Denver.-A wooden postcard nearly
two feet long and more than half
foot wide and highly decorated Gith
instructions to newly married couples
was handed to e. c. Bennett, clerk at
the Kaiserhofr hotel, by the letter car
r1er when making his usual mail de-
livery.
1t was addressed to Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy d. Lee Of Pueblo, who were here
on their honeymoon. The couple had
departed. however, before the card ar
rived. Clerk Bennett tried to put It in
the mall box and 1t wouldn't go. Then
he hung It up over his desk. That
caused 80 many people to make use
less remarks that he showed 1t under
the counter.
Then some one told him he was in
terfering withthe United States malls,
SO he took 1t out again and handed 1t
to the telephone operator, who wrote
another address on 1t and forwarded
1t after the happy couple.
One motto said: May all the
troubles be little ones" Another said:
BE good to one another" Another
card asked the clerk, in the event he
could not deliver the postcard, to re-
turn to the couple addressed at Rose
lawn cemetery, Pueblo, Colo, as that
would undoubtedly be their stopping
place in the end.
The card had thirty-four stamps on
1t and numerous pictures of hearts,
cupids and other designs which con-
veyed the impression that the parties
addressed were In blissful state of
mind.
