ONE OF SAVANNAHS FIRST
SIX MAIL CARRIERS
Joe Boughes CoTored, Serves the Section in His
First Beat in 1873

or the six carriers who constituted
the free delivery force when the sys-
tenn was inaugurated in Savannah in
1873. only two remain in the service.
One of these is Joe Bouges, COL
ored, who has been carrying the mail
in the same territory where he is now
employed for thirty-one years. At the,
time of his first trip his territory was
considerably larger than at present,
though 1t included the rounds in which
he still delivers mail.
AS originally laid out in 1878 his
round was all the territory east of
Habersham, and bounded on the north
by the river and on the south by Cor
don street. AS the city grew and the
number Of carriers increased, the terri
tory to be covered was gradually d.
minished, until now It embraces the
section of the city east of East Broad,
street and between the river and LIB
erty street.

given Bouges, only one yet gets his
mail by the same carrier. Mr.. John
Rourke and his foundry has been a
fixture in that district more than the
thirty-one years since free delivery
was instituted, and is the one land
mark which has remained through the
years.
The territory served by Bouges is at
present tenanted largely by negroes
and 1t is the opinion OF the Postoffice
Department that no one could so sue
cessfully handle the mail for that Sec
ton as can Bouges. Many white peo-
pie who were living in that part of the
town thirty-one years ago have remov-
ed to other sections, or have died or
left the city.
Occasionally Bouges receives a let
ter addressed to a street and number
from which the occupant named has
been gone for perhaps a quarter of a
century In some instances they are
still living in the city and the letter
is delivered to them, while in other
instances the dead letter office Is the

THE NEW BABY.s GIFTS.

Thomas Jefferson Burbank's father
had promised him pony. Thomas
Jefferson had set his heart on that
pony. But a new baby arrived in the
household and put the promise out of
the head of the elder Burbank.
When they showed the new baby to
Thomas Jefferson, and the nurse said.
See what beautiful little brother
has been brought to you," he looked
doubtfully at the crying newcomer and
replied: "Y-e-e-s, but I'd rather have
pony"
At this all the family, and especially
the nurse, were shocked, and Thomas
Jefferson fled in disgrace to the piazza,
where he sat and thought hard for
about half an hour.
At the end of that time he took his
little iron bank and sought his father.
who was strutting up and down the
drawing room like an oh-be-ioyful
man, and said:
Maybe there will be just as much
fun in having a baby brother as a
pony. Anyway, here's my bank for
him. There's dollar and thirty-three
cents in it," Then. blushing at his
own generosity, he fled down the path
leading to the shore, where he plaved
ter and out again, unmolested and I'M
scolded, and had a real good time.
When he woke up next morning he
saw on his bureau the cutests little
iron bank imaginable. Coin clinked
inside Of it when he shook it, and at
tached to it was card bearing the
inscription, "A present from baby"
MY" said Thomas Jefferson TO
himself that kid returns presents
pretty promptly. guess pa had a
hand in this, but I'm much Obliged TO
the kid all the same"
After breakfast, as he descended the
steps of the piazza, he saw a pony.
all saddled and bridled, standing ready
to be ridden; and attached to the
bridal rein was another card. also
reading, "A present from baby" with
a whoop Thomas Jefferson scrambled
on the pony's back and was off down
the avenue.
But that night. after deep thought,
he said to his father: PA, I guess
the baby better not give me any more
presents just now. You see, I've only
got my boat to give him IN return,
and ! guess ia better keep that until
he gets little bigger"

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS TO
HONOR THEIR PATRONS MEMORY
Will Celebrate 812th Anniversary Of Americas
Discovery

Savannah Council, No 631, knights
of Columbus, will celebrate with an
appropriate programme on Thursday
night, the S12th anniversary of the
discovery of America by Columbus.
The anniversary will be observed by
more than 100000 knights Of Columbus
in S67 cities of the United States and
Canada.
The Savannah council is the largest
in Georgia, and the celebration will be
an elaborate one. The address of the
evening will be delivered by Mr.. P. J..
O'Connor. Amateur talent taken from
the membership of the local council
will render tableux and minstrel per-

In the performances.
At the close of the literary pro-
gramme there will be dancing, followed
by the serving of refreshments. Music
will be furnished by Rosenfeld's Or

district in lie city which is more diff
ficult to serve than that carried by
Bouges. Even with the advantages,
which his color and long acquaintance
with that part of the city give him, he
often meets perplexing difficulties.
One of the ideas of the colored peo-
pie in Bouges' territory, as elsewhere
in the city no doubt. is that any mail
addressed to a given street and num-
Der belongs to the present occupants,
regardless of the name. This idea is
sternly opposed by the carrier, who
insists on the point that the name
counts for more than a mere street
and number.
From long years of experience
Bouges has become an expert in the
matter of the penmanship of colored
people. In fact he almost becomes a
mind reader. For instance, he often
looks more to the postmark on the let
ter than to the address. He knows
where many of his patrons came from,
and If the name bears even a faint
resemblance to some one he knows who
came, say from Beaufort. he is able
to reach the person for whom 1t was
intended, while q carrier skilled in for
eign languages might return the let
ter as impossible to be delivered. Such
little abbreviations as "Wshton" and
Washington and Jackson.
Negroes Secrctive.
Another difficulty which is met with
by every carrier in territory inhabited
by negroes is TO find where emigrants
move. The negroes instinctively pro-
tect each other, even when they do not
know there is any special reason for
doing so.
mo, sir. doesn't knows whar dey's
gone. Not dis chill Maybe, doe,
they's gone and moved to Yam'craw,"
is a common answer for Bouges in
his rounds. He has informed his pa
irons many times that he is not al
lowed to tell the instalment furniture
collector where his goods have gone.
'Hain't I seed you taking wild him?"
they say.
Later one of the negroes relents and
while still protesting that the recent
occupant OF the house or room has
passed entirely out OF her life, says,
SHE done toll me 70 keep her letters
fur her" The carrier IL wise and

20, is a tedious one, and one where
a swifter carrier would get over the
ground more speedily, perhaps, but
would fall far short of the record made
by the old carrier. Ninety per cent.
Of the letters for the district of No. 20
are addressed with led pencil in un-
certain characters.
For more than thirty years Bouges
has carried in the same territory, and
in all probability he will remain where
he is as long as the department finds
that he can make his three rounds per
day, even though his pack is light and
Uncle Sam gets comparatively little
cash from his patrons.

JAPANESE DID NOT GET
HULL AND SWEDISH SHIPS

London, Oct. 28.-Baron Hayashf,
Japanese minister to Great Britain,
Was asked last night by the Associated
Press for his side of the statement
from Copenhagen that the Danish min
istry of marine was informed recently
that several ships were chartered at
Hull by the Japanese government to
attack the Russian Baltic squadron,
and that 10 Swedish vessels had also
been chartered by Japan for the same
purpose. Baron Hayashi said that no
ship. had been chartered by his gov,
eminent from Hull or elsewhere to de-
stroy the Baltic squadron. The char
tering and arming .13 ships. he said,
would be impossible in, these waters.
1t would have been necessary to ..ian
them with Japanese and there are not
enough Japanese here. He said the
whole story must have been concocted
in order to throw dust in the eyes of
the Danish minister Of marine and of
the world.
