Uucle Sans First Postage Stamps.

Uucle Sans First Postage Stamps.
"Fi!ty years ago-ln July, 1917
Uncle Sam issued his first postage
stamps" writes Fannie Mack Lo-
throp in the July Ladies' Home
Journal. Sin England seven years
before, Rowland Hill, father of
the penny post, introduced the
sticking plaster,' as the stamps
were contemptuously called.
John M. Niles, our Postmaster
General at that time, tried heroic
ally, but in vain, to move Congress
to authorize stamps for this coun-
try. His successor. Dave johnson,
was more fortunate, and the bill
desired was approved on March
3, 1S47, the stamps not being
issued, however, till August, tho
the tune appointed was July 1.
Only two values of the new
stamps were introduced in 1S47-
a five and ten cent stamp, bear
ing, respectively, the portrait OF
of Franklin in n bronze tint, and
Washington in black. The first
purchaser Of stamps III the United

OF the young mans father, and the
