Postmaster General Wanamaker
evidently appreciates the maner in
which newspaper publishers are
frequently beaten out of money by
small-souled Subscribers. He recent

suddenly discover that he doesn't
want it and requests the post mas
ter to order it discontinued without
their having paid up their subscrip-
ton.
