OF course | don't mean to say that ALL
our business mon reside on Second
street, but am inclined to believe that
there are more in proportion to the
number of residences, than on any
other street in town
Wonder why the gun club don't
"shoot" any more? Have they run
short of clay pigeons or has the owner
of the ice house near the shooting
grounds served an injunction on them
so as to prevent his ice being perfo-
rated with stray shot? 1t is said the
new roof to the ice house was made
necessary by the fact that certain
shootist's gun scattered too much. 1t
wont scatter any more, however, be-
cause he saw an advertisement in u
sporting paper which read as follows
"How to prevent II gun from scattering
Send 81. 90 for directions" He sent his
dollar and in a few days received his
directions, which read-''Don't Shoot
it." understand the club will have u
meeting next week, and if possible 1
will ''sneai" in and report the proceed
ings.
| happened to oe Standing in tie
post Office a few days since, watching
the people come and go and listening
to a few of the questions propounded to
our post master. A young lady entered
and made dive for the general deliv-
cry window. AS she stepped into the
door | could see she was expecting II
letter. ''Is there any mail for me -
she asked. The p. M. gave her a
small package which resemDled Safe
Cure Almanac" Isn't there any
thing I1ol ~ mo ma'am.n ''Ain't
she.e any letters ?n mo ma'am. Are
YOU sure?' "Yes ma am" Twill YOU
please look again?' P. NJ. looks in
box and replies, nothing there
well, ] ought to get two letters" she
said as she started for the door, while
the p. NJ. sat down upon THE office
chair and began to think of few words
suitable for the occasion, when the
lady returned and once more called
him to the window to ask him-''do
Won unnOSa the letters were carried
past by the train 2" "Probably.n "A
friend of mine wrote to me two days
ago, and l should have received it yes
terday. Do you suppose it will come
back on next train ?" 81 hope So"
said the p. M. as he tried to commit
suicide by licking the carmine ink off
OF new postage stamp, while the fe-
male departed fully determined to come
back upon the arrival of the next mail
train. If that letter don't show up
soon the p. Nj. better take II lay off, or
get some one to write Il letter for her.
