transferred.
The brothers Atwood had curious ideas

employment Of capitai--idels which would
commend themselves to no self-respectin q
economist. When the elder brother died
there was n hunt for the money which it wac

STORIES OF THE LATE
POSTMASTER VAN COLT

The late Post master Cornelius Van Co; I
belonged TO the old school Of politicians,
He was not a college man. He had been
a printer and wagon builder in his ime.
but his best work was done in the field OF
politics.
He spoke the speech Of the people. A
number OF his colleagues were men of
education. lawyers for the most part. and
yet they trusted his judgment in spite Of
his lack Of any such equipment as they pos
sessed. There was something In the man
that made him succeed In spite of any
shortcomings in book learning.
His district, the Fifth, he always referred
to as his Sunday school class. -Ivc been
down talking to the boys at the Sunday
school class he would say at his office
in the Federal Building of morning, and
the way they're getting 10 understand the
parallels is something fine" That was
the nearest that he liked to come to talking
politics in everyday life.
Nobody who knew him failed to not ice
his peculiar handshake. For a politician
he had about the worst handshake i'm
aginabe His assistants at the Post Office
have said again and again that if It were
not for his peculiar graspless handshake
States And yet he triumphed over this
defect by his geniality.
To his son Dick he was All affect ionate
father He had theory that the reason
the Fifth always delivered the goods was
that the voters admired Dick so. Last
Decoration Day, when over a thousand
members of the Lincoln Club arranged an
outing and gave the Postmaster an oval ion,
he said:
"Oh, they're doing all this for Dick, you
know"
Some people even say that he made
present Of his entire salary as Pos, mast er,
IS 900 year. to Dick.
To interview Mr.. Van Colt on any sub
jeot that he did not care 10 speak about
was a difficult task. He never would de-
cline fatty to answer q question. When
one asked him, for instance, what such
and such commission had communicated
to him. or what was the result of some in
vestigation in the Post Office, he would
smile and say:
when / was in the Fire Depart cnt
there was man there named Tom Hayes,
and so good-by O the subject in hand
1t was frequently his duty as Postmaster
to sit in judgment upon delinquent postal
clerks and letter carriers. In his judg-
ments he was inclined to mercy.
Young man, have you a mother OF a
wife?" he would ask the delinquent. II
the answer was in the Affirmative, he would
say: well, what makes you leopard their
bread by carelessness and neglect Of duty?"
Before he had done with him the delin-
quent would be penitent and promise to go
home and lead better life and attend to his
duties more regularly. Then Mr.. Van
Colt would turn to Tom Gocderson. his
secretary. and say with a twinkle In his
eye:
Now, surprising it had been you, Tom?
How would you like to get suspended or
removed with a family depending on
your"
And Tom would say that the Postmaster
was a softy and the Postmaster would punch
Tom in the ribs and that was all there was
to it.

but he was invalded home.
