Show Couldn't Mail His Kitty. The United States mail service is continually handling all sorts of curious curi-ous things, but all previous records were broken, so far as the Omaha postoffice is concerned, when a kitten properly tagged and addressed and stamped was pushed through the window win-dow labelled "Packages." The sender was a colored boy so small that he could scarcely reach the window, and when the clerks explained to him that the animal could not go through the mails, and forced him to take it back, his contempt for the institution was unlimited. "Why can't I send it?" he wailed. "It's a present to ma aunt and they all needs a cat. I done spend ma money for stamps for dis animal and spec' youse don't take it 'cause I'ae colored."k |
