A valued member of the post office

postmaster decided he could not get
along without the genial smile of the
missing member he despatched one of
the janitors to his home on Highland
avenue to find out what the difficulty
was. The messenger could not seem
to get any results by pounding on the
door. and before long several neighbors
came to his assistance.
The story soon grew that there was
something serious the matter, and by
that time a good crowd had collected
before the house. and still no results
were obtained from their efforts to gain
entrance. When the post Office en-
