Recalling a Mailed Letter.

Many times people would like to re-
call a letter after it has been mailed.
This can be done even if the letter has
reached the postofice of it's destina-
ton. At every postoffice there are what
are called Withdrawal blanks" On
application they will be furnished. and
when deposit is made to cover the
expense the postmaster will telegraph
to the postmaster at the letters desti-
nation asking that 1t be promptly re-
turned. The applicant first signs this
agreement: "It is hereby agreed that,
if the letter is returned to me, l will
protect you from any and all claims
made against you for such return and
will fully indemnify you for any loss
you may sustain by reason Of such ac
ton. And l herewith deposit s. to
cover all expenses incurred and will
deliver to you the envelope of the let
ter returned" In many cases persons
have made remittances to fraudulent
parties Or irresponsible firms, not learn
ing their true character until after the
letter had gone, and have succeeded In
recalling them.-BostOn Transcript.

ladies' and urges the formation OF a
Civic League in the following
language;
TO THE LADIES OF AMARILLO.
You are probably aware of the
movement which is now on foot to-
wards the securing of sidewalks
and a park, for our city, and | am
sure that you realize the necessity
Of this much needed improvement.
The city council has passed an
ordinance, which is published in
this weeks Herald but wish to
call your attention to the fact that
there are certain Statutory Laws
in Texas, regarding homesteads,
which will greatly hinder us in the
strict enforcement Of this ordin-
ance, and as Mayor of Amarillo, |
request you, individually, to meet
me at the court house, June 18th,
at q p. M, for the purpo of or
ganizing a Ladies Civic League
who will cooperate with me in the
sidewalk proposition, building of a
park and the general improvement
and identifying of our streets.
You will agree with me, when !
say that a public park would be Of
more benefit at this period of ANA
rillo's history than at any other
time. 1t would be a place for our
boys and young men to 60, whereas
they now go elsewhere. 1t would
be a place of innocent amusement,
and in my opinion it is one of the
best ways of saving the boys, and
| assure you it will save the officers
of the law great deal of trouble.
1t would be a happy meeting place
for our children, a nice resort for
our visitors, and the pride Of our
worthy citizens
There are many other important
matters IN which you ladies can as
sst US, especially in devising ways
of keeping our city clean. We
should do this much from a sani-
tary point of view, and better still,
if Cleanliness is next to Godli-
ness" we should have double mo-
tive in seeing that the general con-
dition of our city is what it should
be.
cordially ask all who have the
interest and welfare of our city at
heart, to meet with me at four
o'clock at the court house next
Monday, to discuss these important
matters.
Yours very truly,
