new one-cent stamp which has the
latest portrait of the Queen, arrived in

The new twO-cent stamp is interest

Newfoundland. One of them showed
the Prince of Wales as boy in High

STRUCK An OBSTRUCTION.

A West Side man came hOme in the
early hours of the morning yesterday
When he reached the steps leading to
the porch he heard an Omincus growl,
and looking in bcheld n bull-terrier
and a smaller dog lying on the mat
and determined to spend the night
there. He tried coaxing. but they were
neither open TO argument nor convic-
tion. Having no weapon with him,
and realizing that a healthy bull-ter-
rler was in no sense a thing to be
trihed with when in a corner, he did
the only sensible thing. Walking up a
two-foOt alley he climbed up on the
gaze and uni '-ed it, fell over an ash
box, scraped acquaintance with the
garbage kettle, gave a twenty-foOt
emergency call which awcke not only
his family, but also everybody in the
neighborhocd waited five minutes for
somebody to let him in the back way;
quickly explained the situation; seized
stout club made his way to the front
door, vowing vengeance as he went
and confident of the success of his san.
culinary plans. He opened the door
cautiously for fear Of disturbing the
brutes, which he intended to attack Oh
the rear and left flank. and found thai
the porch was vacant. Under the lamp
pest, about ten feet away stood the two
CANNES, talking the matter over in tn,
best doglish language, While down tn,
street a short distance was another dos
vociferously conjugating the verl
"IhOwl."

man and seemed TO say:

with It the frequent asking Of direc-
tions for reaching certain places With
the same objective point in view the
directions vary with the character and
habits OF the persons questioned. For
instance the Wayfarer has a friend OF
convivial haLits who will invariably
tell you that the place you are seeking
is so far from such and such a brewery
or saloon. There might be church
next door to the place sought, but he
would never think of giving that for
guidance. He runs his ranges entirely
by breweries and saloons, because he
finds in them the greatest enjoyment
of his life and they are along the
channel he sails. Take another man
Of steady habits and church-going pro-
pensities and he will tell you that the
place is so far from such and such a
church The place sought may be
within the shadow of a big brewery,
with the church four squares away, but
he loses sight Of the brewery entirely.
He runs the ranges by means of the
churches, the Y M. c. A., the Door OF
Hope and kindred institutions. II Is
amusing to note the different ranges of
dl4erent men, and by noting them
carefully you can form a rather clever
estimate Of where he puts in most of
his time.

JANITOR PLAYED DUCK FOR
TIME

JanitOr Thomas Scott, of the County
Court House. and friend named Viii
liam Kates, went out ducking on
Blaokbird creek several days ago, but
the janitor has not been telling any
fairy tales about the number of ducks
killed, for there was an incident con-
nected with the excursion which was
not on his itinerary and which he
would like to forget.
They were rowing down the stream,
watching for ducks as they went, when
the boat struck and ran up on a snag.
Janitor Scott stood up and took hold
of an overhanging limb to shove the
boat off. While i'm the act of doing so
he lost his balance and went over
board. He flOundered around i'm the
wafer and the waves he made lifted
the boat off the snag and she got be-
yond reach He struck OFF for shore.
and said that if Kates had shot at him
while he was playing duck it would
have completed the picture.
Blackbird creek is one OF the crook
edest streams on the face of the earth.
and when finally the janitor reached
shore and dragged himself up on the
bank he locked around in a bewii-
dered manner and yelled to Kates.
Say, Bill, can you tell me which
side Of the creek l am on?"
Bill laughed and answered Il thinI,
you're on that, side, but a minute ago
YOU were spread over both sides and
