WHY HE CLOSED POST OFFICE!
I
Ike Wanted to Transfer the Bash
i
in Business to His Other Establishment.
lUncle Ike Ross, a weatherbeaten
mountaineer, who presides over a post
office among the hills of southern!
Missouri, peered through the stamp,
window at two city men who had
*
tramped five miles from their moun*
tain camp to post some business letters.
He shook his head.
"There's been a pumb big rush of
business at this hyar post office this'
morning he drawled," "and I'm all

"But,"' gasped the man nearest the i
window, .''these letters have got. to go.[
They're important, and 'they've got1
to catch the stage and get off to-!
(Jay." . :
/Uncle Ike was obdurate. "Hit shore!
i
don't pay no man to work hisself to'
death," he said deliberately, and with-'
l
drew to a chair, where he tipped back
and dropped into a doze.
"Some folks," snapped the city man, j
"would be too lazy to make a dollar j
if all the opportunities of the next1
50 years come and perished on their'
doorsteps! Now, where are we go-;
inrt to get dinner?"
His companion pointed silently to a <
