That Villa and victory are prstty nearly synonymous terms for the con htltutlonalists must he Impressed on the Imaginative minda of Carranza followers by what seems to have been the outcome of the fighting nt Zacatecas. There, for the first time In many moons, the constitutionalists seem to have Buffered a reverse, and while, at the moment of this writing, the dispatches hove not shown what the extent, of that defeat was, it seems to have been n complete check male. Of course the significant cir cumstance Is that this, with the sin gle exception oT the taking of Tam pico, Is the first, large engagement the constitutionalists have been led Into lately by any one other than Villa. In tho natural course of events, it was he who would have provided the generalship for this hat tV But eveuts were not permitted to take their natural course, Carran sa, for some reason that has not been explained, held Villa quiescent at Torreon, while Natora, who Is hostile to Villa, whs put at the head of an army assigned to the task of taking Zacatecas was not due to any lack of generalship, but we Imagine it will be ditflcult to convince the ordinary peon soldier, who has been accus tomed to victory under Villa, that that was not the case. BUT GIVE US THE MAIL. “1 am thoroughly convinced that for carrying the malls the railroads should be paid a rate that will give them the same returns per car mile, that they get on an average from passenger traffic," said former Sena tor Jonati.—i Bourne, Jr., chairman of the Joint congressional committee on railway mall pay, "1 aiu speaking for myself and in no manner for the joint committe.) on railway mall par. My conclusions have been reached after many months' study of the sub ject “The desiderata in mall transporta tion by railroads are frequently, reg ularity, speed and sutety. Mall is carried almost entirely on passenger trains, The volume of itsssengei traffic determines ami primarily oon tools the frequency, speed and regu larity, and to u great extent the safety, of railroad passenger trans portation. Hence, everything that la necessary for Increased volume of passenger traffic Is a relatively cor responding benefit to the mall in Its transportation over the railroads. "Tho i-ostofTice department has ad vanced the theory that the mail shall not boar Its relative proportion of expensive terminals, ticket agents, and many other things appertaining in the passenger service, hut I assert this contention Is not sound. The volume of passenger business de pends on all of these things and they are necessary to Increase of paasen ger business and. hence, necessary for mall transportation, and the gov ernment should pay Its relative pro portion of same. “With those premises and deduo Hons 1 again assert that my own eon vlction is that the government should at least pay a car-mile rate equlva lent to tho average passenger cor mile rate for the Inst five years, as earning the passenger car-mile rate to lie a Just rate, namely, a little over So cents per car-mile. If my premises hie sound, my deductions are certainly syllogistical. “The duty of our committee is to determine as far as It is possible to determine, what Is a just eompensa tion to he paid to the railroads for the carriage of mail. The apparent aim of the postoffice department has been to evolve a method by which the railroad mail pay could be reduo ed. Government is formed Tor the protection of Its citizens, and the preservation of their personal and property rights. It ought to set an example for all the people and should, therefore, itself do justice to each individual in society.” A REMARKABLE WILL. That is a remarkable will which the late James Campbell, of St. Louis, Is said to have made. According to Its terms, the Income of the whole estate, worth from 135,000,000 to S4O - Is to go to his widow and daughter, or to either that survive the other. For any children born to the daughter, as yet unmarried, sl, 000,000 is set aside, and then twenty one years after her death, assuming she survive her mother, all but the 11,000,000 set aside for possible grandchildren. Is to go to the St. Louis University for the support of a hospital and medical school for both teaching and research work. So at some indefinite time In the future, but. not until twenty one years In any case, the St. Louis University will be probably the most richly endowed institution of that kind in the world. Without having Information at hand which would Justify a positive state ment, we neverthelehs venture to say that this Is probably the largest leg acy ever left to a public Institution In this country, although It Is one whose benefits will not accrue to many of us now alive. Wants Hoke Smith Sent Back Again to Senate Atlanta. —Tho Homo Tribune-Her ald, which has fought Hoke Smith in the past, has declared Itself in favor of sending him hark to Washington as United States senator, unopposed. “During the three years ho lias been In tho senate,” says the editor, "he h s made a national reputation, and at tho present lime Is one of the leaders of that august body. He Is In dose touch with the administration, being one of Its main rellanees In the senate when matters of Importance come up before that body. "We do not believe he will have op position. It looks as If It would he un wise to stir up old animosities, and de cidedly unwise to eliminate from the senate a man who has shown himself callable of coping successfully with the shiest leaders of the opposition." No String Attached to Resignation, Says Harris Atlanta- —Hon. W. J. Harris, who resigned am United States Census l)l --rector. to run for Governor of tieor gla In the present campaign, has au thorized u statement In response to the charge made by some of his opponents that there was a "string" tied to his resignation from the census bureau. "There Is no string," says Senator Harris. He states further that his res ignation is already In the hands of tho Secretary of Commerce, who can ac cept at his pleasure. The supplementary statement, au thorised by Mr. Harris' friends, says in part, "If the record made by Mr Harris as director us the census is such tlial the administration Is loath to lose his services, and on this ac count defers acceptance of his resigna tion, tho fuel is one of which every (leorglsn should be proud. It hut proves his high efficiency as an exe cutive. "One Incident of his record should give pleasure not only to every Geor gian. hut to every Southerner, and that la the fai t that he caused the age limit to be raised so that ex-Confederale aol diers could he employed In collecting cotton statistics and other census figures."

Old Mr Rat lived in a barn, but he was very fond of good things to eat, so he often wandered into the farmhouse at night just to get a dainty morsel. One night he discovered a whole i hecHP, and It was a very big cheese, so Mr. Rut felt that he would not need anything else all winter in the way of dainties. But Mr. Rat wgs vain, and when he got to thinking about the whole cheese and how smart he w :l s to find it, he began to brag about it to his neighbor who lived In the lower part of the barn. “I don't see how you live without any dainties, Just this meal and the coarse vegetable you can find out here. But then, of course. It takes a pretty Intelligent, as well »s brave fellow to find the things I find, Why, only a lew days ago, l found a whole cheese; think of that, a whole cheese!” And the neighbor Rat did think of it; he thought out loud to all the rats urouml, and they decided to Mr. AFTER THE WEDDING AN ILLUSTRATED STORY OF THE WAY A HOME WAS MADE. jLufc\ “f'., iQ»rs/HKn^KKßKK[r^£nS*Gto3fwi!Suit\ TJtjL^k/^*Jf-v ■ „ ' '*" J. i; / _*/rffifr* **> - * * * Tom lost hi* temper for the first time.

Jen nie thought she was fooling -for Jen nie did not know and could not un derstand that the real happiness tn life Is In the things that do not allow on the surface. A couple truly In love are much happier than many Inmates of the brownstone fronts up on the avenue.

In fact, he saw it all disappearing be fore his very eyes, and he knew his even started supper or lit the light. Tom appeared not to notice, but said, ”l.ook, girlie, here’s something 1 brought you and thought you might like." It was a box of candy. When Jen nie saw It she said to Tom. "Why did you buy It?

But he was bound to have revenge, and he waited his time. “The next time you find a good cheese or any dainty don’t keep it all to y-ourself," they told Mr. Rat, as they went away. "I won t, I promise you,” said Mr. Rat, “for l see how selfish I have been." Mr. Rat waited a while, for he knew the farmer’s wife would be on the lookout for.the rats that had eaten her cheese, but after a while he ventured in and looked about. lie found a barrel of nuts and had a good feast; then he went on the shelf /ind under a cover he found a piece of cheese; this he ate. Then he looked on the floor behind the barrel 9f flour and hack of the other barrels and there he saw Just what he was looking for three big traps with big pieces of cheese in each. "They will put in fresh pieces tomorrow after they find I have been here and did not try for the cheese,” thought Mr. Rat, and away he went to tell his neighbors. “You will have to be very brave," he “Let those laugh who win.” told them; “the cheese is in boxes and you will have to go in one at a time so as not ,to make a noice as the dog and cat are in the kitchen.” Away they all scampered after Mr. Rat into the pantry, but they did not notice that Mr. Rat sat on the sill of the window and watched them run into the traps. When they were all in and the cheese eaten they tried to get out, and then was Mr. Rat’s time to get re venge. “You are caught in a trap, every one of you,” he called from his safe place, “you Played a trick on me and fol lowed me and ate all my big cheese and laughed at me.

WIFE STICKS TO HIM. Atl a nta. “Dad” Mangum, “high sheriff” of Fulton, is speculating today on the peculiarities of woman-kind, and particularly on the beautiful, al most dog-like devotion with which sweet young girl brides stick to worth less convict husbands. In the case of a young married man-* arrest and conviction, says the sheriff, it is the rare exception for the wife to desert him. Usually they protest their husbands’ innocence In the face of all evidence, and beg to be locked up along with them. The particular case Sheriff Mangum had in mind was that of the pretty young wife of Edward Rhynata, who has just been convicted for attempting to rob a negro bank and sentenced to three years. But there are scores of other similar cases. THE GASOLINE WAR. Atlanta. State Commissioner of Agriculture Price, has taken a hand in the gasoline war which has just start ed in Atlanta. Yesterday the dealers began to cut each others' throats, fig uratively, by dropping down from 16 cents to 13 and In some cases down to 10 cents a gallon. But when they put up the ten cent signs they took down the signs stating the specific gravity of the gasoline. The state department has a rule that these signs must al ways be displayed, and the commission er has summoned sixty dealers before him for violating the rule. HE FOUND HIM.
