A rustic Folly. !
Of all the follies ever tnveuifd, the '
imsrtoflice 'department Is the orijdna- j
tor f one that heads the-list. When
the t''mnsler New York writes a
fltlzen of Poitlund that a letter to
liTs address is held In the New York
office with "2 cents ! postage due,"
the .final limit of nbsurdltr is
reached. The Arkansas farmer who.
Journeyed to mill witU orn in one
end of the sack and a stone In the
other to make it balance on hi
horHe's back wa scarcely more fan
tastic. Had he thrown away the atone
and divided the corn ,ln the two
ids of the sack the same purpose
would have been served and the
carrying or the sione avoided. The
transiuiHSion of' ihe postal card
roujili tbe'niil." notifying the
I'ortlander that there Is a letter for
him in Ihe New York office, is more
trouble than the transmission of the
original letter ulth instructions for
the Portland iiostruuster to collect the
postage due. Tl'" p!" now. In vogue'
la exactly the one the Arkauasas farm
er would have invented. It Is of a
kind with bis corn in one end of the
Back and ft atone lu the other. If the
pottto'Hce. department never (hangva
til e plan the world will always know
it should, and In addition will always
wonder a to what has become of the
foolMllt-r, Oregon Journal.
