POaT
There was an excitement created on Saturday
morning in the yestibuie OF the post Once, which
bas been the "town talk" ever since.
II seems the mails Were not open on Satur-
aay quite as early as usual, and at zine O'Clock
large crowd OF people had collected, OF All
ages, sexes, sizes and conditions At I've min.
ntes past nine the eager crowd began to grow
impatient, and pressed energetically up TO-
SaIus tne oehvery windows, each one irwin:
70 OBTAIN position in advance Of the other.
"DOat crowd" says one; sStaud back" says
another; while third, with elongated features,
cries ont, sect of my cornsr' Which remark
'No place for coined beef here" The owner OF
the mutilafed corEs aptly retortsd, ssNor corned
pork either" This clever response caused a
sWlnish sound to e1nanats from the wouid-be
WITTY corn destroyer, and hearty laugh from
the bys;anders.
"Open that ar Office" cries big clustering
bully IN check shirt. 'sShet yer ly-trap," re-
plies white-coated philosopher from the OPP
Misther Barney FIannegin.' yells Hibernian,
p:otruding his uncombed head through the
door from the rear. Nothing for Mr.. Elan

Barney's tone and manner. sThatS my pocket

stranger, in the same polite manner, +" beg

ing the distinguished stranger over to one Of
the guard, who gently assisted the owner Of
out into the fresh air, and generously provided
quarters for the stranger at the city's expense.
Nine o'clock and fifteen minutes-mails not
distributed yet. Crowd more inpatient when
suddenly the windows are thrown open, and
on rushed the multitude to get their portion Of
the N all matter. just at this moment the start
ling shout Of s'inad dog!' "mad dog" was
heard at the entrance, and at the same time a
various Xxi yi's" for which canine lungs are
so admirably adapted. Now terrific scene
ensued. Some ran one way, some another; but
all seemed to b. anxious to get outside. as the
wild animal sec med to be In their very midst,
and making his way to the front OF the excited
tn ong. "Let me out ~ sMurder!' ' Here he
comes - Shoot him. "Kill him ~ xxi vi

minutes the room was vacated by the fright

dividuai, little man, with keen black eyes,
who boldly advanced to the open window OF
the general delivery department and cried out
in a loud voice, "Are there any letters for
sWYMAN, the ventriloquist y"
A hearty laugh greeted the question from
few of the outsiders and the clerks who had
witnessed the peli-mell flight Of the terror
stricken crowd; but we'll venture to assert that
the weird joker got mere curses than letters,
on this occasion, Tor the preparation OF this
cruel hoax
