letter rates were reduced t three cents but when the parcel post had not been thought of is it charity the jicct office is the gool samaritan omnipresent in all the highways of the- land and like the good samaritan it meets try deficits at the inn is it education the pest office is schoolmaster with school for all and scholars by the million we may now say by the ten millions for all the literate as readers of the vritten and the printed word are its scholars and by reason of the rural free delivery lo one however isolate or remote is beyond the reach of its free tuition but there is a

the daily fabric o 3ur home life from our dear outsu e relationships one writing a long time ago called friendship the great chain of human society and intercourse of letters one of the ehiefest links of the chain and though the air has given a new med ium for speech at a distance it does jot take the place of the word which car be read and reriad and perman ently kept it is a significant thing

the stieets with their burdens i recalled a statement that was made at a service in memory of their com rades a year or two ago to the effect that the living postmen were placed on earth to carry burdens but they are not ordinary burdens they are the most precious commerce of hunan exchange whether written by hand or printed the distinction of this service would end the moment that its mem bers ceased to regard fs inviolate the communications which they bear be tween human minds in sharing ex periences of joy and sorrow in ex pressing aftection and sympathy in recording the things that still help to keep this practical world a place of domance if as gilbert chestertoi said the posting of letters is jne of the few things left that are entirely romantic another of these ntirely romantic things is the receiving of letters we thank god for the united states that mystically receives them fvthfully guards thitn and religiously delivers them john h finlcy the cricket to october

capi tals of europe modern traffic is very much in evidence motorcars of all makes hoot their way through crowds of leisurely pedestrians electric trams turning sharp corners with grinding sound of wheels urge state ly coaches to give them free pas sage by means of a nemphatic bell the coaches oblige ird with more ex pedition than do the pirate tramears already described these coaches are a link with the past they rumble rather heavily over the stono pave ment drawn by horses decked out in a brave lisplay of plated harness the coachman is generally a typical portuguese servant with long side- whiskers and he urges his steeds to high stepping rather than to speed the horses are of the breed that figures in paintings of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries having small heads and round rumps wavy flowing tails arched crests and waving manes and so much action that pace has to suffer but dignity is maintained yet more primitive vehicles roll through the streets of lisbon plain boxlike carts on solid wooden wheels of a design unchanged since roman times these carts have a talent far more pronounced than that of the pirate tram for getting in the way and impeding traffic the drivers are as impervious to objurgation as the oxen that draw these obstructive con veyances these varied forms of vehicles make up the daily pageant of the streets captain b granville baker in a
