A Lesson I'm Patriotism

"In a railroad car the other day"
said 4 traveller, Il sat back of faith.
er and son. the son Il smiling, pretty
boy of eight. They laughed and chat
ted along together in the most friendly
way. Some of the things the father
said to his Son l couldn't help hear
ing, but 1 forgot them as fast as l
heard them, all except one thing that
fixed itself in my mind in spite of me.
The father seemed to be teaching his
boy some lines of poetry. When he
came to that he stopped laughing His
face was loving and gentle, but as he
tried to fix the lines in the boys mind
his manner was serious. l don't know
whether he spoke numper of verses
which all had the same ending or
whether he repeated the same verse.
but certainly the ending was always
the same, though l heard only part of
that: '--east or west, | love my ma
tive lard the best He said this al
ways very earnestly. OF course l
couldn't know just what it was that
moved him. but it seemed to me sim
ply that in his love for his son he was
trying thus early in his life to instill
into his heart Il lesson in patriotism.

An Effective Protest.

A man apparently laboring under
strong excitement stepped into an In
surance Office on La Sale street re-
Gently and asked:
DO you give away calendars for
1894 hcre?''
Yes, SIR" answered the agent.
Printed in big black letters, with
red letters for Sundays"
Yes
with string tied to them so they
can be hung up in front OF you:'
Yes"
''Got plenty of them?'
I'VE have any quantity of them, sir.
Want one!"
"Mottoes at the bottom telling You
about watching out for fires and where
to get insured and all that?"
Certainly"
How many companies do you repre-
sent?'
six or eight. There's the old rell-
able
Never mind. Do all of them send
out calendars?'
Yes, sir; all except one, but
"An except one? Have you one that
doesn't issue. any?
Yes"
'Then, that's the one I'm looking
for" exclaimed the other feverishly.
That's all l want to know about it!
1 want to insure $4,000 worth of prop
erty in that company. I've had twcn-
ty-seven calendars for 1894 from twen-
ty-seven different insurance companies
stuck on my desk since the first of
December. and the worm has turned,
sir-the worm has turned. ed.'-ChicagO

THE LOCAL PAPERS POWER

-The immense power a focal news
paper possesses in attracting trade tc
the town in which it is published OF
diverting it into other channels car
hardly be estimated. Further, it is g
matter that is seldom considered as an
important factor in towns prosperity,
for the simple reason that business men
do not give it thought. He who viii
impartially consider this assertion vii
be convinced of the truth of it. The
local paper is very naturally biased in
favor of the place of its publication,
and il given a fair living patronage by
home business men, will guard well
their interests just as the merchant
guards the interests of his Individual
customer. But if a niggardly support
is o'ed out to it, and it is compelled
to solicit custom from neighboring
cities, it cannot in justice to those pat,
rons exert itself in behalf Of its own
town, as it otherwise would. Try a
system of llberality in the matter OF
advertising expenditure and mark the
result.-Slatington penn News.

The Profit I'm Columbian Stamps.

The Columtian issue of postage
stamps will not be discontinued until
the entire issue of $40, 100000 ordered
by Congress has been given out. About
one-third of the stamps remain to be
used, which will run the issue well in
to 1894, and dealers are laying in large
supplies Of them, with the knowledge
that they will become more and more
valuable each year. Undoubtedly the
Government has rcaped a rich har-
vest by the sale of them to persons
who will not make the ordinary use Of
them. John Wanamaker, as PostmaS-
ter-Generai, expected that collectors
would buy them to the value of mill
ions Of dollars. In a recent report
Kerr Craigc, the Fourth Assistant
Postmaster-Gcncral, declared that
hardly more than $4,000 would ac-
cruc to the Government from this
source, but his estimate is probably
too small.
Figures on the subject are hard to
get. Most collectors bought the stamps
ut the post-office in the ordinary way,
so no one could tell whether they were
FER albums or for business. Some per-
sons living away from this city, how
ever, sent to the Postmaster here for
them. In the first eleven months of
the year 262 orders, amounting to ST.
015.91, were received from abroad. and
243, amounting to SS23.45, from places
in the United States This is. of course,
small proportion. of the whole amount
which went to the collectors. The big
dealers at home and abroad would get
their supplies through agents here.
Many persons have sent orders to
friends here, for the stamp clerks
have sold numbers of the complete
sets of sixteen stamps The cost of
the lot is S1G.34, for the denominations
include 81. So, 81 and S.. Some col
iectorS prefer to have cancelled stamps,
so they buy complete sets and get As
sistant Postmaster Gayler to put the
postmark on them. One man mailed
4 letter, weighing less than half an
ounce and addressed to himself, which
was nearly covered with Columbian
stamps. The postal clerks could not
Imagine why he should waste money
in this way until it struck one of them
that it was his method of having the
stamps cancelled for his collection.
Some people have wondered why s.
stamps should be issued, for publishers
pf periodicals pay postage on their
matter in bulk. These stamps of large
lenoni;aations 50 on foreign letters
iFhe postage OH them is five cents Il
half ounce. and there is no limit to
weight. One weighing pound and
sent by registered mail would there
fore need to have SLIGO of stamps on
it, Some documents and securities
sent as first-class mail matter weigh
as much as three or four pounds. ami
a s. stamp would just fill the bill for
them
One of the first sets of Columbian
stamps sold here WAS bought for the
Queen Of Holland by the Dutch Con-
SUI 81 meet the wants of collectors
the Post-Otfice Department has sup
piled some twenty-five post-ofiiccs with
sets Of stamps. Of course the Govern
ment did not go into this to make
money. but 1t undoubtedly has cleared
pretty pcnny.-New York Tribune.

THE TARIFF ON MArs1MoNY.

In the province of Kansas they carry the
principle of protective tariff to its logical
conclusion. At the town of Concordia, in
that province. the young lady teachers in
the nublic schools are in the reprehensible
nabit Of getting married and quitting work.
sometimes in the very middle Of the term
for which they have engaged themselves to
teach, thus causing much Inconvenience to
everybody but themselves To correct this
practice the Board of Education has adopted
a rule providing that hereafter should any
of the lady teachers of the Concordia schools
commit rna,rimony during the term for
which they have been elected, they shall
forfeit sum of nloncy equal to one half
months salary. provided they take home
man. and sum equal TO one months
salary in case the groom is imported from
some other county or Stale" By this law
a discrimination amounting to fifty per
cent at 10Ht,tm is made il favor ct the
home article and against tie foreign pro-
duct. AT t.Iis moE,cct three Of the lady
teachers are engaged TO be married, and their
prospective Husbands are all " foreigners"
within the meaning CT the law. The girls
will resist the tariff Oh nIatrimony and will
test its constitutonality in the courts for 1t
contracts in restraint of marriage are not
favored by the law. why should school
board regulations in restraint of marriage
be allowed? Gen M. NJ. Trumbull il the

Mr. Gladstone's "Pick-Me-C..."


There is mystery about the fluid,
"Pick-me-up.' with which Mr.. Glad
stone rcfreshes himself from time to
time during his parliamentary conflicts.
He carries it with him to the House of
Commons, not in bottle, but in q
small glass receptacle known as the
''pomatum pot" 1t is liquid of some
kind; it is yellow in color; it is taken
in light draughts; its influence is
strengthening and eXhilarating. But
what is it? The Conservatives and the
Unionists entertain different opinions
about it; the Liberals clnnot form any
satisfactory opinion. If any party
could get Il smell Of it they would be
all right; but they can't. He whips
the glass receiver out of his breast
pocket, applies it to the proper spot,
and feels better. All parties are able
to see that the fluid is yellow; but
nothing more than that is known about
it. He is fond of old port, but there is
no yellow old port. He does not like
sherry. 1t cannot be that. Some beers
':c.vc 4 yellowiSh lock; but few drops
Of beer would not elevate him. There
is no real yellow whiskey. or brandy,
or gin. or rum. Some mixed drinks
have Il yellowish appearance after the
lemon or orange has been put into
them; but these drinks do not fill the
bill. We should like to know what
the stuff is. 1t was invented by Mr..
Gladstone's doctor. Sir Andrew Clark,
recently deceased; and so it must b.
good. 1t must be worthy Of its name,
"Pick-mc-up."
If Gladstone will tell what his re-
storcr is made of there will certainly
be Il run upon 1t. If he will contide
the secret Of 1t 70 some man in New
York who will put it on the market in
small glass pots handy for the breast
pocke;, and patented. the man will
make Il fortune. Even people who
never drink elevating fluids would sure
ly like to take Il pull at a pot Of Pick
me-up."-Ncw York Sun.
