Omnibus : e British Post-office As the subject of mall. nt remarks; but there is one small boy, at least, who deserves but commendation, for he is nT of his department and a worthy _upholder of its good name, To test the efficléncy of tha service two men entered into a conspiracy, the outcome of which was that one _ of them attempted to mail his com ale as a postal packet, 3 "From the first postoffice which thay visited the conspirators wera directed to another, where such business could "he transacted. « Here the unusual "letter® did not unduly excite the phlegmatic officials, who, with complete absence of emo- tion, handled the Inatter with quiet efficiency. Delivery Charge Pald An official form was filled out with particulars of the addressee, the send- er paid over twenty-five cents and the "package" was entrusted to the tender mercies of a small messenger, The "letter," of course, was sup- posed to be a complete stranger to London, and also ignorant of any eartliy language, so the friends part- ed with a simple farewell, "Cum Caesar Rhenum transisset," to which the other replied with deep feeling "Amo, Ama, Amat" The air of finality about these last words so impressed the boy that he grabbed his charge by the arm and steered him into the street. + "Letter" Found Reticent Here the boy, who was a companion able youth, attempted to make con- versation, but the "letter" replied with a non-committal smile. The boy shrugged his shoulders and continued in silence, The greater part of the journey had to be covered by omnibus, The "let ter" attempted to board several vehi- cles going in the wrong direction, but the youthful servant of the postofiice, with a firm grip on coat sleeve, dis- couraged these endeavors. At last they bearded the right con- veyance, and after a little difficulty over fare paying the journey proceed: ed in silence. Then the "letter," as befits a traveller in a strange city, stood up to émjoy the sights of Pic" cadilly Circus, but the inexorable Mercury forcibly indicated that a sit- ting position was desirable. Attempt to Escape Fails After leaving the omnibus the boy stopped to inquire the way of a taxi- driver and the "letter," grasplug his opportunity, disappeared in the crowd of pedestrians But the lad was not to be thrown oft so. eadily. Doubtless remember: ing recent postal thefts and losses, he tracked his charge with the relentless- ness of a bloodhound, - and, having secured once more a firm sleeve-grip, he did not let go until he had made delivery to the addressee in person. "Omnis Gallia" sald the man who had been steered safely across Lon- don. "Castra posuit" replied the re- cipient of this strange consignment. 'Whereupon the dimunitive representa- tive of the Britih postal service, grasp- ing his signed receipt, departed--an- 'other job done and an interesting tale - to relate to his friends and relatives. x mec Stamps { | Most of us, whether young or old, are interested in stamps.

"I am writing to tell you," says Mrs, James A. Haughn, Bridgewater, N.8., 'the great health benefit I received through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

I procured a further supply of the pills and found a steady improve- 1 could eat well, sleep soundly at night,' and my house- work was no longer a task beyond my strength.
