THE Postofice Department daily re-
i ceives hundreds of complaints
caused by the losses of packages and
money. Mails are easy to rob, but few
postal thieves ever escape final de-
lection; they are sure to be entrapped
and punished in the end. While speak
ing of these numerous complaints, an
old detective. called inspector. Of the
Postofice Department said: mo
thief is harder to catch than the one
who robs Uncle Sans mail. The
methods of such thieves are ingenious,
the plunder Is easily hidden or de-
stroyed, and their rascality is well
masked by the honesty and integrity
of associates.
"Postoffice thieves are not arrested
every day. although valuable letters
and other articles are stolen almost
daily and an army of shrewd inspec-
tors are on the alert Positive proof
of guilt must be In the possession of
the inspector before an arrest is made.

MI WASHINGTON.-O of the mighty
w few instances on record of the
United States having been done" in
its cash accounts came to light at
the treasury department the other day
IN decision handed down by the con-
troller OF the treasury. In this par
ucular instance the government Is
snort more than $4,000 and has no
way of helping itself. 1t became a
victim through the carelessness of its
own officers, and the victimization,
TOO. was not criminal in it's nature.
Prior to 1879 the late Samuel ],
Little of Georgetown owned four GER
t1icates of 6 per cent. stock of the
old corporation Of Georgetown. Upon
his death he left a life interest in the
stock to his sister, Mrs. Eliza A,
Ricketts,, and the residue to his minor
children, j. c. Little and Julia A,
Little. In the settlement of the case
before the probate court the actual
possession of the four certificates OF
stock was passed to Mrs. Ricketts,, SO
that she might collect from the treas.
urer, from time to time, the interest
due her
Shortly after this United States
Treasurer Gilfllan issued a circular
calling upon all holders of George
town corporation stock, which was

The treasurer refused redemption

then asked the first auditor of the

days. to approve the Endorsement. but

treasury and obtained the desired ap-

Accordingly the treasurer paid Mrs.
Ricketts, s4.012 principal and 1928 in
terest.
In 1894 Julia A. Burnell, formerly
Julia A. Little, the daughter of Sam
uel ]. Little, made claim for the $4.-
021.23, alleging that it had been er-
roneously paid to Mrs. Ricketts,. who
had a life interest only. The claim
was disallowed by the treasury. Mrs.
Burnen and her husband then entered
suit for the amount before the court
Of claims. A year ago they obtained
judgment for the amount, and in the
deficiency act of June 25. 1910, ap-
preparation was made to pay this
claim, along with others.
Mrs Burnell has been fighting for
sixteen years to secure the money
she thought was hers and is just now
coming into her own, while the gov
ernment Is out over $4,000.

large squares or in single flowers that
necessarily vary in shape, but tend
toward general roundness as a whole.

in these illustrations. They belong to
all who care to trace or transfer them
and to the more experienced, who can
enlarge them. They will be found ap-
plicable to lampshada panels, to such
small articles as the fancy-work bag.

For a Bride-EIect.

So many Of my letters are from Just
the dearest girls in the world who
count themselves among the bread
winners; and every once and while
some one Of them is married, and
then all her good friends want to do
all they can IN way of showers and
wedding gifts. When such an occa-
sion comes / have many queries as to
how and what should be done. Now
did when one of their number was to
marry a young doctor with very little
money but a splendid fellow for all
that They called a meeting and de-
cided that at the most three dollars
apiece was all they could spare for
both wedding gift and a shower, so 1t
resolved itself into this admirable
plan. They invited the bride-to-be to
spend a Saturday afternoon with them
at the home of one of the girls and,
when the tea was served, they pre-
sented the honored guest with a half
dozen teaspoons, half dozen forks
and half dozen pearl-handled knives
and told her this was her wedding
present from the ten. They selected
a stock pattern, so that at any time
more silver could be added, and they
left the marking to be done as the
bride wished. think this was a most
sensible and satisfactory thing all
around and the combination of funds
made fine showing, much more prac-
tical than If each girl had tried to put
her three dollars into a separate gift.
