It has been suggested that thepicsidcnt has

"We can just as well have penny postage , "
said an old postollice department oHlcI.il to
day , "as not. 1 have seen some estimates
made of the mcie.ise ot the service since the
icductioit of letter postage to two cents , and
eompated to appioximutions of what the re
sult will be if an ounce of letter could be sent
fora penny , and I tell you we can just as well
atl'oid to ted nee the postage fiom two cents to
one cent as we could a couple of yeais ago
fiom tluee to two cents. I believe , however ,
that the reduction should at lir.st be made on
the lir > t halt' ounce , thai Is ehaige two
cents an ounce , as now , but let the
letter go tor u penny if it does not weigh
over hall an ounce. The dcflelcnuy would
not be ueai so gieat as it was when the oilier
icdui'tiou made. ' '
was 1'eoplo w'ould wiito
of tener , but on lighter paper. When the 10-
duction was made of two cents for an ounce ,
people isimply nscil heavier paper. J think ,
too , that a folding postal caul would take ,
too that is a piece of paper , stamped , twlco
tlie si/e ol a po-tal card that could bo wiltten

them that he will then waken hank state

soual letter late last month tiom Mr. , lolm
Jennings , who is connected with a London

juess with much ot Its Knglish news. The

lullv with tills question.

came through thu blinding storm to the

a snow plow three-quarters of a milo out

her father wore walking silong the
track when suddenly a largo snow
plow , coming silently but swiltl.y
through the heavy drill loomed up before
them. Sc.0 jumped from the track but
her father was advised of the danger too
late and was picked up 'by the rushing
plow. A plow with two engines came in

engineer or liromiin knew how it
came there. An eiigino was sent

no trace of a body could bo found. Later ,
