In the beginning the Elbe, like any

there is none for them. Several mails
come in every day and if one is anx-
iously awaiting a letter he is apt to
call and ask for it half dozen times
between the hour of arising and going
TO bed each day, until the letter fin
ally appears. 1t is but natural, then,
that the average man or woman who
is looking for letter should suffer
half 2 dozen disappointments before
that letter comes-if it ever does.
The greatest trouble of the general
delivery clerk comes from the stupid
ity of the callers at the window.
It's a funny thing" said one OF the
clerks whose words pass out JOY or
woe to number of persons from the
general delivery window at the Rich.
mond post office every day. but half
the people who come to this window
appear to have little or no sense.
while most OF the other half think
We have all sorts of time on our
hands to talk to them. or rather to
listen to what they have to say.
If you were to stand here half an
hour you would notice that nine call.
ers out of every ten ask us. after we
have told them there is no letter for
them, If we won't look again and be
sure. They have seen us go to the
box marked with the initial letter OF
their name and look over every piece
Of mail it contains, yet invariably
they say,
Are you sure there is nothing?
THE other kind want to tell you all
, about the letter they are expecting
Some old lady is, looking for one from
her daughter She is on visit to the
city and her daughters baby was just
about to cut tooth when she left the
farm, and She is anxious to know
about it, The letter hasn't come and
we have the hardest kind of time
choking her off from telling us all
about the whole family connection.
| The fun comes when some foolish
girl wanders up in search of tender
epistle. She is usually about sixteen
or seventeen years old.
To get a letter at the general deliv
ious about it. She is fooling some
body. 1t is really only herself. but she
likes even that. and whenever she APP
pears at the general delivery window
she bushes and giggles and gives her
self away in various ways. On the
surface she is amusing, but to the ex
perienced eye she is far more pitifu
than funny.
The letters she gets are usually
from somebody she has met in a clan
destine fashion. That kind of a mar
suggests the general delivery fire.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-04-04

Quently, because he is saving his own
skin. The breed always thinks of a
possible brother or father who may
upset his plans with a stick or gun.
When she gets her letter-and she
is one of those who usually get letters
at the general delivery office every
time they call-she bushes a little
more, sticks it in her muff and goes
away to read it elsewhere.
Other feminine fools there are. too
who patronize the general delivery
better. but who are glad to receive
masculine attention at almost any
cost They, also, give themselves
away and are far too silly to be in
ts1sStiRg.
Regular pstrens Of The general de
livery are the unfortunate women OF
the town, whose last vestige of re
speciality is evidenced by their de
sire that their home folks SHOULD
know nothing of what they are doing
If they gave their families their rea
addresses some one. familiar with the
location of the different sections OF
Richmond, might give them away. Sc
they have their mail sent to the gen
eral delivery.
The busiest days for the general de
livery clerk come during hard times
When men get ont of work the tide
Of letters at the special delivery in
creases. Regular addresses grow t.
be luxuries and remittances from
home are eagerly looked for.
AS for crooks, they consider tnt
general delivery a good asset, bu
somewhat risky. If crook comes tt
Richmond and the police of Other
cities tip the Richmond police of
! about him he has to be careful abou
= going to the general delivery window
II he has an accomplice or an acquain
lance here he sends him. II he goe:
himself he stands fair chance of be
ing arrested.
Frequently professional crook will
drop off in Richmond just to see how
things are going. AS soon as he get'
here the Richmond police hear abou
him, and as soon as they locate hin
| they tell him to move on. If there Il
any evidence that he Is working
they arrest him. II not, they quietl!
warn him to pick some other city a

to the railroad station and tell hin
to beat it. The general delivery win
