1t will probably he n matter of news

Office to know that the clerks and the

change for patrons when they max pur-
chase at Uncle Sans Office. This is a
queer rule that one in n thousand per-
sons knows. Buyers of stamps or any
purchases mt a postoffice must furnish
their WI change if he sees fit to do it;
but usually the postmaster is glad
enough to get rid of his chicken feed"
and he is always ready and willing to
accommodate the public by furnishing
all the change it asks for. If Il man has
a dollars and wants to buy only fifty
cents worth Of stamps. he, if the post
master did not care to make the change,
would be compelled to either change the
dollar. or get n dollars worth of stamps,
or he could do without. This is the law
and IL queer one to most of us. Again
clerks or postmastcrs are not required
to take more than twenty-five pennies
