New Postoffice Ruling.

The postoilice department has decid.
ed that children going to and from
school shall not be allowed to get their
parents mail, so do not blame the post
master il your children are refused the
mail. The postoflice habit among chill
dren has become a nuisance both to the
public and the postmaster, and tho de-
