THE STRANGER GAVE ORDERS ,

When Mail Wagon Driver White ,
who handles the reins on carriage No

over to the Northwestern city sta
tion very early Mils morning to make
an outgoing train , the rain was fall
ing slightly and passengers got under
cover about as fast as they could
White dumped his mall sacks down
on the depot platform , as usual , know
ing that the train would bo alonq in a
mlnuto and that no moisture could
leak through the very heavy Hacking ,
anyway.
Ho started Into the station himself
when suddenly a stranger vvvlked up ,
looked at the mall sacks and asKed
him if ho didn't think he'd better tal.o
them Inside , maybe Now White has
been at the business for a good long
while and ho ought to know his own
business. That's what ho thought
when the straliger butted In. So ho
looked the fellow carefully over- and
then said , "Oh , I guess the mall won't
get wet right where I put It. "
The stranger smiled an aggravat
ing smile and more caustic remarks
might have followed If the unknown
man hadn't just then unbuttoned his
coat , thrown back the lapel and dis
closed a shining badge which labelled
him as a United Status jiostoJIIco inspector
specter
White took the mall inside.

Mr Saundeis has , during Mm past

almost two millions of them. It Is

and went out. Saundeis appieclated
the situation , giabbed the meat ordei
blanks , went to every maiket in town
and contracted to place several cat
loads of choice beef at about half the
real maiket value. It cost the moat
man just $27 to squaio things , by
buying bundles of boxes of Saundera'
best , to treat the customoib who had
signed the oideis.
Saunders was formerly in the news
paper business , in St. Joseph , but
gave it up because there was 111010

Filled Cellars With Water.
As a result of the heavy rain which
fell Wednesday morning , several cel
lars along the business district of
Noifolk ( uciiuo are brim full of mud
dy water. Ono which is puttlcularly
full , the wetness standing a's high as
the celling , Is the hardware store of
John Friday. The rear end of the lot
upon which this building stands , Is
lower than the street grads which his
just been established. Consequently
water which was formerly wont to
run out through n Fourth street gutter -
tor , now backs up Into the buildings.
Mr. Friday was considerably out of
patience because of the fact , and said
as much to members of the city coun
cil who happened along Their an
swer was that ho ought to Jill his letup
up oven with the giado
"For eight years , " said Mr. Friday ,
"this water has drained off all right
but now the culvert has been shut off
and our collars are filled with water.
It Isn't right that wo should suffer
through this negligence , and If there
Is any chance for a suit , ono will bo
