PEACEMAKERS ARE P0STOFFICE CLERKS;
MEET every VARIETY OF CROUCH KNOWN

The original peace pipe men are the
general delivery and stamp window at
taches in United States postoffices,
according to Miss Josephine Fleming
and Earnest McLain, of the Richmond
10y and trouble station" as they call
1t. Nowhere do people naturally and
without hesitation, expect remarkable,
telepathic and impossible things and
expect them spontaneously. as do the
patrons of "the slam and sling" win
dow Of the postoffile.
And yet the window clerk must keep
saying to him or herself there are
smiles that" and then choose one at
random and use It all day long. on
despeptics, mutes, travelling statesmen,
and Cinnamon.
But let me say that the Cinnamon
are about as easy to take care of as
anybody we have" said Miss Fleming,
Saturday. "Chinamen always have
their mail well addressed, with street
and number, as we'll as name, unless
1t Is general delivery, and 1t is legible."
1t Is the American, who has been writ
ing English as long as he has written
anything, who causes the most legibil-
1ty trouble. Once in a while a letter
comes in written in German, Persian,
or other hieroglyphics.
Clerks Mind-Readers.
The person who sings down a coin
and looks disinterested, especially
about what he wants, is the man who
has to be handled with silk gloves, &C
cording to McLain. A great many
people have utter faith in the mind
reading ability of the clerk, he says.
They know that when they put down
quarter, the clerks knows they want
ten twos and five cents in change
The man who knows that a letter
was mailed to him from Dayton, O.,
on the 8:45 train last night" is also
a problem. The letter was to be sent
general delivery, and it hasn't arrived.
Maybe the clerk has eloped with it,
the man suggests, when told the let
ter Is not on hand.
That letter simply has to be there,
because the would-be owner got a
telephone call saying that it was being
sent. Never is he convinced OF his
mistake-and then he seldom owns
up to it-until his letter comes along
a day or so later bearing a very con-
yincing postmark.
mo actual tears have ever been
wept before me here" said McLain,"
but from appearances I've had the
life OF many a country, and the des-
tiny Of nations of people, in these
pigeon holes at times"
"Names are Awful"
Hungarians and Italians have to
look through the list and choose their
names, or else write down their names
beforehand, while the clerk perspires
and compares envelopes and name
Some Of those names are awful"
said Miss Fleming and McLain In uni
son, and then they hauled out a few
which proved their truth. With the
announcement Thursday that letters
can again be sent to Germany a mum

After the marriage you'd just lay it
away in a box and Icry over 1t and

There's another thing while we're
