when the Black Shadows began to

Flying Squirrel came out about the

best of friends.
Now, Whitefoot is not much given
to envying others. But as night after
night he watched Timmy the Flying
Squirrel little envy crept into his
heart in spite of all he could do. He
would watch Timmy nimbly climb to

Shadows had crept all through the
Green Forest.
He would peek out of his doorway
and watch for chance visitors in the
daytime. Twice he saw Butcher the
Shrike alight a short distance from
the tree in which Timmy the Flying

had not forgotten that he had chased

MUSICAL PULLMANS

The plan of the Pullman company to place

the progress of the human race. Why the eapa-

utilized before this time is one of the mysteries

Now, with the real gifts of the porters de-

room while hanging entranced upon the strains
of "Swannee River" sung to the accompaniment
of shrielzing brakes and gust of cinders. Music

a wonder, some say, that the Pullman manage
ment never thought of this before.

IMPROVED POSTAL SERVICE

The Postoffice Department has. selected the
week beginning May l for what it has called
Postal Improvement Week." The purpose of
this campaign is to educate the public in the
better preparation of matter for mailing in order
that losses and delays RAY be avoided. There
are two things which all writers of letters should
observe - the accuracy in addressing and the
placing of their own name and address on the
left-hand corner of the envelope. Twenty mil
lion letters go to the dead-letter office each year
because of neglect in this respect.
Postal employees are not infallible, but the sys-
tenn under which the postal service is handled
has reached such degree of efficiency that the
greater percentage of failures to deliver mail or
have it returned to the sender rests upon patrons
of the postoffces. There are so many changes
in the addresses of large percentage of persons
that letters and other mail matter are returned
to the receiving office as undelivered. The
writer who places name and address on the en-
velope package mailed will have it returned
to him, and he will know that the carriers have
been unable to deliver it.
Another thing in which the postoffice depart
ment has been trying to educate the public is in
the matter of early mailing. especially in the
case of concerns which handle many letters dur
ing the day. Last hour rushes to get mail into
the postoffces always results in congestion and
the greater liability of error in handling. The
postoffice department is great business insti-
tuition. in which the public is a partner, and it
is for the people to say how efficient this bust
ness shall become in serving them.
