A Letter from Jack.
TR. CHARLES C. HART, Crest

M Hill, Ca:
My Dear Mr.. Fart-The
morning mail brought me a letter
from Mary lnclosing the one from you
in which you object to me for SON
in-law.
You have that right, and ! should
be the last to fail to respect it; but,
as 1t is a question that involves the
lifelong happiness Of two, I can not
let your objections pass lightly. 1 am
willing to consider your point of view.
You must consider mine.
If l were to tell you WHO I am
a point which seems to cause you
much anXiety-it would not tell
WHAT l am, which is more impor-
tant.
AS for the WHO: l am a graduate
of the University, which l know, from
your outlook on life, is not much in
my favor. You never went to college;
you achieved success with a common
school education, and. like many men
of your kind. have a contempt for the
rah-rah quality of finish the college
gives.
That I was graduated with honors,
therefore, Is not in my favor, for
overshadowing that so-called dis
tinction is your prejudice against a
man who let's his father pay his bills
and keep him in school at an age
when you, by your own efforts, had
laid the foundation of your fortune.
To have had a wealthy father was
my misfortune. Even you, who so
highly esteem self effort, can not
blame me for that. 1t was also my
fathers money that started me in
business out here in California but
wish to add that in the ten years
have been at it I have paid back
every cent he advanced, and now
have an income that should make me
eligible as a husband, if income We're
the only point to consider.
His Father.
I could pointsto the long and hon
orable record Of my father in this
State, but as good men proverbially
have worthless sons, that would not
help. l could tell you that my mother
was an earnest, God fearing woman,
and that l was the greatest joy life
held for her in her declining years,
but mothers have a way of finding a
blessing in children whom outsiders
would regard as curse, so her las
letters to me, her last words, would
not relieve the situation,
You say that Mary does not know
what my standing is in this town
I have been Mayor but the Office Of
Mayor is often purchasable; my name
is good at the banks here for any
sum; so is the name of the town 5
biggest gambler l am a member 0t
the Episcopal Church, and give lib
orally, but that i sinners popular
whitewash, and claim no credit for
It.
Regarding my private life: / have
done my share of blazing a trail on
the Primrose Path. Indeed, to speak
frankly, there was a time when
worked overtime. l can not claim to
have reached the age of 80 and have
remained virtuous. Would you be-
lieve me If l made such a claim?
But l say this to my credit when
all is counted against me: | never
started any woman wrong and God
helping me, never will. And I have

Rudolph Was Wise.

A man who was regular patron OF
a certain restaurant said to the waiter:
Rudolph. instead OF tipping you every
day I'm going to give you your tip in a
lump sum next Christmas"
Thank you, sir" answered Rudolph:
"but-er-would you mind paying me
something in advance, sir?"
m. It's funny request" said the
patron, but here-here's IS for you
What's the matter; do you need the
money or don't you trust my memory
"Oh, no. SIR" smiled Rudolph, pocket
ing the tip, 1T isn't that; only I'm
leaving here to-day, sir"

BUSINESS SHOWS INCREASE.
Parcel Post Service Shows Greater
Popularity Here

II the parcel post business of the
Calumet postoftice continues to in
crease as rapidly as it has during the
two weeks since the service was es-
tablished, IL will not be long before one
substitute carrier will be unable to at
tend To the delivery of the parcels.
Even now the work has grown so
heavy that some extra provision may
be necessary.
Since January l. when the parcel
post stamps were sold for the first
time there have been almost twice as
many parcels handled each day as on
the previous day and it would seem
the service is increasing greatly in
popularity. In view Of this situation
the Calumet postmaster likely will
find u difficult to prepare proper esti-
mates of the amount of money requir-
ed to meet the extra expense of the
parcel post delivery service for the re-
mainder of the present fiscal year and
for the next fiscal year. as he is re
quired TO do on Jan. 10.
