JUST BE GLAD.
0 heart of mine, we shouldn’t
Worry so!
What we’ve missed of calm, we
couldn’t
Have you know!
What we’ve met > - tormy pain
And of sorrow’s I'.oving rain,
We can better meet again,
If it blow!
We have erred in that dark hour
We have kno n,
When our tr; fell with the shower,
All alone—
Were not me and shower blent
As the cious master meant?—
Let ur t .nper our content
With His own.
For we know, not even morrow
an be sad:
forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming year
Just be glad.
—James Whitcomb Riley.

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT
FLINGS WARNING TO WOULD
BE MONEY ORDER CASHERS
The Post Office Department at
Washington is calling attention of
all merchants, banks and others to
the danger of cashing money orders
for parties not personally known to
them. There is an unusual activity
displayed by money order thieves and
forgers, and it has been noted that
the greater number of losses on ac
count of cashing spurious orders have
fallen on banks merchants and others
business men. In most instances the
losses are due to the fact that the
same care is not used in the accep
tance of postal money orders as in
personal checks or other negotiable
paper. In many cases the mere fact
that an order is drawn on a form
provided for that purpose by the
Government is taken as sufficient evi
dence that it represents a valid obli
gation on the part of the Post Office
Department, regardless of the identi
ey of the person by whom it is pre
sented.
It is best not to cash any money
orders unless the party presenting
same is known personally to be the
same as the one to whom the order
is made payable, as the party cash
ing a spurious order or one for wrong
party will be the loser of the amount.
Attention is also called to the fact
that it is highly important for those
cashing money orders, even where it
is for proper parties, to see that the
proper indorsements or transfers are
made on the orders. The regulations
in this respect are very simple,
spaces are provided for proper in
dorsements and cannot be handled
by the department or local post office
until fixed in the right manner. This
latter provision is so often ignored
by the public and business men and
causes no end of confusion.
The money order business is es
tablished by the department for the
convenience of the public, but of
cours-o must be worked by some sys
tem to insure the carrying out of
its purpose and for the protection of
the revenues and funds.
