quiet and defiant. The three condemned
men took their medicine" indifferently
and smiled sarcastically when Attorney
Forrest entered his motion for new
trial.
The verdict of the Cronin jury has sent q
thrill of disappointment throughout Chi
cago. 1t had been hoped that at least
three of the men on trial who were shown
by the evidence to have been directly con-
nected with the conspiracy to take the
life Of DR.. Cronin would have been
brought face to face with the death pen
atty. Had this been the outcome of the
trial, with more moderate sentences or
even the entire acquittal of the other two
men involved, the public would have
been better satisfied. At least, this is the
verdict of the Chicago public. The re-
suit of the jury's labors is compromise.

Coughlin, who stared into vacancy, mo-
tionless and unconcerned. Next to him
sat O'sullivan, the picture of despair. On
his left sat Burke, who could not dis
guise his fears. His mouth twitched
and he gazed about the courtroom in an
excited manner. Kunze looked hopeful,
with a face wreathed in smiling expecta-
ton.
Burke tapped Attorney Forrest on the
SHOULDER and reached over for whisper
as to what he was to expect. Kunze
leaned forward also, but the lawyer
waved them both back positively and
held himself in readiness for action. It
was quite plain that Forrest did not know
what the verdict was to be.

Mexican Soldier s' Trick.

Many of the recruits of the Mexican
army are convicts who have been drafted
into military service, and consequently
assertions are very humorous. Some
times q rather humorous ingenuity is

was given and the regiment marched

1t was some seconds before Kunze,
who sat at the other end of the dock,
realized his fate. When he did he filled
up like whipped child, and at once
commanded the sympathy Of the large
assem- blage, including court, jury and
lawyers. He could not long restrain the
sobs that rolled up from his bleeding
heart, and quickly gave vent to his grief

on not hearing it read. felt themselves

O'Sullivan, and Coughlin were happily
disappointed.

ed to be discharged, and when he buried
his face in his hands and cried bitterly
over his three years sentence, the people
responded with smothered expressions of
compassion.
With the other three it was vastly diff
ferent. They were unconcerned until
they heard the verdict read, and then
they, one and all, gave sigh of relief.

Something About Stamps,

Not a week passes that numerous
readers do not write to inquire the
value of some more or less rare stamps
in their possession, not realizing how
difficult it is to fix such values. Stamps
apart from their intrinsic value of or
8 cents when uncanceled) are mere
ly curiosities and have no actual
value.
Some people would not give dollar
for hundred of the rarest stamps in
the world, while others would mort
gage house to obtain possession of a
single stamp. Some OF the prices paid
for stamps in this country are such as
may well amaze the young stamp col
lector, and in Europe the manis is so
great that some collections are almost
priceless.
M. Philippe de Ferrari has a collec-
zion of ESQ., stamps, and he has sold
one collection to a Partisan stamp
lover for $4,000.
Mr.. Burnett. an English collector.
has stamps valued $4,000 and many
collections, by no means remarkable,
have been sold in England for $1,000.
The late Duchess de Galliera accum-
ulated 5000 albums, which are now
valued at $4,000.
At the Paris mint there Is remark
able collection, and the Rothchilds
collection in Paris is SO costly and SO
highly priced by its owner that 1t is
guraded like the Koh-i-noor, and only
experts are allowed to see it.
Alta recent London auction, some
remarkable prices were realized.

British Guiana stamps brought the fol-

British Guiana stamps brought the fol-
lowing prices: A "blue 4c" of 1856,
cancelled, $1s5: uncanceled, $3.50; four
lc, issue 1853, cancelled, S. each; and
a pair OF 4e Mageutas Of 1856, $50.
These prices are paralyz ing to the
ordinary reader, but much higher
figures have been reached in other
sales. Here are a few samples:
The 15c and 500 Reunion stamps
bring $500, aud the New Brunswick
Sc stamp finds ready purchaser at
$50. The set Of four 1852 Hawaiian
stamps are valued at $500, and the
1887 Mauritius stamps, &c and 4c, can
rarely be had under $500.
Old Brazil black stamps range in
value from S. to $l2. so; the green and
yellow ones of Buenos Ayres bring as
high as $25 each, while the red ones
are worth $50.
The vermillion franc French stamp
of 1S49 and ". r." black English
penny stamp are considered cheap at
$50 apiece. while the Mulready wrap
per on India paper, issued in 1910, has
been sold for $500.
The prices are enough to send cold
chill down the back of the youthful
collector who is rejecting whether he
can afford to invest SOC for an 1883
Peruvian one penny red" But that is
no reason why the collector should not
collect, if it gives him pleasure. 1t is
harmless ammusement and Incl.
dentally teaches history to the collec-
tor.
But there is drawback, as there is
to every amusement. All rare stamps
are counterfeited, and the rOgues are
so skillfut that only an expert can de-
tect the imposition.
Many a collector, young and DID,
has stamp he prizes as the gem OF
his collection, supposed to be worth
dollars when it is not worth cents.
However, it is a consolation to know
that counterfeit gives just as much
satisfaction as genuine stamp, until
its spurious character is discovered,
and such discovery very rarely hap,
