Show TAFFY WILL DO IT. How to Secure fr'Irctriclty for Our t'oit- Postmaster Boothe ought to ''taffy up" Uncle Sam a bit; get the good old gent in good humor and then ask him in the sweetest tones imaginable to hang an electric lamp in the postofiice, for the accommodation of the public. It isn't the most delightful and smoothest 'Teeling" in the world to stumble into the postoificc on a dark night with no matches in your possession and rub the ends of your fingers off feeling and feeling, feel-ing, and rubbing and rubbing about in search of the keyhole of your box. We've had more fun than that lots of times. Cmuc now, Benjamin, pull old Uncle's eout- I tails in behalf of the people. We 1 shall have the electric lights in the ; City in about three weeks and hope ! to see them in the pooihce. |
