Several years ago Rev. Sidi H. Brown advo-
Gated that style in his Neighbor and gave as
his reason that the destination was the most
important. because that was the only thing
that concerned the postmasters and route
agents until the letter was at its journeys
end. The postmaster ut its destination was
the only one required TO read the name OF the

no instructions as to the order In which the
different parts Of the address should come 1t
is said that, now and then, postmaSters refuse

they claim that they are improperly address

would not be safe for postmaster to make nm

from the walk, and with him was an
older boy whom I had instructed
Johnnie not to keep company WITH
My boy knew I was not pleased, but

ciliate me came with his hands fllad
with chestnuts, and his dear face
.beaming with smiles, and offered the
gathered riches to me. Without even.

face be forgotten, as he slowly realized
that his mother was angry with him..

And after all, the boy who had been
the occasion of the trouble, turned out
to be better than was represented.
He becameTa good friend Of my john
