of the institution by securiug for

Kahn & Ta n no nbaum a re selling overcoats so low that it will pay you to buy olio now, even if you don't use it until next wi tits fj TOWN TALK, I have been loafing about the PoRtnffioo everr eveniuff for the
past week just about the time the mail conies in, and when MoPheeters. Walker and Faris are three busiest men in town,in perfect oblivion of all that is going on on the outside. I did this loafing for the purpose of studying the characteristics of the frequenters of this well-patronised resort. The first thing that attracted my attention (and it would attract Anybody's atten
tion) was uhe bevy of good look-'
litg young ladies to be seen there I supposed they wont there after their mails, but at this present writing I am more of the opinion that they went there more after the other kind of males. I firpt began to suspicion this when I heard a "sweet sixteen" Remark to her companions, "Watch mo 'mush' that student with a little mustache, standing there by the stove." Gracious goodness! h$ she really going to hit him, thought !. Another replied: "Oh; aint he sweet; he is clear gone on you now." A third one said: "That Moflet boy is my darling, and don't you forget it " While a fourth claimed that Kerney Buskirk was her "great big lump of sweetness;." And so they
kept on charting merrily and;
laughingly at their own witticism until the wickets were thrown
open and then of course, th& reader will say went up to get their mail matter. Not a bit of it. One of them went up and glanced into a glass box, then returned to her companions, and they all left. Now, the Postoffice h a public place, 'tis true, but not one oft hose girls had any business thero that night, for the reason that all of them have fathers or broth srs who go to the Posteliice promptly alter the arrival of every 'mail. If they had really looked for any mail I should have had a strong saspicioti that they wore carrying on a secret correspondence and were receiving letters under fictitious names. But as they didn't even apply lor letters I could come to but the one conclusion, and that was, th 3 v went to the
:Postolce on ths.t occasion, had
been there before, and were there J5inco, fbl the purpose of "making niafrhes," Now, girls, do' quit! If your parents really send you to the Postoffice for the night mail, don't go until after the mail has been opened. If you go before you will be compelled to mingle with a lot of fellows who go just because you do. Next week, probably I shall toll of some other thing? I saw there during my week's loaf. VlGILAKT.
