Often q young man has written two
letters at the same time and then placed
them in the wrong envelopes, but the
latest break of this kind was made by
one of the prettiest girls in Louisville.
She wrote a letter to her brother, who is
at Knoxville, and at the same time let
ter to well known young newspaper
man. The envelope directed to the lat
ter contained letter beginning Dear
Brother" At first the recipient of the
epis1le did not think this strange, as the
young lady, although living in the CITY,
is boarding at one of the female schools.
After reading few lines he saw it was
not intended for him. Looking at the
end he saw tie letter was signed ssYour
Little Sister This alarmed him and he
began to think how he could get the girl
out of the scrape.
Finally he lost his head and did the
very thing he should not have done. He
telegraphed the brother not to open the
letter, that it was not intended for him.
This had just the opposite effect, and the
brother opened it, read it through and
then forwarded it to his parents. The
young Lady is being sent to school to
keep her away from this aspiring young
journalist. The father paid him a call
and a stormy scene was the result. The
young lady's letters have to go through
the hands of the teacher now. In spite
of this she has managed to get letter to
him, and he has written an answer that
has reached its destination, proving that

A Primitive Process.

There Is no government tug at the
Norfolk navy yard now, and in moving
heavy vessel along the wharf front the
hauling is accomplished mostly by the
bull teams of the yard, a primitive pro-
cess, but the best available at present.
1t takes about four yoke of bulls to move
vessel easily along, but when they
tackle big ship like the double turreted
monitor Alnphitrite the bulls generally
go down exhausted before the hzuling is
over In doing tug duty for the past
year the bull team appears as new fac
tor m the economy OF navy yard affairs.
