"But how do you know who the

I'VE don't. The Chinese come here

foreigners take mail not intended for

The general delivery department
keeps a city directory that's up to

umes. bound with interviewing blank
pages. On these pages all changes Of
addresses are noted. All new arrivals
are placed in the book. Two men are
continually at work keeping the direc-
tory up to date If you have changed
your address it is to your advantage
to send the postoffice a card to that

Paper Came IL Years.
Papers cause us a great deal Of
trouble" said Superintendent Macy.
''They come here by the ton with no
address other than a name and 'Spo-
kane on them. If they are addressed
to people unknown to us. they must
be piled up here and held. When q
paper continues to come and no one
calls for IT we notify the publishers
to discontinue 1t. There was a paper
that for Is years came addressed to
Nellie Mulock. 1t was never called
for. Every postmaster for years tried
to get 1t stopped, but could not. The
matter was referred to the Washing
ton Office. Still the paper came. FL
nally one day it failed to appear We
breathed sigh Of relief.
There are perhaps hundred
pounds of paper come in every day
for people not known.
Another source Of annoyance are
people insisting that there Is a letter
here for them. We had a man come
here some time ago with a telegram.
A valuable letter had been mailed In
Walla Walla three days before. so
the telegram stated. We hunted for
three days for the letter. The whole
postoffice was in an uproar. The in
spectors took a hand. Finally the let
ter came. 1t was postmarked three
days later than the teiegram.
IF a person receives telegram
that a letter has been mailed they
run post haste to our office for the
letter, never thinking that the1etter
has just left the postoffice hundred
miles away"
The postoffice never closes. Night
and day force of men is busy dis
tributing and mailing letters. Some
Of the heaviest mails arrive at night.
They have to be distributed at once
or the machinery of the Office would
be clogged.

MISS MITCHELL
DANCES

The Shirley company at the Audito-
rum theater certainly is much i'm
proved over the company which was
in Spokane last year. The show this
week, "Van the Virginian,' is sim
pie story of war days, but is well
presented and the cast is harmoniousiy
maintained.
The second act is prettily arranged
to give opportunities for several spec
ialties. Miss Make Mitchell made a
hit with her song and dance and was
twice encored. Little Ella Voss, a
pretty child, sang sweetly and Miss
Laura Adams pleased the audience
with her singing for which she was
encored.

The tramways in this country are,
to say the least, internal.
l have, as a rule, confined my vehi-
Gle rides to cabs, but the very general
use of "street cars" as they are called
by the populace, inveigled me into
trying ride, don't you know. At the
same time cabs or hansoms are not
always convenient to hand. So, after
long walk, decided that l would
ride on a street car"

Alton, Oct. 17.-Posses Of citizens
are securing the country for the, stran-
ger who attempted yesterday to alb
duct verna, the 10-year-old daughter
Of Joseph Marsh, a prominent farmer
near here. The little girl was on her
way to her parents home from a
neighbours when she met the strange
man. who carried her to barn some
distance from the road. Although 1t
was in the middle Of the day there
was no one near the scene of the alb.
duction to come to the child's rescue.
Rescued by Chance.
Toward evening a farmer and his
wife by chance saw the stranger in
the barn, and thinking something was
wrong, went to investigate. AS they ap.
preached, the stranger who looked
like tramp, escaped through the
rear door into the woods. The little
girl came screaming to the door and
threw herself into the arms of the far
mer's wife. Her clothes had been
torn to shreds in her struggle with
the f1end. She said that the man tried
to carry her away. The alarm was
given and posses were quickly organ
lied with hounds and started ir
pursuit. II the stranger is captured II
will be difficult to prevent lynching
