POSTAL CLERK
On Trainsins Distant City Returns Pay
Envelope to Augusta MANI

How many would expect a pestai
clerk on a train in distant state
finding money which could not nave
come from any letter and which he
knew had no business in the mails TO
do everything in his power to ma the
loser? Those acquainted with the
clerks in the postal service wouiu
surely expect it, but those who have
heard only of their mistakes and
faults might be somewhat skeptical,
accordingly mention of a little incl
dent which occurred the other day
may be of interest.
One of the employees at local pub
fishing house was engaged in putting
mail in sacks that were to be sent TO
a distant state. While he was busy
his pay envelope was laid on the
table, and he not noticing it swept 1t
into a mail sack along with the
papers. This envelope was unsealed
and when on distant run in New
Jersey the postal clerk found it he had
every opportunity to put it into his
pocket and no questions asked. This
he sdid not do but turned it in at the
end of his run TO the proper authori-
ties Not only that, but noticing the
name on the pay envelope and the
name of the city from whence the
sack came he wrote to thesowner and
told him what he had done.
