have fixed a penalty of a 5000
fine on any person taking out of
the postofice mail other than
their own. All postmasters are
liable to make mistakes and get
the mail in the wrong boxes, and
the law says that people must ex-
anime their mail before leaving
the office and should they receive
a piece which is not addressed to
them it must be returned at once.
That it is the fault of the post
master makes no difference. This
law includes newspapers as well
as frst-class mail. There is d
class of curious people every
