The Word Post.

Many persons wonder how we got
the word post" as applied to the
mails. 1t comes from the Latin
positus, which means placed; there
fore 1t Is a fixed station. From this
1t came to mean an established con-
veyance of letters from one station to
another, and the place from which
the letters were sent out came to be
called the postoffice. "Post-haste," a
word used by Shakespeare, means
speed in travelling. like that of post
