 and Sued for a Divorce,

St. Louis, Mo. = The story of the young wife's silent discontent with the loneliness of a ranch, her grow ing longing for society and the sud den realization by her husband of her attitude, is outlined in the reply of Henry W.

POSTAL FRAUDS EXPOSED.
Heavy Losses Discovered by Lack of
 System in Money Order Branch.

Washington, D. C. Confronted with a statement by Henry Castle, former auditor for the postoffice de- partment, that the government for long time had lost an average of s1,000 daily through error and fraud in the money order system, the congressional commission which is inquiring into postal methods has gone far enough to decide that important reforms are necessary in the conduct of the serv- ice.
 The postoffice for years has been without the system of checks and bal. ances known to every efficient private business enterprise. Before steps were token to correct this deficit a post master in western town, for instance, might issue a money order for $100 to be paid in New York. He would re- ceive the S100 from the applicant and notify the postmaster at New York by the usual means that he had issued an order for S100. But in reporting to the department he migh state that the order issued was only for S1. The sys- tenn was such that the fraud would not be detected, for the western post masters order to the postmaster in New York and his report to the de- partment were not brought together for comparison.
