Anniversary OF Postage Stamps.

The postage stamp will celebrate
its tiftysecond anniversary on May 6
of next year. Its invention is due to
a printer, James Chalmers of Dun
dee, Scotland, who died in 1858.
England, fifty-twO years ago, intro
duced the new system of preparing
letter postage, and, according to a
decree of December q, 1898, issued
the first stamps, which were to be
put before the public on May of the
following year, as noted above. A
year later they were introduced in
the United States and Switzerland;
and within three years had become
common in Bavaria, Belgium and
France. One of the most important
and valuable collections of postage
stamps and other postal devices in
the world is in the German Imperial
Post Office Museum at Berlin.

A Singular Horse.
Iarper's Young People.

Harper's Young People.
A funny storysis told of Dean
Swift, who was witty man, and
fond Of joke at the expense of
other people, as most witty people
are. One very cold night, when he
was travelling, he stopped at little
inn. There was only one fire in the
house, and the guests of the inn,
crowding about it, left no place for
the newcomer.
With a solemn face Dean Swift
called to the hostler, and told him to
get a peck of oysters Immediately
and take them out to his horse.
"Will your horse eat oysters, sir ?"
asked the astonished man.
"Just take them out and see" said
the horses master.
The people around the fire stared
at the man who owned this curious
horse, and nearly every one of them
left his seat and went out to see the
remarkable horse eating oysters.
The cunning Dean made himself
comfortable in the warmest corner,
and ordered his supper.
Presently back came the hostler,
with the disappointed crowd after
him.
"He won't touch them, sir !" cried
the hostler.
"Then take the foolish animal all
the oats he can eat" replied Dean
Swift. "You can bring the oysters
here. I'll eat them for supper my
self"

Graded Taxation.

The question of taxation is one
which always has, does now, and al
ways will attract the attention of the
tax payers. People naturally do not
wish to be taxed in a greater amount
than the actual necessities of econom.
ic government require, but the
most vexed question connected with
this subject is the equality, or rather
the inequality Of taxation. If all
property paid its just proportion of
the taxes, or bore just proportion of
the cost of its protection, and the rev.
enue so raised were wisely and eco
nomically expended, there would be
little complaining at the amount of
taxes necessary to be levied. There
is a deep-seated feeling, however, that
the burdens of taxation fall more
heavily upon some classes than upon
others. To remedy this an income
tax has been suggested, and with
good reason, for those having the
largest incomes, and requiring the
greatest amount of protection, often
have their property in such shape as
to espace the burden Of taxation.

An enthusiast on the subject states
that each head of clover is composed
of about 60 distinct flower tubes, and
each of these contains sugar not to
exceed the flve-hundredth part of a
grain. The PROTOCOLS of the honey
bee must, therefore, be inserted into
500 clover tubes before one grain of
sugar can be obtained. There are
700 grains in a pound, and, as honey

Had Better Not Return.

New YoRK, Dec. 3.-The rumor that
John G. Emo, the ex-president of the
Second National bank, who ran away to
Canada in 1884 with nearly $5,000,000,
was to return to this city was news 10
District Attorney Nicoll, who said yes
terday that he had heard nothing
whatever about his contemplated return.
He placed no faith in the story, for it
was one that had frequently been circu-
lated within the last four or five years.
There was one thing District Attorney
Nicoll would say, and that was that if
Emo did return he, the district attorney.
would promise the fugitive lively time.
If Mr.. Nicoll remembered rightly, the
evidence was mostly documentary and
that always lives.

Naw YORK, Dec. AT 1915 o'clock
this afternoon small, shabbily dressed
man, apparently 35 years old, carrying
brown leather hand valise, called at
Russell Sage's Office on the second floor
of seventy Broadway, and asked to see
Sage. W. R. Laidlaw, Sage's clerk, told
him that Sage was busy and could not
be seen. The man persisted and con-
tinued talking in loud tone. Sage who
was in an inner office came out to see
what was the matter. He asked the
man what was wanted. The man de-
manded million dollars from Sage and
upon being refused, he said: 81 de-
mand a private interview with you"
Sage replied that it would be impossible
for him to see the man then, but that
he might possibly do SO later in the day
The man continued to demand an inter
view then and there. Sage ordered him
to leave the Office, on this the man
dropped the leather bag and an explo-
sion which shook the entire block in
stantly followed. Sage was thrown ac-
ross the room and stunned Eaidlow
was also thrown across the office, and
had one leg badly lacerated. The
stranger was thrown against the partition
wall and was by far the most seriously
injured of the three. There were three
others whose names could not be ascer-
tanned at the moment, also injured. It
it known that one of the clerks in Sage's
office was blown ont thro,Ioh tha win
dow. Nearly all the windows on the
east and north side of the building were
broken and the interior of the building
is badly wrecked. It is said that two at
least of the occupants of the building
are torn to pieces by the force Of the ex-
plosion. Sage, in a conversation after
the explosion said he considered it a
deliberate attempt to kill himself and
destroy the building.

ANOTHER GONE WRONG.
He Was a Trusted Bank Clerk with Ex-
travagant Desires.


New ORLEANS, Dec. 3.-The detectives
have not yet succeeded in filming Rich
ard B. Rowley. the defaulting paying
teller of the Cooperative Banking Asso-
citation, who disappeared with $4,000 OF
the banks funds last Saturday evening.
The bank closed it's doors at the usual
hour, and Rowley, as was customary,
turned over to Cashier Miller the re-
turns of the day. Miller, after looking
over the account, found it correct and
went home. 1t has been learned that
Rowley, who was acquainted with the
combination of the safe, opened the
strong box and helped himself to the
cash, leaving behind him $500 in silver,
which was evidently too heavy to carry.
When Rowley failed to appear Monday
morning. Cashier Miller opened the safe
and discovered the defalcation. The
bank is secured against loss by the fact
that Rowley was bonded in the Ameri-
can Guarantee Company of New York
for $4,000. Rowley belonged to an excel
lent family. His father was adjutant-
general of the state before thewar. The
defaulter was chief of police of this city
under Mayor Bohan, and was chancel-
lor-commander of the Knights of Pythias
of the state. The endowment rank of
the order loses about $500 by him.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., Dec. Sit was
learned here yesterday that j. NJ. Ben
son, treasurer of Bladen county, had alb
seconded with $4,000 of the county-s
money. Benson has for several years
held the position of treasurer of this
county, and for the past two years has
been largely engaged in the merchantile
business at Elizabethport. His store
has been the headquarters for the al
lance of Bladen county. Several days
ago it was learned that Benson was short
in his accounts, and in consequence of
the rumors that were afloat the county
commissioners had called meeting for
yesterday, and Benson was to appear
before them for an investigation. The
commissioners met according to agree
ment, but found out soon after that
Benson had disappeared during the
night. 1t is thought by many that the
money the county will lose will be
comparatively small sum compared to
the sum that Benson owes the farmers
of Bladen county. AS he always has
been highly respected and above sus-
picion, the farmers would put whatever
money they did not need in his hands,
he paying them good interest, but seldom
paying the principal, and in this way
quite large sum must have been in his
hands at the time of his departure.
There seems to be little doubt that Ben
son has appropriated at least $4,000 of
other peoples money to the exclusive
benefit of himself. Much excitement
exists over his. sudden disappearance,
but those most interested have not the
least idea vharo he has mitchell his tent
