Tacoma NewS: Mayor Wheelwright
took ap immense bundle OF lettI n and
papers out Of his pOstoiIice box this
morninE. The most Of the letters we're
addressed to "W." A. Wheelwright and
when His Honor saw them he groaned
audibly. Sympath'zinS friends gathered
near and anxiously inquired us to wheth-
er the mayor was well or not. Replying
only with a sickIy, raught-out-in-the-
alley-aiter dark smile, the mayor lOck d
the secret In his breast and retired hastily
to his private office in the chamber Of
commere building to be alone with his
misery.
The BostOn hoax Is becoming burden
some. The letters we're all from fair,
young, but lonesome eastern damsels
who had seen the Boston newspaper des.
patch about the mayor Of fair and famous
Tacoma writing for wives for his country
men, and they had addressed him with
the very commendable and PralsewOrihy
intention Of securing one Of these hus
hands. From the tone Of the letters the
young men Of the east have b, Ell
neglectinE their duty rs the girls want hus.
bands awful bad and qui,k enough to
put special delivery stamp on some Of
the letters.
"How do you acrOunt for the origin Of
the Boston dispat' h?" Was asked the
mayor this morning.
II have not the slightest idea," said
he.
"What will you do with the lettersH"
Preserve them as curiosities," said
the mayor with u resigned, vittimized
smile.
The joke has serious side to II. Good
