Sec
rotary of the New York Building
Trades Council, remarked that the
present agreement with the employ
ers was most harmonious and there
had been no disputes of any conse-
quence in several years.
Disputes Quickly Settled
Mr.. TomplZins pointed out that a
dispute on job, is usually settled
within Ave minutes by telephone
call to the contractors representative
who sees that the violation is re-
moved.
1--WE do more in five-minute con-
versation that way than in weeks OF
striking; disputes are practically I'M
known on association jobs" he said.
The New York building trades are
moving fast with the seasonal work
and are continuing their astonishing
output Of structures with a speed that
compels the admiration of the entire
world with the exception of the crit
les, who look at everything with the
squirt eyes of professional fault
finder.

The story Of the "Six Men OF Dor
set Is the story Of six men who were
carried in chains to Van Dieman's
Land fer asking for q shilling q week
increase in wages. They were SEN
fenced to serve seven years, but were
liberated after three years Of uproar
and protest in England and through
out the colonies.
The six Men. Of Dorset" or "Six
Martyrs Of Tolpuddle," as you choose,
were George and James LoveIess,
brothers; James Hammett, their
brother-in-Iaw; Thomas Stanfield,
James Brine and a sixth, who is de-
scribed as "a good speaker named
Clarke
For forming "a little club to get a
shilling week more" q jury Of land
ed squires, sitting in Judgment over
the SIX, found them guilty. Judge
Williams, on the bench in Dorchester,
In 1894, sentenced them to servitude
in prison colony half way around
the world.
mot for anything you have done
wrong, as far as we can prove" the
sentence read, "but to prevent fur
Their agitation through the country /
sentence you, one and all, to seven
years penal servitude beyond the high
seas.1
They were manaeled, marched on
foot to Portsmouth and carried in
chains on the Success to q scarcely
known south sea colony. A voyage of
torture and pain that took six months
brought them to Van Dieman's Land,
an island off the south coast of Aus
tralia, now known as Tasmania.
Protests, meanwhile, were made. A
petition bearing the names Of 266, 600
persons and carried at the head Of
$4,000 workingmen was placed before
Parliament. After much elaboration
which ran close into three years, the
lords and commoners decreed mis-
take had been made. LET them come
back" was the word from London.
( YEARLY working as exiles in the
Tasmanian "bush," they heard of il
six months later. Five would not re.
turn to England, but settled in Lon
don, Ontario.
When the ship was leaving Eng.
land one of the six men threw tbs
following poem to friend on tht
dock at Portsmouth:
''God is our guidei From field, from
| wave,
| From pillow, from anvil and loom,
We come, our country's rights to save
And speak tyrant factions doom
We raise the watchword, Liberty;

cabin were extended to the visitors,
and a mass of records and photo
graphs that had been turned over to
the ship by Mrs. Glazbrook were
brought out. The records were COM
piled by Mrs. Glazbrook's father and
related exclusively to the "Six Men
Of Dorset" Mrs. Glazbrook said that
James. Brine died at London, Ont,
August IL, 1901, and is buried in ST.
loan Cemetery at that place.
The instruments Of torture on exhi-
bition and the explanation of their
use make the blood run cold, There
is the branding iron, for example,
with which the convicts were branded
with a red-hot iron in the palms Of
their hands to make their identified
ton certain in the event Of escape.
Then there are the fogging frames to
which the victims were chained while
being fiogged, such foggings often be-
ing followed by death.
There are leg irons and body irons
with handouts attached, the punish
ment ball, the spiked collar and the
iron straitjacket, the latter the in
vention of the fiendish Capt. John
Price, who was finally murdered by
the convicts and for which seven Of
them were hanged.
The original cat-o'nine-tails is on
display. It is made of strands of raw
hide, bound with brass wire and tip
ped with pellets of lead. Many men
have died under its lash.
There also is the awful ''black hole"
for insubordinate prisoners and the
compulsory bath, in which many were
drowned.
The Success was built at Moulmein,
India, in 1890, and was used as an
armed East india merchantmen until
1902, when she was chartered by the
British government to transport con-
victs to the penal colonies. She was
notorious as the principal "devil ship"
in this traffic up to 1857, when out
ragged public opinion in England and
Australia forced the abandonment Of
the @hell feet"

Here the Austrians have prepared a
