Woman Fears that
Unstamped Letter
Would Make Trouble

The wholesome respect in which Uncle
Sans mails are held was well illustra-
ted i'm the case of a woman who called
up Postmaster Wharton Friday morning.
My husband works for the govern
ment and he has some franked envel-
opes," she said To-day I wrote a let
ter and, finding no other envelopes in
the house took one of his franked en-
velopes and gave my little boy money to
take the letter to the drug store to buy
stamp and put it on.
He lost the letter on the way and
I'm afraid some one will pick it up and
put It in a mail box and then I'll be
liable to be fined and imprisoned for
using franked envelope for personal
letter"
The postmaster assured her that she
would not need to fear Imprisonment or
fine.
III that is all you have to trouble YOU"
he said. you can sleep in peace"
However, she insisted on giving him the
address on the envelope and asked to
have the letter held up so she can pay
the postage.
STILL" he said, its a good thing she
tolephoned. II the letter had been de-
tected circumstantial evidence would
have been against her"
