Kendall, Montana, November 18, 1902. 7. 0, • POSTMASTER'S TROUBLES letters illustrating another phase of carelessness. One of them was mail- ed at the Broezel house and the oth- er at the Iroquois, and both evidently were addressed by business men. The Thousands of L:tters Travel Back and Forth in Search of the Perscn for WIK.m They Are Inten - led. Occasionally one reads of queer things which have been found in Un- cle Sam's mails—snakes, lizards and toads, which have gone astray by crawling out of insecure packages, and an army or inanimate oddities which could only be enumerated in a catalogue of all the small things in the world, says the Bunslo News. Curiosities of this sort have been unknown in the local postoffice, but it boasts a long array of faulty ad- dresses, many of which are as queer as anything material and much More troublesome. Letters, toe destination of which is shrouded in mystery until they are finally delivered, are receiv- ed daily. • C. A. Watson, chief of the inquiry department of the Burrs.lo postoffice, passes upon hundreds of those letters every year, and when he cannot solve them they go to the dead letter office at Washington. Illegible aduresses are eliminated from the thousand3 of letters handled at the postonice by a gradual process. Many are thrown aaide temporarily by the clerks and are sent in tne in- quiry division, called, in the parlance of the clerks, the \nixie\ division. ' Here Mr. Watson puzzles over them until he discovers a clew which he thinks may help to disclose the real destination of the letter. If he is sat- isfied that he is on the right track a trill is made and the letters are . sent on. Often they are delivered. If Mr. Watson is unable to find a clew the letter is sent on to Washington, where the experts in the department there struggle with it. Recently Mr. Watson was asked Ii he had any curiosities in his desk. He brought out a bundle containing a score of mis-eirected, illegible and partly addressed envelopes which rep- resented the work of his department for a few days. \Everything illegible within a rad- ius of 600 miles is sent in here,\ said Mr. Watson, \and we have some hard nuts to crack. When we fall there is the dead letter office remaining.\ Bad spelling accounts for more er- rors than any other deficiency In ad- dresses, although illegible writing, bau paper and pale ink are a close second. An Italian w.... a friend in Yonkers addressed a letter to \Yen germ\ and the letter recovered quick- ly from the oad ape. and Was deliv- ered. • Another had a frightful time trying to spell Hoboken, and when he had scrawled across the length of the en- velope it read like this: \Ohochine. filnegiorge.\ Wise postmen delivered it in New Jersey. Several letters for near by points were included in the package. Corfu was written Crof View, Oakfleld as Ok I'll, Fonda as Fanto, and Inlaff as Inlet. Batavia is a stumbling block for a poor speller, and two letters intended fcr that thriving little city were ad- dressed to \Pat\ and \Betewioo.\ Scores of letters go to Boston, N. Y., because the senders are in the habit of writing \N. Y.\ and do not stop to write \Mass.\ 'After a delay they reach their' protAr destination. In the comparatively small bundle displayed by Mr. Watson were two former was intended to go to Worces- ter, Mass., but the only thing to In- dicate it was a \'W\ at the beginning of tne word and a street address to be found only in that city. The Iro- quois letter was to be delivered in Tionesta, Pa., as was finally guessed from the length of the word.
