coanfortable. This may surprise you,
but it's true --I do not refer to the
tips earned as head waiter at The
Meridith. That was not my trade, so
much as it was niy recreation, In my
youth I made the acquaintance of
palm reader and a spiritualist, and this
was the profession I' took upon com-
ing to your city. It was not long be-
fore I was able to organize this indus-
try and hire others to do the actual
work. I supervised it all, and as head
waiter at the Meredith, I was able to
learn much about our smart people,
which could be told to them again by
palmists and mediums, with very good
effect.
"It was in this connection that I be-
came acquainted with Jane Perkins.

ment was not far from The Meredith,

too close to home for comfort, as you
will well understand, so I took her out

POSTMASTERS' PAY
Strong representations are being
made to Hon P, J. Veniot, Postmas-
ter -General, by the Canadian Post-
masters' Association, in support oPa
request for an adjustment in com-
missions paid. According to the ar-
gurnents of the association, the plea
is being made mainly on behalf of
the postmasters in smaller towns,
who receive no salary but work on a
commission basis. Throughout Can-
ada are ri,812 commission post of-
fices, in which the postmasters derive
their revenue mainly from the sale of
stamps. Their duties, nevertheless,
are as arduous and painstaking as
those of postmasters located in Gov,
erninent-owned buildings ,and draw-
ing regular salaries. Literature sent
out by the association states that
such commission post -masters are re-
quired to pay all the up -keep charges
of their offices out of their commis-
sions.' In many cases the postmaster
is required to be on the job night and
day to meet the requirements of the
public, and in such cases, an allow-
ance of $3.85 per week is made ap-
parently to allow the postmaster' to
employ ;extra assistance. Commis-
sions range from 20 cents to $to per
day. About 10,000 of the commission.
postmasters, however, receive not
more than $2 per day. In their repre-
sentations to the department, the
postmasters point out that in 6o years
there have been salary increases of 26
