Once there was a nail-man
Who went to catch some fish: ,
He took with him a basket
' And a little china dish.
" l‘ll use one for the fishes.
The other when i sup;
For. it they meet my wishes‘
I'll cook and eat them up i"
no when and mum the whole day long,
From morn till late at night:
Hc halted hooks and watched his bob,
But could not get a bite.
llc then threw down his rod and lino.
A lid vowed he’d go below.
To "3M out what the reason was ’
Tun-fish had used him so.
The fish all ZathM around him.
Each wag :lnc his own tail.
From the little pwliy-woggy
To the great gigantic whale.
Some fish were looking scaly.
And some excecding‘ thin.
But all were glad to we the man.
And offered him a tin.
They said: 33 We have no china Iii~
Nor basket snug and tight:
But we are very prudent fish.
“rho think before we bite.

Ere we sit down and sup."
And so, before lils very eye.

Not the least of his griefs was the being

HOW WE PROGRESS.
I'ho Mail- on They \l’ere Rin- nun-I
Last Century. '
Less than two hundred years ago a
was issued creating the oflioe of Pos
for the colonies of America, but no
name of it. because there were. not enough
letters mailed to justify the establishment
of aservice. About 1720 a line of riders
extended from Philadelphia to several points
in Virginia. but the service was extremely
irregular. because the post was never sent
out with a mail until enough letters had
been gathered to pay the expense. of the
trip. and no one could. therefore.‘ tell when
his missive would be forwarded. The speed
was usually about thirty miles n day. and
when. at the first of this century. the rider.
by changing horses. made 100 miles in the
twenty-four hours. the achievement was
marveled at. More mails are now received
in II single day in New York than were then
in six months: and more lettors there in
one day than then in the whole country
during a year. The mail then between New
York and Boston was carried in s singlt
pair of saddle-bags. and when the quantit3
increased s-i that two pairs had to be used.
the carriers renioimtrated so loudly that the
matter became of considerable conse-
illl(‘u(‘t‘. .
'l‘o r-AcIAivc a letter then was a great event
no neihhborhmid. since years sometimes
passed without a letter being brought to a
country town, and when one came. it was a
signal far all the neighbors to come in and
hear it read. Letters often took six weekr
to go from Philadelphia to the country
towns of Massachusetts. and during thin
time the carriers had abundance of leisure
to r-ad them and get their contents by
hear. an opportunity they were not slow to
Ise. 'I‘ here was no law forbidding them to
lo tlils.‘ and Its tilt-y enjoyed telling the
3mm they bore. and the people liked t1
listen to them. this arrangement was very
satisfactory. This practice. so abominable
to those who corresponded. continued for
many years until the number of letters and
great-Ar expedition in their carriage prevent.-
ed the carriers from reading them. For

the wall of the dour-yard-were only tolerated
because it was too much trouble to dig their
long tap-roots! But Joseph Fielding liked
flowers as well as 'l‘inv. He had planted a

Cattle raising in the “est in life on the
frontier. It is a life of ccascless monotony.
1'th is but little danger of tho Indians
being attracted away from Government
rations in search of scalps. The extinction
of the buffalo before the rifles of the white
robe hunters has solved the Indian question.
The ranges that these animals used to mi»
grate over two and fro are now cattle ranges
over which the stock growers ride. There
is nothing fascinating in tho life of a cow-
boy or in that of an owner of a small herd.
It can be summed up in a few weeks‘ hard
riding in the spring during tho branding
round up in the fall. The rest of the year
is spent in watching the horns of cattlI
grow. in counting the rings on the base as
those weapons of defence. and in cooking
and eating baconand bread. This attnictivo
life is varied by men who have families and
sufficient means by living in some little
squalid frontier town. Life in one of these
towns is not attractive. The men loaf.
Time hangs heavily on the handy of such
men as cannot supply themselves with in-
tellectual amusement by sitting on an empty
dry ghod box and pounding their boot heel-
against the resounding sides while discuss-
ing bucking ponies and cows whose tails
have been frozen off; These idle stock
