CHRONIC POSTAL SHOULDER.

"A trtfie more wadding will do 1t nice
ly,' said the tailor, and he made some
mysterious chalk marks on the coat Of
customer selecting the left shoulder
for his work. The customer went out
and another man, who had dropped in TO
pay something on account-not because
he felt like paying, but because he want
ed more clothing and didn't think no
could get 1t save by a demonstration OF
good faith-lOoked a question says the
New York Herald
got postal shoulder; that's all l get a
lot Of that sort of trade"
Whats a postal shoulder asked the
man whose installment gave him right
to be inquisitive.
Why" said the little tailor zone Of
his shoulders is shorter than It really
ought to be, don't you know? Ever
mall bag? Always has it slung over his
shoulder. l don't know anything about
the delivery Of the government mails,
shoulder Is rule Of the service, Ike
placing the shoes in regular position be-
side the bed is rule at the naval and
military academies, or whether It is inst
q habit the postmen have fallen into.
But do know they invariably carry the
pouch in that position.
THE result is that in course of time
and In course of q very limited time, 1
can tell you-they lose symmetry. The
right shoulder remains in it's natural pO-
sltion, but the left drops more or less,
DuL always enough TO make the defect
noticeable. If n postman wears the jacket
Of his uniform after he has finished his
work, you may notice the popularity
at once. When he comes to have a new
suit made the tailor has to make up the
deficiency in the height of the left Shout
der by padding That man who just left
here was letter carrier, and he has
come to look on it as a matter OF course
that his coat be filled out with raw cot
ton at a certain point.
There are a good many other persons
who are in need of cotton. There IS not
one man in q hundred who carries him
self absolutely straight, and the tailor
who goes ahead and makes both sides Of
his garment exactly alike is breeding dis
satisfaction. I don't often telI man who
complains that he is crooked, but it IS
fact, nevertheless I just study his mo-
lions and attitudes and go ahead to make
him symmetrical for a time. There are
lots Of things that will give a man post
mans shoulder, such as leaning regu-
larly over a desk, driving team OF
horses, reaching for a strap in a street
car, and a hundred other things But
the letter carrier has the most pronounce
ed case Of irregularlty of any of my GUS
toners"

DABNEY MARSHALL PARDONED.
Governor Longino Releases the Cele-
| brated Life Prisoner.

Governor Longino Releases the Cele-
brated Life Prisoner.
At an early hour the signature of
Gov. Longino was affixed to a docu-
ment that made Dabney Marshall a
free man.
Soon this news was telephoned to
the penitentiary and the celebrated
prisoner, who has attracted much at
tention and sympathy, was at liberty
to leave the institution that has been
his home for almost six years.
Words are impossible to describe
Marshall's joy when the news was re-
ceived. Tears streamed down his
cheeks as the office attaches and con-
victs employed about the warden's of
flee crowded up to extend their con-
gratulations. The news quickly
spread over the city and within half
an hour was known throughout the
city.
After the announcement of the par
don was made Gov. Longino was
warmly congratulated by number of
the State officials and prominent citi-
zens for his act of mercy.
This is the elimination of one of
the most energetic efforts that has
ever been made in Mississippi to Sc
cure executive clemency. No stone
has been left unturned to secure Mar
shall's release, and the granting of the
pardon is in response to popular de
mand that has continued almost since
the very day when he was brought tC
the penitentiary on the 10th of Au
gust, 1895, to serve life sentence fol
the killing of Il. T. Dinkius.
Mr.. Marshall will leave tomorrow
for his home in Vicksburg to weeI
with his old father and mother fol
very joy. He states that he will re
sumo the practice of law in the Hill
