GT AMUSING PUNIsHMENT.--Years ago
Lewis Holt kept railroad refreshment
stand at the station at Attica. on the road
running west. He had way which men
of his persuasion have. not altogether aban
doned. of taking the money of passengers.
sweeping it into his drawer. and fumbling
after the change till the cars were off. when
the passenger would have to run and leave
his money. Charlie Dean stepped ont of
the cars one day. took "ginger pop"
price six cents. laid down q quarter.
which Holt dropped into his till. and
went hunting to get out the change. A
way went the ars. and Charlie jumped on
without the change; but he had time to
read the name of Lewis Holt over the door,
and. making a note Of it. rode on.
Postage was high in those days. and
was not required in advance. From Buff
falo he wrote letter to Holt-"Ssll foam
at twenty-five cents q glass will you?"
Holt paid ten cents on this letter. and ten
more on one from Detroit, and twenty five
on another from St. Louis. and for two
or three years he kept getting lettere from
his unknown customer. and would have
got more to this day. but for the law re-
quiring postage to be paid in advance
He had to pay two or three dollars in
postage before the letters ceased to come.
and as they were always directed in new
handwriting he hoped each one was OF
more importance than the ones before. II
he Of At,ica reads this in the Drawer he
will find for the first time why he was so
punished, and by whom.
