Not In Circulation There.

An error of a new clerk in the mailing department of an eastern publisher was responsible, the other day, for the mailing of a prospectus to a worldfamous statesman, who had been dead for some years. The letter was returned a few days later with the following indorsement: “In Heaven, , 1911. Gentlemen: As your publications are pot permitted to circulate here, I believe it would be useless for me to subscribe for them. Yours respectfully,” and here followed the name of the famous statesman.
