How Letter May Be Recalled.

The public is not as familiar with its
privileges about postal matters as might
be supposed, says the Boston Transcript.
Many times people would like to recall
a letter after it has been mailed. This
can be done, even if the letter has reach
ed the paslnffce of it's destination. AT
every postuffice there are what are called
withdrawal blanks - On application
they will be furnished, and when de-
post is made TO cover the expense, the
postmaster will telegraph to the post
master at the letters destination asking
that it be promptly returned. The APP
plicant first signs this agreement: 1T
is hereby agreed that, if the letter is re-
turned to me, l will protect you from
any and all claims made against you
for such return and will fully indemni-
fly you for any loss you may sustain by
reason of such action. And | herewith
deposit s. to cover all expenses incur
red and will deliver to you the envel-
ope of the letter returned" In many
cases persons have made Temittances to
fraudulent parties or irresponsible firms,
not learning their true character until
after the letter had gone, and have sue
ceeded in recalling them.

EDGED ON THE DOCTOR.
A NAPOLEON of Finance Meets His Water
loo In New Hampshire.

A Napoleon of Finance Meets His Water
loo In New Hampshire.
An itinerant corn doctor took posses
sion of the public square in Charles
town. N. Fl one evening and proceed
ed to transact business which was of
land office dimensions while it lasted.
But he closed up early.
Eggs were flying at him from all di
rections, and he was sorry looking
sight when he reached the friendly shell
ter of tie hotel.
He had imposed upon the confidence
of the unsophisticated, and the shower
of eggs was their way of expressing
their righteous indignation.
The doctors" modus Operandl was
something like this: He had corn
salve that was unequaled and unap-
proachable in its virtues. He wished to
advertise it and would for 10 cents give
a sample of the salve and check, on
the presentation of which later he would
give present.
The "present" end of it caught many
who were old enough to know better and
several children, but great was their
surprise when on presenting their checks
they were handed Is cents as present.
This was making money very fast.
Each purchaser had realized 30 per cent
on his investment. The doctor had ar
ticle No. 2 to advertise and would also
give present to every purchaser who
would pay 20 cents for sample.
Those who had bought one package
of No. l took two and three OF article
No. 2 and were given checks, as in the
previous instance OF course they
thought this man who gave them 10
cents for 10 would certainly give them
at least So for %.
But he didl't.
He probably thought he had gone
the limit ard when the spectators
presented their checks they were given
a bit of taffy candy by the smiling doc
tor, who said, II told you ! would give
you present, and have done so, and
while he continued to give them the
laugh they began to see the Joke. y
Several of those on the outside of the
crowd got their heads together and then
went to nearly provision store and in
vested all the money they had in eggs,
and the less modern they were the more
desirable for their purpose.
When they returned, the voluble doc
tor was telling his audience not to feel
bad over the matter. He had, he said,
travelled a great deal and had 'got it in
the neck" himself and never complained.
Well, just then he got it in the neck,
and in the back, and on the head, and
in several other places. There was a
perfect shower of eggs.
The doctors smile vanished, and he
did not stand upon the order of going,
but got quickly. He made So or So, but
he needed new suit of clothes. -Bos-
ton Globe.
