Travellers Must Re Content.

In some parts of the southern states,
where, happily for them, the people
are not in such q ceaseless hurry as peo.
pie are in the nervous north, no one
thinks of exacting punctuality from

they come, and arrive when they get
there, and are content.

The Cancelled Stamp GRACE.

EDITOR News, DEAR SIR:-I desire TO
call your attention to clipping enclosed
headed from Washington in TO days
Courier-Journal, and would suggest that
you publish same in this weeks News.
This stamp "chain" struck here first
about two months ago, through a letter
OF the chain addressed to me. Presum-
ing il TO be legitimate, sent 800 stamps
and wrote three letters as requested. In
the last ten days three other parties in
this vicinity have received "chain let
tiers" from different sections OF the
country which goes TO show that the
situation grows worse instead Of better.
Yours,
q. G.. LEWIS.
Following is the clippings
Washington, Feb, 23.-The scheme
OF friends OF Edna Kane and Mettie Cor
man, Of Kaneyille, ILL.,, in institutng a
"chain" of letters seeking cancelled
postage stamps for the benefit OF the
latter, a cripple has resulted in an in
vestigation by postofiice inspector, and
the report has been forwarded TO Post
master General Bissell. The scheme has
caused great annoyance TO the postal
service, aggravated by a new chain in
augurated at FL Paso. Tex, in a mock
expression Of sympathy for the post
master, whose office has been flooded
with mail as a result. The number Of
Cancelled stamps found in the room Of
the beneficiary of the system is estimated
at Il, 100000, and the report says that
farmers boys supplied with sacks have
carried off many letters. The mails
have not only comprised letters, but
boxes and bundles carrying between
1000 and 10000 cancelled stamps
"There are enough idiots throughout
the country" says the inspector, ito
swamp the Office with the stamp letters,
driving the postmaster to an insane
asylum. The present situation lie ridicu-
lous for all concerned, and will likely
end in a grand bonfire of 1900 900
stamps already received"
The scheme, he concludes, has demon
allied the Office. aud the good OF the
service demands an immediate remedy
The issuance OF fraud order prohib-
ting the use Of the mails is recommend
ed, but the report has not yet been acted.
