KISSES OVER THE COUNTER.

. The young postaian of a village,was hard at work in his office when a gentle tap was he&rd "Upon the door, and in stepped a blushing maiden of sixteen, with a money order which she desired cashed. She handed it with a baleful smile tft the official, who after closely examining gave her the money it called for. At the same time he asked hertf>*s she had read what was written on the margin of. the order. , - "No. I have not," she replied, "for I cannot make it out. Will you read it for me, please ? " ' * ■ The young postman read as follows : "I send you ten shillings and a dozen kisses." Glancing at the bashful girt he r y said, "Now, I have paid you the money and I suppose you want the V kisses too." \ •». rb/'H-iU "Yes," she said, "if he,has sent me n any kisses I want them too." It is hardly necessary to say that the balance of the order was paid promptly and in a scientific manner. On i reaching home the delighted,.,, maiden remarked to her mother : "Mother, this post-office system is : a great thing, developing more and more every year, and each new f"ajture seems to be the best. .Tinimv sent me a dozen kisses along with the money order, and the postman gave me twenty. Tt beats the.special delivery system all hollow."'* - f
