LAW AND THE LETTER.
What Everybody Should Know
About the Law and a Mail

youths comprni5n.l
A letter once mailed no longer be-
long to the sender, but Is the prop
erty OF to whom II Is addressed. Such
IS the postal law, but il is a law often
violated by postmasters In small places
where correspondents are very likely
TO be personally known to the postof-
tice authorities, and sometimes leads
to complications in large ones where
this Is not the case.
Important business interest have
been affected by the same law, A firm
which had been long insolvent had
succeeded in keeping the knowledge
from the public, and continued to re-
ceived money from investors, which
the partners employed dishonesty for
their own advantage. 1t was their
intention to raise one more large sum
of money, part of which was to be
contributed by business friend ofone
of them, and then to leave the country
with their spoil, and let their creditors
shift for themselves.
But the wife of the business friend
and the wife Of the friend who meant
to victimize him frequently corre-
sponded with each other, and the latter
wrote gossiping letter to the former,
in which she mentioned that her hus-
band had been in poor health lately
on account of business troubles, but
that she trusted that their appro ach-
ing trip to Canada would fully restore
his health.
Remembering, too late, that her
husband had asked her to mention
neither of these facts, and fearing to
vex him, she went to the postofIice to
recall the letter. The postmaster re-
fused to give it up. She could give no
good reason for demanding it, and be-
came petulent and irritated when he
continued to refuse. He remained
firm and the letter was Mt.
The recipient showed it to her hus-
band, whose suspicion it aroused. He
made an investigation. and as conse-
quence the dishonest firm was broken
up and the partners arrested and pun
ished.
Intercepted letters have long been
very popular theme of both drama and
romance. A letter which could not be
intercepted, but which had to go In
spite of the sender's express desire and
entreaty, might offer an interesting
variety.

A Girl Among the Wolves. =

The daughter Of the owner of the menag-
erie at Landsburg, Prussia, put six wolves
and hyena in large cage through per-
formance, when suddenly large wolf
jumped on the hyena and fastened its teeth
in its neck as though it would never pull
them out again. Immediately the other
animals became greatly excited, refusing
to obey the girl any longer. Her father
seeing the danger, ran into the cage. With
one powerful grip he pulled the wolf from
the hyena and cast him into corner. He
then belabored the brutes with his whip
as vigorously rs he was able, and succeeded
in chasing them all back into their soli-
tary cages. Both father and daughter es-
capped without a hurt.-Chicago Herald.
