| The day and evening We're delightful, and
when the $40 train from Columbus came in
on the Little Miami railroad, large con-
course of citizens were In waiting TO receive
Ohio's gallant governor and his wife. The
reception committee took them in charge,
carriage in waiting, to convey them to the

band struck up Hail to the

Popularity OF Post Office Robberies.
g Postofice robberies are generally
great deal like slight-of-hand tricks"
said an official of the New York post
office to reporter the other day.
They seem mysterious and incompre-
hensible until the manner in which
they are done is brought to light, and
then they seem simple enough, and we
are ashamed that we were not able
sooner to get at the bottom of SO plain
a case. But the simplicity of the
methods used is the reason that makes
| it so hard to discover the robber. It
is often the case of postoffice robberies,
as in many others that opportunity
makes the thief. A clerk or messen-
ger may handle certain pouch for a
number of years and at last, perhaps
by accident, notice how valuable
package may be taken and no trace left
behind. If he happens to be little
weak-minded and the temptation
proves too great, he commits what may
be his first crime. So the difficulty in
detecting mail robbers is that each one
is different from all the others, and
the detectives are obliged to learn
new lesson in each case. OF course,
this does not apply to cases where a
dishonest clerk Systematically steals
small amount from letters. Clerks are
not only dishonest, but foolish"

THE MODEL MorHER-1N-LAw.

1 am mother-in-law. Some folks
Think am only good for jokes;
But If they only knew my heart
They wouldn't try to be SO smart.
I've been slave to duty's voice
For weary years. Now when my choice
Is resting ere go above,
I'm m ore slave, and all for love.
Yes, for affection unreturned
I go without the rest I've earned
To do for sons-in-law what few
Own mothers can or like to do.
When sickness comes tor me they send;
In poverty am their friend
And shelter them ana theirs until
They stand again on fortunes Hill.
Then who welcomed them in need,
Receive welcome poor indeed
When lovesick for my da ughter's face
1 seek her husbands dwelling place.
'Tis who tell my daughter-wife
To yield in matrimonial strife
And love the husband who, may be,
Thinks all the troubles caused by me,
1, who have held my babies small
In my own time and heard them bawl
In hopes sometime might be through,
Now hold the generation new.
Well, I'm emother-in-law 1 know
That Heaven only can bestow
By Just reward from duty done
So ioke away and have vour fun
