special telegram to Springfield
paper from Marlboro. Mass. says:
Jedediah w. Wheeler, a member of
John A. Rawlins Post, GAR, says he
has proof that the United States mail
service is far from perfection. He has
postal card from Washington which
was on the road a little more than four
years.
Mr.. Wheeler received the card this
week. 1t was sent from the office Of
The National Tribune, and is dated
March 8, 1903. The date of the post
mark on the card in Washington is 6
o'clock p. M, March 4. 1903. Where
the card has been for more than four
years Mr.. Wheeler is entirely at loss
to know.
Mr.. Wheeler received the card a day
or two ago. and, upon looking it over
casually, he found 1t bore an acknowl-
edgment of the receipt of 81 from Mr.
Wheeler by The National Tribune.
The notice seemed strange to Mr..
Wheeler. and upon examining the card
more closely he found that he should
have received the card March 5. 1908.
The card is numbered 1892 and
bears the heading of The National Trib-
une. The date on the card is Wash
ington, D. c., 3-3. 1903" 1t reads:
Scar Sir: We thank you for yours
of recent date. inclosing 81. Your
orders will be promptly attended to-"
Then follows these Instructions: eff
you have future occasion to write us
about this remittance. be sure to men,
ton the above number or return this
card. This is necessary to insure a
prompt reply"
Then follows more instructions which
Mr.. Wheeler says he could have fol-
lowed four years ago, but he thinks he
will have some difficulty in doing so
now. Mr.. Wheeler thinks the card is
decided curiosity
The card is in almost perfect condi-
ton, and has evidently been handled
but little since it started, as it bears
only two post marks.
