Vatlare fram Zk SER CHEE SEATTLE To Postmaster Charles M. Perkins Dear Sir: Saturday I was at the postoffice. T noticed a long queue ‘at tho registry window. The line moved like molasses, Only one clerk seemed to be engaged in handling the crowd, and he didn't seem to be able to make change effectively Seema to mo that eomething could be done to expedite matters of this sort, Aftcr all, the public deserves service—it pays the bills, CHIEF SEATTLE To Coach Bagshaw and His University Football Team Dear Washingtonians: Congratulations on the splendid manner in Which your fighting qualities upheld the glory of the Purple and Gold Against the Annapolis club at Pasadena on New Year's day, Wo note with pride that you came from behind twice against odds to tle the score. CHIEF SEATTLE, To the Man in the ‘Brown Fedora and Tan Overcoat © Dear Sir: Tsaw you crossing at Third ave. and Columbia st, last Fri * day. As you crossed Columbia you rudely oF carelessly jostied a blind > man, bis arms go full of newspapers that he couldn't use his cane to guide himself across the traffic. You passed on, hesitated halfway ‘across the slippery pavement and then returned, grasped hia arm and Helped the helpless and halting stranger past the heavy automobiles frundling down hill, He thanked you profusely and with a cheery word you left him on the curb, It warmed my auricles and ventric dear fellow, that little tarly New Year's rigolution of more care to your fellow man, CHIEF SEATTLE: To the Drivers of Five Automobiles Imbecile Sirs; I wish I knew your names. Last Wednesday evening during the snowfall I saw you race up E. Pike st,, near Belmont ave. ‘at a rate of speed exceeding elty ordinance and common precaution. You were nearly abreast and filled the street until you reached Har yard ave. where I lost sight of you. Fortunately the street was clear of pedestrians, street cars and other automobiles, but neither you nor 1 knew just when one would dart out on one of the avenues in your path Your practice is getting too common, altogether, In Seattle. CHIEF SEATTLE. - To Conductor No. 271, Ravenna Line Dear Ding-Ding: Thanks for calling mo back to get my change Fri- day morning. You might have pocketed it as easily as not, for my mind, due to an old man's failing, was far away at the t Instictinve honesty is always gratifying to me. CHIE ATTLE, _ To My Water Pipes Shivering Conduits: Please accept my commendation for the gentle manty manner in which you have conducted yoursdif all thru this cold spell, You must have been sorely tempted to freeze up, but nary once did you go back on me, ‘Thanks awfully CHIEF SEATTLE To Seattle Johnsons Dear Folks: What an unthinkable proposition—a Johnson in the White House!” shrieks an editorial in the evening Long Blast. Now, for the sake of law and order, my dear Johnsons, keep in line and don’t crowd. And remember that eggs are valuable. CHIEF SEATTLE. To Smith Building Elevator Operators Dear Sheiks: After using about all the elevators in the city for a good many years, [ believe you boys « of the beat service in town, and I thought it might not be amias t ip you a word of appreciatic In spite of the “ups and downs” of elevating, you are always cheerful, courteous and accommodating, and your efficlency is second to none, And don't let the cat out of the bag, boys, but really, as far as service goes, I prefer men operators to women. Muth's the word CHIEF SEATTLE. To Mr. and Mrs. Seattle and Family Dear Folks: Didn't you feel sort of ashamed of yourselves, those of you who complained that it was sort of cold in our city last week, when you read in Eastern dispatches that the thermometers were regis- tering from zero to 30 degrees below in the Middle-West and East, while the temperature here dropped to but a few points below the freesing mark during the coldest hours here? CHIEF SEATTLE. To the Sylvan Wildernesses : Beloved Mountains and Forests: Now you are bedded in the downy blankets of snow, but soon the wooded dells will hum to the music of tinkling water as the chinook winds come and bring out the blossoms and buds of spring. Even the short period you are shut off from me ts ‘& trial, and speed the day when I can again wander in your peaceful depths and gaze upon your restful mightini CHIEF SEATTLE. To the Ducks of Skagit Flats Poor Birds: They are slaughtering you for the last time over the week-end, until next hu . your ranks, to be filled by oth ern frosts. How unsportsmanlike ating these days of nutom: shotguns and bird-shot. In my youth I stalked you with bow an row and killed only to assuage the «ni ger of my squaw and papooses.
