Somebody's carrIessness.

The subscribers of THE TINES
along the Bonnie Terre railroad
route didn't receive their papers
last week until Saturday through
the earelsssness Of some one con.
nected with the Post Office ut this
place or the mail carrier between
here and Rock Springs. The paper
was held back one day in order to
furnish its readers with the official
count of the vote, and the sack
containing the package for that
route was placed In the Farming.
ton Post Office at $3.50 O'Clock
Friday morning. Numerous com
plants came 30 us over the phone
during the day. and we went to the
Post 0filse 10 make inquiries. The
sack containing THE Times was
still lying on the floor, there. and
Postmaster Doughty informed Ms
that the Rock Springs mail carrier
had neglected to take 1t along with
the other mail for that route In the
morning. So the papers laid on
the floor of the Post Office here
and were not lsent oct until that
night. We are not disposed TO
find unnecessary fault, for we know
that accidents will happen some
times with the best of care, but it
was q little unfortunate that this
should have happened Just at that
particular time.

'"It doesn't take much to draw
crowd" said the special officer at the
Reading Terminal yesterday afternoon.
Il had one this morning that was the
funniest ever, and what do you think
was the cause of it? A man getting
measured for a suit OF clothes He had
to catch the 1890 train for New York,
and he must have wanted that suit OF
clothes badly. He was afraid of missing
the train if he waited to get measured
in the tailor's shop, so nothing would do
but the tailor must go with him to the
Terminal. Trailing along behind them
came young fellow to take down the
numbers as the tailor called them out
1t was three minutes to train time, and
l tell you they didn't waste a second.
The tailor made his tape measure fly,
and the man stood near the gate with his
watch in his hand. In the meantime the
crowd had collected, and I couldn't keep
the people back. Everybody wanted to
know what was the matter, and very
officious old fellow was going around
shouting, Stand back and give them
airv The tailor finished his job just as
the conductor yelled All aboardv'-Phil-
