SIZE WANTED TO BE SURE.
t,..I Wild Flower Of the Wilderness
BALD 10 I. PostOnice CLERK.


At noon Yesterday a girl about nine
tet II years old and wearing a s0meWh ct
faded costume came up to the delivery
window OF the pOstofiice, threw down q
ietter and said to the clerk:
"Is that air stamp all squee.gee?'
"Nes, 1t seems to be all right"
"An' is the address writ sos thar kin
be no show Of it gittin' of7n the trail
an monkeyin' all round the country
afore it gifts to whsr' it's addressed?'
ooh, ] guess so. The mail boys can
manage To-
Il don't want no guess work about it.,
for that's matter O. life an death. II
the letter III go straight say so, an II 1t
wont jest unlImber yer tongue an give
me squar music"
"ril guarantee that 1t will find the
person TO whom it is addressed" said
The clerk, who had deciphered the
bieroglyphies on the envelope.
"Then that's all right, but II 1t don't
git thar on time I'll have you took up
fur murder. That letters fur my felier
back in Illinoy, an he writ that if
wouldn't marry him right of he'd Kill

come on an double up jest as soon as
he wants ter. II that letter don't git

does. My names Ann Snodgrass, an

III tell you that we're not to he fooled

And she shook a warning finger at
the clerk and walked out.

GOV. CKIrrENDEN'S KISS.

What can one do" asked PATTI,
when she bad finished telling how
Gov. CRITTENDEN, Of Missouri, not
only, kissed her but Rugged her on last
Thursday evening. "When an old
gentleman, and a nice old gentleman,
too, and Governor Of q great State,
kisses one so quickly that one has not
time to see, and no time at alto object,
what can one do?' Well, there are
several courses open in such Q cIse.
Courts will give damages for such coa-
duct, and the amOrOuS old Governor can
be sued. This method Of obtaining
satisfaction might fail in this instance,
however, there being absolutely no
guaranty that the Missouri pOtentate
would not grant himself . pardon If
convicted. AS an alternative method
of obtaining satisfaction, Mr.. NICo
LINZ can mash the Governors nose, on
the strength Of his breyet relationship
to the offended lady-fOr, Of course, she
is offended. Yet another suggestion
occurs to US. PATTI can nominate
NICOLINI as her nearest friend, Gov.
CRITTESDEN can put FRANK JAMES
forward as his, and the two can fight
out the matter in the good, Old-fashion-
cd way. AS rule We do not look with
favor on prize-fighting, but if this ans
wer TO PATHS "What can one dO%'
cOmmends itself to those concerned we
will hire hall and furnish i. .-r the
contestants free Of charge.
The governor appears, from Mime.
PATHS story, to be an adept in the art
Of kissing. "Au Of sudden" says the
lady, "he leaned down, pat his arms
sround me, drew ne mp 20 him, and
kissed me. He said: Mime. PATTI,
may never SEE you again, and l cannot
helpit.' ARD ore Knew 1t lie Was
kissing me-" Mark the words, wa
kissing me-" not chad kissed me-"
Hungry, indeed, for kisses must the
old gentleman have been. He was no;
satisfied with enc; he wanted May.
The lines
"OEe hind kiss Def re we part,
DropA tear, and bid GGIeu"-
can have no meaning for the old gen.
tlsman. No doubt, however, the last
half of the stanza is applicable to his
fervid cOrdition, for it says
Though We sever, my fond heart
TIL we meet shall pant for you"
However all this may be, though, one
thing isguite sure. Mr.. NICOLNI will
either have 10 take some notice Of what
has transpired or surrender his breyet
rank m the PATTI household.

LONGEVITY.

All Of us hope to be onglived, but so
few use the means to attain to green
old age. The Bible promises to those
who honor their parents length Of days,
SIS if this we've special blessing, though
We know that many dutiful son and
daughter Is cut OFF prematurely. This
is a mystery that will not be made
clear till the Great Scroll is unfolded,
but xe know that Infinite Wisdom can
not err.
1t has hceA wisely said that he VIII
wishes to enjoy happy and lengthy
term Of existence, must preserve al
eQuable temperament, as sll excuses
are prey upon iife's strength and vigoy
and violent mental emotions are s
eanker forever eating away the strong
holds Of vitality.
All Cxtrt mes should be- shuuned, and
everything that uGduly exerts or take,
he emOt onSl nature. Nothing has u
greater tendency to shorten life than
anxiety and care, whose depressing in
fluenees will eventually destroy the
strongest physical powers. Fright, fesI
and excess of joy are also deadly foes 10
health. and are often fatal in their con
sequences.
We frequently see individuals who
betIay no surprise, no delight, TO dis
tress under any piece Of intelligence,
al we wonder how such composure
OF 6quanimity is attained or maintain
81, and We half envy tina. that stolid
mechanism which is such an aid un-
der the many shocks that are incident
