Dark Mystery at the post Office

Dark Mystery at the pest Office
. Continuation OF great mystery OF
April 1, of thesyear 4, A. D. Promin-
emit member of the house committee
at the Northland club is the victim.
April first broke with a wild howl
Of wind and much snow. Tinkle,
tinkle went the bell; the prominent
member fell heir to a phone call. After
some talk relative to his romantic
tendencies he agreed to meet the fe-
male caller at the postoffice at high
noon
Noon came and he of doubtful In
tentions sauntered forth to the post
office. After waiting there so long
that one gentleman mistook him for
a pillar and tried to lean against him,
he concluded to call off the engage
ment and go back to work. ANY one
having any inside information on this
srnyateay please communicate with the
said prominent member.
Motto: Don't cast your bread upon
the water; it will come back to you
as sponge cake"
