that the little members of his COM
pany have been treated.

the large number of nice people are

and the next time you go that way
they seem to have forgotten all about
you.

strange to me that more isn't made of

HUMORS Of POST
OFFICE. BUSINESS

Even the seemingly dry-as-dust
postoff1ce business has it's humors and
some of the enquiries and requests
with which a postmaster is inundated
are of highly amusing nature.
Not long ago lady wrote from a
village in Ohio enclosing a dollar and
asking to be furnished with a set of
the kind of stamps used in the Ha-
waiian Islands. The order was filed
as far as the money would go and
the lady will doubtless be surprised
to receive a set of the same stamp as
she uses in that dear Ohio and which
are SO popular in other parts of the
United States.
Another remarkable communication,
also from a lady, asked the postmas-
ter here for information regarding the
whereabouts of her son who had sailed
from the States bound for Honolulu
in a windjammer. The good woman
trusted that If the postmaster couldn't
read English, someone might be found
somewhere In the islands who could
translate the letter for him.
A great many letter are sent here
from the mainland bearing five cents
stamps, many of them mailed by big
commercial firms who. it would be
thought, would be better acquainted
with Hawaii than to make such an
error of postage.
