POSTAL'S OFFICIALS
DENY STORY OF STRIKE
Was Reported Boys Went Out for
Higher Suburban Rates-Five
Did Quit.

The superintendent of the messenger
service at the Postal Telegraph Com
pany this morning denied the report
that there was any strike OF the mes
senger boys under him for 5-cent rate
outside of Florida avenue
A rumor was current yesterday that
q large number of the boys had gone
out because the company refused to in
crease their pay for messages delivered
on the other side of the boundary. The
officials OF the company state this morn
ing that the report doubtless originated
from the resignation OF five boys. who
claimed that they could not make
enough money.
THE boys are making from 81 TO
$50 per day." said one of the officials,
(which Is pretty good money for young
sters of their age. / do not know how
the report OF a strike got out. We are
delivering all messages on time this
morning. and have full corps of mes

BristIes Were Not Included.

One Of the ablest lawyers and advo-
Gates New England ever produced was
Roger Minott Sherman, who was also
famous for the quickness of his wit.
A story which fully illustrates Sher-
mans powers Of repartee is quoted by
the late Senator Hoar in his book en-
titled "An Autobiography of Seventy
Years."
On one occasion Sherman was argu-
ing a case against Nathan Smith, a
very able but rather coarse lawyer.
Mr.. Smith had discussed the question
of law with the subtlety for which he
was distinguished. Mr.. Sherman said
to the court that he thought Brother
Smiths metaphysics We're out of place
in that discussion; that he was not
averse to such refinement at proper
time and would be willing on a fit
occasion to chop logic and split hairs
with him.
Smith Immediately pulled hair out
Of his own head and, holding it up,
said:
''Split that"
Sherman replied quick as lightning:

ray bristles."
