D. carrier from York county in The Ledger, and I as a carrier want ’cO do like the good Methodists do in a big meeting, say amen to every word he said. What he said was the plain truth, only he didn’t veil it “all.” Suppose he’ll tell some more next time. Hen Hope, you have him to write us another letter soon. “Laugh and • he world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.” But I suppose there are now about 3,800 carriers who are weeping over the had roads. I have just come in from a twenty- four mile drive but from the mud it seems thaV it s thirty-five miles in stead of twenty-four. Now as to experiences I will give a few of my up^i and downs, though more downs ’.ban ups I believe. My horse came in tonight with a muddy head. One of my patrons wanted to know if my horse had been standing on his head. But I told him he had found a knife and stooped to pick i'< up and lost, his balance and he knock ed all the mud out of a ten-foot square mud hole, ft seemed that most of • hat mud spattered me in the face and eyes, but I said nothing, only thought, It's the way of a carrier, lust a few days ago I overtook a man and his wife going down the road the anu* way F was going. The man ask ed me to please hA his wife ride with me a few miles, but I told him I would be glad to accommodate her but the law strictly forbids me car rying anyone with me who is not bonded in . he service, so when I | came in that night I was telling my i brother of what had happened, when my wife overheard me and she spoke out and said she was glad the law prohibited the carrying of persons, as it would he so hard on Vhe poor old horses. When she said that I gave my brother the wink. I thought she had gotten mighty good and humane all at. once. Now she asks me in ihe j “venfng if there is any news on the route today, but I tell her everything is quiet these times. I can sav vhat every word that W. A. C. says about the penny nuis ance is correct. There are some patrons who will sit in the house by a good fire and look out of the win dow at a poor carrier fingering all over a cold mall box fishing for pen- j nies and then just as Ihe carrier gets j his gloves on and starts out, here they I come running to the box to get their 1 mail. Why could 'they not have come out and brought their letters and stamped them and ^;ot their mall to save the carrier from all this trouble on a cold winter day? Patrons appre ciate the service Just in accordance | to the favor t'jey show their carrier. But they say he’s paid to do this. We should not look at this thing from this point I don’t think. Then there Is another thing I find, some patrons will meet their carrier twenty miles from their homes ask him if they have any mail. Then he has bis mail “routed” and must look through 150 papers, fifty circulars and seventy-five letters and postal cards, or tell them they have none. (You know mail carriers have a wonderful recollection). What do you carriers do under such circumstances? I think ’the latter would be justifiable under such con ditions and at such places. How about the post card business? It has grown very extensive in the last few years, on my route. I can read them almost “off hand,” and es pecially when the Johnnies close. Thev generally write: “Be good,” “Keep sweet,’’ "You John,” "My Tootsy Wootsy,” “Look under the stamp,” then off they go to their des tination. Soon he answer comes hack in which Johnnie Tootsy Wootsy has a few little love words and then closes like her John did by saying “Be good,’ “Keep sweet." TV’s always the same old “gag.” I have to go down thirty hills and up about, sixty, stop at eighty-one mail boxes, lick twenty-five Vwo-cent and thirty ono-cent stamps a day on an average, smile on twelve or four teen "sweet six’, eens” anf j give them a word or wo. lint of course I must keep this a serret when I get home. A Cherokee B. F. D. Carrier. “Red Bird” Notes. Gaffney, Jan. 19.—We are having some very nice weather now. Some days seem like summer and some like winter. The roads are very bad for the mail carrier to travel over. We are having a good school av Palmar school house this year, and have a good teacher in Mr. Burgin Lat- timore. They all like him fine for a teacher. Mr. Summie Allison visited his best girl Sunday. Mr. D. C. Humphries visited Mr. J. !,. Humphries Sunday. Mr. James Humphries and Mr. W. J. S. Humphries killed two fine hogs Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Huskey are all sinlles—It’s a boy. Mr. J. S. McOraw has sold his cot- ’.on to the Henrietta Mills. Mr. Void Humphries, his cousin, Willie, and Mr. Oscar Mintz spent Sunday near Camp Creek. He visited the Sunday school at Camp Creek. Well, I will ring off. hoping to see this in print, and if this escapes the waste baskeft I will come again. Red Bird.

The mental characteristics of each sign are given with faithful ac curacy. A list of lucky and unlucky day* will be furnished to those who have our almanacs, free of charge. Adress The Peruna Co., Columbus, O. The Word of a Gentleman. (Selected.) The word of a gentleman carrie: with it the assurance that it will b< kept at any cost. No gentleman will break his word. During the French Revolution two gentlemen, a man o! thirty and a lad of sixteen made n rich use of this. They were both about to he sent to the bloody guillo tine. The older one had lived a rather wild life, hut in prison hah time for sobeniess and repentance. He said to the younger, “We need not fear to die, we are sincerely sorr? for our sins, and the good God will not go hack on His word as a gentle man, but will forgive for Christ'* sake, as he died.” And so both wen unflinchingly to the axe, nefc alone as brave men, but also as Christians, ex pecting heaven. Why not? A gentleman was the highest, they knew. All ’.hat, wa best in a gentleman, and more, God was. A gentleman kept his word ol promise, God much more. And sr let us see that there is nothing oi which we can rely like the promise of God in Christ Jesus. We may de ny Him; He cannot deny Himself.
