Inspector 4. B. Norton of the post
office department who was 10 town last
week upon an official inspection Of the
rural delivery routes not only left good
impression with those 10 town he met
but extended 1t into the rural country.
On Wednesday, the day Of the dis
agreeable raiustorm, he went out with
the driver OF r. f. d. No. to inspect
that route, and they were unfortunate
enough to tip over. The inspector was
thrown out in the soft snow on his head,
landing on his back on the top Of the
large umbrella he carried. The good
impression he made In the soft snow
still attracts attention, and the motions
he made in executing it, if they could
have been seen, would cause many a
trick performer to take back seat.
