he WAS ROBBED
BY UNCLE SAM
AT LEAST INDIGNANT CITIZENS
THINK HE WAS, AND
SAY SO.

Into Postmaster Southwerd's office
yesterday came striding ar Indignant
citizen to express his belief that the
postofice authorities are little better
than hoid-up men. and that he had
been "done" out of 30 cents. All the
attempts Of Clerk Field to placAte
him were unavailing. and Mr.. In
dignant Citizen departed OF the same
opinion still.
The trouble arose over the fact that
Mr.. /. G. did not know the rules con-
tanned in the regulations issued by
Postmaster-G Hitchcock, and
had placed ordinary mail stamps on
q parcel post package. The package
was held for postage and the sender
notified. He came bristling with anger
and could not be made to perceive
that the regulations must be obeyed.
How was to know that ordinary
stamps would not carry the package"
he demanded.
He was told to read the newspapers.
but this did not satisfy him. Appar-
entity he considered newspapers q poor
source Of Information. He departed
with the declaration that he would
take the matter up with somebody
else rulees he got his money back.
bur information as to whom he would
take the matter" up with was not
forthcoming.
