Mailmen Have Right to Kick About Pennies in the Box.

Some months ago the poetoffice department Issued an order against the placing of unstamped letters and pennies in the mail boxes. , The ruling was to the effect that the mail carrier was not expected to dig down into the box for pennies and place stamps on envelopes. Some patrons, however, have failed to heed the admonition and some carriers have kept on digging out the pennies and licking the stamps. This practice should be stopped/ however, and carriers are said to be organizing to refuse to do it, but to leave all such letters and money in the boxes. Persons sending letters should wait for the carriers, or wbat is toetter, keep themselves .supplied with stamps, buying them as nearly as possible of the carrier, so that the route may receive credit for the business.
