Posting the Map.

A firm OF map publishers had en-
gagged n resident surveyor TO furnish
them an outline drawing OF n new
county that had been organized In the
Far Southwest. with the principal
watercourses. lines Of projected rail-
ways. II there were any. location OF
the postofliccs. and other points OF
interest. and he had promised TO ac-
quaint them with any changes that
might take place from time to time az

There came an exceedingly hot and
dry summer. during which one OF the
streams utterly dried up. There
upon the surveyor wrote them the fol
lowing letter:

changes, Typographical or otherwise.

comes my duty to inform you that

the top OF the tree in direct line.
In order to do this 1t may be neces-

When the proper point is found, as
indicated In the figure. the surveyor
will see that he has furnished himself

That many riders met this fateful
