leave the offloe and go through Ply.
mouth Meeting, Harmonville, Cedar

Plymouth. These routes will be laid
out this week, and It Is possible that
the deliveries will start on Monday.
These, routes win require two carri-

It is expected that some day
Spring Mill will he annexed to this
borough, and in that way will get n,,
delivery.
Tin', business or the Conshohocken
I'ost Office is Increasing very rapid-ly.
Last month It amounted to over
$1000. For the past six months, end-ing
October 1st, it amounted to over
$6000. If this continues for the balance
oi the year ending April 1st. it will en-title
the borough to free delivery.
lie se last six months are always the
big ones, from the receipt standpoint,
and It Is almost a certa|inty that free
delivery will he made in the borough
before next fall.
In I his connection It Is Interesting
in siato that the purchases of stamps
'« "nil Iii the borough, amounts
o $8000 a year, and this year it will
in,minl In $5000.
With free delivery the conveniences
en Iho office will also be Increased.

the stamps ...re sold while the windows
ue closed, by ,inv one making their
wishes known lo the postmaster or Ills
isatatanta,
The frlenels or the office are now en-doavoring
to have the free delivery of
uiaiis made in the borough to take ef-f"
I about the Iii si or the year. The
rural delivery will greatly increase, the
amount or mall handled hero, and II
is hoped thai the department win give
the rree delivery about January 1st.
The' rural delivery will have the ef-feet
ultimately of closing up the small
offices in the territory in which they
are made.
'"no who should know nlBo said that
when Conshohocken was ready for free
delivery It Is possible that West Con-shohocken
will bo united with this
borough and iho free- delivery extended
lo both boroughs. If the residents of
West Conshohohcken want this to take
Place, they should immediately petition
the department to do so, it is said that
very II11lo effort on the part of the res-idents
neroBs the river will result In
the joining of the two offices, with
free delivery for both, and the placing
or a branch offloe in the West BoTOUgh
lor the receiving or the mall, niul the
selling or stamps, postal cards, and
Other post office supplies.

II Is not to be supposed that the mis-sionary's
lot Is always the happiest In
the world, hut there are tlnu-s when
there are incidents in it so full of hu-mor
as to make up ror tin. troubles
and trials which are more ,,, ,n
Among ti„. itories iii illustration ,,r
this point is one that comes from a re
cent llrllisb Consul |„ Samoa, who
slates that a missionary there was one-day
visited by a gentle-looking youth,
who asked, "Please, sir. may I >;,.t
married?" A day was appointed tor
the ceremony, when at the time, nam-ed,
appeared the youthful bridegroom,
looking Beat, shy. and guileless; he
was asked to take a seat and did so.
blushing rigorously, A quarter e,r an
hour elapsed, and there wore no fresh
arrivals; yet there sat the y> | man
without the slightest show of that anx-iety
usually attributed to Kent I, me,,
about t,, take the fatal plunge, AI
last tin. mlsslonar] i, came Impatient
and asked him where I ho young woman
wns.
"Who?" said the. youth.
Why, the gh I yon want to marry!"
"Oh. she's ill Safe '
"What!" cried the minister "Have
you come here for ma to marry you t„
a woman sixteen miles off on the. other
side of Iho island?"
"Yes," replied ti„. innocent; "I
didn't think you would want her!"
He was sent away I,, fetch her, and
in the course or n week returned to go
through the marriage ceremony In
