VANISHING TROUSERS.
A Simple Trick Which May or May
Not Be Humorous.

This is n simple trick, and every mar
ricd woman can perform 1t, but 1t re-
uuires the assistance of Il confederate
with Il big bag of shining tinware on
his back.
First get n husband with an extra
pair Of slightly worn trousers in his
wardrobe: then have the confederate,
the man with the bag Of tinware. come
to the back door and knock gently.
The wife must then peep out In n
frightened way. and Immediately the
man with the tinwarc tells n tale that
resembles an advertisement. The wife
stops to think n few minutes. Sudden.
ly she must rush to the wardrobe. but
only after the man rattles the brilliant
tinware to arouse her. The wife must
walk back To the man again with the
trousers. The man must take them
and hand the wife a few tin pans. All
the while the man with the tinware
must smile happily. At last the trans
action is completed, and. presto

The Norfolk and Western Rail

depot compares very favorably with
the old rickety wheel-barrow that
brings the mails from the depot to
the post Office in this city. In fact
some of our readers have suggested
that the wheel-barrow service and
the whole management of the postal
service ~ his point is a disgrace TO
the city and that while the post
master is suggesting to the railroad
he had better prepare to investigate
his own deficiencies. Another citi-
zen has suggested that If our post
master would give a little more at
ention to the post-ofiice and less
time to his partisan newspaper. we
might have better mail conditions
here. We don't know what causes
the deficiencies, but we do know that
there is room for great improve
ment I'm this matter We are not fa-
niliarNwith the inner workings OF
this republican administration, but
we do know that our people would
like 20 have number of improve

guished postmaster and editor talk
the matter over with the proper au-
thorities and see If something can
not be done for a general improve

stand. Mr.. Post master ihat you
