THE PALMER STAMP.
An Early Invention Recalled by an Old
Mans Recent Suicide.
Boston Globe.l


One of the old postage stamps prizei bv
collectors is that now known as the "Brattie-
boro stamp" 1t is rare and very scarce, and
frequently brings a high price even at Auc-
tons.
DR.. Frederick n. Palmer the physicisn
who jumped off Portland steamer on NJ m
day with his little grandchild and was
drowned, originated this stamp. DR.. Palmer
was Postmaster at BratilebOro during Presi-
dent Folks Administration, and he con-
ceived the idea of a stamp to be affixed TO
letters from his office in order to avoid the
trouble OF branding each letter with the
words paid five cents" in huge red capitals,
which was then the custom.
This stamp was engraved by Thomas
Gbubbuck, of Springfield, for the Postmas-
ter's personal use. 1t may have been a most
useful stamp at the time of its issue, but il
certainly has no pretensions to beauty OF
design, and compared with the five cent
Garfield stamp, the Palmer stamp is very
commonplace. Collectors are, however will
ing to pay fabulous prices for it, and they
vie with each other in a struggle to add it to
their collection. Two persons in Boston
have Palmer stamp in their possession.
One of these stamps was bought about twenty
years ago for seventy-five cents. the other,
bought about four years ago, cost perhaps

4" TEXAS TOM"
How an Old Timer Won SIG, 900 in One
Afternoon-His First Appearance
in Indianapolis.
ISan Francisco Alta. !


For a week past San Franciscos principal
streets have been familiar with a slim, trim
figure, faultlessly attn ed. and surmounted
by a smooth-shaven face, the features of
which are so puzzling as to leave the observer
in doubt whether its wearer's years number
fifteen or fifty. Such is Thomas P. Red
mond, better known as 'Texas Tom," form
erly Pierre L0rillard's head lightweight
Jockey, and for the past three years one of
the most successful hackers of race horses on
Americas tracks, Redmond was not born
until late in 1867, but for thirteen years Of
his life he has been so much associ-
ated with men of mature years and
habits that there is nothing OF the
boy left in him, and the practice of wearing
high silk hat, added to his conversation
gives him the general appearance and air of
one long past his majority. His first public
appearance was in Indianapolis, at the age Of
six years, when he ran away from home and
went on the variety stage as precocious
song and dance kid. A year or two later
bronchial affection ruined his vocal organs
for public singing, and for long time he
was unable to speak above whisper, and
even now his voice seems strained in ordi-
nary conversation. Drifting into Texas he
learned to ride mustangs, and achieved some
notoriety as a jockey in the impromptu
quarter races that characterized the gather
lngs OF the stockmen. Getting back to the
racing centers of the East, he obtained en-
ployment in galloping vicious horses that
were beyond the control of the boys EN-
ployed to give them exercise.
Young Redmond proved pretty tough
customer, and his stable companions after
feeling the weight of his fists, were so heart
lily down on him that everything amiss
about the stables was always LAID on the
shoulders of that id Texican," and from
this he received the ciinging soubriquet of
Texas Tom. Still, he proved a valuable
hand for the work he was engaged for, and

Judge Duval's Wife.
Cleveland Leader.l

Speaking of Stanley Matthew's marriage
reminds me of story which Ogle TaylOe
tells of Justice Duval, who was on the Su-
preme bench for twenty five years. serving
from 1911 to 1886. Judge Duval was a repre-
sentative from Maryland to the first Congress-
and while there he and William Giles, of
Virginia, boarded in Philadelphia with Mrs.
Gibbons, who had daughter who was Dei-
ther young nor taciturn. Giles and Dnval
became great friends, but after thew left Con-
gress they lost sight of each other for a time.
They met again in Washington at the he
ginning of Jefferson's administration, when
Giles was senator and Duval controller of
the treasury. They were happy in the revi-
val of old times and were enjoying them
selves in chatting about them until Senator
Giles inquired of Duval, "What has become
of that id cackling old maid, Jennie Glib
bonsr'
''She is Mrs Duval, sir" was the reply,
and it is needless to say that the converse
ton after this was for time rather strained.

has DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

splitting of blood, weak lungs, and other
throat and lung affections.

Poplar Pulp.

Mr.. Henry fogg, eff Fairfield. may with
propriety be STYLED n poplar man. lie
takes the lead on the river in the pur-
chasing and driving of poplar for the
manufacture Of pulp. He has just fairly
got his drive OF 1000 cords down to its
destination, Fairfield where it is being
"snakcd' out OF the river by machinery
constructed for that purpose, and, on
Saturday last, started up river to make
contract. for supply for next year. OPP
erstions. Like Davy Crockett and the
coon, the poplar forests on the upper
Kenncbcc. "come down" when they find
that Henry Fogg is moving on them.
The present season has been very I'M
favorable one for driving the lumber.
The water averaged exceedingly low but
Mr. Fogs made good time and Col. Heath,
manager of the Pulp Works at Fairfield,
was more than satisfied at the time made
in the face of SO many difficulties.
The lumber is largely cut by land own
erS along the river, into Aft sticks pcalcd
aud piled up on the banks in the winter
rolled into the water after the drive of
long lumber passes and hoatcd to the
mill II is expected that the cut of the
coming winter will exceed that Of last
season.
