1t was Only q Mouse.

BUT IT STOPPED THE MAILS AND SCARED THE
FEMALES.
From the Philadelphia Record
.'Oh, mice! micer' screamed sweet female
voice in the newspaper department of the post
Office yesterday. With her eyes bullying full,
clear, and affrighted nearly out of beautifully
chiseled head, and her sweetly-scented switch
reversed to perpendicular track. ROSY
checked female clerk stood on the loftiest chair
in the room, with her flowing frOck grit close
to her person and her No. 80 tightly pressed to
exclude all obstreperous intruders.
.'Look there" said the handsome muse of
the newspaper box to her sister female graces,
pointing to basket containing paper matter
cough! obi" shrieked the graces while they
clambered each to her wooden pedestal to pose
like the sister muse of the newspaper box. The
entire male portion of the department turned
TO see fifty bullying orbs, fifty rosy cheeks and
lips compressed in puckerous surprise while a
half hundred tiny hands beat with great ami
nation the edges of their frocks. The half
hundred little mice who had started out from
the various baskets in which their brothers and
sisters and children were quietly gnawing and
nosing among the packages to play hide-and-
seek Immediately beat retreat. The young
gods of the mail-box came to the rescue of the
handsome muse and her charming sister graces
and the heartless miscreant intruders were
scattered to the four Corners of the earth. A
sigh Of relief went up above from over score
of female throats. The valley of death had
proved to be too much for the half-hundred,
although the Office tabbies had been derelict in
their duty.

Don't advertise unless you have something
worth buying. great many persons suppose
advertising alone is sufficient. This is nearly
as bad an error as TO suppose that having the
goods is sufficient alone.
This reminds us of q little story we once
heard Of boy who was sent out in the summer
with bag of green corn to SELL The boy was
gone all day, and returned with the bag un-
opened, which he dumped on the floor, say
ing: There is your corn, go and sell it your
seff-I can't" sSold any?' mo" said the
boy; ave been all over the city with it and
nobody said anything about green corn. Two
OF three fellows asked me what I'd got In my
bag and told them il was none of their bust
ness The. boy reminds us Of sonic business
men we know of who do not recognize the
benefits Of advertising.
