READY LETTER
WRITER ABOUT
TO QUIT POST
Peck, the Penman, of STRAIT
ford Retires Tonight at
Midnight.

On and after midnight, tonight,
noticeable slump is expected in the
receipts Of the Stratford post office
and the mail carriers will breathe a
sigh of relief. Judge Charles Fl. Peck,
for 20 years judge Of the probate
court, steps into retirement at that
time and Charles H. Welles will sue
coed him.
Mr.. Peck was noted for many
things, but his most prominent pro-
clivity was letter writing. He had
typewriter in his Office and he just
couldn't keep his fingers still.
A citizen of Stratford would get up
in the morning and find letter in his
mail box. It looked innocent enough
but when opened it disclosed a heart
touching epistle from Peck, the Pen
man. leaving it to the citizens Of
Stratford if his policies weren't the
thing. and asking them as man to
man where they could get a better
Office holder.
When interviewed today Mr.. Peck
said he was going to take rest
from letter writing, it is assumed.
II have been in this office for 20
consecutive years and haven't had a
vacation" he said. 1t was the re-
aIization of this remarkable fact that
prompted the voters OF Stratford to
give him indefinite leave of absence
from the office in the last election.

Her Early Revolutions.

This story was told by an English
man who lived century ago. He was
dining out in London and sat by lady
whom he did not know. Their CONVEX
sation turned upon early resolutions
and how very seldom they were kept,
and the lady said: "Well, when I was
a girl made three resolutions-drst,
determined that would never marry a
soldier; second, that I would never
marry an Ir1shman, and, third, that I
would not be long engaged. And all
those three resolutions broke. Whom
do you think did marry? The Duke
Of wellington! He was a soldier and
an Irishman, and was engaged to him
for twelve years. This was Lady
Katherine Pakenham. It was an TN
happy marriage, and the couple mostly
lived apart

not be said that he had made an i'm.

isn't enough, why don't you get an
