ERROR IN A MONEY ORDER.
Frocess by Which the Post Office Cor
rects n Wrong Address

rects n Wrong Address.
Here is good tip on post Office mat
1ers: The other day young fellow
got postal order and gave the name
OF the payee wrong. The order should
have been made out to John Farrell
CHATS not his name) in Washington,
but by mistake his address was put
Gown as Baltimore. 1t was case of
hcterophemy or something of that kind,
says Washington paper.
There the employer went to the
proper window, and, having receipted
for the amount OF the money order,
he was sent to the cashier. 1t was as
III he'd been TO window \, and then was
sent to window c. vt c he presented
his receipted money order, adorned
with certain stamps and marks. and
there he received tie amount called
for by the order. Then, having made
out another and correct application, he
3oined the line at window j, got his
voucher, and for the second time went
TO the cashier at window c, where he
paid for and got his money order in
correct shape.
80 the mistake cost him three cents,
the expense of the first wrong money
order. He paid for one order, and got
the amount of the order back, though
not the charge for the order; then he
had to pay for another order. That
was all, and he had the experience.
Perhaps he's still in debt to Uncle Sam.

fhreed. Baron de Parana has obtained
enc and calls it the "zebroid." The
young animal is now six months old;
II Is a male of q bay color with stripes
similar to those of the zebra. These
stripes are well marked on the neck,
sfhe head and the legs; those of the body
pare not visible, because OF the thick
winter coat. The name is black and
iresembles that of the zebra; the tail
looks like mules, but has longer hair.
The ears are small with rounded points
like the zebra's. The haunch is well
formed, rounded, and quite large; the
chest is long and high, which makes the
animal hold it's head high. and conse-
Iquently gives it a good carriage. The
eyes are large and full of feeling; the
snnstrils large; the lips small and much
like those of Arab horses (the mare,

legs muscular, but delicate, showing

the preference is for navy blue. In
