FREELAND, PENN'A, JULY 20, 1897.
liailrouds and the Postoflice*
The postmaster generals' reports for |
1891 and 1895 show that the average I
price for carrying the mail was * cents
per pound, and this for an average dis- j
taiicu of lis miles. The Texas and j
Southern Pacific Railroad carries caps,
boots, cassimeres and hardware for 8-10
>f a cent a pound, from New Orleans to
San Francisco, 2,500 miles, or five times
the average haul of the mail for which 8
cents a pound is paid; that is, the govern
ment pays fifty times as much. On an I
investigation before the Inter-State Com - ,
ruerco Commission, George R. Blanehan! j
testified that the express companies
•arried milk to New York, a distance o:
i'.Mi miles, at a charge of 1-0 of a cent ;
per pound, returning the cans free, and
: licit the distance could he Increased t
l,uoo miles and there would still bo n
profit at 1-0 of a cent; while the govern
ment pays for the transportation of the ;
mails over the same lines s cents for an
average of l is miles, besides paying for
the annual rental of the cars largely
more than 200 per cent on their cosl. j
Joseph 11. Choate, who appeared fur the ,
railroads at the same investigation, j
testified that at a rate of 1-3 of a cent ;t 1
.pound on forty-quart cans of milk there ,
would be a profit of 200 to .300 per cent.
The amount paid the railroads for the 1
rental of the postal cars is §3,000,000 i
annually, a sum more than enough to i
Guild outright nearly double the number
of postal cars the government lias in j
use. There are 500 postal cars iu use.
costing $3,500 to $4,000 each. These
the government could build for less than !
$2,000,000, and their average life bcinj i
twenty years, it follows that at the pre>- I
ent rental of $3,000,000. the government
is paying $72,000,000 for property it
could acquire for $2,000,000. On the 1
Pennsylvania Railroad the government j
pays annually $7,327 a car for the ren
of 00 cars, which could each be bought ;
outright for less than half the tuone.
Thus over 200 per cent is paid by the !
government as rental of postal cars j
which it should own. On the New York
Central the government does worse; it
actually pays $8,500 for annual rental of
postal cars which can be bought f< r
$3,500. or less, nearly 250 per cent, inter
est. In this way $3,000,000 a year is
spent for rentals, whereas, if the govern
ment would build the 500 cars at, say.
$3,500 each—a full usiimatt —the outlay i
would be $1,750,000, or less than half j
the annual rental.
Besides the annual $3,000,000 for
rental of postal cars, the sum appro
priated to railroads for hauling the mails
is $29,000,000, an amount which many
deem fully $15,000,000 in excess of a fair
and moderate charge. Not only this,
but it is in evidence that iu the month
set apart for the quadrennial weighing
of the mails, many railroads, if not all,
are in the habit of shipping vast num
bers of sacks of congressional mail,
books and pamphlets to points on their
lines, and then reshipping them again
and again to swell the gross weight on
which they are. to receive pay for the
j next four years. So common is thej
i habit that, when some were caught red
j handed, the excuse of their officers w.u-.
"They all do it," and the department
was not powerful enough to secure any
j punishment of the confessed offender.-*. i

WHAT THE WOOD SAID.
What said the wood in the tiro
To the little boy tliut.p Ight—
The little boy of the golden hair.
As fie rocked himself In his little urni- j

When the blaze was burning bright?
The wood said: "See,
j What they've done to me!
I stood In the forest—a beautiful tree! I
And waved my branches from east to
And many a sweet bird built its nest
In my leavt s of green
That loved to lean
In springtime over the daisies' breast.
I "From the Hossomy dclltf

I And rest< d under my shadows sweet,
And the winds that went over the clover

j Of the flow< rs that grew
| In the beautiful meadows that dreamed at
J my feet!
"And the wild wind's caresses
| Oft rumpled my tresses.
| Cut. sometimes, us soft as a mother's lip

On the brow of the child of her bosom, it
laid
j Its lips on my leaves, ami I was not afraid'
| And I listened and heard
1 The small heart of each bird
i As it bee t in the rests that their mothers

i "And springtime sweet faces

places,
j And und< r my grateful und loy-givlng

When I w as u little girl I read a story
about a cat named Tubby Fur Purr,
j This wonderful cut was famous the j
world over because sllie hud lea rued the |
; secret of how not to like birds. Other
cuts of less refined instincts came from
j all tilie neighboring 1 countries to look (
j upon this strangely abstemious mem
| ler of tlheir species, who was so old
; that she hud lived in the age when real i
pussies grew on willow trees. This, of
i course, was only a story, and I never j
•'TOMMY' AM) HIS FAMILY OF YOUNG HATS.
expected to see in real life anything to
uppnach such virtue in a cut. A day
J or two ago, however, I made a disoov
ery wliieh proved to me that although
| the stories one reads in hooks are not
, always founded on fact, a great many
of them might be true just us wt 11 ;us
not.
In this ease the reality was even
stranger than the story, for it was
i nothing less than a great big Tommy
j absurdly posing as mother to a family
i of a dozen rats. They all live peueeubly
' together in a little wire house, ami
nothing could be more, beautiful than
the solicitude with which the big fel
low cares for his strange children, lie
licks their sleek coats to keep them
clean, us any pussy would do for her
kittens, and puts tihcm lovingly with his
big, soft paws; and lie is never happy
without them. Of course, there is some
explanation for nil this, and thereby
hangs a tale -a cat tale, at that.
This cat makes his home in Ikiltiinore
with Mr. Charles Johnson, who is so
proud of liis lodger that he exhibits
him in Ids store window free of charge
to nil passers-by. Ife cannot boast of
anything like the age of his fabled
i predecessor, being scarcely two years
| .-f age, and he was only about one year
j old when he came into possession of his
I rat family. Perhaps he may not realize
| the fact, but these responsibilities hove
j been heaped upon him as a penance for
j a crime committed in his youth.
■ Some time last summer Mr. Johnson
was presented with a pair of rats, a
number which very soon increased to
ten. Shortly after this- addition to the
| family the male rat. died, leaving Mrs.
Ilat solo provider for the family. One
day w hen she was out, of her cage for
an airing Mr. Thomas Cut pounced
i upon her. and in less time than it takes
to tell it there was a family of orphan
r.its jn the wire enge hard by.
Thomas, of course, was punished, and
he HcemOd very penitent, but what to
do with t lie orphans was n problem.
I
At lust Mr. Johnson hit upon the idea of
; of making 1 Thomus atone for his sins.
Tukipg the crest fallen eat in his urms
he went up to the cage and explained
: the situation to him.
i "You see," he said, "these rats have i
[ 110 mother and you are the wicked cuuse I
i of it. all. Now, what ure you going to |
ilo? Will you leave these babies to die. I
or will you take eareof them yourself?"
Tommy seemed to realize that some
thing was expeeted of him. but he j
didn't know exactly what to do; so he !
only looked sorry and kept quiet-, which 1
was the most sensible thing for any- j
| body to do under such circumstances. ;
i Mr. Johnson then undertook to tench
the cat what he wished him to do. Tak- j
ing out one of the rats L he set it down 1
beside Tommy. 1 lut here was where
the ratv showed his need of iustruetion
by darting away from this great big
animal which his mother hud taught
him to fear. The movement was too
much for the penitent out's g a d reso
lutions, and lie- reached out quickly to
strike the fugitive; but he only got
his paws slapped for such disobedience.
He did the same thing several times
until finally lie learned his lesson, and,
instead of striking at the rat, merely
patted it gently and caressingly licked
its back. Even the rat began to under
stand by this time, and Mr. Johnson
thought it safe to put the cat into the j
cage. At first the little creatures all 1
seemed to be very much of liim, ;
but they could not resist his kindly |
overtures, and soon snuggled up close j
to his soft- fur.
All this happened last August, and
since then the rats have grown to their '
fell size. Other baby rats have come
to increase the number, but. Mr. John- '
son does not run the risk of rivalry |
between the mother rat and the mother I
I cat. He. removes Mrs. Hat and her
| family from the enge, and us soon as
| they are old enough to leave their
. mother he takes a few of them from
; her and puts them under Tommy's
care. Thus is this sinful but penitent
eat destined to spend his days nur- 1
! taring the little animals which others
of his species regard as their natural
P'.V- |
The experiment has been a most in-
I t cresting one to the owner of the cat, 1
and his remarkable success may Inspire
i other possessors of young eats to try ;
i converting them from their evil ways i
| in the same manner. Those who make
the attempt, however, should beaar in
i mind that no animal—not even a boy
or girl - -is good naturcd and tractable j
i when he is hungry, and the cat which
I is taught n.ot to eat rats must be kept :
I well supplied, with food that, he is al- '
i lowed to cat.

but they were unable to market them.
While carrying out this part of their
plan they were arrested, and what they
intended for a honeymoon became a j
stay in jail.
They were tried und convicted. The j
youth of both prisoners had much to do ;
with the fuct that they received a light j
sentence- a year lu the penitentiary. I
! A year is a long time to fond lovers j
when the year means separation. Six- !
teen-vear-old Gertie declared that it was
' a shame, and that the time would never

In the county jail the lovers were al
lowed to see and talk to each other
daily and the result of these talks was
the resolve to be married before they
were taken to the penitentiary and thus
I separated.
One thing stood in the way of their
carrying out their plans. Gertie had not

The bride and bridegroom were taken

j and there they were met by a minister,
who joined them in marriage. They
seemed as liappy as they expected to be
when they mounted the horses and rode

ALL THE BUG'S FAULT.
Spoiled Her Gown Ilocause It Perched

If it hauu't been for the bug it

Dressed in a fetching cycle gown of
, fashionable tan-colored material, says
! the- New York Journal, she rode along
Eighteenth avenue in front of the lit -
tie chapel near the cycle path. She rode
well, too, and she knew it. She handled
her bicycle gracefully with only one
hand on the handle bars, and she could
turn around in the saddle with ease and
look behind her to see who wus coining,
i Furthermore, she could ride well with
both hands olf the handle bars,
j Hut it was the bug that did the mls
; chief. The little nuisance just flew

there was a muffled sort of crash. With

she reached down into her pocket, very

"You needn't stare so," said she to a
