lola was third class city, kilograms
were delivered the same day that
they arrived, but as q second class
city, the messenger boys consider it
beneath their dignity to move so fast,
and man feels elated If the news
arrives of the death Of his moth erin

not from ambitious motives but a
the call Of duty. His place has not

the boys answered letter from hi
best girl and while he was writing
heard the fire alarm and ran, leaving
the letter open on the reporters table
Thinking 1t q letter from one of tn
county correspondents, the reporte
started to hang it on the hook, wheI
he noticed, staring in frey letters a
the top of the first page: "My Dea

it was very interesting reading.
Ed. McHugh, drsyman, is pecul
lar person. To look at him yOl
would think he was a confidence
man, but the other day he found
dear old, fussy, worried woman iron

her trunk hauled somewhere in town
She asked Ed. how much it woul,
be, and he answered earelessly, tn
usual price, twenty-five cents" Tn
old lady dug up decripit purse, an
by dint of hard scratching made tn
change and had one penny left
Then that idiotic drayman, maxim
the excuse that the haul was shoI
one, gave her back the money an
hauled the trunk free.
