"Well, isn't that right?" queried the

Has the mail gone to Cleveland

which helps to add to the burdens of
the postal clerk, for there are eight
mail trains to Cleveland each day,

keep the clerk busy trying to keep
track of these mails.

his heart for the man or woman who
remembers that he is human and an
preciates courtesy as much as the rest
of mankind.
1t is absolutely surprising how many
people are absolutely ignorant of the
way Uncle Sam handles the mail, and
nine out of every ten women think the
mail Is brought into the Office and
dumped on a table, while each mail
carrier scrambles into the bunch and
hunts out ,he mail that belongs to him.
The real manner of the doing is thus:
The mail is brought from the trains
and taken to the dumping department
where one clerk is kept busy doing
nothing but dumping mail. 1t is then
thrown onto the back-stamping tables
where all letters and papers are back
stamped, according to the hour of their
arrival. Four clerks are kept busy
distributing mail into 30 different de.
partments, one for each carrier. Each
carrier then takes mail from these
compartments to his carrier case.
where it is distributed INTO pigeon
holes and then routed, so that the car.

his route.

best advantage, with no time wasted.

HER LOVE
Was Stranger Than an Her Reason
and She Is Insane.

Tacoma, Wash, May 12.-Disap-
pointment in love has driven Mary
r. Allen insane. Fifteen years ago
she lived in a small Michigan town,
near Kalamazoo, Her affianced lover
came to this State to seek his fortune.
Before his departure VOWS and prom
ises were made. They corresponded
regularly. Two and half years ago
Miss Allen accompanied her brother
to Spokane, expecting to-, meet her
lover. On arriving there she. found
he had located farther West and she
failed to meet him. The matter prey
ed upon her mind deeply. The climax
came last week when she heard a
rumor that he had married another
woman. She left her home without
hat or wrap and was found wandering
aimlessly on the street.

GREAT
Extension to Be
Made
- IL
By Carrara Paint Co.
at Barberton.
Will More Than Double Its Pres
ent Capacity.
Especial Correspondence.)

Barberton, May 12-The Carrara
Paint Company is making arrange
ments to branch out and expects soon
to have double the number of buildings
it now has at Barberton, which will
increase the capacity of the plant three
times. This will mean that 12o per-
sons will be employed where now there
are,but 60. In naddition to the improve
ments to be made on the plant at Bar
berton, the Carrara Co. will erect a
branch of the plant at ST. Louis, Mo.
One reason for this as given by one of
the officials of the company is that
should the factory at Barberton abe
destroyed by fire, the company would
be practically ruined, as most of the
business would get away before the
plant could be rebuilt, while If there
is a branch plant 1t would only be nee
essary to increase its capacity in order
to take care of the business. The Car
rara Paint Co. also has large west
ern trade and st. Louis is an excel
lent shipping point. The largest
paint customer in the world is the
Simmons Hardware Company of st.
Louis, and this company recently
placed the largest paint order ever
given to any one with the Carrara
Paint Co.
The Carrara Paint Co. does an enor-
nous mail order business, and 20
stenographers are constantly employ
ed to take care of this business. Com
paratively few girls are employed in

THE WOES OF AN .~.
's' AKRON POSTAL CLERK
He Is Blamed For Many Things and Thanked
For Very Few.

"Life would be a blissful dream to
the postal clerk if only women We're
debarred from the General Delivery
window" said well known Akron
Postoffice official, the other day.
'There would be few hardships in
the Akron postal clerks life if only
men were allowed at the several de-,
livery windows, as man walks up
to the window, asks for his mail, and
if he doesn'. get any, turns on his heel,
and marches out, venting his disap-
pointment on the office cat or the type
writer, if necessary, but never on the
postal clerk.
"Not So with a woman. She ap-
proaches the window timidly and
sweetly inquiries for her mail. If told
there is nothing for her she eyes the
clerk suspicously, for a moment, as
though she has an idea he is holding
her mail back for some reason, and
says: We'll, that's strange; there ought
to be some The clerk Is good natur-
ed (he has become hardened to such
things and doesn't say anything, and
yet he is scarcely to be blamed if he
feels slightly resentful at the implica-
ton that he is deliberately defrauding
the lady of her rights and holding back
her mail when he would be only too
happy to give her letter if some one
had the consideration to write to her."
A lady approached the clerk at the
stamp window in the Akron postoflice
the other day, and asked for five two
cent stamps. She was given the
stamps and 10 cents in change. She
counted the money and then calmly
drew the attention of the clerk to the
fact. that he had made mistake.
'.You only gave me 10 cents change"
she said.

security. But, the publication of the
story in Fridays edition of the Demo-

plans and knocked the scheme galley
