To Provide for Post Office Onicials,

There is a good deal Of quiet gossip going on
among the employees of the Post Office Depart
ment in regard to the future movements of
some Of the officials. This talk is Of more than
usual interest it is understood that several
will probably continue as assistants to Mr..
Wanamaker and will go with him to Philadel-
phia. where they will find scope for the exer-
cire Of their abilities in the great business es-
Enlistment there which is conducted by Mr.
Wanamaker. While there is nothing known
definitely by those outside Of the immediate
circle Of the ones interested who the chosen
ones are, still it is said that some who are going
are not in the class that, politically speaking,
would expect to retire from the public service
upon the advent of another party in power.

And fair it looked to my innocent

And my life no longer seemed sad

For the sun of my happiness bright

For my altar fires died, my poor

My idol lay shattered-the weak,
