Johnny Know.
The class was reciting and little
Johnny Fellows was the last one
on the line. The teacher started
with the head and asked what was
the feminine of "hero."
Number one shook her head.
It passed to two. She missed it;
so did three. As it came nearer
and nearer to Johnny he became
ve;y much oxcited, apparently
kuowing the answer and wiving
his hand frnntir?llv
? - J
"Well, Johuny," said the
tencher at last, 4'everybodw bus
missed. Can you tell me the
feminine of hero?"
> "Sbero!" shouted Johnny, exultantly.
Took Up the Slack.
Stonewall Jackson had small
mercy on soldiers whom he caught
straggling, but is said to have
laughingly condoned one instance.
During a forced march in tbo
summer of 1862 ho stopped to
consult with one of his general
officers. The oatiro command
had been passed and as Jackson
and his officers rode forward to
rejoin the former discovered a
private up a persimmon tree.
Asked by the commander why ho
was so far in tho roar, the private
replied:
"Eatio' 'simmons,"
"Persimmons!" roared JackBon.
"Why, they're not even
ripe yet."
"Like 'em green just now,"
explained the soldier.
"And why?" asked JacksoD,
softening a little with amusement
at the fellow's laconic answer.
"To draw my innards up to tit
my rations," was the answer.?

Johnston.
Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 1.? si
Mrs. Kate Hussett, leading lady
in Keith's Eighth street theatre u
stock company, was shot and fi
killed tonight by Barry John* ii
ston. a well kn >wn* actor, who ji
was formerly a member of the a
Richard Manstiold compahy and |j
who is well known to theatrical a
people throughout the country. . o
After the murder Johnston at- o
tempted suicide. The tragedy V
occurred at Darien and Wood si
streets in Philadelphia's Tender- fi
loiu. Johnston fired at his vie- ti
tim five times, two of the bullets ei
taking effect, one in the left breast tl
and the other in the left arm. w
Johnston shot himself through
the breast and is not expected to ri
live. The cause of the tragedy b
is believed to be jealousy. a

Rural Free Delivery.
T
Says the President in his inoi- Rc
age: Rural free delivery serice
is no longer in the experi- eh
lental stage; it has become a Co
xed policy. The rosults folUw- in
ig its introduction have fully wl
jstified the congress in the large hif
ppropriations made for its estab- Fr
ishment and extension. The ba
verage yearly increase in post* tal
(Bee receipts in the rural districts Ca
f the country is about 2 per cent. J.
Ve are now able, by actual re- eui
nits, toshiw that where rural sic
ree delivery service has been es- wa
iblished to such an extent as to tul
nable us to make comparisons bo;
lie yearly increase has been up- ly
rard o* 10 per cent. wh
On November 1, 1902, 11,650 Hi
ural free delivery routes had joc
een established and were in oper- in?
tion, covering about one-third of bol
le territory of the United States the
vailable for rural free delivory po<
Brvice. There are now awaiting wh
le action of the department peti- the
ons and applications for the es- all
iblishmsnt ot 10,748 additional str
nutes. This shows conclusively sid
le want which the establishment
f the service has met and the
eed of further extending it as
ipidly as possible. It is justi- ^eB
ed both by the financial results l^a
tid by the practical benefits to
nr rural population; it brings ftDl
le men who live on the soil into
lose relations with the active j^i
usiness world; it keep9 the far?er
in daily touch with the marets;
it is a potential educational
)rce; it enhances the value j>f for
irm property, makes farm life T;c
ir pleasanter and less isolated, xh
nd will do much to check the un- on
esirable current from country to we
*y- vie
It is to be hoped that the con- ca8
ress will make liberal appropria* ejg
ons for the continuance of the fOI
?rvice already established and or{
ar its further extension. tnl
