If the senate adopts the house amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill, there will be no sucn thing after June 30, this year, as the government sale of stamped envelopes with return addresses printed on them. Many printing housts throughout the country have taken the view that the government has no business entering into competition with them in the printing of return addresses on envelopes and their activity against the practice has resulted in the house amendment, which is as follows: 'That no part of the foregoing sum [appropriation for stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers] shall be used to print or nave printed, or sell or offer to sell, any stamped envelope bearing upon it a printed direction > orivinor nnmn omr vidual, firm, or company, or any number of any postoffice box or drawer, or any street number or the name of any building to , > which it shall be returned if uncalled for or undelivered." m ? The Man Who Runs and Tells. If you have a brick handy, prpspnf- it without ceremony to the man who is always telling you what other people say about you, says London Answers.. You , will injure him with the brick, and you will doubtless be locked j up for the assault; but you will &ain in the end. I am a man who adores peace with the heartiest adoration?I revel in it?but when I meet the | man who tells me in confidence of the ruffianly things that some i one has said of me I feel like I indulging in war. I feel like letting him have one of the best under the chin. Know, my dear reader, that everybody talks about you when your are not nresent in nnitn n different way from what they would talk were you face to face with them. It is human nature. We are all critics of one another. Even your dearest friend knows that you have little faults. And when the occasion comes he speaks to others of these little faults. He does this even though lie i<t your best and most reliable friend. And you do the same by him. We all speak of one another's faults.* We . 't help it. We w ere horn t it. way. We don't really mean ..nything by it. Hut we do it. And there's an end of it. It is alleged, to be sure, that there are some perfect p i s<-: s who ne\er say behind a ma; \s hack what they wouldn't s.iy before his face. I say alleged, because 1 must confess that in a somewhat wide experience of ' life, I have never had the for-v tune to meet these persons. And I am driven to the conclusion that if they exist at all thev are as rare among us as white blackbirds. My experience in life has shown me that human beings find it the finest and most stimulating fun going to laugh at the failings and oddities of others behind their backs. In fact, I woulu go so far as to assert that this trait in our common humanity is the root and foundation of our social life. In the good old prehistoric days men laid down their flint clubs and indulged in humorous comment concerning the way some acquaintance escaped from, or was gulped up by, the sporty animals with the long names. Ann they lound this comment i upon the fortunes or misfortunes of others so delightful that they made a habit of it, and thereby laid the foundation of social intercourse as we know it now. # mmmmmmmwmmmmmmmm?mmm Beach-Ihrie's We have the most up-to-date lines of Jewelry, Silverware, Cut Glass, China, Clocks, and many other useful and ornamental goods to be found in this I section of the country.
