One Romance of Uncle Ssms Dead
Letter Office.
Something like 2.On0,00O letters an
nually fail Of delivery in the United
States owing to insufficient postage or
Incorrect addresses. The dead letter
office at Washington employs large
force Of clerks to handle these. The
packages that have been received Mt
the dead letter office have contained
false teeth, glass eyes, brass keys and
thousands Of other things that one
would never expect to find in the
mails.
1t would be interesting to know how
many engagements have been broken
how many friends have been estrang-
ed, how many fond hearts have not
been reunited, how many deals have
fallen through. how much money has
been lost and how many quarrels have
been prevented by letters that never
came.
A pretty romance was revealed at
the dead letter Office the other day
when young woman called there to
see If Il wrongfully addressed letter
had been received. 1t had, and she
was greatly relieved. 81 heard that
Jack was untrue" she said, land

The day after l wrote found out that
was wrong. My heart was almost
broken, but Jack kept right on coming
to see me and never mentioned the let
ter. I began to think l must have
misdirected it and find that l did. 1t
must have been fate. Now he will
never knOw."-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
