A story is told Of a resident Of a coun.

order to his Memphis merchant. The
latter did not receive the order, but got q
letter from his debtor stating that the
money order had been sent. On inves
tigation it turned out that the debtor
failed to enclose the money order in his
letter, he thinking it merely a receipt for
the money, and believing it the duty Of
the postmaster to send the necessary doc.
ument. The explanations were satisfac.
tory all around; the postmaster ceased
from being troubled, the merchant got
his money, and the debtor became a
wiser man.
