 Rang for Police "Wagon.'' "I guess I'm a wheat alright" said a prominent politician and manufac- turer this morning in telling of an amusing incident with which he was connected while in New York a few days ago on business.
 He had occasion to mail a letter while on the street in the uptown section and finding none of Uncle Sam's letter receptacles in sight he hailed a boy for information. At the time he was at the corner of lOSth street. "Go up two blocks boss, and at the corner you'll find a mail box the youngster said.
 Following instructions he proceeded to 10th street. He found a box at tached to one of the poles and while its appearance was somewhat differ ent from the mail boxes in use here he thought it was a special Gotham creation and started looking for the aperture in which to drop his letter. An innocent looking button on the side he believed might reveal the opening if properly manipulated so he pressed it. Nothing happened so he tried it again.
 He looked around finally for some one who might give him information. He spied two policemen standing a snort OlSlduC6 away. bOln were laughing heartily. "What'S the mat ter with this thing anyway" the Plainville visitor asked. "Nothing," one of the bluecoats replied. That's no mail box, that's the police box. 1 You've just rlrng for the wagon. Guess you better be moving or the driver may take you back to headquarters as a passenger"
 "T sneaked, you bet" the local man | said in telling his experience today. 1 NO more monkeying with them new ! fangled contraptions for me"
