Sometimes a fellow gets into
trouble"
"HowP"
"Oh, lots Of ways. A couple of weeks
ago a man came around To the Office
and sent me with note to his wife up
on st. Ange avenue. He was pretty full
and he tore mp q sheet or two of paper
before he got it down right. Well, when
| got out there Irode q couple of squares
past the place and then had to hunt for
it, and the night was very dark, so that
was very slow about getting there
When I pulled the bell il was near ten
O'Clock, and the Lady herself came to the
door and let me into the hall. She told
me to wait while she read the note.
Just as she got through the door-bell
rang and the man who gave me the note
staggered in. HIS wife looked at him
and he looked at me, and 1 knew right
away he was in q box. 'What does this
paper mean?' said she. 'Now, wait
awhile, my DEAR said he. 'I'n tell
you.' 'Don't sit up for me-, said
the lady, looking at the message I
brought her; TN be detained by
business at the Office, until very late.
What does this mean To tell mep Then
opened the door and skipped out. I
guess that fellow changed bis mind and
wont home and forgot all about sending
the message ahead OF him.
"Lots Of fun for you7"
al did not see much of the fun. The
door banged shut. 1 guess the circus
all happened after I left. Some fellows
have pile of cheek, though. A young
blood over here in an office on Fifth
street sent me out with 8 note directed
to a young lady at No. - Olive street,
and, says he: 'How much is it, and
want an answerP I told him thirty
five cents, and he gave me the exact
amount and started off. 1 handed the
note in at the door, and soon after an
| old gentleman came to me. He looked
awful mad. 'Who gave you this?' said
he. said gentleman down town did.
1 saw he wanted to know so bad 1
thought I wouldn't tell him, though he
tried very hard to get me to say where
the man was, ana what he looked like.
AT last the old man said: you expect
an answer, don't you?' Yes said I /;
she said there was one.' well, you tell
him that he is q contemplate puppy,
and that my daughter does not want to
see him, and that II he sends any more
of his impudent notes here Ill break
his neck. Tell him that 1 know
him very well and that I'll
keep my eye on him. When 1 got
back TO the young fellow he asked /:
where's the auswer?' I've got it, 1
replied. The old man said you were
puppy 'Oh, the dickens!' he
shouted did you give 1t to the old man ?
Why didn't you ask for the young
lady herself?' 1 tried to explain to him
how the whole thing happened, but he
| was too excited to listen. He told ma
that was an idiot and an ass, and that
had no sense, and that had got him
into nice pickle, and he run me out of
the Office. Now, 1t wasn't my fault at
! al, was itfr'-St. L0s9s Post.

On several occasions during the past
year, officers of the army have, at the re-
quest of the State authorities, visited
their military encampments for the IN
spection of the troops. From the reports
OF these officers am induced to believe
that the encouragement OF the State mil
tia organization by the national govern
ment would be followed by very crafty
ing results and would afford it, in sud-
den emergencies, the aid of large body
OF volunteers educated in the performance
of military duties.
