THOSE LOVE-LETTERS
Increase in Price to Mail Let-
ters Brings New Problem.
How the boys are going to pay the bill
for postage after next week is a mys
tery. Sending eighteen or twenty sheets
to your sweetheart several times a week
is an expensive business at best, but now
on November the second the government
is to increase the postage rate from two
cents per oz. to three cents per oz. ex
cept on letters sent to the town in which
they are mailed. On these the old rate
prevails. Souvenior postcards must have
a two-cent stamp, and the regular gov
ernment postcard must have a one-cent
stamp added.
The postmaster general has announced
that after November the second, all let
ters which do not bear the three-cent
stamp will be returned the writer if ad
dress is known, and if not it will be
sent to its destination where the party
to whom it is addressed will hav to pay
the additional cent. It would be quite
embarrassing to compel the young lady

HOT STUFF.
"Devil Wants to Resign."
The devil sat by the lake of fire, on a
pile of sulphur kegs; his head was bowed
upon his breast, his tail between his
legs; a look of shame was on his face
the sparks dripped from his eyes; he had
sent his resignation to the throne up in
the skies. "I’m down and out.” the
devil said, he said it with a sob. "There
are others that outclass me, and I want
to quit my job. Hell isn’t in it with the
lan dthat lies along the Rhine. I'm a
Has Been and a Piker, and therefore I
resign. One ammunition maker w’ith his
bloody shot and shell knows more about
damnation than all the imps in hell.
Give my job to Kaiser William, the au
thor of this war, he understands it better
a million times by far. I hate to leave
the old home, the spot I love so well,
but I feel that I’m not up to date in the
art of running Hell.”
