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.
