THE AGENCY WINS.
Appropriations for the Postage stamp
Agency to be Continued.

The subcommittee of the House COM
mittee on appropriations, when has ~
charge the deficiency appropriation DILL
has decided not to include the proposed
paragraph to discontinue the government
postage stamp agency, over winch thefe
has been some discussion in the senate
and the House committee. When the post
age stamps were printed by the American
Bank Note Company in New York under
contract there was established stamp
agency. through which all the orders anu
accounts passed, while the agent, ". w !;
r. Davis, represented the government anu
had general oversight of the work unoer
the contract When the contract was
given to the bureau of pruning anu IN
craving last summer DR.. DAVIS prous ~ ms
force to Washington and 0fnclateu as ne
intermediary between the bureau anu .ne
Post Office Department There mas peeii
no little friction between the agent anu
the bureau ever since. DR.. Davis mas re-
ported that the work or pruning STAMPS
was poorly done, and that the depaftmant
was badly hampered by the failure or the
bureau at times to fill it's orders promptly.
There has been dissatisfaction also pc
cause the bureau has ignored htm at tiHleS
in dealing with the department. Inc usuai
appropriation for the agency was lnciuded
in the post office appropriation Dill "niGh
passed the House, but in the Senate MY
Blackburn proposed to amend the bill by
striking out the item and contendeu that
the agency was a SupernuouS institution.
DR.. Davis brought considerable influence 10
bear and the amendment was LOST AN.
other item was put in the deficiency Dill
in committee for rent of the offices or the
agency in Washington, and it was pro
posed to couple it with the provision that
the agency should be discontinued. This
renewed the controversy, which was re-
hearsed in the committee and finally 1t
was decided that the agency must exist.

lust left Mitchell avenue, going south.
when the bell On the platform rang, and
the conductor mechanically pulled the bell
rope, and as the car stopped he opened the
double doors and stood waiting for some
one to leave the car. No one made move.
and thinking some one had pressed the
button too soon, he gave the motorman Two
bells, and the car started cityward again.
He had forgotten the circumstance as
soon as the doors We're closed. and turned
to look for passengers up Main avenue,
when the bell rang again. and again he sig
nailed for the car to stop. lie opened the
door as before, but to his surprise noDody
made a move.
"lt was now commencing to dawn upon
him that he was being guyed.' and he
eyed every one In the car narrowly, par
ticularly the men. and especially the
Younger men. The bell didn't ring while
the car went several blocks. but when he
leaned back over the dash to watch the
trolleys at the bend just above the power
house the bell rang again. He dropped his
eyes instantly, but he wasn't quick enough.
Every face was straight, and he decided to
let the trolleys so and watch the passen-

young girl with her school books under

"'Why. the little villainess. did she ring
that bell that way?'
"'Why. didn't you see she had on large
hat. and when she would lean back her
hat would press the button, and when the
conductor looked into the car in surprise
she returned the look in perfect innocence,
all unconscious that she was the culprit.

that doesn't knew of Jaky Einstein. and
yet how few know more about him than
that he vas the immortal man who. on a
historic occasion, made deal which gave
rise to the excited inquiry:
who dole dose cards."
That inquiry has girdled the globe.
Napoleon the Great was a conspicuous
figure in his day. He fought a good many
battles and won good many victories. lie

and is very well thought of-particularly

his hand TO a crown three times over. and
still have wild throng of adniring con-

This is the story of the origin of those
