Misdrection, incorrect, illegible, and deficient address are
given rs leading causes which occasion the failure of mail matter
to reach its proper destination, and affect alike that which is SO
addressed to either city, town or village.
Mail matter should be plainly and correctly addressed, the
name of the post office to which it is to be sent should be clearly
and distinctly stated, and to avoid confusion from the similarity
of authorizations, as frequently used, the name of the State should
also be given in full. In the case of mail addressed to small
offices, or where there IT Offices of like names in different States,
the name of the county should be added.
Where mail matter is addressed to cities or free-delivery
Offices the street and house number, or post-ofice box number of
the person addressed are important, and should always be given
when it is possible to do so.
Where this cannot be done, the business or employment Of
the person addressed, if stated, will often secure delivery.

PROVED HIS DEVOTION.
AnothG Woman Falls q Victim 10 The WILLIS d
Deeeitful Nan.

A Woodward avenue dentist received q
call the other morning from q couple
whom he soon had reason to believe were
lovers, says the Detroit Free Press. The
girl had an aching tooth, and as they
entered the Office the young man said;
Now, darling, the worst is over. Just
take seat and It will be out in 4 min
ute."
"OhI dasnt," she gasped.
"But 1t really don't hurt you any, you
know"
"But Pm afraid II will"
at can't. I'd have one pulled in q
minute u It ached."
81 don't believe It,"
ooh, yes, l would"
"Has she got q bad tooth?" asked the
dentist.
ayes, sir. It has ached for u week,
and I've just succeeded in getting her
down here. Come, darling, have it out"
ooh! can'tw
"But you must"
81 can't stand the hurt"
"Hurtl Now, then, I'll have one
pulled just to show you that it doesn't
hurt"
He took seat, leaned back and opened
his mouth, and the dentist seemed to be
selecting tooth to seize with his forceps,
when the girl protested.
"Hold onl The test is sufficient. He
has proved his devotion. Get out, Harry,
and I'll have It pulled"
She took the chair, had the tooth
drawn without q groan, and as she went
out she was saying to the young man:
"Now can believe you when you de-
clare that you would die for me-"
And yet every tooth in his head was
false

There was moment Of puzzled silence.

An EIIsnSbursh Girls Mistake.

Ellensburgh Register: Some Of the
Ellensburgh girls have great mouths for
pie. Recently one Of them found horse
shoe, and hoping it would bring her luck,
placed it under her pillow when she re-
tired, where she had already placed her
false teeth. When she arose in the morn
ing, ere dawn, she placed the horseshoe
in her mouth, and did not discover the
mistake until she went to make up the
bed and found the plate Of teeth.

right Of being her escort. Mrs. Sprague
was similarly indebted for her mount

beaming little body she was as she rode
over the springy turf at the side Of the
dark haired troop leader.

Mrs. Belknap had heard IL

Electrical Expert Wheeler was telling
a story the other day 10 party OF ac-
qnaintances about what he called an
electrically fed houo." A citizen OF n
Western town. OF IAN inventive turn OF
mind, concluded that il involved too
much labor on his part 90 rise early
every cold morning and trot out TO the
barn 10 feed the family horse. so he
purchased two tons OF oats, had theni
placed in bin over the horses stall
and connected the manger and the bin
by means OF chute terminating in n
hopper. To the hopper he attached
valve controlled nv electricity. aud so
arranged that, when operated, single
feed of oats would run into the manger
He ran his wires into the kitchen and
connected them with push button.
The family were charmed with the ar
rangement, and quite envied him the
pleasure OF feeding the family pet Az
ter few days peculiar noises began to
issue from the barn, and upon investi-
cation poor Pegasus was found TO be
fairly swimming in two tons of A
oats. He was dug out, and the valve
which worked SO we'll was consigned 10
oblivion.
Mr.. Wheeler told this little warn 10

body OF an inventive turn OF mind is ex-
perimenting in electricity. The results
achieved by some are quite valuable,
but the majority OF the inventors have
only pain for their trouble. Electricity
is like a vicious mule said he 1t is
dangerous TO handle, and the mishaps
Of these would be inventors are numer-
Gus and in some cases fatal. Most OF
them are OF n ladicrous nature, like the

From his birth, little Benjamin Nc
Kee has been the special object OF his
grandparents love and care. His first
word was "up" up directed 20 his
grandfather, meaning that he wanted to
be carried. Tie little fellow grew into
a quiet despot, refusing 20 be comforted
or quieted by any other means. When
the family first entered the White
House last spring, the children suffered
from colds, contracted by reason OF the
poor ventilation Of the mansion. OFTEN
at night, in those trying times when
the President was deeply concerned by
the affairs OF state just committed 10
his care, he paced the floor OF his room,
with little Benjamin in his arms, sooth-
ing him 10 quiet and sleep, when no one
save grandpa" could manage him with
good results.--A. j. HALFoRD, in March
