NAL Delivered at churehss.

"That seems a tremendous big
bunch Of mail to be delivered at
church." remarked an early caller to
the sexton.
"A good deal Of it belongs to the
parishioners." he explained, y do not
mean to the regular worshipers, but
to persons who drop in for an occa-
slonal service. They are mostly com
parauve strangers in town. When
leaving home they have no idea what
they viii do or where they win be
located, so in order to relieve the anx-
iety Of their friends they give in
structions TO send their mail to some
church Of which they have heard.
The mere fact that the wanderers
have to call at such q place once OF
twice a week for letters is considered
guaranty Of their safety The
pastors welcome such an arrange
ment It may be an additional re-
sponsibility to take care Of the letters,
but it keeps them in touch with many
strangers who otherwise probably
would not go near a church. IN X

From the Kansas City Star.
A Colorado man, who is visiting in We'll

game warden Of Colorado was walking
out in the mountains the other day when
he met a hunter with his gun. The off,
cial suggested that that ought 10 be a
good country for hunting
1t certainly is said the hunter, proud
ly. I killed one of the finest bucks yes
terday l ever saw. and he weighed over
200. 1t was the season when deer may
not be shot without subjecting the hunter
20 a heavy fine We'll, that is a fine
one, said the warden. and do you know
who you are talking to?" Being assured
that he did not, the official said: why.
1 am the chief game warden of Colorado. -
The hunter was only taken aback for a
moment. when he asked. And do you
know who you are talking to-" The
warden didn't know.
We'll, sir" said the hunter, apparently
much relieved. you are talking TO the
biggest liar in the whole State of Colo

soon thought out plan whereby he
might obtain a little extra money. One
morning he came down to the city hall
and announced that ne would rattle his
rifle Nobody knew Dan had a rife. and
nobody around the hall is sure Of it yet
But Dan assured them that he was the

work Of selling chances. He procured a

slips OF paper. numbered from / to leo.
he sealed them up. These he disposed
of to his friends in the hall They paid
an amount for each chance equal TO the
number in the envelope drawn out of the
bundle. Dan soon mad a poeketful Of
money, and when Christmas morning
came he was there with the real old
loud "Mahry Chris mus. And il came
/ from his heart, too. Several weeks passed
and there was no rattle. People around
the hall who held chances began TO won

To all their queries Dan simply smiled
ana said: 'Des wait. now" Weeks
more passed and still there was no raffie.
Last week a couple OF chance holders
grew impatient and cornered Dan.
Look here. Dan" said one. How
about that rafile?'
Dan put on his happiest smile. "Des

But the deductions made at the end, Of
