Jimmy flidn't intend to give Peter a chance to-do any such thing. If Peter

Jimmy's reach and Jimmy knew it. If he -was to give Peter the fright that
he had made up his mind to give 'him he would first have to get him where
he couldn't run away. So Jimmy walked as softly as he knew how and he
approached- the old house in such a way as to keep out of sight of Peter'
should he happen to be lying so as to look out 'of the doorway!
At last he reached a position where with one Jump he could land right on
the doorstep. He waited a few minutes and cocked his head On one side to
listen. There wasn't a Bound to tell' him whether Peter Was there or not.
Then he lightly Jumped over to the doorstep and iooked in at the doorway.
There was no Peter Jo be seen. 1 ' J " " )

Now the doorstep was of sand as Johnny Chuck's doorsteps always are.
Almost at once Jimmy chuckled.; There were Peter's tracks and they pohited
straight toward the inside' of Johnny .Chuck's old house. . Jimmy looked care-
fully but not a single track pointing the other way oouid he find. Then1 he
chuckled again. . - .

all that happened and then decided to lie low and wait until he was "sure
that the way was clear and no one. would see him." j In this Jimmy "was

'. WASHINGTON.. May 2. No more Im-
portant vote has .been taken at this ses-
sion of congress than a aeemlngly com-
monplace one which occurred law this
afternoon on tha queatiOn of taking from
the-"-committee on civil service the Pen-rose-Grlffln
civil pension bill and r-
leriing it to the committee on poatoftice
nd noat roads. . .
Cyclone Davis u the only member of

fer of the bill from the committee on
which Representative Dies is a member
to the poftoffice committee v.
It la Kene rally regarded 1 as fhe opaH-
ing wedge in voting upon the country -a
civil pension system and what will prove
to-be the heaviest civil pension list in the
world if the action taken by the house
this - evening is to become the policy of
this and future congresses. The Penrose
bill has been hanging fire for the' past
four years smothered in the civil service
committee ot um nouse.
REFERRED TO '"
POSTOFFICE COMMITTEE.
It proposes the retirement at S5Q per
month of postal employes and according
to the statement today of Chairman Moon
of the oostoffice committee It will pension
at that rate some 300.000 or 400000 postal
employes. The reason for transferring
the bUl to the Moon committee is a aim
pie one. The civil servtoe committee it
opposed to the bill while a majority of
the postal committee will vote to report
the bill favorably. All of the Texans in
the house except Davis registered their
disapproval oi tne measure.'
' Bpeaking of the Penrose bill. Congress
man 'Dies called it a "sop" to job hold'
era. He declared that if this bill is
passed it is' the forerunner of a general
civil pension system in this country that
wiu place a Duraen- oi many millions an
nually upon the national treasury. He
declared -It foreshadowed the .penrlonin
of a million men in this country an
to meet the cost would necessitate addi
tional taxes upon-the people in order to
pension lavishly men wno baa held good
paying government joos lor a long perioa
of years. ' -.
He said his committee had kept down
the bill for lour years Deueuing it -would
pave the way for an era of civil pen
sions. - '
ECHOES FROM
TEXAS WERE HEARD.
The protest which the senate commit
tee on postofflce and post roads has en
tered against the" activity' of the poet
office department in seeking to1 urlng
pressure upon the senate to override the
action oi tne committee in limiting tne
extent ot rural routes ana retaining tne
weight system ot paying railroads for
carrying the mails has found Its echo
in Texas. - ''
Ml of the Texas congressmen and ooth
senators have received numerous ' letters
from postmasters and patrons of rural
routes declaring that they had been -ad
vised by Postmaster General Burleson's
assistants that all rural rowtes ordered
to be established next month will have to
be discontinued and ail old rural routes
reorganized unless the senate changes the
section of the postal appropriation' bill
which limits an ordinary route to 24 miles
and an automobile route to 60 miles.
Chairman Bankhead of the. senate com
it It tee insists the postal department has
misrepresented the terms of the pro-
posed law and has needlessly alarmed the
people of the country .-among them tl.j
patrons of rural routes In Texas. The
senate committee will feave the officials
of the postal department Derore it for ex
amination on this subject tomorrow. .

today tnat anotner course lor iieaitn of

Though giving assurances that they
consider "genuine correspondence" to be

ments proceed to deprive neutral govern

January 4 ' ;
MUST INSIST ' . .

But to that protest the memorandum
under acknowledgment makes no ref

Insist with emphasis that the British

ion of the government of tne unitea
States no legal distinction between the
seizure of mails at sea which announced
as abandoned and their selsure from
vessels voluntarily or involuntarily In

amounts to unwarranted limitation - of
the use of by neutrals of the .world's

The present practice la a violation not

RULING MADE IN . T '
OCTOBER 1862. J
'This exemption of mails was urged in
October -1862 ' in tha case of British
malls on board the Adele. On October
31 Secretary Seward announced that "pud
lie mails of any friendly or neutral power
duly certified or authenticated as such
shall not be searched Or epened but be
put as speedily as may ba convenient on
the way to their destination.'
"'The same rule was followed hv France.
as I am. advised in the Franco-Prussian
war by the United States In the Spanish
American war by Great Britain in the
south African war by Japan and sub'
stantiaily by Kussla in the Kusso-Japan
eae war. And even in the present war
as the memorandum of Great Britain and
France states their enemy Germany has
desisted from the practice of interfering
with neutral mails even on board bellig-
erent steamers. This Is Illustrated by thv
case of the French steamer Florida cau-
tured bv the auxiliary cruiser Prins F.ll.il

governments m .support of their ai'KU
ment regarding parcel malls. In this case
tne letter mans ot tne loriao were for'
warded to tnelr destination bv the com
mander at the first opportunity on arriv
ing in tha United States. It would seem
that the Interferences with mails of which
this government justly 1 complains are
wrong in principle ana practice.
MANY VALUABLE
