Rural Free Delivery Notes Because they objected to a negro car rier and took down their muil boxes residents along rural delivery route No. 2. out of Cerulean. Ky., have been deprived of the sen-Ice, says a Louis ville dispatch to tiie New York Trib une. As a result farmers for miles are calling at Cerulean for mall, and W. L. George, the uegro carrier, is out of a Job. Protests were sent to Wash ington when George was first appoint ed last April. No heed was paid to them. White patrons along the route then took down their boxes. As the role forbid delivery except where boxes are up, the negro carrier soon had a sinecure. The mail fell off so that Washington has discontinued the route because of "lack of patronage." Mrs. Hazclbaker, mail carrier on route No. 3 in Linn county, Kan., was kindly remembered New Year's day by the patrons of that line, says the I'leasanton (Kan.) Herald. She serve fifteen farmers with mall, and each one presented her with a bushel of corn with which to feed her horses. The gift was very acceptable and worthily bestowed. Mrs. Hazelbaker, who Is one of the most energetic, hardwork ing aud Industrious women In Linn county and the only lady mall carrier In eastern Kansas, appreciates, the kindness of her patrons, aud as In the past, wet or dry, hot or cold, sunshine or storm, she will continue to serve them. She never misses a day and comes In promptly on time. All honor and credit to Mrs. Ilazelbaker. Postofflce Inspectors Schaffer and Young, after making a tour of Niagara county, called on Postmaster Hatch of Lockport, N. Y., the other day and Informed hira that the department would no longer endure the soap boxes, nail kegs, cigar boxes, old teakettles, etc., being used by farmers as rural delivery boxes, says the New York Tribune. They declared that In two different soap boxes used as recepta cles for mall hens had made tbelr nests and were laying eggs, Postmas ter Hatch was directed to notify these fanners that no mail would be deliv ered to them until regulation boxea were securH Advertisers get results in the Courier.

Women Who Wear "WelL It Is astonishing how great a change a few years of married life often sake In the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which Is rudely handled. The matron Is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change. Ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often come with mar riage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of its freshness and - the form of Its fairness.
