made demand for the plates and they
were turned over by the photographers.
Being of no further use to the express
com pany it was decided to present them
to the museum as souvenir OF the days
when brave and daring men faced the
dangers of Indians and blizzards to carry
the news of the argonauts and their lor-
tunes in the gold fields to waiting friends
across the plains and mountains.
There was nothing out of the way in
printing the stamps, as they have long
since ceased to be of any value except as
philatetic curios, and Mr.. Britton saws
that he did not think that there would be
the slightest comment on the matter or
he would not have consented to print the
stamps.

LAID AWAY FOR
FORTY YEARS
Pony Express Stamp Plates
Will Go to the Park
Museum.
Curious Way in Which the
Philatelic Treasures Were
Discovered.
Wells, Fargo & Co. Recovered Them
Through the Enthusiasm OF
Stamp. Collector.

The Golden Gate Park Memorial
Museum is about to be presented with an
addition to its collection that is az unique
as its story is interesting.
The donation consists of the dies from
which the stamps of the famous Pony
Express, the first mail service across the
continent, were printed. which have lain
in the establishment of local lithograph-
ing house since the time when the express
was first started In the early fifties.
Some time ago young relative OF
Joseph Britton of the firm of Britton q
Rey contracted the philatelic fever, and
having heard that the photographers had
prepared the plates and printed the
stamps, asked his uncle whether it was
not possible that some of the old stamps
were lying about among the samples of
the firms early work.
These stamps are now very valuable,
some of them, particularly the 81 issue,
being worth $S, and full set, including
$4 81, 81, 25-cent and 10.cent issues, being
worth SIS or more. Mr.. Britton could not
find any of the old stamps because they
had all been turned over to Wells Fargo
& Co. at the time the express was discon-
cided 10 print new lot for his nephew.
He called at Wells, Fargo & Co.. office
to ascertain the proper coIors, which in
the originals were red, green, blue, black
and chocolate, and by some chance was
shown spurious lot that had come in to
the possession of the company at time
when some one had counterfieited the
stamps. The colors were prepared, the
plates touched up to give the stamps a
smart appearance and large number Of
sets struck off.
With visions of vastly advantageous
trades tioatlng before his eyes the nephew
took the stamps to various dealers and
tried to swap them for others that he
needed to fill out his collection. The
practical eyes of the philatelic experts at
once detected the facts that the colors
were a little off, the paper different than
the original and the lines changed and
moro distinct in some portions than they
should have been. No trades were made,
but the matter caused so much comment
among tho philateiists that the story
came to the ears OF Wells, Fargo d Co.,
who owned the plates, though they had
been in the possession of Britton y Key
for forty years or more.
The officers of the company at once

Thirty years ago 81. Paul's Lutheran Church

quite prominent place for society gather
ings. and now the building and name have
long since become thing of the past The
congregation, on the other hand, now meets in
its own beautiful church edifice, corner of
Eddy and Cough streets, in locality then
little known, and far out in the hills.
In view of such changes the members OF St.
Paul thoug ht the thiriieth anniversary of its
first organization matter for congratulation

existence and growth, its development from
small beginnings to its present strength and
usefulness, and the gratifying fact that it has
enjoyed the minis ira tions OF the same clergy
man. the Rev. J. NJ. Buehler, from its founda-
ton day to the present all combined to
awaken the desire TO make the occasion one

NEW TO-DAY.

The old story of Prometheus is parable,
an allegory. Prometheus was on terms of
intimacy with the gods. From them he
stole fire, and gave it to men. For this sin
he was bound to the rocks of Mount Cau-
casus, and vultures were set upon him.
They only ate his liver This grew again
as fast as it was pecked away. Are his suf-
ferings to be imagined? Yes, and realized.
Take modern Interpretation of the par
able. There is no cooking without fire. In
cooking and eating the mischief lies. The
stomach is overtasked, the bowels become
clogged, they cannot dispose of the food
that is given them. The impurities back
up on the liver Then come the vultures.
The suferings from an outside, visible
hurt, are a mere pin-scratch to the torments
of diseased liver.
But, moderns are ahead of the ancients.
There is a sequel to the old story. DR..
Pierce is the author. His Golden Med
ical Discovery" is more than equal to the
vultures of dyspepsia and its kindred dis
eases. Every atom of the " Discovery" is
an active agent against disease. 1t flies

is no more need of suffering from dyspepsia
than there is of hanging ones self
