MI. Wards Rent Late.

Mr.. Wards rooms are directly over the
real estate office of the addressee. AS Il
rule he usually carries the check for his
rent downstairs in person and delivers it
to the cashier in the office of F. II. Smith
& Co

Fourth which he was taking home to the
youngsters, in an evil moment he i'll
closed the check in an envelope plainly
addressed and stamped and deposited it
in the chute which empties mail in a box
In the hallway to the rear of the Smith
offices, thinking, OF course, in due time it
would be taken to the city post office and
returned for delivery by the carrier and
all for the small cost of two cents.
Mr.. Ward says he is sorry now he did it.
So, too is Mr.. Latimer of the firm of +.
H. Smith & Co. Mr. Ward is sorry be-
cause he says he came near losing his rep
utation as a good tenant who promptly
pays his rent. Mr. Latimer is sorry be-
cause he actually had to dun Mr.. Ward
for it for the first time in his tenancy that
extends over many months.
Just as Mr.. Ward, after the demand was
made for the rent which he felt he had
already paid, was about to phone the
American Exchange Bank to stop pay
ment on the lost check, the letter carrier
on the route walked in with a cheerful
smile and laid the letter on Mr.. Latimer' 5
desk.

which read as follows:

Respectfully returned to postmaster,

that the inclosed letter was received in a
circular letter from your office. addressed
to this office. Very respectfully.
SLOAN SIMPSON, PM,
Ward superintendent
Postmaster Barnes stated yesterday
that he had not received any complaint
in the case and did not know any of the
facts. but would Immediately investigate
to find the cause of the miscarriage and
delay 1t was not improbable, he said,
that in assembling the mail the letter had
slipped into the envelope covering a cir
cular, as it might easily do when the
flap, as is customary with circular en-
velopes, was turned inside the envelope
to prevent the circular from falling out.
A report of the result of the investiga-
ton had not been made at closing time
last night.
1t was suggested by man familiar with
post office matters that if the letter mail
were kept separate from the circular mail
as it should be, the accident suggested
by Mr.. Barnes could not have happened.
While, said this man, there might be
some excuse for the letter getting into a
circular envelope inadvertently mailed by
some one in the ordinary letter mail drop.
there is no excuse for its getting into a
circular letter from the postmaster's of
flee. as reported by the postmaster at Dali
las, because official mail. it is believed. is
not permitted to be deposited in ordinary
mail drops.

to proceed to New York and Boston to

1t was suggested to Judge Parker that

very narrow margin of only four votes

twenty-five years ago there were
1000 miles OF railroad In Canada. To-
day there are $4,000. with three trans
continental lines. The total trade of
this part of the british empire has
grown from s34.oOO,OOO, in 1851, to
$3.50, 000. 900 at present. and the great
impulse has come In very recent years.
Manitoba raised 47.O0O,s- bushels OF

amounted TO s7,5oo.o00 bushels. While

Love.

Love is the only bow on LIES dark
cloud 1t is the morning and evening
star. II shines on the babe, and
sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb.
II is the mother of art; inspirer Of
poet. patriot and philosopher. Il is
the air and light Of every heart; build
er of every home; kinder Of every
fire on the hearth; it was the first
dress Of Immortality. 1t fills the world
with melody. for music is the voice Of
love. Love is the magician. the en-
chanter that changes worthless things
to JOY, and makes right royal queens
and kings Of common clay Il is the
perfume of that wonderful flower, the
heart, and without that sacred pas
sion, that divine swoon, we are less
than beasts; but with it-sarth is
heaven and we are gods-Robert G.
