An old negro bearing o huge bundle
Of bedclothes which were somewhat the

pze got ter start IL off!"
"Oh, you want TO send the package
by mail, do your" asked the clerk,
without cracking smile.
"Sartain. fer sho', boss. How much
is got ter pay;" inquired the darky.
The clerk could not resist the temp
tation to play joke upon fellow
clerk, so he said:
"Well, uncle, this isn't the place fol
you to leave your bundle, but if yor
will just take it down to that window
below here"-indicating the general
delivery department-"and hand 1t IN
to the clerk down there, he will put the
right number Of stamps OH it and send
it of for you"
"Thanke'ee, boss; thank'ee. / sho' !.
obleeged ter you" said the unsuspect'
ing Senegambian.
He at once made his way TO the de
partment indicated. Arriving there, hs
thrust his huge bundle into the win
dow, into which il fitted closely, at the
same time telling the astonished presid
ing genius Of that department please tt
put stamps ON it and sent it to my old
oman, Sallie Sanders, down in Water
