This made her think of the j hisile story. Fiudiug we had not t ?ard it, she told us how it was that histles first came to be used by post- 0 en. ' r A long time ago, when they first be- c in to have postmen iu Brooklyn, the j, en wasted a good deal of time at v me house, because people did not iswer the bell quickly. At last the t ad man decided that each postman a ould call "Whoo-hoo" just as he v me to a house. Then the people v ouUl know tt was the postman, and, soon as he reached the door, be ady to take the mail. This plan ? arked nicely, and the postmau did g >t have to complain any more about D ing kept waiting ; but, as a great any were not strong enough to do the e lliug, the new law was very hard on a em. a But eighteen years ago the calling is all stopped, and in such a simple a ly that the wonder was no one had jj er thought of it before. This is how a came about. r( Mrs. Burton had a friend living in c rooklyn, who was greatly interested j a one-armed postmau who camc to fj eir house. He always had a cheery 8l Jood-day !" for whoever opened the t, or, and was so obliging that every- M dy liked him. This friend's children p ed to watch eagerly for his coming, f, id wish they could hear him tell ^ my stories. They knew he had been 3oldier and thought he must have v en a very brave one to lose hi9 arm 8 the war. b One morning his pleasant face was issing, and a strange postman y ought the mail. I The children began to worry about n eirold friend, as day after day went t - 1 ~? 211 A : A ^^4. Af ', UUU SHU LC II1U uui> bUUJC, /iu uiu id of a week tbeir mother felt that i mething ought to be dooe, and went irself to inquire for him at the post- t rtce. Learning that he was at home , she took his address, and started at ice to see him. She found the poor an so hoarse he could scarcely speak; ? it he managed to make her uiiderind that he really was not sick. He ? mply could not talk aloud because he , id called "Whoo-boo" at the houses [' long, when his throat was sore that j ; had lost bis voice. She knew how *j ird it would be for him to get other ' urk, and felt very much troubled | hen she found his little children's ? amma was not living, and they bad t ) oue to take care of them but their J inn #nri an old crrandma. r~ o r Suddenly, while she sat there, think- . g of what could be done, a bright ^ ea came to her. Looking at the man, e exclaimed: "I know! You t ust have a whistle?such as the boys eon the streets. That will be the iry thing! Don't you see how it juld save your throat ? You could . sily blow a whistle, when you could >t call 'Whoo-hoo' loudly enough to heard across the room." The man whispered something about j ! not being "allowed" ; dui me lauy _ id: "I am sure the superintendent p ill be willing to let you use one. I t ill speak to hiui about it on my way ,j ime; and, if you will go to the office, usual, to-morrow morning, I think will be all rigbt. Indeed, I am so rtain it will be that I aui going to ask ? >u to let this little boy^walk over to e store with me; and he shall bring r ,ck a whistle for you. , Tbe next day the children were at J e window long before it was time for e postman to arrive. By and by, . ray down the block, they heard a . int whistle. Then it came a little >arer, then still nearer, till it was at eir very gate; and hurrying up the , ;ps was their own dear postman ! illing, "Mamma, mamma! He's ire, mamma!" they ran pell-mell to . e the wonderful whistle which had ought back their friend to them. When tbe other postmen saw how . uch better it was to whistle than call, ey asked tbe cbief to allow them to B e whistles also. The other cities J :ard what Brooklyn was doing, and ought it so good a plan that they deded tc give their postmen whistles. So every time we bear a postman , >w we can think how much good . rs.

The electric atmosphere of the Amercan business world is all too apt to W nake our young men impatient, writes ^ Sdsvard W. Bok in an article on ^ roung men in the March Ladies' f iome Journal. They want to fly he- ^ ore they can even walk well. Ambi- W ion is a spendid thing in any young ^ nan. But he must not?forget that, W ike fire and water it makes a good ^ lervaut but "a poor taster. Getting V ilong too fast is just as injurious as ^ jetting along too slow. A young man ^ between twenty and twenty-five must ^ >e patient. I know patience is a difti ^ ;ult thing to cultivate, but it is among 0 ,ho first lessons we must learn in bus ^ ness. A good stock of patience* Q icquired in early life, will staud a 3k Han in good stead in latter years. It W s a haudy thing to have and draw ^ jpoD, and makes a splendid safety- W tralue. Because a young man as he ^ ipproacbes twenty-five, begins to see ^ ,Dings more piauny limn uc uiu mc _ /ears before, be mustn't get the idea ^ ;hat he i9 a busiuess man yet, auden- ^ itled to a man's salary. If business ^ luestions, which he didn't understand ? five years before, now begin to look :learer to him, it is because he is pass- ^ ng through the transitory state that ^ iivides the immature judgment of the ^ foung man and the ripeBing peuetra- ^ ion of the man. He is simply begin- J ling. From then he will grow, and ^ lis salary will grow as he grows. But ^ Rome wasn't built in a day, and a bus- X nes9 mau isn't made in a night. As 0 ixperieuce comes, the judgment will ^ jecorae mature, and by the time the W foung man reaches thirty he will be- ^ jin to realize that he didn't know as ^ nuch at twenty-five as thought he did. ? \nd when he is ready to learn from J >thers he will began to grow wise. jjp \nd when he reaches that state where v le is willing to concede that he hasn't i "corner" on all the knowledge in bis world, be will be stepping out of hechryoalisof youth.
