me.
THE widow was about to invite me to
dinner. She had suggested dinner ana

when she stopped and gazed with fixed
stare at the bottom Of the stone. fol-
lowed her gaze and then I lost my proud
feeling for beneath the four-line verse
suggested by the lady interested l read
two lines running something like this:
ITO follow you we're not content
Until we learn which way you went.
"And I have not been paid for that
shaft yet" concluded the fat man as he
stretched his. legs and wandered OH
toward the barber shop.
The meek-looking little man looked like
football player at the fag end of a
35-minute half when he tumbled down
the steps of the interurban car and
sprinted for the entrance Of the Ryan
"A friend of the little man stopped on the
curb and explained it all to the surprised
group while he waited for the wreck to
return from the wash room.
Yes. I know him. said the friend.
"He-is a respectable citizen. really

him get ons the car and with his usual
modest manner he picked corner near
the door. Then saw q small boy get on
and drop a pile of bundles down on that
long side seat about three feet from my
friend.
When the car stopped again, a man
and alWOman climbed into it. l say man
and woman because the man got on first.
The woman sat down on the side seat.
She sat near the bundles. There was a
plenty ofgrpom for the man on the other
side of the woman. but he evidently
overlooked this vacant space.
He saw the bundles all right and then
he sized up my meek-loeking friend. A
word would have explained it all, but the
man looking at the bundles demonstrated
that he was a man of few words for he
reached down, grabbed the bundles and
then my meek friend caught a jolt that
startled him.
Having removed the bundles the man
sat down and glared at my meek friend.
I insist that my friend is a respectable
citizen, but that was too much and it
was the strangers turn to be surprised
for the bundles slid back along the seat
and caught the man who had started the
excitement right in the back.
when. we separated the two the
stranger was insis ting that he would
never stand seeing any guy hog it on
street ear, and my friend was attempting
to emphasize the fact that he had never
owned the bundles with short-arm body
jabs...

A passing hearse turned the talk into
funereal channels. and then the little
knot of travelling men watching city life
from the window of the Windsor hotel
discovered that the fat man who had
sat through the entire discussion of Seth
Lows chances without saying word,
could tell good story. -
ut was just day like this when We
went out to set up the tombstone" said
the fat man, as he hitched up his chair
into the center of the group.
IT was in the marble business at that
time. A widow came in one day and
wanted the best stone in the shop. She
had been married about four months
when the alleged head of the family quit
living. He had an NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
bundle of gold certificates and bonds,
and the bundle went to the widow.
She really loved her husband, and
she was sincere in her desire to give him
the best monument to be secured She
picked out beautiful shaft of granite,
and then came the inscription for the
stone. remember it yet. 1t ran as fol-
lows:

with money no object, I had the

when the shaft was ready 1t looked fit
for a king. I had it all packed UP, and
then came the first of the trouble
THE widow lived at a town called
Cedar Plain, or some such name and, of
course, the clerk marked the box that
contained the shaft wrong. 1t was ship
Ped to Cedar Grove instead of Cedar
Plain and came back to the freight
house.
The freight agent was friend of
mine, but he was careless and forgot to
notify me that the shaft had returned
He even forgot all about it until one day
stumbling over the long box he grabbed
hammer and knocked off the top just
to see what the package contained.
THE hole in the box opened right over
the bit of verse and the words started
the agent thinking. He did not quite
agree with the suggestion to follow the
man that the stone was intended for and
he decided to announce his feelings in the
matter. He looked up an old chisel and
went to work. When he felt relieved he
renailed the cover and notified me to
move the box
With the box located 1t was only a
question of a day to get it to the right
estimation and the next morning the

BONDSMEN ARE RESPONSIBLE,
Decision Regarding Sureties for
Postal Clerks and Carriers

Decision Regarding Sureties for
Postal Clerks and Carriers.
The Attorney General has forwarded to
the Post Office Department a decision In
which he holds that the government can
collect from the bond of postal clerk
or carrier for money which he steals from
registered letter. The government is held
to be under a moral obligation to recover
and restore valuable mail to the owner
when stolen by a government employee.
and the surety company guaranteeing the
employe Is made liable to the amount OF
its bond. The decision settles an old cons
troversy between the Post Office Depart-
ment and surety companies over the ex.
tent of the latters responsibility.
The decision was in the case of a letter
carrier in New York city, who stole two
letters containing over $1,000. OF this in
spectors recovered 1900, and called on the
Fidelity and Deposit Co. of Maryland, who
bonded the carrier, for the remainder. The
company rendered instead only $40 for each
letter on the ground that that was all that
the government was liable for to the own
er, but agreed to abide by decision of the
Attorney General in the matter.
The latter now holds that when carrier
steals a registered letter containing money
he is responsible for the amount stolen;
that under the guaranty of the bond he
violated such bond and the surety conn
pany therefore is held responsible under
its contract for the amount Of the money
stolen provided it did not exceed the
amount for which the bond was given.

Druggists might be supposed to have
more than ordinary confidence in the good
intentions of the world. Prescriptions In
many places are put up behind a frame
work in the back Of the shop, and custom
ers are apparently left to themselves while
the compromising is in progress. AS mat
ter of fact, they are. watched most of the
time. In the framework behind which the
druggist stands, between the bottles which
line the place, many peep holes are made.
and through them the man out of sight
takes frequent observations.
