Willing to be Useful.

Atlanta Journal. A crowd of well-known young men about town were standing at Silverman’s corner the other night when a newsboy ran by crying, “Here's your Post.” He came up to the crowd and asked, “‘Anyone want a Post?" “Have you got a hitching post?” asked one of the young men.
