The evening following the famous raid of the postoffice department on the big brokerage firm of Burr Bros., in New York, Postmaster General Hitchcock received the newspaper men in his hotel room to give them any Information they desired about the raid. He paid a high tribute to the ten picked Inspectors who had pulled off the job, and then stood leaning against a door 'for a long time, answering the questions fired at him. When the reporters had left, he said: "I haven’t had7a bite to eat for more than 12 hours.” He stepped Into the next room, where the Inspectors were waiting. “You fellows hungry?” he asked. “A little,” replied one of them. “A lot!” answered another. “None of us has had a mouthful for the past 24 hours.” Whereupon Hitchcock and his ten terrible raiders went to a restaurant, and ate neaity everything the "place had in readiness.—Popular Magazine.
