John and Robert Evans, twins, are widely known because of their amaz ing likeness in physical make-up and their apparent power of thought teleg rapny. The boys are about 18 years old and are the sons of J. E. Evans, a well-to-do farmer, who not long ago moved to Trailville, 0., from Pennsyl vania. They hav been reared much as ither boys. They possess alltheimpulse that ordinary boys possess and in addi tion power, inexplicable even to themselves, of communicating with one another, even though they be mile separated. John and Robert have light hair and blue eyes. They have always been dressed alike and strangers are invari ably mixing them up. Their likenesi Is so marked that the father has never been sure which is John and which is Robert. Their mother, however, can ell her boys apart. In their babyhood ven she could never be sure. Within the year this likeness be tween them, says the Xew York World, served a purpose on one occasion. Rob ert had been paying attention to a country lass who lived not far away from Evans'. It was customary for htm to visit her each Sunda- evening. On one occasion he had promised to ake her riding on the following Sun Jay night, but he was called away and Sunday found itimpossible to keep his engagement. He asked his brother John to fill his appointment. John en tered into the plot with spirit and drove briskly to the home of his broth er's sweetheart. John had been coached upon the themes usually dis cussed, and the girl believed from the beginning to the end of the ride that she was with Robert, and might never have known to the contrary had the twins not thought the joke too good to keep. About four months ago John wss sent into the woods to hew some trees - """ A TELEPATHIC SUMMONS. Willie Robert helped his father build fences on another part of the farm al siost a mile distant. Just before din ner Robert dropped a piece of timber which he was carrying and cried out vigorously. Turning about, the father saw Robert standing with his eyes slosed yet talking hastily: "John is hurt; I can hear him scream and see him; the ax glanced from the tree and struck him on the foot; he it bleeding dreadfully; he has begun to tear up his shirt to bind the wound; he is sitting near the old spring back of the peach orchard." Suddenly Robert started on the run toward the point whera the brother had gone. Mr. Evan followed some what dazed. When ha arrived he found that John had cut hie foot by a glancing blow and had torn up his shirt-sleeve to bind the wound. lie had cried out in pain when the ax struck him and seemed not surprised that Robert knew of his plight. Not long afterward Robert was working alone behind the plow more than a mile from the house. While steering the plow through rocky ground the share was broken off. There seemed nothing to do but go home, although it was only mid-aft ernoon. Then Tlohert determined to make hla want known to hl ! He closed his eyes and tried, he to ret bli brother'a attention.

Their Kataltllahment Ia Essential tt the Maintenance of Kural Free Delivery Hoatra. Good roads are one of the features necessary to the establishment of rural free delivery routes. It is evident that the post ottiee department meant busi ness when it declared at the start that no free delivery routes would be maintained over poor roads. Not only must the roads be good in the begin ning, but they must be kept in proper order, or the route will be abolished. An eastern postmaster recently re ceived the following letter, which shows plainly the attitude of the post office department: "Reports recently received show that the roads traveled by rural carrier from your oflice are in bad condition and likely to be impassable in bad weather. You will please notify the patrons of routes one and two that the present lack of attention to these roads will, if continued, be likely to en danger the permanency of the rural free delivery service there. "A rural carrier cannot possibly make regular time or perform efficient service over poor roads, particularly during the winter and spring months. The S'tiiiinier is the time for mending these highways, which are really serv ing as post roads, and which should always be in passable condition fot the transport of mail. It is the hope of the department that the patrons who are receiving the benefit of the service appreciate it. and that an ef fort to repair all deficient portions be fore winter sets in, so that the perma nency of rural free delivery service may he insured."
