In these days of lightning cancelins

full what they place inside of letters
A man received a letter at the post
office a day or two ago which stated
that it contained a key. The key
was small and fiat, and its presence in
the letter could hardly be discovered.
When the letter reached the owner
there was no key in it. but hole was
cut in one end out Of which the key
had passed. 1t was explained that the
Dolphin Filler canceling machines. now
used in many postofiices, are furnished
with a stout pair OF rubber rollers
through which the letters pass at
lightning speed. These force out at
one end anything like key or a coin
which may be in it. All the postmaster
could do in the case was to write to
the office where the letter had been

Grant in his cadet days was so quiet,
even-tempered, undemonstrative. that
great soldiership was never suspected,
He was known as Sam" Grant and a
splendid horseman-thats about all,
writes General Charles King in the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
Sherman was a keen Ohio Yankee,
with a gift for science and study that
landed him in the artillery. Meade
was quiet, but quick-tempered, lover
of books. Sheridan was a snappy-eyed
slim-built little Irishman. who lost a
year and nearly lost his commission
for sailing into a cadet sergeent who
had reported some military solecism
on his part. George Crook, his room
mate, helped him through with mathe-
mates in their boy days, as he did
with the battling in the Shenandoah
long afterward Taking them by and
large, as the sailors would say. the
men who won the highest honors in the
great war were not always those who
won highest honors at the Point. Nc
Pherson, Mackenzie and O'Rorke, ii is
true, headed their respective classes
and were superb in battle-equal TO
any command. Mcpherson was the
chief and idol of the army of the
Tennessee when he met his soldier
fate in front of Atlanta. and Macken-
zie, leader in devilment in his cadet
days, survived the scars Of the war to
become the highest officer of his years
in the regular army, only because he
had as many lives as a cat.
