Expressmen About Ready To
 Take To Heels

Baby buggies are common ar ticles handled by the express company and bachelor expressmen see far more of them than regular fathers, but this particular carriage was out of the or dinary.
 When the carriage arrived in the f. flee, the address was not easily To- cated, so it was turned bottom up to see if the owners name could be found. With this action came the cry of Mama, Mama, Mama" And then the entire office force stood at attention and looked at the carriage.
 The discovery was made that shipped in the buggy was a talking doll.
