NEW POSTAGE STAMps.-Importanss
changes ia the denominations of postage
stamps arc contemplated by the Post
Office Department The principle ones
are in the newspaper and periodical
series, but the regular series is also to
be altered. OF the latter, the ones,
twos, threes, fours, tives, skies, eights,
tens, and fifteens, which are now in
use, will be continued. The present
thirty and innocent ordinary stamps
probably will be discontinued, and fifty
cents and one, two and tive-dollar
stamps will be added to the series. 1t
is intended to reduce the number OF
the denominations of newspaper and
periodical stamps from 24 TO II or l3.
The dollar stamp now printed for ii o
first time by the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing IS the doubtful one, but it
will probably be finally decided on
favorably to its continued use. The
denominations of the series, either now
printed by the bureau for the first time,
or TO be issued later, are five, twenty
five and fifty cents and 81, >, s., SO,
$50, $50 and 500.
Those TO be dropped out of use are
3, +, 6, S, u, 81, SO, rs, go, y, ST. soc.
1892, and So, Sc, 80, SD, $24, $50, SIS
and $50.
The postage due stamps have been
re-engraved under the present contract
and slightly reduced in size from the
former output Of the contractor.
All of these changes have been prac-
tically approved by the officials, subject,
however, 10 modification if deemed ad-
visable.

SPANKED HIS GROWN DAUGHTER.-
For some infringement OF the house
hold rules the other day Farmer joseph
Hegeman, of Northport, L. l., laid his
eighteen-year-old daughter, Rosina,
across his knee and spanked her sound
ly. Then he sent her weeping to her
room. Rosina didn't like this method
of punishment, and she told her lover,
Chas. Hesseman, who is employed in
one of the village bakeries. She es-
capped from the house and lost no time
in getting to New York. On hvl -
turn Papa Hegeman attempted TO re-
peat the spanking. Just as he was
about to begin operations in popped
Hesseman. He waved marriage GER
titicate under the nose of the old man
and warned him to withhold his up
raised hand. Farmer Hegeman was
amazed. TIE bride slipped off his knee
and clung to her young husband, The
farmer decided that it would not be
well for him to repeat the spanking,
and the young couple departed.

and they caught on at once.
They came in hocks, in crowds,
in troops, and waen they saw
what we we're doing and real
lied the IMMENSE SACRI-
FICE that was being made,
they waded right into the good
things and every one secured
a prize. At this SLAUGHTER
SALE you can't go wrong.
Whatever you buy is a bar
gain which cannot be dupli-
Gated for double the money.
YOU DRAW A PRIZE EV-
ERY TIME-THERE ARE
NO BLANKS.
Some good things are gone,
but there are many still here.
Those who couldn't get to see
us last week missed some
good opportunities. But we
are still going to give them a
chance to get even. We have
made another STUPENDOUS
REDUCTION in the prices of
the goods left. This sounds
impossible, but it is true nev-
ertheless. We want every.
thing cleared out from top to
bottom, and the way we are
going to do it is by giving to
each person three times as
much for his money as could
be gotten elsewhere for the
same sum. We have plenty
Of choice fabrics yet on hand,
which, if the business had to be
wound up, would command
full price to-day from every
man, woman and child who
needs them. These very same
goods we reduce this week to
less than one-half Of their mar
ket value. Why, it would pay
you to lay in a stock for future
use.
It's like saving up so much money in bank;
you will have to have the goods some time,
and you will have then to pay 100 ceuts on
the dollar for them. Why not buy them now
and ihus effect great saving? A PENNY
SAVED IS A PENNY MADE. This is an
old saying and a true one, and if you want to
save good hard dollars in these bard times

THREE TINES AND OUT.-A gentle
man living out on College street drove
down to the city the other evening al
ter MS wife, and not finding her started
home again. After leaving the city he
saw lady walking along in the street
ahead, which he took for his better
half. Riding up to her, he said :
''Get in, when she turned a strange
face up to him and answered "Thank
YOU sir you look all right, bat don't
know you"
He apologized and drove on, when
he saw another lady walking on ahead.
This surely is she, he thought. and APP
preaching her in the dark, said 'lve
been looking for you, viii you ride
home with me?n II guess that you
have made mistake" She said, as she
looked up. Again he apologized and
drove on.
1t does not sound like fact, but he
did see another woman walking home
along the clay road, when he approach
ed, saying rather tartly, "Come, wife,
get in here. I've been making fool of
myself all the way up" She likewise
proved a stranger.
When the man saw fourth woman
walking in the twilight, he set bis
