THE UNCERTAIN
MAIL
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.
T'VE seen a good deal in the news-
papers from time to time with ref
erence to the certainty that if you
drop a letter into the mall box at the
corner of your street, It will be de
livered to the proper person, but I
don't believe it.
I feel somewhat as Mark Twain
said he did regarding the notice of
his death which he read in a country
newspaper; I think the reports have
been greatly exaggerated. I've reaO
something to the effect that not m..re
than ofle letter out of a million ulti
rnately goes astray, and that that one
has a good chance of being run tp
cover by some epistolary sleuth' in the
dead letter office; but I've watched
the thing, and I'll have to be shown.
I had a few hours of unexpected
leisure one day last summer, and (Ml
Ing more than ordinarily kindly to
ward the human race 1 used it to

who, It seemed to me, had done some
thing that merited attention or w a

one from McXlnley, a shy little cotm
try freshman, and a gracious ploasan
one from Rullard whom most people
at Hrst sight might have though'
crude. I could scarcely have expected
cither to reply.
Now the thing that convinces m
that all this talk about the roliabilit
of the mails is wrong Is the fact tha
I did not hear, from those other It
letters.

man with a past like that behind him
couldn't neglect to acknowledge u
simple little note.
