POST OFFICE SNAKES
WHY THE WOMEN CLERKS NEvET
VISIT THE CELLAR OF THE
BUILDING.

W A AAAE W ONALAN &AaAAlAAhJ M LIN
VISIT THE CELLAR OF THE
BUILDING.
The women clerks, and some Of the
men employees, OF the West Chester
post Office do not visit the cellar OF the
building, where the mails Of Uncle Sam
are handled at the present time, and
probably will not do so for some time
to come, says the Local News OF that
place.
There is a colony OF snakes in the
cellar.
OF course they are only water snakes
and OF small size, but they are as bad
as boa constructors, or rattlesnakes, to
the clerks. The employees do not rel
ish the idea OF working over a regular
geological garden collection OF reptiles.
There is a story, so It is said, about
this collection OF snakes, involving the
loss OF a position as a clerk in the
office.
Some time ago a misguided young
man in this place raised family of
snakes by Matching them from the
eggs. Soon after this occurrence a
post office employe removed some OF
hho iAtiio ltpAlito 'iIOm lue DON IN
which they were kept, took them to the
post office and released them on the
floor in the presence OF the clerks.
There was Immediately a loud protest
and the man who introduced the rep
tiles was ordered TO remove them from
the building, and for some days It was
thought he had done so, but one day a
clerk who had gone to the cellar en-
countered one of the snakes and there
was more trouble. The matter was re-
ported and there was trouble for the
clerk who introduced them. He lost
his position. When he left. however.
he did not remove the snakes and ii is
a question now at what moment any of
the employees is likely to encounter
one. The other day one OF them near
ly caused a stoppage OF all mails by
crawling up through hole in the floor
from the cellar and quietly coiline
about steam pipe
Just now the clerks are wondering
Just what is to be done.

not deface the property would keep her out,

of the COW, told him that she had become an
intolerable nuisance and that he would glad
