Lost His Dollar

A certain verypolite, unmarried official stepped up to the stamp window at the post office yesterday with several unstamped letters, a postal card or two and a dollar in coin. Tlie gentleman who sells Únele Sam's little stickers was busy just then issuing mouey orders, and so the said official deposited the letters, postáis and the dollar on the window shelf and waited with patience. Just as the stamp seller turned wait on the patiënt waiter a lady came up to the window as il' in luiste, and our official very politëly stepped back to to allow her pieference at the window, forgettiug all about his dollar, etc. ïhe lady niompolized the window while buying a stamp, and when the polite gentleman, who so graciously gave way ïis opportunity, came back he found lis letters and lus postáis all right, but 10 dollar. It had vanished. So had the lady, and he surmises hat the two went together. At all events he had to hunt up nother dollar before he couJd buy the ifty stamps he wanted, for Uncle Sana ever trusts any one.
