MAILING LETTERS.
One Trick That Doesn't Go With the
Postal Officials.

There are times when, for one rea-
son or another, you may wish to post
a letter to some one, indicating In
the postmark on the envelope that it
came from some other than your own
home town. But accordingly, as you
value the scheme which you are try
ing to work, don't make the mistake
of trying to work the postmaster of
that particular town into this .partic-
ular scheme of posting the letter for
you. In anything, from harmless
practical joke up to a penitentiary
offense which you may be planning
the postal service will recognize il
you only a scoundrelly intent to de-
ceive and defraud, and it has school
ed every postmaster in the country
into that fixed belief upon which ht
must act.
For example, you have written YOU
letter, which you desire to appear as
having been mailed at particular
postofice somewhere in the United
States. You seal it, stamp the en-
velope and address it to the person
This letter you inclose in a larger
envelope to the postmaster Of thai
particular town with the written re-
quest, "Please post the inclosed let
ter at your Office"
The postmaster will do this. Oh
yes.
The postmaster, taking up the di-
rected, stamped and sealed envelope
writes across the corner of the en-
velope a full explanation of the mat
ter reciting that it was received from
Mr.. So-and-so at a certain place
asking that the postmaster drop it in
to the mail as originating at that par
ticular jurisdiction.
Nice little situation, isn't it,
