That evening she came again TO the
postofice TO see if the package had come
from Hilton, Hughes & Co, but the
cold, calm face of the postmaster and
the sudden recollection that it requires
a week TO send letter from Pokeberry

master if be had any upright pianos suit

abused the postmaster also.
Finally, IN answer TO a letter sent TO
the postmaster general, special agent
came to Pokeberry Branch P. o. and
asked for the new woman.
He told her that il was a solemn thing
TO charge a poor postmaster with appro-

"Some would of tore up the receipt,

guest at a hotel N this city the other
evening, as he walked TO the desk in the
Office and threw the key upon it.
"What is the matter with it ," asked
the clerk
There is nothing the matter with it,
except that the bed is in the wrong
place" the guest replied. For more
than 20 years have slept in a bed with
the head toward the north, and it has
become such 4 habit with me that it
would be actually impossible for me to
sleep with the head in any other direc-

Calling porter the clerk instructed
him TO turn the bed in the gentleman's
room so that the head would be to the

retired and slept peacefully.

Before the night is over we may have

eral years ago. A man slightly inebri.
ated came into the hotel one night. and,
producing pocket compass, said that
he wished a room where the head of the
bed should be placed 10 the northeast.
We sent two boys with him, and they
turned the bed as requested. The joke
was that the compass was furnished
with little stop, which held the indi-
Gator in a certain position. 1t so hap
oened that the geDtleman's bed, which
had been carefully placed northeast ac-
