a Big INDUsTEY-The Virginia C:-
i=en says Very few outside of its own
locality are aware that the place where
all the cancelling and dating stamps
used in the postofiices throughout the
United States is located in Northum-
berland county, Va. At Lodge, on the
Yeocomico river, is little town whose
inhabitants are almost entirely depend
ent upon this industry for their liyeli-
hood. There the malleable iron cast.
ings in the rough are dressed, mortised
and, by hands almost as skilled as the
engravers, each letter is tediously
chiseled then tempered, hardened and
polished. Here also are the type for the
mortises made as are also the familiar
''Postage DUE "Unclaimed" and 9th
er stamps. The furnishing of these
stamps is annually let to contract by
the government. Hon. Benjamin
Chambers is the present contractor aud
has been for years, as was his father
before him. Annually competitors
from ali parts of the union arise, but so
far his prices and superior workman
ship have stood him in good stead

$50 you don't believe in the old SUI
perstition about getting up on the
wrong side of the bed, eh ?" said the
downtown business man the other day
at luncheon.
~ do not, " remarked his friend
''Well, l do. had dose Of it the
other day. l hoped out of bed one
cold frosty morning and tumbled into
my things and Off l went to work.
II hadn't gone more than g block
when drunken man reeled into me
and spoiled my new hat. The elevated
train was late. could get no seat. AT
the Office the fire had gone out and the
boy who is supposed TO attend to that
part came in about noon saying that he
was sick. I spilled ink all over the
books Of the firm. Then half II dozen
men that owed money to came to see
me- when the sixth man showed up
the head of the firm scowled and re-
marked that it was about time | took q
vacation.
''The luncheon l had that day gave
me indigestion. l hurried back TO
the office with splitting headache,
madness oozing out ofevery pore ofmy
body.
81 began to see that I had been hoo
doed.'
''In the office again ran ound my
chair, expecting to break the charm
but it was no go. In half an hour in
came telegram saying that my brother
had died i'll the West, and that should
send money to have the body forward
ed to New York. rushed around TO
the bank to get the loan and the cashier
gave me wad of the long green that
was five dollars short. failed TO
count the cash at the desk, and we had
big word war when tried to con-
vince him of his error.
II then went to the telegraph office
to send the money, but slipped on a
baaana peel at the very entrance and
sprained my ankle. That settled me
for the day. hired cab to take me
home, and cabby overcharged me three
times.
when got home the worst stroke
of all was to confront me.
"What was that - put in an aston
ished friend.
"Why, my mother-in-law was there,
bag and baggage, just arrived for a
four months stay"
And the bed ?''
Il confidently assert that all this hap
pened because | got out on the wrong
sde of the bed. To guard against SINH
lar misfortune in the future | have
placed the bed close to the wall. SO that
it now has only one side, and the re-
suit is grand-luck all day long. Have
a cocktail on me?"
II will" said the friend, quickly,
"and l propose toast"
"And it is ?" said the other, clicking
glasses.
ITO the biggest liar in all New
York-hail."
