NUMBER "a.

THE PosTMAsTER's JoKE.-A
few days ago the assistant postmas-
ter of Port Chester, Penn. suspected
the carriers of having stolen some
oranges he had in the office, accord
ing to local paper. So he bought
another stock, and asked neighbor-
ing druggist to inject into them some
drug that would make the thieves
sick but not injure them. The drug
gist injected water, and then in
formed the carriers. They of course
stole the oranges, and when the
owner entered the Office he found
them all very sick. In lit
tie while they were writhing on the
floor. Then the joker thought tho
druggist had made a mistake, and
ran to him for a prescription. He
prescribed brandy, and it took five
dollars worth to relieve them of
their pain. Some of them got lit
tie over-cured by the medicine, or
on the other side of normal condi-
ton, but they enjoyed their superb
or's joke all the same.
