Important Postal Change.

Washington, April Am arrange
ment has just been concluded between
the United States and Canada under
which all postal moneys sent between
this country and Canada will go at the
domestic rate of three-tenths of l per
cent instead of the international rate of
1 per cent as at present. This conces-
sion is regarded as more important to
the money order business than any ac-
ton taken since the inception of the
system. Negotiations had been in
progress for some time between the re-
spective postal administrations looking
to the further unification of the postal
systems of the United States and Can
ada with respect to the money order
business.

A Question of Whether to Offend
Guests or Risk Losing Money.
The hotel clerk was standing behind
the desk, with a disconsolate look on
his face.

Matter" said the clerk. "Why, It's
the same old story. I've been stuck for
another check. This check business
causes us hotel clerks more trouble
than anything else in the world. There
Is q general rule in hotels that no
checks shall be cashed, but very often
travellers run short of money. 1t is
good business policy to cash these
checks when you can be sure that
they're all right No hotel can afford
to be continually offending guests. AT
the same time, if clerk cashes bad
check he has to stand the loss.
1.-THE average hotel clerk has learned
by bitter experience to be pretty good
judge of human nature, but every now
and then he slips up. Only week ago
a big, splendid looking fellow came to
me and got me to cash check for $40.
/ sized him up and decided that he was
all right and that he was a good man
to keep among the steady patrons of
the hotel. A few days later back came
the check, with No funds marked
across it. The result was that 1 was
out $40"
While the clerk was talking swag-
ger looking woman came up to the
desk and, smiling sweetly at the clerk,
said:
"Will you please cash this little
checkf"
The clerk was all graciousness. He
took the check and examined it care
fully without saying anything.
"Oh, it's all right" said the woman,
"Of c, nrse, if you don't want to cash it
you needn't. Mr.. So-and-so knows me
quite well, and you can telephone him
about 1t if you want to, but 1t would
save me great deal Of trouble If you
could cash it for me now"
Certainly, madam" said the clerk,
and then he went over and held a con-
sultation with the cashier.

ey She went away smiling, and then
the clerk said:
"Now, there Is just about an even
money chance. If hadn't cashed that
check, she would have been highly in
suited and would have talked about

Der. If she is all right, she will be a
good customer, but if she isn't am out
