POSTAGE RATES WERE ENORMOUS Receiver of Letter Paid the Postmas ter on Delivery of Letter ? Benefits of Cheap Postage. Now you young people, girls and boys, excuse me for telling you a story about the old limes. Sixty-four years age, when I was 12 years old, my father was the postmaster in our town and bad to make contracts for carrying the mail to other neighboring towns. He gave these contracts to needy men an 1 the pay was generally one dollar a day. One of these men got sick and my father made me take his place and ride the mail to Roswell all winter. It was 2u miles away and I had to ride there and hack in a day, and he paid me the dollar for every trip. It was a bitter winter and sometimes when 1 got home ' I had to be helped off the horse, for ' I was frozen up and helpless. But 1 j was a tough and hardy hoy and always I ready for the next trip. On my first ride the good old women on my route I did not know me. They used to knit , socks and send them to town by the , old man to sell and carry back some j c offee or sugar or indigo, or copperas, or some little thing, hut they didn't know me. and I remember that one old woman came out to the gato and said" "Are you the mail boy?" And I laughed and said: "Yes. mam, I am not a female hoy." She smiled and said: "You are mighty little to carry bundles, but I would like for you to take a couple of pairs of socks and bring me back the pay in ccffce if you will. I'll give you a little bag to put it in and you can hang it on to the horn of the saddle." Of course I did. for I always nked to oblige the women, and besides my father kept a store and got the trade. Sometimes 1 had as much outside of the mail bag as there was inside. 1 made fourteen silver dollars that winter and felt rich. But I want to tell you about the mail business as it was then. There were no stamps or stamped envelopes?nor any other kind of envelopes. Wo wrote on a long paper called foolscap. It got | that name from the watermark whicn | was a fool's cap and bells stamped on the paper. After writing we could fold the sheet up to the size of a letter and slip one fold in the other?thumb paper fashion?then seal it with a wafer and address it. The wafers were round and thin and were made of tlour paste and when held on the tongue a moment got soft and sticky. In my young days the postage, was paid at the end of the line by the one who received the letter. It was 12 1-2 cents if it did not come or go outside of the State?18 3-4 if from I or to an adjoining state and 25 cents I if still farther off. But if it was to go , to California it had to be prepaid and I sent by Wells and Fargo's express and i cost a dollar and was a month on the 11101 mill It UI 11. rsow it costs only 2 cents anil takes only four days. That overland express almost made us boys crazy. They published a hook called "Ten Years Among the Mail Ilags" and it had pictures in it?pictures of hoys riding the mail on Indian ponies?riding on a run of 10 miles in an hour, and then he was lifted off of | his pony and put on a fresh one for [ another 10 miles. The boys had lo weigh not less than sixty nor over J nlnenty pounds and had to make 40 miles a day?20 oast and 20 west. It j took about two hundred hoys and four j hundred ponies to do the work and 1 j wanted to he one of the hoys mighty I had. Part of the route was beset by hostile Indians and the express comj pany had to keep soldiers at these sta1 tions to guard the ponies, and the hoys I had to keep a sharp lookout between , the stations. One of the pictures show] ed some Indians shooting at a boy as he bent over on the pony's neck and was flying like the wind. He had left the track and taken roundance on the.u and I thought that was heroic. The letters were limited to a single j sheet of paper and a thousand to a hag 1 and that made about twenty pounds of mail. Ilesides the mail there were some two-pony hacks with two drivers and guns and these carried gold dust from the mines to the eastern state and were limited to two hundred pounds, which wds worth noarly $50.uiH) and was a tempting prize to both white and Indian robbers. Hut the gold express ran at irregular intervals and nobody knew when it was coming. Hut now about postage. Not many foolish letters were written in those days. It cost too much and made the man mad when he had to pay 25 cents or 18 3-4 or 121-2 cents for it. The next one the writer would send would not ho taken out and would go to wasnington ns a (load letter. I reckon you wonder why the postage was In such curious amounts. Well, we didn't have any decimal currency then?no dimes or half dimes. The dollar was divided Into sixteen parts instead of twenty: one part was called a thrip, which was fi 1-4 cents. Tlirlp is an abbreviation for sevenponce. Two parts was called a sevonpenco and its value was 12 1-2 cents. I don't believe I have seen a thrip or a sevonpenco in fifty years. The government called them all In and issued dimes and half dimes I instead. In ruminating about the wonderful change in our postal laws since I was a j boy I nm prepared to say thut nothlno j that has been discovered or invented , has wrought such beneficial results and so much comfort to the people. What plensure at home is more valued than reception of letters from kindred and ' friends who are far away? Postage is ( only one-tenth what it used to be. but ' there are twenty times as many letters written by every person who can write and there are ten times as many to ; write them. The great northern mail i used to come to our town once a week I and n single sack in the boot of a stage i contained it. Now five times that quantity comes twice a day. I used to write ' about two letters a week and now 1 write twenty-five or thirty and receive more than I wrlto. For I have quit answering many letters that inclose no stamp. The number of letters increas es faster than the postage decreases. ' TVhou the postago bad to be paid at tl: end of the line It was pretty hard to receive a disagreeable letter nnd have to pay for It. My father was a merchant for nearly fifty years and sold goods on a year's time, and sometimes we had to write dunning letters to his customers, lie wrote one to a very slow man and got no answer, so he wrote another and the slow man wrote back that he would have to wait until he* mn rip r. n nth or* ornn o nrl no nno#?(rn was high and silver was scarce, he advised a very limited correspondence. He wrote another to a belated customer at Warsaw and another and another *?nd then got a reply which said : "I have received your letters but thev were a long time on the way. If yot? had sent them round by Atlanta and Marietta and Roswell I would have gotten them sooner, for we have two mails a week by that route, but only one by the way you sent them. Hereafter you had better send them that way. Our mail system is very imperfect. It takes six weeks for me to get a letter from Jack, who is in the Arkansaw. You remember Jack. But I am i always glad to hear from you. Your ! friend. WILLIAM WATERS. "P. S.?As for that account of last ; year, which you say has run a long j time? as the boy said to the molasses, just let hr^ run. W. W." 1 wonder if our young people know i who was our first postmaster general? | He was the postmaster general before , the revolution and was turned out by King George because he was suspected j of being a rebel and his name was Ben- ! jamin Franklin. When the Declaration ! of Independence was j?assed 1ip cstab- i lished an independent line and boycot- 1 ted the English system and afterwards I organized a system of our own. Sir Rowland Hill was the postmaster general of England and in 17IU established what was called the penny post. Bo- : fore that tlie English merchants hired : men to carry their letters. When the j hat tie of the Waterloo was fought the Rothschilds hired private carriers to j bring them the news of the great bat- j tie. English credit and bonds and con- : sols were then away down to 2."> cents on the dollar, for Napoleon was just running rough shod over kingdoms and j governments. The Rothschilds got the ! news of his defeat twenty-four hours sooner than the bankers of London and > they secretly bought up all the bonds 1 and stocks and consols they could find, i and when the good news came of the great victory these bonds and stocks ! ! jumped up to par in a day and the i j Rothschilds made many millions and | | this was the beginning of their great j fortune. It was a mean, dirty trick, but they didn't care. For nearly a con- i tury they have controlled the financies of the civilized world and nations could not go t.< war without consulting | the Rothschilds. Rut now they have to , I take a bark s?at, for Pierpont Morgan I and Rockefeller and a few others can control more money than they can. But j our postage has not yet got to the low, est notch.

The strike of Newfoundland sealers 1 was declared to he ended. The painters in Manchester, N. II., demand a raise in wages from $1.73 a day to $2. The present wage scale in the Massillon (Ohio) district has been accepted by the miners. Two hundred bricklayers in Columbus, Ohio, have struck for fifty-live cents an hour. Four hundred .striking quarrymen at Quincy, Mass., have refused a ten per cent, increase compromise. Over r>00 union machinery moulders have struck in Cleveland. Ohio, for a minimum wage scale of a day. Itepprts from labor unions sbow that over 23,000 men were thrown r.m .>i* ? work by the recent Hoods in the \ irginins. At Decatur. 111., the painters have gained five cents per hour, bricklayers ten cents and nine hours, without a strike. A'l the textile corporations in Fall Itiver, Mass., have granted the ten per cent, advance iu wages to take effect immediately. Now that a wage scale has been adopted, there is no longer any danger j of a strike this year among the 50,000 I miners In the Pittsburg district. Organized workers in Illinois are en- 1 denvoring to have the machinery removed from the State Penitentiary iu | order to lessen the production of con- I vict-tmule goods. The cigai makers of Forto Rico have gained .$1 more per 1000 without strike. The bricklayers, carpenters and painters of the island have organized during the past month. The strike of painters at Pittsburg, Pa., was settled by a compromise agreement. The rate will he forty cents an hour or for an eighthour day. The lStx) strikers relurucd to work at once.

It takes ! a tyro that long to pull trigger once j when he is all ready. The experts do not pull trigger at all. Long ago it was demonstrated that it was vastly quicker to file off the pawl that locks a gun and trust to "fanning" the hummer than It was to shoot even the easiest of double-action revolvers in tho ordinary way. This explains bow it was possible for tlie famous mankillers to accomplish marvels against other and equally desperate men as well armed as themselves.?Munsey's Magazine.
