There are perhaps no religious meet

colored brethren. Sometimes, however,
their theology, though no doubt sound
at the core, becomes little confused in
its expression.
At recent ''praise meeting" one good
old darky displayed a knowledge of
geography which was, at least, not de-
rived from the ordinary text book. He
said:

1t is rather remarkable how the thou
sands who patronize the postofice lack
eyes. A little while ago there were
signs and notices enough about the
building to give any one who looked all
the information necessary about the ar
rival and the departure of mails and the
other matters about which those who
used the building would naturally want
to know. But the clerks had to answer
so many questions that the postmaster
established a Bureau Of Information,
where all questions should be cheerfully
answered by clerk with nothing else 10
do. And now, although the stamp win
dows are conspicuously placed and plain
ly marked, it has been found necessary
TO put up over the window of the inquiry

sign reading: mo stamps sold here"
