Never buy any atampa : hand vour
ettar to the Postmaster and tell htm
to put a stamp on it ' If you are oat
of change, tall him yon will hand it to
him the next time -von come in : it
won't be necessary, however, to 'do so.
aa three eents are nothing, i When you
hand in your letter, do not .forget to
tell the Postmaster to, be sure and have
it go. If you don't tnve this warn i no
bs may keep it in the office. Always
remember to call tha Postmaster and
hand your letters to him, and not pot
them in the letter-box. . If you do, the
'ostmaster will be mad and never for
give you. ' Remember that the Post
master wowd consider it Very unkind
to have your latter stamped by any one
bat himself. He will be pleased to
put wrapper a paper and back them
for you, ceaaionaljyor-oftenor, espe
cially when be is busy distributing maiL
When you put in a letter it is well to
ask him how long before you will get
aa answer to it , Of course be ought
to know er he ia not fit for the posi
tion. When the mail islanded out to
you, don't forget to ask if that U all,
because tha Postmasters are in tha
habit! of holding back part of one's
mail,, which, of course, they will not do
after this question is asked. ' If an' ex
pected lettor don't come, ask him what
ne suppose is the matter, and tell him
it is mighty Strang that letter doesn't
come, A Postmaster ought to know
what u wrong in such, eases after being
in the business a few .months. It" u

m, YoUi might, hint to him ab that
your luster must.,, be in ; the post-office
somewhere.. .That, kind of insinuation
always makes him fell so jubilant' If
the man of the house don't get a letter
it would be well enough . to send the
rest of the family on at a time ; there
is n telling which might be the . lucky
onfc . ,Each , one should be instructed
to ask the Po-tmaster if he is sure
there is nothing, this will tend to crush
aa angelic disposition in the most cross
grained Postmaster.. Always fill your
mouth with smoke from your pipe and
puff it in the Postmaster's face when
you ask for.,. maiL.JThat .makes him
happy. And then hold your cigar so
the Braoke will blow in his face while
you 'stand at the 'window."' On a
cold day be sure and leave the outside
