Twenty Stories about MARX Twain

Mark Twain is the next famous
person to be "anecdocalized" by The
Ladies' Home Journal. and the humor-
lists closest friends have sent to the
magazine for its next number some
twenty odd stories about him. none of
which have ever been printed. They
are, of course, of the droll sort, but
not more funny than the snapshot
pictures of Mark which his friends
have also loaned the magazine. These
too, have never been printed.

SPANISH STAMPS.
Issued to Raise War
Funds.

A San Antonio TEX special says;
There was received in this city from the
City of Mexico, consignment Of $500
"patrietic postage stamps" Of Spain.
The consignee was Jose NJ. De CASTELAR,,
a Spanish resident of San Antonio and
native of the Canary islands. This
consignment of stamps reveals a gigan-
tic patriotic scheme of loyal Spanish
subjects on the American continent to
raise fund of 100000 to aid the Span
ish government in its war with the
Cuban insurgents. The scheme is to
issue 100000 postage stamps five
cents face value in the money Of the
country in which they are used The
matter is in the hands of an executive
committee in the City of Mexico, and
the second issue Of 100000 stamps has
been turned out by a German litho-

graphing firm in the Mexican capital.
The stamps are sold for five cents apiece
TO the Spaniards and one stamp is
stuck on the sheets of every letter
written by the patriotic subjects. The
committee in the City of Mexico has
sold these stamps, il is claimed, in large
quantities in the South and Central
American republics, and many have
found their way to this country. Senior
CASTELAR, says that the lot which he re-
ceived is part of second million of such
stamps issued. The stamp is of light
green color and bears this inscription
in an arch around the Spanish coat OF
arms; "5-Impuesta Patrictica Espa-
nol-5."
