at the bean bag tournament, or u
non at the free reaning room,
where / would sometimes meet
other people. But all that is pass
ed now.
A dark shade of goods with an
invisible check in the pocket of the
pocket of of the vest would suit me
very well. / wear tail coat and a
very long 1.-THE pant, In postoflice
work dress plainly but neatly.
Remember me to the admins
tration, and say that while unsual-
ly busy this season, have not al
lowed prosperity to crowd the adj
ministration out of my memory.
l was quite sorry not to have
seen you when last was in Phila-
delphia, for / know that we would
have pleased each other. / am a
frank, open faced, self-made man
who forgot to order sufficient hair
while putting up the job. L am
easy to get acquainted with, and
hard to shake off. You can al ways
have fun with me if you go atit
right, John, and yet there are few
men who can knock the tar out of
u general delivery window equal to
me. | de not allow business cares
to weigh ON me too heavily. My
grocer is generally more thought
ful and chastened looking man
than myself, and yet | can distrib-
ute more lower case mail than any
body you ever saw.
l would want two pairs of seal
brown socks with eight day clocks
of some contrasting color.
Doubtless the president may
have some someone in his mind
for the New York post-oliice, some
one who will shine more in society,
perhaps, some one who will please
the eye more for the moment; but
what we want for that position is
pure, good man, who loves the old
flag and who wants to see good
post-office in New York, where a
man can 60 and present money
order without being indicted by a
grand jury before he can get away.
| believe, general, Il man who leads
a good christian life ought not to
be jumped on and hooted and trod
into the earth because he present
ed a money order at Il New York
Office for payment. We are liable
to make mistakes. | presented a
money order at a New York, think
ing the Office would be so eager to
pay an order as it would be to sell
me one, but l was young then and
had seen very little of the world.
Anybody could fool me with kind
word then. Now | have rem titan
ces sent to me by freight inside
joint of gas pipe and don't have
to wait so long.
My hired man, who mows the
lawn and salts the hens at my
chalet by the sea, will also want Il
suit of clothes as the weather gets
warmer. l wish you would figure
on a suit for him-a suit that will
look better than it really is and
cost very little, will do. The cost
may be a mere bagatelle. Could
you arrange it so that the cost
would be mere bagatelle?
/ was elected also to an Office
at one time, by the people them
selves. l say this to show you that
I am well thought of by my neigh
bors, My election wasrather IL sur
prise to some. 1t showed that even
then, young and poor as l was,
was q shrewed politician and well
calculated to succeed. We c0mbin-
ed three elements in such II way as
to bring out not only the full
strength of the party, but also to
draw some from the other. These
three elements consisted of:
First-Enemies of the other man.
Second-Rivals who wanted to see
him laid under the sod.
Third-Creditor who saw no way
of getting their pay unless l was
elected.
With these elements we succeed
ed without the aid of money in
purifying the ballot and electing Il
good man.
DO you publish catalogue and
pricelist of your general store in
Philadelphia We trade now with
New York houses almost eXclus-
lively, but / am told that your prices
are reasonable and goods all right,
also that we can get anything at
your place, from tooth brush to a
straw ride. Mr.. Mac Veagh told
me that you was general dealer
