TRIUMPH FOR One of the greatest nuisances with which post oflices, especially those in the smaller places, have to contend is that occasioned by the thought- lessness of the great army or future men and women of this great Do- .minsion sometimes irreverently called “school kids," many of whom during the school months flock to the post omce three or four times a. day, and not infrequently, perhaps, three or four of the same family may repeat the same performance at short inter- vals. Thus the mail of a family may be needlessly called for from three‘ to a. dozen times a day for six days ‘a week sometimes without receiving a solitary piece of mail for weeks at a stretch, some older member of the family having called during the morn- ing or afternoon. A post office clerk in a neighboring town kept tab on the number of times a certain fam- ily’s mail was called for in one day. Four children called four times each -- that made sixteen; the mother dropped in about five in the evening on her way home from the store. Ai- ter supper the head of the family walked up to the Window and de- manded his mail. .When informed thgt there was nothing for him, he blandly inquired, “Ain’t there no pa- pers ?” Being asked What paper he received, he replied, "Oh I don’t take none regler, but sometimes I get a sample copy." As the Window closed for the night the clerk gasped, “Oh, Lord, deliver us.”â€"Uxbridge Jour- nal. DRUG STORE DUN CON ’8 GREAT NUISANCE Rexafil Violet Dulce The Difierence Is Great THE LINDSAY POST.
