Postmaster Wise says that Ihe package
received by TJrugglst Rogra. which was
thought to have been d'-layl somewhere
east eight years, bore posiaire .lamps
which wer Issued by the department
since the Columbian stnmps weie put out
iwo years ago, and that there must have
been some mistake In the matter. He
also says that packages are frequently
received addrexiKd to people who have
been dead for a number of years, or re
moved from Ihe city long ago. This Is
no doubt caused by patent medicine com
panies using old directories, and for this
reason there usually appears a request
on the package for the postmas'er to
hand the goods to some other firm.
