The postal authorities rent 'to persons or firms doing a large mail business a machine called a postage .adder, which stamps an official mark on all letters passed through it and registers the amount of postage due. It Works in much the same way as a gas meter. It stamps on the letter the date and hour and amount of postage required. The stamping of an envel~ rope takes less than two seconds, or at the rate of two thousand per hour. The new apparatus .is designed espec— ially to save labor and time to large firms or to persons who have a large icorrespo‘rndence. An additional ad- vantage is that it is not necessary to cancel the postmark of the postage adder at the post office. 0n consulting 'the adder, the postage due is seen at a glance, and when the amount is paid “there is no further trouble—Golden Days. _ i‘T‘INnIAN GIRLS GIVE A PARTY. ‘The Peculiar Names of Some of Those in ‘ Attendance.

'Of course you believe your present wheel is perfection and that no other ma- chine rivals it, but you ever noticed that while riding your bicycle, either slowly, at good speed, or on a windy day, your skirt is continually drawn. betWeen the guard and rear wheel ? I no doubt have been thrown off by this disagreeable catching of - your. skirt, or have torn it until 'you are disgusted with wheeling. agent selling bicycles will tell you your dress is too long or not the proper style, but this is not true. Your dress is all right and becom- ing. The fault lies with the wheel. The guard does not extend back- ward far enough over the wheel, nor has it the right pitch. The only two wheels on the market that will not catch your skirt are sold by me. One is the and the other isIthe Saracen.

The San Francisco Wave tells a story of a judge .on the Pacific Coast, noted for his tendengy to explain things to his juries, who expressed in a. recent case his own ideas with such force“. that he thought it almost un- necessary for the jurors to leave the box. They did leave it, however, and were out hours. Inquiring the trouble, was standing out against the eleven. He summoned the jury and rebuked the recalcitrant sharply. “Your Hon or,” said the juror, “may I say a word?” “Yes, sir,” said the indignant judge; “what have you to say?" 2 “Well, what I wanted to say is, I’m ‘ the only fellow that’s on your side.” Always Under a Flag. The Augusta, Ga., News tellsof a woman in that city who‘has never been from under the Confederate flag since it became her flag. Whether walking, eating or sleeping, there is always a Confederate flag over her head. VVhlle walking on the streets there is always a flag in her hat, and no matter how many hats or bonn-ets she has, there is always to be found a flag pinned on the inside of the crown. On the headpost of her bed is securely fastened a large flag of the Confeder- ate States. The flag is as necessary for her as three meals a day. She says she has never surrendered and never will. ’ J. D. Jennings. UNDERTAKER . Opposite . Street Railway Depot. \ GET BELL AT OFFICE. Hoyt’s Theatre. MONDAIIIII’RIL 26.
