fourth class p ostmasters on a salary
basis, ranging from a minimum of

"A white family can no more live

The Jap is not an inferior being: get
that out of your head. He is far
more intelligent than the average
white man. m many ways, and he
has the happy faculty of making
money where his white neighbor
cannot. From a selfish standpoint,
perhaps, that is one reason why his

The nature faker was hunting for
material for his new book on
"Snakes I Have seen.” The farm- j

these parts; he measured ten feet
from^tip to tip and rut upa mighty
battle for his life. 1 had only a hoe
handle, and by the time I had finish- j

portable mill, where they made rail
road ties out of it. shortly after the
ties were laid, a spell of wet weath
er softened the embankment.ana a
couple of cars of flax-seed were
scattered over the poisoned ties.
The mud mixed with the flax-seed '
and made a flax seed poultice that
drew the poison out of the ties:!

Not fit for Ladies
Public sentiment should be
against it. and we believe it is,
there can be no reason why ladies
should have to suffer with head
aches and neuralgia, especially I
when Hunt's Lighting Oil gives j
such prompt relief. It is simply a‘
question of getting the ladies to try
it. All druggists sell Hunt's Light
ing oil in 25 and 50c bottles. ~
