UNCLE SAM CAN'T LOSE.
st. Louis Portnl Clerk Must Make
Good nm Ovcrpnid Money Order.

M Associated rrcss)
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.--Thomas owen
Berry has been receiving from relatives,
at regular intervals. post office money
orders. the amount each time being SIS.
Yesterday Berry went into the Post
Office to cash one of these orders. The
amount. s25 as usual, was not written
plainly, the first word looking more like
seventy" than twenty"
Clerk Skidmore, after CHANGING at the
paper, gave Berry an order on the
cashier of the department for S75, which
Berry promptly cashed.
Some time, afterwards the discrepancy
was noticed. and in the afternoon
searchers who had been sent out after
Berry returned with that gentleman.
He admitted that he had received $5C
more than his order called for, but said
that he would not pay it back, and
asked: What are you going to do about
it,"
His question Is poser, for 1t seems
that there is neither Federal nor State
law covering the case.
AS the case now stands, Clerk Skid
more Is responsible to the Government
for the $50, and there is no way In which
Berry can be punished.
