The efficiency of Uncle Sam's postal
service has been tested in an amusing,
yet practical, way by Henry P. Butler, a
lawyer at No. 120 Broadway, says the
New York Press. Butler's wife and lit
tle daughter, the latter affectionately
called ' Karine," have been spending the
summer at the Lodore Hotel, Asbury
Park. In a spirit of faoetiousness Mr. But
1er wrote the child a letter a few days

The letter was mailed at the New York
post office and reached its destination as
quickly as if the address had been more
explicit. When the letter carrier called
he was soon told who "Karine" was, to
the delight of tlie child. Mr. Butler has
written postmaster Van Cott, compli

and sent tbe envelope to be placed in the

standing before it.
The (man started to climb into the
room, but as lie got half way in Mr, Reed
railed to him and asked what his husi

answer the question, but leaped to the
ground and ran away as if several
ghosts were at his heels. Tim policeman
on that beat was notified, hut as Mi

A Funeral lu Chill.
In this queer country there is a funny
side even to funerals. The other day a
found of music attracted me to the win
dow. and what do you think I saw? A
mahogany hued peon (peasant) carrying on
his head and outstretched hands a plank
about five feet long and on the plank a
dead child. The little corpse was that of
u gin apparently about live years old. It
was attired In a short frock of red calico,
the legs inclosed in coarse white hose "a
world too wide for the shrunk shank," no
shoes, the jet block hair smoothly braided
and crowned by a jaunty wreath of paper
roses and the cheeks horribly danlied with
vermilion to simulate the line of health.
The plank la-arer was closely followed
by two women, evidently the mother and
grandmother of thevdeceased, and they
walked with an air of conscious impor
tance, as becomes those who have furnished
otra angel ta ("another little angel," as
here a dead child is universally called), to
swell the heavenly host. Behind the wo
men inarched two men, playing with
might and main, one on a llddle, the other
on a guitar, eacli intent on u tunc of his
own regardless of the other's performance,
and the rear was brought up by a dozen or
more laughing and chattering men, wo
men and children, most of whom gave in
dubitable evidence of unwise generosity
on somebody's part in the way of chlcba,
the Chilian low class intoxicant.
They were on the way to the Pantbeuon

they had been dancing and drinking for
several days, and which possibly bad been

friends who were not so fortunate as to

Where tin* Colon«*! llud Him.
Colonel Sterreppis a newspaper man and
a great render of standard matter. Not
long ago he met a young fellow who beat
him out on a question of Biblical history
anti the colonel sought to get even. »
"That boy of yours," be said to the yonng
fellow's father, "is a bright one, but 1
guess 1 downed him."
"How?" inquired tlie father with a good
deal of curiosity. ,
"Well, I went home after he llaxcd me
out on that Biblical point and read up on
tlie Peloponnesian war—did you ever bear
of the Peloponnesian war?"
Tlie father said ho bud, and the colonel
looked disappointed.
"And," he resumed, "I camo at him on
it the next time I bad a chance and, by
thunder, sir, he told me he bad not only
heard of it but luul studied about it in his
school. Say, did you ever hear of tlie
Peloponnesian war when you was a boy?"
The old gentleman confessed that he had,
and again the colonel looked hurt.
"Yes," he went on; "he not only said
that, but he asked me if I knew that Lin
coln Imd got some of the ideas of his fam
ous Gettysburg speech from the orations
delivered on that war, and that's where I
bad him," exclaimed the colonel with a
broad smile of triumph.
"How?" inquired the father,
"Why, sir,
glowed, "1 know all about that county in
Illinois where Lincoln gut his learning,
ami there ain't a man in it ever heard of
the Peloponnesian war."
The colonel's argument was irresistible
and the father had to confess it.—Detroit

puts it, it is growing wiser and stronger.
The average length of life is steadily in
creasing. In the days of good Queen Bess
women were considered passe at thirty, and
few men distinguished tnemaelvea in state
craft, science or literature after passing
five and sixty. Now a woman is in tho
heydey of her beauty nt thirty, and the
ripest fruits of genius are frequently
plucked at threescore and ten. Gladstone,
Bismarck and Blaine are fair examples of
that green and fruitful old age so frequent
in these days. Yet science is but in its in
fancy. As it progresses the waste of life
and energy will lie gradually curtailed.

Homely American Currency,
"The paper money of the United States
Is the least handsome In the world," said
the proprietor of a money exchange. "That

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE'S
STORY,
The Scarlet Letter
An installment of which ap
pears in this issue.
THE SCARLET LET
TER is written by the firm
hand of a master, guided by
the characteristic and vivid
imagination of a great author.
The shadow of a former day
takes the reader by the hand
and leads him back to the
early days of a New England
town; amid the scenes of an
English-Amcrican colony, the
reader is made familiar with
the quaint conditions of Puri
tan life. Through the lines
one hears the cry of anguish
and the laugh of- joy and sees
the scenes as they unfold in
sunshine and in shadow.
Those who have read this
fascinating story, years ago,
will he glad to read it once
more, while thousands, both
old and young, who have
never had that pleasure, will
he glad to read it now.
FOR
The new Suits
are here ; extra
trousers are here,
and you can lit
the boys out in
the new styles
and have them ready for
their fall campaign. The
double-breasted Sack Coat
Suits promise to he more
popular than ever, as they
are just the thing for hard
wear and comfort ; keep
boys warm without over
coats. Our stock of Dress
Suits for boys in all sizes
is also in and you can lit
them out both for wear
and dress at the
time if you wish,
fully look at the styles
and prices before buying.
