The Seaforth News, 1930-03-27, Page 7Boy Delivers London Joker In Mail Test. Young- Messenger Clings to Human "Letter" in Trip Through City by Omnibus , London—The British Post -office. is not infrequently the subject' of mall= -anent remarks; but there is one small telegraph boy, at least, who deserves nothing bat commendation, for he .is proud of his department and a worthy upholder of Its good name. 'To test the efficiency of the service two men entered into a conspiracy, the outcome of which was that one -of them attempted to mail his cam. 'fade ay a postal packet. Front the first postoffice which they visited tile conspirators wore directed to another, where such business could ba. transacted, hfere. the unusual "letter' did not nudely excite,tlio phlegmatic officiate,, who, with re melee absence o'f emo• filen, handled the matter with quiet' -efficiency. Delivery Charge Paid An 'official form was tilled out with particulars of the addressee, the send- er paid aver twenty-five cents and the "package" was entrusted ;to the tender Mercies' of a small messenger. The "letter," of course, was sup Posed to be a complete stranger to London, and .also ignorant of any barthy language, so the friends part ed with a simple farewell, "Cum Caesar Rhemim transisset," to which the other replied with deep . feeling "Amo, Ama, Amat " The air of finality about these last words so impressed the boy that he grabbed his charge by the arm and steered him into the street. "Letter" Found Reticent Here the boy, whowas a companion able youth, attempted to make con- versation, but the 'letter" refilled ,with a non -committal smile. The boy illhrllgged his shoulders and continued in silence.. The greater part of the journey, had to be covered by omnibus. The "let - ear" attempted to board several vehi- oies going in the wrong direction, but the youthful'serrant of the .postoiflce, with a firm grip on coat sleeve, dis- gouraged these endeavors. At last they boarded the right con•. veyance, and after a little difficulty !oyer fare paying the journey proceed - ad in_sileuce. Then the 'letter," as befitsa traveller in astrange city, . stood up to enjoy the sights of Pic• 1adflly Circus, but the inexorable Mercury forcibly indicated that a sa- lting position was desirable. Attempt to Escape Fails Alter leaving the omnibus the boy stopped to inquire the way of a taxi- driver and . the "letter," grasplughis ;opportunity, disappeared in the crowd Of pedestrians But the lad was not to be thrown off so easily. Doubtless remember - Ing recent postal thefts and losses, he tracked his charge with the relentless- ness of a bloodhound, and, having secured once more a firm sleeve -grip, he did not let go untilhe had made delivery to the addressee in person. "Omnia Gallia" said theman who had been: steered ed salol Y across Longi don. "Castro posuit" replied the re- cipient of this strange consignment. Whereupon the dimunitive representa- tive of the Britih postal service; grasp- ing his signed receipt, departed—an- other job done and an interesting tale to relate to his friends and relatives, Stamps Most of us, whether youug or old, are interested in statnps. Sometimes we collect them from parcels and let- ters, sometimes we trade them with someone who has specimens that we have not, and sometimes we, buy them. At the headquarters of the League of Nations Society in Canada, Ottawa, ;where we receive mail from many countries, we aro always interested In new stamps,. The newest 011e we have seen is a publicity stamp, . issued by the International Federation of the League of Nations Societies, whose headquarters are in Brussels, Bel glum, The new stamp comes in blue, green, mauve and red, winch will, no doubt, prove popular spring colors. They are about the size of our Canadian 10e stamp and have a miniature reap of the world -on them, encircled by a row Of stare. -You may buy these stamps, a sheet of twenty-four, for fifteen cents.

Mammoths' Graveyard Is Sought Along Yukon Fort Yukon, Alaska. -Seeking ante- diluvian' monsters with hair and skins intact, two scientist -traders have be- gun a leisurely journey down the frozen Yukon River iu the hope of finding the burial place of mammoths in the high bluffs of the stream unap- proachable during the season of open water. East spring frost forces huge hones out of gravel beds• along the river. Many valuable finds of ancient ivory were uncovered in the same manner in recent years and marketed by the two traders. The last weir preservod carcass of a mammoth was found near Dawson in 1904 ansi sold to an Eastern college museum for a large sum. That there are more such remains still intact In the frozen subsoil along the Yukon, where nature may do the excavating, is the opinion of the searchers, They expect to exchange clog sledges for. barges early in thespring, 'near the mouth of the Tanana River's con- fluence onfluence with the Yukon, "The man Whotr a creed s in his work is the man a who 'can keep quiet and placid vi•hhen there' is very severe pres- sure." --Charles e s DHug Hughes.

When they are fretful, fussy and disinclined to play you may be sure something is wrong, Almost invariably that some- thing lies in the digestive tract. It is to meet the' need for an abso- lutely safe corrective of childhood ail- ments that Baby's Own Tablets have been designed.. They gently regulate the stomach and bowels and thus drive out constipation and indiges- tion; break up colds and simple fevers and allay teething paint. Concern- ing them Mrs, W. 111, Forsyth, Dover, N.B., writes: "I would not be. without Baby's Own Tablets as I: know of noth- ing to equal them for fretful, fussy babies who are troubled with colds or sour stomach."

The Shake- speare country, North Wales, Dub- lin, with its Reeky Road; the Irish Free State, youngest of .the .British Dominions; Cork and•the lovely Lakes of icillarney; the Giant's Causeway and, of course, the Blarney Stone will be on the route. Crossing again to Scotland, Glasgow and the Burns' country is viewed; tite Taossachs, Edinburgh, the English Lake Country, and Liverpool provide days full of Wonder and amazement. This part of the tour returns to London August 10. Then comes the visit to the con- tinent which begins with a twenty- four .hoar stay at Brussels. From Brussels the quaint Holland country is visited, then the party proceed to the lovely Rhine Valley country, pass- ing on the way up that river the his- toric cities of Cobleuz, with its cathe- dral, and Bonn with its world-famous universities, both places which were held by troops of the Canadian Ex- peditionary Force inhutediately follow- ing the armistice. Frankfort and Munich aro also visited, then the party ..proceeds to Oberailimet'gati for Sunday, where they will be privileged to view the famous Passion .Play, which exemplifies what is regarded by most of tie as the greatest event of all history. Returning the party are the guests at a government reception at Munich before proceeding ooeediug to Switzer, land for a four-day stay, which will in- clude a visit to Geneva, seat of the League of Nations. Front Switzerland the party r irn to Paris, where an- other four days will be spent, The Paris visit'anay be cut in half and those desiring to do so will be afforded an opportunity of a taro -days tour of the battlefields of the Great War. To most of the party this visit to the battlefields will be the climax of what all will regard as truly the op- portunity of a lifetime.

Countless remedies are advertised for constipation. Many relieve eve for the moment but they are habit form-. ing and must be continued. Others contain calomel and dangerous min- eral dregs, which remain in the sys- tem, ,;settle in the joints and cause aches and pains. Some are harsh purgatives which cramp and gripe and leave a depressed after effect. Avoid lubricating oils which only grease the intestines and encourage ' nat re t e s machinery to become lazy. t Are u I p y vegetable laxative such as Carter's Little Liver Pills, gently touches the liver, bile starts to flow, the bowels move gently, the intestines are thoroughly cleansed and constipa- tion poisons pass away. The stomach, liver and bowels are now active and the system enjoys a real tonic effect. All druggists 25c and 75c red pkgs. A Glorious End Frani, Ship of Polar Explorers Equipped for Her Last Voyage • Oslo,•Norway.—Tho battered ship Vram, whieh has carried Norwegian explorers t0 their Conquests during four decades, is being equipped for her last voyage. The Frain carried Fridjof Nanson toward the North Pole in 1893 and brought him' back two years later when he reported having reached inti• tido 86 degrees 14 minutes, the north- ernmost point visited by man up to tilers. The same Pram, with a few new ac- coutrements, ecoutrements, carried Roaid Amundsen south in 1911' and carried him back in triumph as discoverer of the South Pole, to be acclaimed at home. Now the Fram is to proceed to Trondhjem to take part in an exhibi- tion on the occasion of the 900th an- niversary of the introduction of Chris- tianity into Norway. When she re- turns she will be plated in the Arctic Museum here On her .Enal voyage the Fram' will be captained by Wilting, the only liv- ing man besides Rear Admiral Rich- ard E. Byrn who has seen both poles. Wieling was with Amundsen at the South Pole in a dirigible in 1928. The Pram's crew will be made up of old polar explorers from the Nausea, Amundsen and Srerdrup'expeditions. Mlnard's Kills Dandruff. Beaverbrook's Proposal Sydney.
