that had been removed during the

There's another postoffce matter

moment. 1T. B. E." writes TO me:
"An acquaintance Of mine, who Is
q clerk in the Washington Postofhce
and who works seven days a week

laid off a number Of hands lately.
'I read in the papers, too, that
there are returned soldiers who have
no jobs.
evil you tell Us, coniidentially,
the trle inwardness of all these
facts?"
/ laid this matter before Postmas-
ter Chance, and this is his answer:
"T. B. E. states that an aeGuaint-
ance Of mine tells me that a number
of women were laid off in the post
office. This is true. The temporary
force in the City Postoffce is being
reduced to make places for the re-

LETTERS FROM OUR
SOLDIER BOYS

FRANK owen kDodtleJ, VI IIHS city,
who is in the U. S. Navy, writes the
following interesting letter regarding
a recent visit he made to London, Eng.
A. E. F., Jan. 4th, 1871 just re-
turned yesterday from my leave to
London, and believe me l certainly had
some trip. I sure enjoyed every min
ute of it too.
London is not as pretty a city as
Paris, but there are a lot of pretty
places there thought at that. We
were taken on a tour of the city by
Y. M. C. A. men, and it was ure IN
interesting trip around through tine
old city.
We started on our tour at nine thir-
ty, and the first place that we were in
was Westminster Abby, and it is a
grand sight to go through there and
see the tombs of the old kings and
queens of old England. Across from
Westminster Abby stands the House
of Parliament, which is one of the
most beautiful buildings that l have
ever seen, and it is an enormous
building too. Then we drove through
some of the most important streets
and then by Buckingham Palace, the
home of the King and Queen of Eng
land now and that is certainly a beau
tiful place too. After that was over
we then went to dinner. After dinner
we started out again, this time W
went in another direction over some
of the pricipal streets and then to the
old Tower of London. There we saw
all the old implements of warfare
which is quite different from what we
use today. was also in Bloody Tower
where there were many people killed.
Then we went to a tower where all
the crowned jewels are kept and that
was some sight to look at too. Think
of looking into a glass case at about
$40, 900, 900 worth of gold and jewels
such as diamonds, saphires, rubys,
etc. Gee, your eyes hurt for an hour
after you leave there. We returned
to the hotel at 5 o'clock, and that
night l went to the Palace Theatre to
see Else Janus in "Hullo America"
and believe me that was some show.
1t was similar to the Follies. Nearly
all the cast being English but Miss
Janus and a part of the chorus, they
were Americans. d.
The next morning we went out to
Madam Tuessoug's Wax Gallery.
That is some thing that is worth see
ing. There are wax images of all the
noted people of the world. They are
lifesize and so perfect that if you
are not real careful you will find your
self talking to some of them. You
can't look through the hall and tell the
wax figures from the real humans that
are in there.
l went to the "Y" dance New Years
Eve and / enjoyed it very much a
the girls wont dance AWAY but the
American style of dances but the music
is very old. 1t is good dance music,
but OH???. Here is some of it:
cover There, care You From Dixie"
missouri Waltz" and such as that
which is all the hits over here now.
Wish that l could have been home for
New Years Day. Well anyway l wish
you a Happy, Happy New Year and
lots of them.
l will have to close and blow Taps.
With Lots of Love to YOU and the
Folks and write me when you can.
Yours Forever,
