aged to get around. Considerable surprise has
been felt at the decision to shut the grounds
against visitors on Sunday. The action was
taken with the view OF obtaining for the resi-

Many people during the summer would doubt

THE srAMPER's RESPONSIBILITY.

The stamper is an individual whose import
ance cannot be pnderestimated, aud his re-
sponsibilities are as much those of his fellows
His postmark is expected to be clear and well
defined. The necessity for a good postmark
has often shown its value to the government in
cases of suits at law brought into the courts, or
in the settlement of complaints with the pub
lie. He has TO be very careful in stamping
so that he does not cancel washed stamp or
any other stamp than that legally authorized
A Zealons stamper can save the government
many dollars loss yearly from the ignorance of
people or from those purposely trying to
cheat the post Office out OF triting sums. He
also judges the proper postage upon mail
matter and rates the same should it be
deficient Every stamper has his number
upon his canceling stamp. and thus if
he makes poor impression or fails in
properly handling his letters and other matter
he soon hears from his oversight. book is
kept on which every change of his stamp is
kept, and this is also a detection from whose
clutches he finds no escape. He controls two
important stamps, which are used one
for letters brought in by letter carriers
and the other for letters deposited at the
drop boxes at the city post office. Anything
wrong about the letters can thus be narrowed
tells the hour when be brought the letters in
from the boxes, and it indicates whether he
properly collects from the street boxes at the
regularly appointed times.
TUE NEW CLERKS PROGRESS.
The clerk starting out anew in the postal
business begins like an apprentice at the bot
tom Of the ladder, and II he fails in any improve
ment he is likely to stick At the bottom. There

Delays, therefore, in such instances can be I'M
derstood. The post office cannot be expected
to interpret what person meant 10 do when
the address on the envelope shows a contrary
idea The delivery division is closely identified
with the citizen and this fact is often
shown by the lengthy sarcastic letter that
the cltzen sends the postmaster regarding
delayed letter. The letters reaching this di-
vision are Immediately postmarked the date and
hour OF arrival, SO that any Que receiving a
letter can tell the time when il was mailed bv
the postmaster ON the front of the envelope
and the time it was received by
looking on the back. Often letters are
received marked due SO much. This
means that there was not sufficient postage
originally paid and more is needed before they
can be delivered. The carelessness of people
IN not putting sufficient amount of postage
on mail matter or writing out in plain man
ner the proper address has caused the govern
ment to expend large sums of money for
stamps TO be used to call the attention of the
public to this class of persons.
TIE LETTER CARRIER.
The letter carrier is essential party to this
division. His duties require care onhis part to
protect the interest Of the government, though
the latter is keen enough to shoulder the re-
sponsibiiity upon the man in gray" This
fact is impressed upon every postal clerk or
docs not the time soon comes when he is made
to feel, that his acts are placed upon his
back and he must bear the burden of them.
The carrier finds out that his judgment must
be his guide at all times, and that when knotty
problem confronts him the advice he seeks
makes him feel as much puzzled as he was at
the outset.
mistake on his part often costs heavy fine,
and one or two such fines are only needed to
make the most Indifferent feel like bracing ND
and learning the ropes. 1t is no easy matter
that of delivering letters to people. Often car
riers do SO and feel fear afterward that some
after clap will arise.
REGISTRY AND MONEY ORDER DIVISIONS
Much could be said of the registry division
and the money order division. In both these
places the strictest discipline is enforced and
the severest sort of red tape exists. Clerks
check each other in the handling of their mat
ter and no system is better protected than this.
10 get ahead of this system requires q very
skilled head, but it very soon gets nipped
The safeguards surrounding the mails, from
the minute the government receives them until
delivered, are unsurpassed; only fool. or one
whose brain Is demented would ever undertake
| TO rob the mails or rifle them while in their
| charge Both clerks and letter carriers are under
surveillance all the time, and they are tried in
every way that the human mind can
scheme. II may be said in truth that no
clerk or employe is considered or held to be
honest while postal employee. The methods
| to catch suspect are many and he would be
| q relative Of oil. Nick il he could possibly e.
cape the traps set for him.

other proof that the tastes Of the thegt-
rical going people does not run, as has
been TO often said, to farce comedy and
sensational plays. Strong situations
and dramatic scenes caa be cone as we'll

as thew can be in rough cabin scenes

comedy can be invoked In refined way
as in loud mannerisms and grin,aces.
