1t is stated that the post Office.
officials at Washington have just
ruled that a subscription to any
publication, entered as second
class mail matter, must be dis
continued, when the time eS-

interferes altogether too much
with the business of the publish

A POLICEMAN'S DIPLOMACY.
He Was Mild hammered and His Beau
tifuI BrOgue Made an linz
preston,

Most policemen would have come
up and slapped the three roysterers
on the back and said gruf11y:
Here, no smoking allowed in this
depot"
But the officer who was on duty
before the ticket window of the Ex-
change street station was a diplomat
and worthy of wider sphere than
ne will ever have, even as a depot
policeman, says the Buffalo Courier.
There were really four in the par
ty, but there were three of them
who were seeing the other man off.
All of them are exhibit attaches at
the Pan-American exposition, and
the fourth man was leaving for his
home in far western state. With
his three companions they had start
ed for the train several hours before
train time, and they had spent most
of the intervening time in drinking
his health. Naturally, they were in
mood to be little careless of the
depot regulations.
About half an hour before train
time one of them discovered that
there was a later train which their
friend could take and arrive at his
destination just as soon, while the
new arrangement would lengthen the
time they would have to express
their regard for him at sundry bars.
rhey repaired to the depot to have
his ticket changed.
While he was going through this
formality at the ticket office, they
stood little way back in the wait
ing room, putting vigorously on
strong cigars. A policeman ap-
preached, but he wasn't gruff at all.
With pleasant smile and strong
Hibernian brogue he remarked:
''It's ivident none of We gintlemin
believe in soigns."
"Why not?" asked one of them.
Because" replied the diplomatic
policeman, "there be wan over there
which rades: No smoking allowed in
this waitin'-room.'
Three cigars came out of three
mouths with chorus movement, and
there was no more smoking.
