BTe Makes a Strong Plea fer tbe Karal Carriers. Mr. Aiken. Mr. Chairman, as I wai one >f the first Members of tbla body to ralae a roloe In behalf or Increased pay for rural carriers, and as I have at every opportune lme slnoe the beginning of my service In he House worked for and advocated tbe .. ?t ? aa /vnmo tnoocnrc T foAl 1 hat t hero s little new tbat I can bring to bear on the lubject. In reading tbe reports of tbe PostmasterJenerwl and of tbe Foartb Assistant be recommendations suggested therein ireso strikingly In line with my speech on be subject, made some three years ago, hat I almost leeltbatl am making my old peecb, Though I may not bring new arguments o bear, may I not hope to better drive those irguments home wltn an eznerlenoe of three rears Justifying every statement tbat I then nade and with those statements recommended by the highest authority In tbe iovernmeDlt Let me say at tbe outset, tbat 1 have no peclal desire to push my Individual bill If ome other bill embodying the same general >rovlslons stands a better cbance of pasage, My sole purpose Is to obtain favorable esults; to secure for our fajtbful carriers idequate pay for honest service. Three years ago I suggested tbat tbe oost >f the carrier's equipment was something i Ike 8850. Tbe Fourth Assistant Postmaster General makes the same statement. Then [called attention to tbe increase In mall ecelved, due to tbe rural service. Tbe Dejartments directs attention to this same faot. rben I called attention to tbe lighter work tod adequate pay of the city carrier, conrastlng it with tbe well-nigh exbauatlng vork of tbe rural carrier, who was workng for a bare subsistence. Tbe Department low dl/ects attention to tbe same state of ,blngs. Then I emphasised tbe statement bat thepav of rural carriers was Inadequate, >y oitlng the large number of resignations rom tbe service. Tbe Fourth Asslstabt Postmaster Oeneral calls attention to the ame, and bis report shows tbat out of 86,'i52Aarrlers emDioved at this time. 8.094 re ilgned In nix months. Nearly 10 per cant >rthe total number of men employed have -eslgned In six months. It la doubtful If .he entire Government service oomblned fill show more resignations lor the same eDgtb of time. Gentlemen, this speaks more eloquently >f tbe hardships of tbe carrier's life and of lis pitiful earnings than could tbe loglo ol Vrlstotle combined wltb tbe eloquence ol Demosthenes. In tbe language of Maobetb, t should appeal to ua "like angels trumpet ongned. Bear In mind that tbe recommendations >f tbe Postmaster General and ofbla Fourth Vsslstant are not tbe effusions of the polllclan, bat they are mature and deliberate ttDoloslons, based on tbe olosest scrutiny of he ?ervlcet with every possible opportunity or observing tbe work In detail. I fear that tbe rural servloe has suffered nore or less from tbe experimental nature >f tbe work In Its lnfanoy. Tbe experlmen,al stage, gentlemen, lias long alnce been lassed. Tbe people have long slnoe come o recognize It as tbe welding force anltlng gantry and town. Tbe olty and rural dlsrlcts are lnterdepedent, and yet before the naugaratlon of this service tbey were never >efore brought Into Immediate contaot. rbrongb this means a force Is at work to dls>el tbaf dissatisfaction with country life that iad well nlgh depopulated many rural secIons. Just here let me digress to say that tbe department should cot be too strlot in dle:ontlnulng existing routes because of aJeged lack of appreciation. There Is not me farmer In a thousand who does not.ap- < >reclRte this recognition by tbe GovernDent, and tbe very small per cent. If tbere ire any, wbo do Dot appreciate tbe aervloe dace themselves In tbe ranks of those who refer Inconvenience to oonvenlenoe, Ignormoe to Intelligence. Tbe approval or dlsipproval of snob would amount to nothing or or against tbe system. Tbe service now has the heartiest endorsenent of the Post Office Department, and tbe department Is outapoken In Its advocaoy for ncreased pay. If the city resident, wbo Is a consumer living upon his wits, has his mall lellveredat bis door. Is not tbe rural reallent, npon wnose mental and physical laboi ill of us are dependent In a greater or less decree, entitled to like consideration? They ire alike citizens of this Government. If tbe lapstone of onr prosperity Is laid In the olty, be foundation Is laid in tbe country. Taken as a whole, considering tbe lnoreaae if mall reoelved dne to tbe carrier system, It an be demonstrated that tbe rural service s almost If not quite self-anstalnlng. Bui bis is tbe smallest view to take of It. If tbe Government can afford to spend millions in rrlgatlng arid lands; If It can spend mllllona n improving rivers and harbors; If it 'can ifford to spend millions In opening up a waterway between tbe two oceans, all to mild np commerce and Industry, surely it lan afford to do sometblng for those of its iltltens wbo have coaxed from tbe soil it# lebest fruits, whose products In tbe markets if the world have made this a Titan in the ;aluxy of nations. What if some remote rural sections, strug;llng with a sparse population and attendant iifflcultles, do not meet tbe requirements ol be Department? Is It pot tbe part of policy i ho flnoornmpnt. to mutt A mm? little acrlflce to aid them In their straggle? Does be farseelng husbandman fertilize only the lober poitlons of hia field and leave the >oorer parts to beoome more barren year b.v rear? The Indispensable advantages of the rural lervloe in increased revenue to tbe Oovetnnent an 1 in conveniences brought to the itt'zen, whether In country or town, entitles be service to tbe same consideration that Is ircorded any other branch of pabllo service. iVbere, then, Is tbeezouse for discriminating igalnst tbe faithful oarrler? Tbe preseni lalary of tbe rnral oarrler, less tbe oost of ceoplng and maintaining an outfit, Is about UCO; tbe salary of tbe olty oarrler Is abont 11,000, averaged. This comparison holds good hrougb every Department of tbe Government service; bat what is tbe use to multiply llustratloDB? The faot Is patent, and tnat Lbe remedy has not been applied ere this Is a ihamafnl reflection upon our Ideas of Jus;lce. Either tbe service Is what we claim for t or It la a gigantic humbug. Can any Mem>er who ha< bad tbe band tonch of the peo>le truthfully assert that the rural service baa not given more widespread satisfaction imong tbe masses than any single law passed jy this body In recent years? Then let as lot temporize with this matter any longer. To raise the pay of rural carriers to $800, as proposed In my bill three years ago and as proposed In my present bill, would require an additional appropriation of $4,500,000. Tbe ipproprlatlon is warranted by tbe increased -nvnniieB to the Governmeui: it is warranted by Increased commercial Intercourse; it lb warranted because tbe service ranks with other indispensable public utilities. We can not afford, then, to cavil over so ?mall an appropriation or to lurtber delay tbe demands of Justloe, wblcb bave for so long fallen on leaf ears. Wbtle I have been against tbe parcel??post system suggested by tbe Department, 1 am not sure but that the suggestion Is a good one [f tbe welubt of paroels Is limited to 5 pounds Undoubtedly this would be a great accommoIbtlon. both to tbe merchant and to tbe rural resident; tbe service to be limited, of course, to the patrons of routes going out from a parLieu lar point. It would, In a measure, take the place of express companies which serve city residents. I believe, too, that tbe Increased revenue from tbia source would In a short time cover the Increased appropriation ecessary to raise tbe salaries of carriers to >900. It Is this that I want, and If we must bave It coupled with parcels post or any other system not burdensome to the carriers, let it come aloDg. Vs I said at the outset, I did not hope to bring any argument to bear on this subject. Arguments are plentiful, but why present arguments to prove an axiom. All admit tbe Justice of tbe proposed Increase. The tblrty-odd bills introduced In tbia body, coming from every aectlon of the country, attest tbe desire for immediate action, and tbe fact tbat none of these bills suggest an amount less than 8900 Is In itself significant. It seems to me tbat is a fair consensus of opinion as to what should be paid the car rlera and to.haggle u oy piecemeal is child's Let U8 K>"ant the $900, and let us jrant It to take effect atonce.

A SPRING BLIND. "To tell you the truth, old fellow, 1 never understood why with your capacity for domestic enjoyment you remained an bid bachelor, n&rly disappointment in love?" "I lowed to marry her or not at ell, and ?he"? Just at that moment the spring roller blind of a house that faced directly on the sidewalk flew up with a sudden "Br-r-r" and a anap. Both the men looked around, and both were just in time to oatoh sight of a remarkably pretty girl's faoe with a pout of vexation on It. The blind had evidently slipped out of her Angers and rolled itself up when it was not asked to. "Who is that girl?" Guthrie asked. "I'm afraid I don't know her, old fellow," said Bean. "She's a very pretty girl, I should aaj. We'll ask my wife when we get home. Now go on with your secret." "You haven't any idea who lives in that house, have you?" "No, I haven't. Oh, by the way, I think I do know 1 Unless I'm mistaken, that's old Calthorpe's place. He's a fellow commuter of mine, and that's about *)m fnll nxtant of our anaualntanoe. But he isn't the young lady of yonr secret, la she?" "That's Just it," tald Jeff, with a pn?sled expression. "She can't be, and yet that face for the moment looked"? "Like her? Was her name Calthorpe?" "No; her same waa Sargent" "How long ago waa It?" "Seven years." "Well, one of the few things I happen to know about old Calthorpe," said Beau, laughing, "la that be oomee from Rhode Island. So"? ' "Oh, no, nol" Guthrie interrupted "Miss Sargent is dead, old fellow." The two walked on In silenoe far some time. ' "It isn't a long story," Guthrie presently continued. "She taught school thert In that faraway little Tillage among the hills and the mines. I was interested ir her from the first and tried to.wln mj waf into some sort of acquaintance wltt her. But she seemed disinclined to any thing like society." "You didn't stay there more than a yeai altogether, did you?" Bean asked. "Much less than a year. I never ex changed mars than six words with her li all the time we were both in that village Don't laugh at me, Maurioe. You didn't suspect me of being eo romantic, did you! She died." -There?" "Yes, there. Somehow the sadness ol it struck deeply into me, and now?thli girl"? "Is this girl very much like Miss Bar gent?" "So much like that It wouldn't be re markable even if they were twin sisters.' "Which, of course, Is impossible," salt Bean. - \ "A twin sister of hers would be nearly SO by this time." "And the young woman at the blind 1 not more than 10,1 should judge. It ii ourious, though." Guthrie's visits to the home of his mar vlsd friend were all muoh alike in onever] pleasant feature?he always romped witJ two out of three children, while the young est?the baby?looked on and crowed am Jerked itself about enviously. "Now, what is It?" Mrs. Bean asked turning to her husband when Allle ant little Jeff had both been finally sllenoec under the bedclothes. "Oh, it isn't my affair," said tbehus band. "Wa?I?wanted to ask if you knew i Miss Calthorpe here, living In that nev fed brlok house at the end of the oom mon," said Guthrie. Mn. Bean shook her head. "No Mis Calthorpe lives there," she said. "Mr Calthorpe lives there." "Oh," said Bean, "wm that old wossai Calthorpe's sister?" "She isn't really old, deal. She' younger than Mr. Calthorpe. There's on daughter, I believe." ' But that night Mn. Bean Mid to be . i'Tjmto m* >lon? for two davs and I will know all about jrour wlndoi blind youDg lady. Then make Jeff Guth rie come here and stay overnight" The next visit of Jeff Guthrie was plan aed for a Saturday evening, with sxpres arrangements for a stay over Sunday. After church this subtle woman lnslste on lingering about the porch until a gra haired lady came out, and with her he daughter, the girl who had pouted at th window blind. "Mrs. Perry, let me introduce our pai tloular friend, Mr. Guthrie, and this 1 Miss Perry." Nothing ooul<l have been more properl . conventional than this introduction, an that was why Guthrie was so angry wit himself for turning red and beoomln confused. Mrs. Bean had, unknown t Guthrie, expready invited these two ladk to dinner beforehand. "Tell me, have you any relatlva?ha you, I should say?of the name of Bai gentf" The girl's fa* changed In a moment She was pale and bit her Up. "Ob, Mr. Guthrie," she said, "yo must ask mother that) I don't knot about it I wue only a little girl of 1 when poor Marigaret left us and marrle that"? She checked herself; then, after an en barrasslng pause, went on, lowering he voioe to a whisper and glancing round s her mother: "Did you know her?him?" "I once knew a Miss Sargent?vs* slightly." "Where?" "In Pennsylvania, at grlnkviHa." "Oh, yes I He treated her so badly, aft er all She had to go somewhere and be teacher. Mother would have forgiven ei erythlng, but Margaret was too proud t eeme back to us. She went and calle herself miss, I suppose. We only hear that she had died in Pennsylvania?notl Ing more. I was sent to school In Gffl many soon afterward." "I understand," said Guthrie, "yon mother has hacl a great deal of trouble." "That Is why she looks so old at 6( Tell me, pleasti, am I so muoh like poo ilater Margaret ?" "So much ttat I thought I was lookln at her for the raoraent when you appeare at the window." Jeff Quthrle ceased to be the old baol elor friend of the Bean family, and It wa all owing to the escape of that roller blln from a girl's fingers. The marriage c her youngest (laughter at least was nc against Mrs. Perry's wishes, neither wa it an unhappy one, and Mm.

I Disease the Product of Thought. ^ By Dr. Charles Gilbert Davis. ' Tf athonirht nan in an inatant of ji time dilate or contract the blood ves[ gels, causing a rush of blood to or from i any part: if it can increase or diminish the secretion of a gland; if it can has ten or retard the action of the heart; if it can turn the hair gray in a single night; if It can force tears from the ' eyes; if it can in an instant produce i great bodily weakness; if it can produce insomania; if, as has often occurf red, it can b'ing instantaneoQs deaththen is it not natural for us to conclude i without further argument, that it may , v&f bring about a more or less continuous derangement of the physical organ- jA ism, which we call disease? f On eyery hand we note instances > where the action of the mind both pro duces and perpetuates disease. Indeed, 1 I can truthfully say after an observation of many years in the practice i of medicine, that a majority of the T . 3 cases of illness which come under the daily observation of the physician are largely due to the condition of the mind. ? It is not unusual for some one re1 turning from the funeral of a loved r one to be taken ill and in a few days : & ' follow that one to the grave. What causes this death? Depressing thought. 1 Mother hears of some calamity bav- * '# ' incr befallen her child. She croes into a collapse, fever follows and she is near 1 the gates of death. Was it not a ^ thought that produced thitf illness? * A man is seated at a banquet table, * full of health and happinesu and blessed with a good appetite. A message is brought to him that * bis family has been drowned in a flood. _ He turns pale; his appetite deserts him - '* and bis strength is goue. tioou he is in a delirium and ill. All the fnnctious * of the body are deranged; a doctor is called and names bis disease. But is it m not<rue that this man's disease has _ deen produced by what he thought? , I have seen the most wonderful 9 effects follow a fit of anger. After an outburst of passion the function of every gland in the body is impaired. g Time and again I have observed acute illness in an infant where it was pery mitted to nurse immediately after the ? mother had been engaged in a quarrel,' h and on more than one ouch occasion I . have seen death follow in a few hours. a Such instances might be multiplied * ft indefinitely and every observant physician has & mental store of such cases. 4 ?New York World. t Charleston and Western Carolina By Schedule in effect Jan. 10,1907.
