AS You Like It.

The following notice is tackled to a
roadside tree in Maine: Straid or
Swiped- young hog shoate the left
ear cropt and tail gone. Also a black
spot on left hand hip and hole in
other ear. Said hog shoat desap-
peared from premises of underlined
owner at mite under sircumstansis
pointing to him being stole; said hog
shoat being pet and not apt to go
off on his own accord. Said hog
shoat answers to the name of Nellie
and will eat from the hand and can
stand on his hind feet like a dog,
and is off an affectionate nature.
Anyone returning said shoat or let
ting me know where he is at confers
benefit on a invlid lady whose pet
said hog shote was.
Love at first sight says an ex-
change is about the same thing as
buying something we don't need just
because it's cheap-the time isn't
long enough in coming when we
wish we could change it. This is
about the average smoothness of the
path of love a first sight. Shady trees,
babbling brook, girl in hammock
reading a book, golden curls tiny
feet, girl in the hammock looks SO
sweet, man rides by big mustache,
girl in hammock makes mash.
Mash is mutual, day is set, man
and maiden married get, keeping
house on stylish row, red hot stove,
breakfast frying, girl got married
cooking trying, cheeks all burning,
eyes all red, girl married nearly
dead. Man comes home, tears mus
tashe mad as blazes got no hash,
thinks of hammock in the lane,
wishing maiden back again. Maid
en- also thinks of swing, wants to go
back, too, poor thing. Hour OF mid
night baby squaling, man in sock
foot, bravely walking, baby yells
on, now the other twin strikes up
like his brother. Paregoric by the
bottle, empty into baby's throttle.
Naughty tack points in the air wait
someone's foot to tear. Man IN sock
feet him-there, Holy Moses!
Hear him swear. Raving crazy
gets his gun, blows his head off,
dead and gone. Pretty widow with
a book, in a hammock by the brook.
Man rides past, big mustache, keeps
on reading nasty trash.
A lady teacher was annoyed by
the boys who every time they came
up stairs pulled as though the exer-
ton was to much for them, and she
determined to stop it. So she met
the boys as they came into the room
andthus admonished them: ''See here
boys" she said, you are making al
together too much noise, and here
after when you come into the class
room I want you to leave your putts
and pants down stairs"

Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral. Mr.. Bristow, to the charges OF
SEYMOUR W. Tulloch, former cashier
of the Washington city postotfice, re-

postal admin tration; also reports
nfinspection and investigation OF the

between June 80, 1899. and July 81,
1900. together with the transcript
of the Tulloch charges made some
years ago and the conclusions there,
ON then reached by Postmaster Gen.
eral Charles Emory Smith.
These papers constitute by far the
most significant documents yet made
public as a result OF the sweeping
postal investigation. The reports
show the existence of many irregu-
larities reports that the files OF the
postoiiice cashier show direct orders
from superior authority for the dis
bursement OF all the questionable
items. The inspector urged that
the responsibility for the many lille

Two salaries to one and the same
person and the disbursement ofthou-
sands of dollars for which practically
no service was performed should be
