AN ENDLESS CHAIN

BOTHERS MAIL MEN

Endless prayers are causing the post office clerks endless trouble. An endless chain of letters, post cards, etc., are being sent through the local post office daily. The scheme is to mail an anonymous letter each day for nine days to a friend, reproducing an old prayer, which is centuries old, and dates back to the pagan worship. This is said to bring good luck to the one who complies with the provisions of the prayer. This species of mail matter is not mailable, and all such communications stop at the post office, when detected by the clerks. Uncle Sam does not believe in burdening the postal clerks with nonsense.
