THE PARCELS POST.
The Logical Cutccrne of the Rural
F"ieo Delivery Service.
The national grange will set in mo- |
tlon ;ne strong forces this fall to se-.
ri-re t! e enactment of a p-troels post |
v. It i-- going to lie the hnrdert j
i;io;l of a tight, but some sort of a I
law governing the transportation in,
the malls of small packages up to
eleven pounds or so weight Is surely
comitg in the near future, and the
grant" 1 i< g ling to be the imp irtant
factor in its accomplishment, as it was
in regard t > the rural free delivery
system. X irlonal Master Bachelder
P:"M in an a.'dress delivered before the
Xew tlampshlre Retail Grocers' asso
ciation, "A cheap parcels post is, in
fact, the logical outcome of the rural
ma!; service and the one thing needed
' ■ make it se'f supporting." The grange
; 'in provides for a general parcels
r-'-t v illi a maximum weight limit of
el- vet: pon.-i.l-! to cost 25 cents to any
P . to; .ce in the United States and a
rural parcels post with the same max
imum weight, the rates to be 1 cent for
< .'..-h pound or fraction thereof and 1
cent tor each additional two pounds i
uo to eleven pounds, and this rural |
rate .-> be available only on any one j
rural route to and from the postotlice
to which the route belongs. This Is ;
probably the proposition which the na
tion.*.; grnng- will ask the various state
granges to indorse this winter.
Whet the Grange Wants.
Ex-Governor C. J. Bell of Vermout.
.-.sked recently in a newspaper Inter
view, "What does the grange hope to
accomplish In the next few years?"
..-•Id: ■
"A.nong the reforms for whtch we
will strive are: The parcels post, in
mar." fta the postal savings bank,
national aid for good roads everywhere
as one of tito things very essential to
■he farmer, eentrnllzed schools in lo
• .i!;..es where conditions are favorable,
the Introduction of agricultural studies
in the public schools, not entirely fur a
cotn.nerchil purpose, but also for edu
'iinl advantages. The grange al
wn. .< st.it '- for g<xid citizenship and
as much :• ■:iy organization stands for
the thin .Ulch will produce it. Its
policy \vi" 1 • nonpartisan, but always
for the Good citizenship means
rau.-li is all that need be said along
that line The organization Is now rec
cgi.tzed by congress and taken into
eoi lueration on legislation affecting
farmers."
■.v Viii the grange get all the things
for which it is now striving?" was
asked.
' Vr-s, everything, and I say this be
cause the things for which we stand
are rigbt."

I "Rattlesnakes on Toast" Was
the Cowboy's Order.
! SUT HE MET WITH HiS MATCH '
i !
The Promptness With Which the '
Tough Waiter Served the Dish Took |
I tho Terror's Nerve Away—Ths Re- j
past srd the Final Request.
! Away back in IS7G a man named j
| Turpiu established a restaurant iu j
j Yuma, and among Turpin's original j
employees was a waiter named Job i
; Straight, who could shoot with great :
I precision, piay draw poker with uu
'■ varying success and puck eighteen
I plates of miscellaneous grub upon one
: bare una at one time. He could exe-
I cute all the prevailing melodies either
lon piano or guitar, and he possessed
j the most tremendous baritone voice
j ever heard In Arizona. Why, men some
i times went to Turpin's just to hear Joe
| deliver gastronomic orders. No per
! feet, description can be given of that
! voice, however, except to say that at
i times it really did make things clatter.
I Once a fresh young cowboy from
i near Gila Bend entered Turpin's for a
! Christmas dinner who took a startling
concoction as an appetizer and then
dr.'Vped thud-like at a table and rough
ly shouted to Straight:
"Say. there, BaUly! Bring me some
grub!"
Job was at lirst appalled; but, recov
ering his reserve limit of equanimity,
he brushed an imaginary breadcrumb
from the frescoed tablecloth and
whisked a bill of fare from the varie
gated castor and placed It before the
I new young terror of the Bend.
| "Take it away!" cried the latter in
; tones that could give Straight's ordl
[ nary, everyday baritone a castle and
| checkmate it In five moves. "I don't
j want to read your darned old tract,
j I don't care a darn who came iuto the
| world to save sinners. Bring me some
: grub—g-r-u-b! Grub! Grub! Grub!"
j "What do you want?"
j "Uiittlcsnakes on toast! And I Want
j you t.) hump yourself!"
| "What's that?"
j "I've given my order, you bnldheaded |
i old cigar store sign, and I want you to i
I get a move on yourself, p. d. q. Itattle
! snakes on toast!"
"Rattlesnakes on toast!" cried Job to
S the cook in accents that would have
j paralyzed Carl Kormes had that old
basso profundo been living and heard
them.
' Rattlesnakes on toast!" was there- |
verhrratlng response Erom the cook
upon receiving the order.
There were a dozen or more people in
the restaurant, and their eyes were at
once turned on tho youug person from
i the Bend and the Infuriated waiter
' In the meantime the cook had taken
! « big catfish and cut It Into four strips
j and rolled these strips in batter, so
- that they much resembled the viand or
i dered, aud after placing tliem in the
• frying pan he stuck his head out of the
' kitchen and shouted to Job:
| "You want them rattlers rare or well
I done?"
I The waiter repeated the Interrogatory
j In a cyclonic way, and the terror re
| plied In as violent a tone and manner
■as he could command. "Well done, with
, plenty of gravy and Chill Colorado."
And then Job thundered to the cook:
"Well done, with plenty of Chill Colo
rado, hot as , aud moccasin gravy
on the side and brochettes of sand
crane livers aud Gila monster lights!"
The-e was an instantaneously dead
ill, -' i'i tVt restaurant, and all eyes
were iiga . * ast upon the terror and
the waiter. Tbe former turned nshen
pule end began to weaken perceptibly,
whi!-: Job gazed at Ills victim.
"Maybe you don't think we can serve
ail the market affords," muttered Job.
"Maybe you don't like moccasin gravy
ior brochettes a la mode. Maybe you
ain't hungry!"
"Say! You've got me—l ain't hungry,
so help me. I couldn't eat a single hard
billed cg>;. Countermand that durned
order, old man, and I'll pay all ex
penses inicl set 'em up as long as any-
I body can drink. Beg pardon, gentle
' men, all. My first attempt to be a ter
j ror -pardon me, gentlemen. It's my
jlast!"
i And then he hHuded his revolver to
| Job and added:
i "Take that pistol, old man, as a
, present and promise me that the next
j time any durned fool comes In here
and calls for rattlesnakes on toast
I you'll «hoot him dead!"
But Straight was tot* raving mad all
1 the way through to willingly emerge
from a situation only tolerably tri'
I umphant. So he took the weapon just
i as the order was being placed on the
| table and, pointing it at the terror,
i exclaimed:
! "Now, then, my boy, dump yourself
iuto that chair and sat them snakes
bones, skin and nil!"
j The young fellow did as he was com
manded, but after finishing his repast
. i staggered the uncompromising Job by
| shouting:
j "I say, Baldy, bring me another
plate of snakes!"- Denver News.
Wanted New Ones.
i A traveler puttlug up at a fifth class
i hotel brought the "boots" up with his
antrry storming.
"Want your room changed, sir?
i What's the matter, sir?"
"The room's all right," fumed the
guest scorchingly; "ifs the fleas I ob
i jeet to, .that's all."
; "Mrs. Bloobs," bawled the "boots'* in
au uninterested Bort of voice, "the
