When the alarm sounded In hla watch ho believed a Omaha Hunters Arc Dared to Show Their Faces in Kansas City, Mo. City Commissioner Withnell, returning from a hunting trip at Tom O'Brien's ranch near Sutherland, Neb., states that Chief of Police Hamlin of Kansas Ctty did not have ague, but was badly fright ened during the outing. In the party was George Brandels, who g-ave Chief Hamlin an alarm watch which sounda like a rattlesnake. There wore rattlesnakes In the hunting grounds vls- Charlle Withnell as a salaried man of the government. Because he could not return to work In ISO days he was permanently dismissed from the service. Totter ing on weak limns, the result of that fall, the old gentleman was brought to the platform at the Auditorium before the convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers and there presented with a bouquet of flowers by the local carriers. That the old gentleman wh thus dis missed from the servtoe and .left unpro vided for, after carrying mall for thirty five yearn for the government, without a single demerit mark, was stated by Wll Wllliam Maher, president of the local branch of the Letter Carrlera. "He was 111 for over 150 days some two Tears ago," said Maher. "He was laid ff then. Finally, when he waa well enough, we succeeded In getting him reinstated. He carried for a time and then suffered illness this fail, which laid him up again for a longer period. Thla time he was permanently dismissed and cannot enter the service again because be Is unable to do the wxrk. The great Government has let him unprovided for. We are going to give him thla little token nf one rerneot." continued Maher, as he turned with the bouquet In his hands. "And Mr. Congressman,- turning to Congress man Martin Madden of Chicago, "Mr, fnnarreaaman. I hope you will see fit to do something for this man and hla kind in the service." Talks n Pensions. This dramatlo climax followed a num ber of talks and discussions on the sub ject of the proposed pension system for civil service employes. Lawrenoe Le Bron. formerly a oarrler of Chioago, now living with his sons In Omaha, was then also brought to the stage and Introduced as another example of the men whose working years are given to the government at a meager salary and who are then retired on account of old age, with no provision for their maintenance. ConsTessman Martin B. Madden made the principal address of the morning. Madden has suffered a change of heart. o he told the convention. "I've come" a long way slnoe I last spoke to letter carriers," said Madden, and be was enthusiastically cheered. Mast Fnan tne Bills. "You have had bills Introduced In con gress, but one would scarcely say the bills have been before congress,'' said Madden. "Tou must agitata these bills and see that they get serious considera tion. We can stand and talk In private conventions forever, and yet never get action. There ought to be a Joint conv- rottte of congress to oonslder your ease. And as for you, you ought to prepare fig ure and make a oase. Agitation does no good Unless you prepare a case with care ful arguments and figures. "Furnish us with the information and we'll furnish you with the legislation. A rising vote of thanks and a rousing three cheers were given Congressman Madden at the close of his speech. Three intlnerant singers, the Cramer brothers, came In at the noon hour and entertained the carriers wtth two songs. Portland Sends Roses.

Chief Hamlin looked around to locate the creating creature and hla Inability to find It aggravated the altuatton. He ran like a fire engine to Withnell, exclaiming that a rattler was his nemesis. Messrs. Withnell, Brmndeia and O'Brien were doing tholr beat to restrain their feelings Withnell suggeated that the snake would surely renew Its attack, be cause, he added, rattlesnakes are per sistent.
