LIVING EXAMPLE SHOWN T0 MADDEN| Mail Oarriers Illustrate the Wrong | Which They Say the Govern® ment is Doing Them. i MANY AFTER THE CONVENTION | When Charles H. King, with years hovering around the seventy mark, ' fell on the icy sidewalk last winter while delivering mall for Uncle S8am in Omaha, he sounded his own doom as a salaried man of the government. Because he could not return to work in 150 days he was permanently dismissed from the service. Totter-| ing on weak limba, the result of that | fall, the old gentleman was brought to the platform at the Auditorium before the convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers and there presented with a bouquet of flowers by the local carriers. ‘That the old gentleman was thus dis- missed from the service and . left unpro- vided for, after carrying mail for thirty- five years for the government, without a single demerit mark, was stated by Wil- Willlam Maher, president of the local branch of the Letter Carriers, “He was Ill for over 150 days some two years ago,” sald Maher. “He was lald off then. Finally, when he was well enough, we succeeded in getting him reinstated. FHe carried for a time and then suffered {liness thia fall, which laid him up again for a longer period. This time he was permanently dlsmissed and cannot enter the service again because he is unable to do the work. The great government has let him unprovided for. ‘We are going to give him this little token of our respect,” continued Maher, as he turned with the bouquet in his hands, “And Mr. Congressman,” turning to Congress- man Martin Madden of Chicago, “Mr. Congressman, 1 hope you will see fit to do something for this man and his kind in the service.” Omdha Hunters Ar; Daréd to Show Chief of Police Hamlin of Kansas Oity did not have ague, but was badly fright-| that a rattler was his nemesis ened during the outing. | gave Chief Hamlin an alarm watch which sounds like a rattlesnake. rattiesnakes in the hunting grounds vis- fted by the Omahans. counted forty rattlers in one coterie.
