If any one is living who feasted off that
little dog on Belle Island in 1863. i
wish to tell him that L caught and
killed that dog, and never ate, and
never will eat, piece of meat that
tasted as good as it did. Comrade Vim
son made a mistake about the time,
something we are liable to do after so
many years. That officer did not come
in the evening; he knew his life would
not have been safe in that desperate,
starving crowd. He would have dis
appeared like the dog, but hardly have
been made meal of for L don't be-
lieve he would have tasted as good.

THE POSTMASTERS.
Continued from page -

two of them are good Rabbit chasers
If any one mead a good-dog. now Is
your time to by a good-dog and very
cheap, do not delay"
The average woman buyer at the
stamp window will take the chrome
gently by one corner and alternate it
from hand to hand, making four strokes
of the tongue to complete the SEEM
ingly difficult task of making it ready
to adhere with firmness and fidelity TO
her precious letter. One Postmaster
thinks the dear creatures do this to
avoid wear and tear on the talking ap-
paratus. that it may be preserved Tor
future domestic use.
A Modest Request.
A handsome young lady came into
an office, walked up to the delivery win
dow, pushed a letter through with two
pennies on it, and remarked, you
stick the stamps on this letter. Stamps
don't taste good to me-"
Some people are infrequent patrons
of the mail service, even IN this ad-
vanced age. 1t is told in Indiana that
2 young man grew to manhood in
"Hooppole Township" and celebrated
his 21st birthday by going to town to
get the mail, distance of eight miles,
for the first time in his life. Upon his
return he was telling his mother of the
many wonderful things he had seen on
the great journey over to Posey. and
he wound up the narrative with the
declaration, "I'l tell you what's the
matter, Ma, If this earth is as big in
every direction as it is over toward
Posey, my, but shes a whopper."
A California Postmaster tells this:
Not long ago a party called at this Of
flee for a letter which had not yet ar
rived, and when so informed, he put on
grieved expression and said, cant
you telephone to the Postmaster in Los
Angeles and find out IL it has left there
yet?' As Los Angeles is a city of about
200, 900 inhabitants, / told him the
Postmaster was probably pretty busy,
so he had better wait little longer"
These incidents show that some ru-
raj Postmasters are in the market for
trouble. both subjectively and objec-
lively, as the college sophomore would
say.
A remedy, which would provide in
telligent, patient and competent POST
masters, and at the same time educate
the public to the point of duly appre-
ciating and decently treating them,
would indeed be a notable victory for
genuine postal reform.
