'Pin. are heroes ill plenty in tho postal service, and tho greatest of them is tho rural carrier. Tho railway mail clerk risks his life every day In tho discharge of his duty, and too much cannot bo said in honor of his dovotion. Dut for every day, week in and week out, homely and unromautio work for the beuellt of tho public, the man who carries tho mall over tho rural route comes first. For tho meager allowance of K500 a year tho country mail man gives his own services, provides a horse, or horses, and a mail cart, and then, for good measure, gives to tho public and to tho servico his comfort, often tits onlth and-somotlmos his life. Every day, In good weather or lu bod, over smooth roads or over rough roads, braving now boat and now cold, through rain and through blizzard, tho messenger of civilization makes his rounds. Ho puts tho rural dwellers upon an ton equality with tho city resident. Today the farmer is In touch with his markets and with the news of the greater outside world. Dally his paper comes to Ills door. Ills comiort as a man and his usefulness as a citizen are broadened. And it is tho rural carrier who has done it. More than ouco this agent of ad vance, with unconipluining, prosaic round of duty, has united the man of man of tho farm with the mun of the shop or desk. Ho not only brings the daily letters and papers to tho farmer's door, but he is the general carrier for the farm er's wife. Ho does not havo to do this, but ho doos it out of the goodness of his heart. Ho is a solf-coustitutod shopper and tho most obliging man in his particu lar territory. The women along his route look to him for the littlo odds and ends of housekeeping supplies which they aro out of no day and iieed tho next. Ho will cony verbal messages from one woman who wants another to spend tho day with her, and ho has been known to take a little tot from Its homo ami convey it safely to a rela tive's and bring it home tho next day, All in all ho is a good fellow and earns a good deal more of Uncle Sam's money than he gets. Ho has become anabsoluto necessity to the rural homes that are visited by him, and people wonder how they over got along without him. Tho rural carrier has como to stay. Tho people want him nnd they must havo him, and it rests with the govern ment to make his path an easier one. Such a laborer Is surely worthy of his hire. Money alono cannot buy tho energy and tho faithfulness which aro the everyday attributes of tho rural car rier, but money can more nearly repay mm tor worn iiouesiiy uone man doos tho beggnrly sum ho now receives. While congrosti is votlug millions for departments nnd projects for political reasons, it would do no harm to glvo a moment of tho time and a fraction of that money to men who aro worthy of attention and recognition. Comfort and progress even over a small area would be cheap at much morb than KXK) a year. Glvo tho rural carrier nuro money. Ho earus it. BLADEN. Mrs. U. H.
