 An American who was making a brief visit in London not long ago wished to send postcard in a great hurry. As he was near the general postoffice he pur- chased the card there thinking to write and post 1t all under the same roof. But as he took up pen out of one of the well-equipped desks in the building s spacious corridors, a uniformed officer stepped up and said: You can't write that ere. sir" The American apologized, removed to another desk. and had bare ly grabbed his pen second time when another officer appeared. You cant write that ere. sir," he said; "hits hagaln horders." The American betook himself to third desk. A third official appear ed and told him he couldn't write at that desk.

THE PENSION IDEA
ADVOCATED BY THE ADvER-
 TIsER as INTERESTING.
Plan Meets With Universal Ap- proval Throughout the Entire State-Many Contestants
 Filing Claims.

Only two weeks ago The. Advertiser first introduced its plan for furnishing of the oldest readers with a reward for their patronage.
 The plan has already met with unusual success and the interest being manifested among the old readers Is becoming inter esting. All kinds of claims are being put forth and old gray haired citizens are digging up any quantity of ancient his- tory concerning the early days Of The Advertiser and the pioneer times of newspaper days.
 Many of the statements already fur nished will make interesting .as we'll as historical reading that will be appreciated by young and old alike.
 "Who is the oldest Advertiser reader" is being discussed daily, on the train, about the hotels, in the shops and around the fireside almost everywhere in Alabama.
 Nearly every contestant sending in a statement for filing in this contest has somewhere to say. that he thinks "I am the oldest reader you have, I'm sure"
 It's too bad to have to disappoint so many, but certainly a great many will be, as prizes are to be awarded to the ten oldest only. consequently there will be a great many sure ones' go over until next year
 ne AuNeTtlSeT f1dS duOpteu rue TUT conducting this contest that will have to be strictly adhered to in all cases. In the first place, The Advertisers books and records were destroyed by Federal s6idiers in 1865 which accounts for the inability to tell anything about business previous to that date.
 Therefore 1t has been arranged that each contestant shall make a statement covering. to the best of recollection, the A-lr The Advertiser. either Daily or Weekly. stating which. and follow up this state ment with any information of inteerst on the subject to the present time.
 The next step Is to take this statement to a Justice of the Peace or Notary Public and make oath to it. This pro- ceedure is necessary in order that all contestants shall be treated in a uniform manner as it is not the purpose of The Advertiser to be unfair in the matter of making the awards or to use any favorit- ism. Every contestants claim will be filed and passed upon according to their merits and the ten having the longest records shall secure their rewards.
 The first five oldest, shall have the daily and Sunday Advertiser mailed to their address for the balance of their life time.
 The next and last five shall have The Weekly Advertiser in the same manner. Nothing but sworn statements will be considered.
 A brief history of each contestants life is also required at the time of filing statement regarding subscription, togeth- CT with a recent photograph.
 Over three weeks yet remain for old readers to hunt up their early recollec- tions and file claims. Don't get left. get in on time. Contest closes December 31st.
 All correspondence will receive prompt attention by addressing 'Old Reader Department" The Advertiser.
