The severe spell of weather
through which we have Just eraer-
ged has fallen more heavily upon,
those who daily carry the country
mails than any one else. Uncle
Sam is a very cailons old gentle
men aud does not indulge his
employees 1t matters not if the
bottoms are forced out of the Their
momsters, it matters not how deep
the mud or how hard it sleets, his
mail pouches must go, even if they
are empty. None of the carriers
were more faithful than was Mr..
Wallace Tompkins who daily
covers the rural free delivery
route. He came through the biz
zard all right, with noustacbe
q little frost bitten but not
badly damaged.
