Here s a New Wrinkle
For Mr.. Wallingford.

A bold, bad crook came to Atlanta the
other day. to show the crooks that might
be here the latest things in the light
fingered art. He succeeded.
This artist selected as the ground of
his operation a big mems furnishing es-
tablishment on Peachtree street, where
special sale of suits was i'll progress.
The establishment being prominent, their
wares being true and tried, and their
prices being cheap. the sale was well
patronized, and a number of extra clerks
we're put in service.
The crook entered, stood with his hat
off against the counter, scratching his
head and looking otherwise superior and
aimless in a way that clerks have.
The rush brought in a number of Gus
toners. One hurried man came in, ap-
preached the crook, and asked to be
shown some gray suits. Our friend ac-
quiesced waited on him, received $25 for
suit of clothes that the hurried person
selected wrapped the suit and delivered
it. Then he sauntered away
The little transaction was not regarded
as unusual by the new clerks, until they
began to talk about it TO the regular en-
ployees. Then the story came out

It s An Ungrateful
World, My Masters.
Blow. blow, thou wfntry wind!
Thou art not more unkind
Than mans ingratitude."

Blow, blow, thou wintry wind!
Thou art not more unkind
Than mans ingratitude"
Which is the text of this little sermon.
There lived and worked in Atlanta a
mail clerk, who was a very tender heart
ed man. He loved the little birds and the
chickens, big and little. and the flowers.
He worked in the mike" department,
where he wept at the tragedy of lost let
ters, daily
Day before yesterday there came to his
desk a large package. 1t had been con-
signed to Canada by an Atlanta woman,
who because she was a woman, did not
heed the parcel post regulations, which
restrict parcel post service to the States
alone, and put a parcel post stamp on
the package. 1t would not be admitted
in the mails, naturally. and was sent to
the mike department until the woman
could be notified.
The tender hearted clerk noticed the
package. 1t contained flowers He knew
that they would wither and fade and that
the womans purpose would be spoiled. be-
cause it would take maybe some time for
her to respond to the notice and send the
regulation stamps. Therefore, out of a
kindly impulse. he put the proper stamps
sent it. on. The stamps cost him some
thing more than so cents.
Then he sat down to write the woman
who had sent the package. telling her of
what he had done, advising her to watch
the little things hereafter and implying
the hint that so cents. being the price Of
various and sundry delectable things, are
scarce with mail clerks.
Did she bubble over and thank him?
Not she. With letter full of anger she
wrote Postmaster Mckee that this fresh
young man be fired, Immediately and in
continently. She was a. woman.
But virtue is it's own reward and its
own insurance policy. The young mail
clerk still works today at his desk in
the mike department, and his heart has
lost none of its tenderness through the
blighting influence OF the ungratetul lady's
wrath.
