Corresponding Without Stamps.

Two local business men made a wager
regarding the payment of local postage. A
said he could send a letter through the
Springfield postofice that would be deliv-
cred to B, who would return an answer TO
him, and neither A nor 3 would pay any
postage, nor would any be required. b
accepted the wager. A and B exchanged
envelopes bearing their respective business
cards thereon, and agreed on fictitious
address, Ike John Jameson, Boston, Mass.
A wrote a letter to B, using the envelope
with BIS business card, addressed it as
agreed and dropped it into street letter
box without afiixing postage stamp.
In due time the carrier returned" the
letter 70 marked "held for postage" B
opened and read the letter and replied, en-
closing his answer in AS envelope and pay
ing no postage. 4 received his letter SINH
larly marked, and Won the cigars All
letters or packages bearing the name Of
the sender and having no stamps attached
are returned 20 the sender TO be stamped
4 took advantage of this rule, and By
using BIS envelope the letter was returned
to B, the supposed sender, and B's letter
reached him for the same reason--Sprsag-

Jolly.

There are many people. old and young
AS many who are old. perhaps. a.
young-who never stop to think Of the
words they are using; who, for instance,
never examine their speech to see wfieth-
or they are not employing one word over
and over again in such a way as tn make
their friends weary of 1t, even If the
word itself has no sense Of being over
worked.
The other day an actual conversation
which was much Ike the following wa
heard on the street near public schos j

the word Jolly before they separated

Mistaken Identity.

An American lady visiting in England
one day rashly alluded to deas by their
common name, aud it was only when her
English listeners looked slightly Mortified
that she realized that she should have
spoken of those offensive insects as 81
sharps," or applied to them some equally
eupbonious title. That unfamiliarity with
them is confined to their names rather
than their persons may be guessed from
the following story, which is told about a
proposed entertainment of performing
fieas long while ago, before the king of
Prussia
All the royal party had assem- bled about
platform on which the exhibition was to
take place. The entertainment was called
Napoleon and His Generals"
The court sat in expectation, but the
professor" who was manager of the affair
shook his bushy name and rolled his eyes
in anguish, while he wrung his long hands
and marched up and down his little cage.
AT last he gasped:
Napoleon is missing
He paused and cast his eagle eye over the
distinguished company. He observed that
the princess royal fidgeted little. Throw
ing his whole soul into eyes and voice, he
approached that august Lady and the king.
'Sire, madame" he cried, this exhibit
ton is a poor mans all, Without Napo-
leon, his generals are valueless. There
can be no entertainment without him. An
unfortunate entreats. Allow me-"
The princess wore an old fashioned fichu-
In the fraction of second the professor had
turned back several of its white folds, made
capture and proudly returned to his
troop. Arrived on the stage, ne ventured
TO relax his hold and examine the captive.
Oh" he groaned in despair, sit is q
wild onei"-Youth's Companion.

The seamstress worked hard and long upon
