Postage Stamps.

A Partisan paper has set itself to
discover what becomes of the old
postage stamps-a question which
had vcxed the souls Of many curl
GUS persons on this side of the
channel. 1t was alleged that they
were collected for the defraudlng Of
the revenue, the post-marks being
obliterated and the stamps reused.
Obviously however, the small scale
upon which such a fraud could be
conducted would not account for
the millions of used stamps which
were known to be collected by the
converts. Itappears that the con
vents convert their pupils and their
pupils parents INTO collectors, and
when a million stamps have been
amassed and sorted as to countries
and values, they are sold to the
dealers in foreign stamps, who pay
from fourteen pounds to sixteen
pounds per million for them. 1t is
calculated that their retail sale and
export to other countries leaves
the dealer an average profit of
eighty-four poundspermillion. Phil
atelists will be interested in know
ing, on the authority Of our con-
temporary, that the one.franc
stamps of the Republic Of 1919 are
now so scarce that they command
about eight pounds each.

Making Love by Telegraph.

A romantic love affair, terminal
ing in a wedding, came to light at
Dayton, o. During the strike Of
Western Union telegraph opera
tors, two years ago. lady opera
tor, Cora LenOx, was brought here
from Union City to take the place
of striker. No one was quicker
to preceive her good qualities than
Lawrence Z. MoOnes, an operator
at the Cincinnati end of the wire.
He seemed TO know from the click
of the instrument that a pretty girl
was at the other end, and soon the
wires were used by the two to talk
love.
They were soon so well manipu-
lated that recently Mr.. MOoncs
took a trip to that city to make the
better acquaintance of the girl,
and on the Goth of last month he
went to Dayton, procured marri'
age license, and made the charming
operator Mrs. Moones. The we'd

An Advertisers Novel EIredlent.

One of the largest advertisers In
New York says We once hit up
OIL a novel expedient for ascertain
ing over what area our advertise
ments were read. We published
a couple of halt.column "ads" in
which we purposely misstated half
a dozen historical facts. In less
than q week we received between
800 and 400 letters from all parts of
the country from people wishing to
know why on earth we kept such
a consummate fool who knew so
little about American history. The
letters kept pouring in for three or
four weeks. Ii was one of the best
paying "ads" we ever printed. But
we did not repeat our experiment
because the one l refer to served
its purpose. Our letters came from
schoolboys, girls, professors, clergy.

An exchange culls the following
historical facts, which should Ell.
courage every young man strug-
Cling under discouragements and
poverty:
John Adams, second President,

moderate means. The only start
he had was a good education.
Andrew Jackson was born in n
log hut IN North Carolina, and was
raised in the pine woods for which
the State is famous.
James X. Polk spent the earlier
years of his life helping to dig a
living out of a farm in North Caro-
lima. lie was afterwards a clerk
in a country store.
Milliard Fillmore was the son OF
a New York farmer, and his house
was a very humble one. He learn
ed the business of a clothier.
James Buchanan was born in a
small town among the Allegheny
Mountains. His father cut the
logs and built his own house in
what WAS then a wilderness.
Abraham Lincoln was the son OF
a very poor Kentucky farmer, and
lived in a log cabin until he was
81 years Of age.
Andrew Jackson was apprentice
ed to tailor at the age of 10 years
by his widowed mother. He was
never able to attend school and
picked up all the education he ever
got.
Gen. Grant lived the life Of a
common boy in a common house
on the banks of the Ohio River
until he was Il years old.
James A. Garfield was born in a

The DREAM Of The AIMLESS.

| dreamt a dream in the morning,
When the shadows were dim and gray
And oh, such a prospect golden
Ger my shining pathway lay!
The earth was filled with gladness.
The air was filed with song,
And thought that but love and beaut,
Could inspire me all day long.
/ dreamt a dream at the noontide,
When half of the day was past;
The first half knew was barren,
But glorious I'd make the last;
But the world lay part in the shadow,
The songs were not half so sweet
And love and beauty were iieeting
Like shadows beneath my feet
/ droamt a dream at the even,
When the day its course had run,
And my heart grew sad within me
To think how little I'd done.
But said: 81 shall work tomorrow,
And make py name be known
Til the nations Of earth shall wonder,
As my mighty power they own
But alas and alas time passes,
The sun rises, shines and sets
Each morning so full Of promise,
Each even so full Of regrets
And day follows day more heetly,
While ambition and glory rave,
TIL, at last, outworn and aimless,
I shall sink in a nameless grave.

T0MBS OF THE MARSHALLS.

WASHINGTON, KY, Sept. l, 'S5.
While walking through the coun-
try few days since the writer
came across the old cemetery Of
the Marshall family. Pushing our
way through the tangled grass and
bushes, we soon came upon some
hoary monuments and tOmbs. Side
by side, under stone slabs mOuldy
with age, rest the father and moth
er of the great Chief Justice, John
Marshall. They have lain here so
long that the lettering Oh their
tombs is almost illegible. BY rub
bing and scraping we were enabled
to decipher the inscription on the
tomb of the father. Thinking it
might be of interest to some Of
your readers we send it herewith {:
"COL. THOMAS MARSHALL,
to whom this memorial is inscribed,
was born Oh the 23d of April, 1880.
termarried in his oath year with
Mary Keith, in her 18th year Of
age, by whom he had 10 children,
all Of whom arrived at maturity.
And after distinguishing himself
by the performance Of his duties as
husband, father, citizen and soldier,
died on the May, 1902, aged ~
years. etc.
Col. Marshall was an officer in
the Revolutionary war, and came
here from Virginia sometime in the
latter part Of the last century. lie

This son is said to have been his
fathers favorite and to have been
the equal in scholarly attainments
of his more distinguished brother.
lie, like his father, left a large
family of children, some of whom
still live here.
In this old burial ground we also
find the tomb Of Mrs. McClung,
mother of the noted duellst, Alex.
McClung. This lady was a sister
of John Marshall, and one of her
sons married a sister of General
Albert Sidney Johnston. The
father of the eloquent and witty
Thomas +. Marshall was another
son Of the old gentleman who lies
here and some years the junior Of
his brother John. The writer has
frequently seen him here while on
visits to his kinsfolk. He was a
very venerable and distinguished
looking old gentleman, and has
been dead but few years.-N. Y.

A RAINY DAY.
BY SYDNEY DAYRE.

"A fine rain, said grandfather.
FFlne, indeed It's settling down
for a regular 7. my day said Her
bert, with a rcry unpleasant scowl
on his face.
YES said the two Preston boys
in tones quite as discontented as
his own, 'our frolic is spoilt for to-
day, sure enough
But said Hester, cant we
make a pleasant day Of itat home?
We might have a grand play in the
barn or Try a round game or some
thing
Nonsense, exclaimed Herbert.
I'VE were all fixed foT our berrying
this afternoon, and if ] can't have
that | don't want anything
Hester was too modest to at
tempt to carly her point against
Herbert. The Preston boys bOr
rowed an umbrella and went home
in the pouring rain. The younger
children whimpered and complain
ed as they peeped from doors and
windows and saw no prospect of
the heavy clouds clearing away.
Herbert buried himself in a book ,
giving little concern about the dis
appointment of any one else. So
the afternoon seemed in a fair way
of being worse spoilt than any out
door clouds could have spoilt it.
An hour later grandfather was
walking along the hall and stopped
to hear the merry voices in the
sitting-roOm. Going in, he found
Hester busy amusing the children
with blocks. From The large num-
Der which appeared the little party
must have hunted through the
whole house collecting remnants OF
odd sets.
She set them up in long rows and
then allowed each little one turn
in giving the first one tap to send
down the whole row. She placed
them in curves and circles, al
length reaching the highest point
of delight by the happy device Of
making an attempt at forming the
initials of each childs name. Ever
Herbert seemed to have forgotten
his ill-temper in the general inter
est, for he was adding much to the
sport by having searched out 9
large piece of pastebOard, which
he was busy cutting into cards
about the size of the wooder
blocks. These, when creased dowr
the middle and slightly doubled
we're found to be really an i'm
provement on the blocks.
Grandfather sat down and watch
ed, clapping hands and laughing
with the rest, whenever a finel!
shaped letter was traced to its enc
by the falling blocks and cards
and joining in the goOd'nature'
fun which was made of those who's
writing had to be declared bad.

looking up as he at length leaDe'
back in his chair with a NOR
thoughtful look.

As lovely as the rose;
She held her poodle in her arms
And fondly kissed his nose.

Was envious as he could be,

As that, my love, to me-"
She stopped and kissed him on tho lips,
Then sprang he to his feet

An Irishman who had lately
arrived in America, and who had
never seen a cross-cut saw, was
passing along country road one
day when he observed a man and q
boy saving a log with one Of these
saws. Paddy could not understand
il, and gazed upon the two for a
long time, and was impressed with
the idea that the man was trying
to take the saw away from the
boy. He thought that the latter
would not be able to succeed in
getting it away from the former.
so he ran up behind the man and
struck him in the back of the head,
knocking him down, at the same
time shouting to the boy: "Now
