KISSES BY MAIL.
Charming Features OF Our Postoflce System
in Michigan.

Charming Features Of Our Postoi1lce System
in Michigan.
From the Detroit Free Press.l
The young postmaster of an eastern vii
lage was hard at work in his office when
gentle tap was heard upon the door and
in stepped a blushing maiden of 16,
with a money order which she
desired cashed. She handed it,
with bashful smile, to the official, who,
after closely examining it, gave her the
money it called for. At the same time he
asked her il she had read what was written
on the margin OF the order.
mo, have not" she replied, "for I can
not make 1t out. Will you please read it
for me?"
The young postmaster read as follows: 81
send you So and a dozen kisses"
Glancing at the bashful girl, he said.
"Now, L have paid you the money and
suppose you want the kisses"
Eyes" she said, "If he has sent me any
kisses want them, too"
1t is hardly necessary to say that the bal
ance Of the order was promptly paid, and in
a scientific manner
On reaching home, the delighted maiden
remarked to her mother:
Mother, this postoffice system of ours is
great thing, developing more and more
every year, and each new feature seems to
be the best. Jimmy sent me dozen kisses
along with the money order, and the post
master gave me 20. 1t beats the special de-
livery system all hollow"

IT WASN'T IN VAIN.
The Roller Skating Craze Made Its Devotee
Gra eful.

The Roller Skating Craze Made Its Devotee
Graceful.
From the New York Mail and Express.l
1.-THE roller skating rinks were condemned
on all Sides" said dealer IN sporting goods
yesterday, "but they were' mighty useful
in the cultivation of a graceful car
riage. The movement In ice skating
is entirely different from that
of roller skating. In the former
case the skates must adopt side movement
or take tumble. On rollers there is tum-
bic when the movement is not straight for
ward, as in walking. Go on any OF our
crowded thoroughfares and notice the pc
culiar motion of the majority Of the pedes-
trians. You will see that there is decided
tendency toward side motion.
"Now, person who practices on roller
skates is compelled to send his feet straight
forward and at the same time assume an
erect carriage. As a natural result of this
practice, the skater carries this straight for
ward movemet to the street or drawing room
when off the rollers. This soldierIy acquire
ment is desirable for everybody who cares to
hold his own with the graceful people of tine
sphere in which he moves. For that reason
alone claim the skating rink was great
institution. Those who now wish to possess
a graceful motion in public have to avail
themselves of the resources Of a military
school, or dancing academy. in the absence
Of the skating rink, which was both in
structive and pleasing at the same time"

THE FATHER SURPRISED.
Why nm Eminent Lawyer Wanted to PunI,h
His Son.

W - ~ ASinAhcub LAWYER wanted TO R1ninH
His Son.
New York star.l
Senator Coggeshall has received a letter
from his son Walter, who has located"
away out West as a LAWYER, and is in
excellent practice. 1t was Walter who,
after some years of study in his
fathers law office and after admission
to the bar, came like a loving son to
his father, and wanted some instructions
about his first case. 1t related to fence
lines, boundaries and all those multifarious
things that pertain to rural law courts.
Walter was somewhat at sea about the law
in the case, and he wanted to look into his
fathers books.
'Never mind the books" said the Sena-
tor. II have a case exactly similar, only I
am on the other side. If 1 were on your
side would show this and that" etc., and
he enlightened Walter immensely. When
the case came up. soon after,
Walter saw his father sitting with
counsel on the other side, and FOR that mat
ter the Senator soon after also saw, with a
great deal more establishment, Walter on
the opposite side.
If Your Honor please" said Walter,
this case is referable to the statutes of so
and SO, and on that 1 desire to make nv
plea. am advised by very learned and
reverend counsel, 1 may say revered coun-
sci, that am, etc., etc., and while speak
Ing he looked at his father. Then he made
his fathers hreside argument on the sons
side.
That father was an astonished man, but
ne was equal to the occasion. He rose, and
In an impressive voice said.
III Your Honor please, would like this
case postponed because of a very painful
family duty am called upon to perform"
Certainly, said the Judge, ''if counsel
desires it, (the Judge plainly thought there
was to be funeraD; ''the case is postponed
till Monday next" and then wiping his
spectaeles he said in low tone to the Sena-
tor:
What is this painful duty?"
Spanking, replied the Senator. Harry,
however, is safe out West, and his fathers
heart now aches to see him, even if he steals
his opinions.
