But" we answered, "our machine
serves us nicely and suits us well, and We
do not care for another
The agent, however, begged the privilege
of leaving one of his machines with lis, 80:

The request was not unreasonable so W.
granted it--but more to obligc the agent
than anything clae for we really did nj"

TURN THE RAsOALs OUT.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The following
official order has been made:
1t appearing that certain persons have been
practicing systematic frauds on ex-union SOL
diers and their widows and orphans OF other
heirs by making false representations concern
ing pension claims and extorting illegal fees
for services pretended to nave been or promis-
ed to be rendered, and this department having
reason to believe that some postmasters have
been aiding these fraudulent claim agents by
furnishing them lists OF names of ex-union
soldiers and others supposed to be entitled to
pensions, and also by distributing their unad-
dressed circulars among that class;
therefore, postmasters are forbidden, here
after, to furnish such lists or to distribute any
circulars of the kin indicated, unless they
are addressed to some Individual, and are
prepared as required by law. lSigned.l

Postmaster General.
