than she set them to polishing the tall
andirons that stood upon the hearth.
One morning as they polished the
sides of great brass caldron they
heard pitiful squeaking and, hunting
about among the pots and pans, found
big gray water rat clawing at his
eyes to get out a sharp bit of dust.
They had learned by now how it felt
to be suffering, so we're very sorry for
the rat.
One of the elves went up to him and
said: ooh, Mister Rat, if you will let
me creep into your eyes and sweep it
out with my little broom you will be
quite we'll" The rat was very glad
to have him try, and in a moment the
elf had dug out the sharp bit of dirt
and the rat could see as well as ever.
He was very grateful and asked the
elves what he could do for them. They
told him the story of their trip from
fairyland to the old witch's cottage

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks

All of you little folks who have been
out in the country in the summer time
and seen the water lilies growing in
the ponds and streams have wondered,
know, how so beautiful a flower ever
came to grow in such muddy, dirty
water 1t was all due to the vanity
and discomfort of certain little flower
elves who lived in the lily buds OF
Queen Emereselda's garden, for they
were not busy enough to keep them
out of mischief. One day as the Queen
walked through the garden she heard
them murmuring among themselves.
The Queen was very sorry to think
any of her subjects were unhappy and
discontinued, and walked away think
| ing what she would do to teach them
how well off they were. Just then a
big black bug lit on the lily leaf these
lelves were securing. (which one o.
those beautiful ladies is the Queer
Emereselda?" said he, bowling yer,
low.
ooh, we arc only flower elves" the
, replied; but they were very muc
nattered to think he had taken ther
; for royal elves. He pretended to b
very much astonished that such lovel
elves did not stand high in the cour

pond all the elves gathered around her
to ask who she might be and what
they might do for her, for they did not
forget their manners. She told the
elves that she was Queen of the frogs
and that she had been pleased because
they lived in her pond Come, little
ones, tell me what you would most
like to have me give you," said the
Queen.
"Oh, if your majesty would be so
kind, we would like a lily of our very
own that would grow in this pond for
us to live in. We promise to keep it
very white. Not bug shall touch the
pretty petals, not water creature
nibble at it's stem, so careful will we
guard it." I
The Queen pretended she had never
seen such flower and asked the elves
to show her how one looked. So all
the little elves put their heads to-
! gether to think how they were to
show her, and as they stood so with
their bright golden heads close one
| to another and their slim white wings
J in circle all around, just so she built
for them water lily, with great
golden center and rows of white petals
all around AS the beautiful flower
grew out of the water right before
their eyes they turned to thank the
frog and there stood Queen Emere
selda. They were very much surprised
and just as glad as could be to see the
lovely little lady.

Declares Letters Left at Post
Office are Delivered Sooner
Than Those from Steamers

Postmaster William F. Young is try
ing to get Honolulu people in the
habit OF sending their letters to the
postoffice before the closing of the
mails on steamer day, rather than TAX.
Ing them to the boat and sending them
as ships mail"
Il realize" says Mr. Young, that
there are times when letter has to
be written at the 18th hour, but still
there must be many cases where let
tiers could be put into the office, and
1t is these cases that we are after.
Mr.. Young feels that ii may be a
lack of confidence in the local office
that people have, as they possibly
fear that a letter placed there few
hours before a boat sails will not have
proper attention and thus fail to reach
the boat. He wishes to put people
right on the matter.
Il can assure every person." says
the postmaster, who puts letter into
the office one and a half hours before
a boat sails, that the letter will reach
the boat, and in the proper manner
for quick delivery on the other side
of the water. In fact the letter han
died from the postoffice gets started
on its way several hours before the
ship letter"
A communication received at the To-
cal office from the postal authorities
in San Francisco a few days ago, ex-
plains the comparative handling OF
the two mails. 1t reads in part as fol
lows:
THE Matsonia arrived this morning,
mail reaching the office about 1890
q. m. Mail which came in the locked
pouches from your office was in the
hands of the carriers on their third
trip this morning.
"The Matsonia delivered to us 80
pounds of letter mail which had been
mailed by the merchants of Honolulu
on board the steamer, presumably on
the date of sailing. This mail was
not faced up, and had to be postmark-

POSTMASTER YOUNG WANTSPEOPLE

! ed and run through the hands OF the
distributors in this office before ii
could be delivered by the carriers.
1T was delayed considerably In
reaching the addresses, more than 1t
would have had it been mailed in your
office. and had it been properly treat
ed in Honolulu
Il am mentioning this fact TO you
for the reason that this mail is given
TO the purser aboard the steamers be-
cause the people seem to feel that 1t
will thus be delivered in advance of
mail from the postoffice at Honolulu.
People would probably be interest
ed to know that the quickest service
they would hope to get must be
through your office The distributors
in your office are making UP the mail
for city delivery in good shape"
In commenting on the letter, Frank
T. Sullivan. superintendent OF the
mails at the local office, says that the
delay of three or four hours that mail
finds on the Coast may easily come
to be two or three weeks. especially
il the mail is to be carried consid-
cradle distance further, as to foreign
country The missing of a train or
boat would make a difference of days.
Besides this" says Mr.. Sullivan.
t4the ship letter loses the protection
that it would have in a locked bag.
Every letter that is made up here
for San Francisco is placed face up,
cancelled and sorted out to certain
business house, hotel. or carrier route,
and passes Immediately through the
San Francisco office. Eastern mail
that has been placed loose on ship
board has to be taken through the San
Francisco office, whereas postoffice
mail for the East goes directly to the
trains.
"The same thing" says Mr. Sulli-
van, applies to mail coming into Ho-
nolulu. It is all made up for the diff
ferent firms of Honolulu before it
leaves the Coast, and the system ex-
pedites matters wonderfully. We re-
ceive on each boat about 100 pounds
of letters mailed in the ships bag
The same average holds good in San
Francisco"
