Only one nore-favor can be asked Of the gov
ernment by the postal card enthusiasts now that
permission has been granted to write messages
on the address side of souvenir cards. The last
favor is that the officials prohibit mailing clerks
from cancelling the scenery and sentiment lithO-
graphed on the back Of such postal cards Many
a childs heart has been broken by the inky sur
charge upon a cherished postal chrome. Many
a cruel misunderstanding has been created by
making tender messages illegible. Let the in

1t is too bad that Mr.. Bailey did not name
