A lovers private gymnastics How
beautiful is the exhibition of bumani-
ty in the young. A little boy found
poor half frozen wasp in the garnet
and placed it upon a chair before the
parlor fire to thaw out. Surely the
angels must have looked down ap-
provingly on such an act of kindness.
When sister Mary's beau called that
evening he glanced at the chair, and
seating himself in it murmured; "Ah,
bless her heart, how thoughtful she
is of my comfort !" Two minutes Ia
ter there was as much noise and rack
ct in that parlor as if it had been
turned into den Of demons. The
wasp had thawed out; that is why
Mary isn't married yet.

Crawford Gets in His Work.
TBloomington Bulletin


For the past six months letters have been
missing from the mails at Laredo, Texas. The
postoffice officials have been using every effort
to catch the robbers, but the thieving went on
until about eight hundred letters had been
stolen, andthen the department at Washing
ton concluded to send special officer there to
ferret out the robbers. Mr.. w. P. Crawford,
of this city, who received an appointment from
the government few weeks ago, much to the
disgust of one or two of Bloomingtons newspa-
per men, CHANGED to be the man upon whom
the Washington officials settled as the proper
person to do this bit of work, and he was Or
dered to Laredo to "work the job" On
lsst Tuesday evening Mr.. Crawford, who left
Bloomington about two weeks ago arrested
Dionycio Garcia, mail carrier at Laredo, and
Fernando Garcia, young man connected with
the Laredo Times office, as being the guilty
parties. Both of the men belong to highly re-
spected families at Laredo, and have borne
excellent regulations heretofore, but there
seems to be but little doubt that they are the
ones who have doing the mischief, and Mr..
Crawford will no doubt receive the common
dation of the Washington people for having
accomplished very quickly good piece of
work.
