that he is still a mere boy" was

not TO have TO go out into all kinds
Of weather, good or bad; but there's

To serve Uncle Sam and the citi-
zens of South Bend for a quarter of
a century or more is mo mean rec.
ord" but this IS what has been &C
complished by six mail carriers OF
the local postohice, six honest-tO-
goodness. dependable men who take
just as "a matter OF course the serv-
ice they have rendered
twenty-five years. and more. from
the time when 10 men were sufi-
cient to deliver the mail of the city,
until today, when 46 regular car
riers are employed to do an ordi-
nary days business, rain, snow and
sunshine, they were on the job.
Who can tell of the happiness or
sorrow they have unknowingly
brought as they slipped countless
white envelopes into mail boxes or
into the hands waiting eagerly to
receive them. Messages from friends
in far-Off countries, business offers,
unknown sums Of money, holiday
greetings, tons Of gifts, newsy let
ters from the home folks"-all de-
livered as faithfully and regularly
as the bills which appear promptly
the first OF each month.
Deliver Love Notes.
How many rOmances have been
conducted to a happy and satisfy
ing conclusion by the interchange
OF letters collected and delivered by
these postal employees? Perhaps
they have unwittingly brought let
ters from stern young ladies an
nouncing that they were through
for ever" They may have helped
patch up such difficulties by deliv-
ering a conciliatOry note OF apology
or have broken heart by bringing
