in the question: Why has this property

could trust to work the mine for them,
and did not care to put the money in

that the iniquity of Ellis house was
not purged with sacrifice nor offering

What a contrast to Els weakness in
restraining his SONS is the declaration
of that plain old soldier, Joshua. "As
for me and my house we will serve the
Lord" There does not seem to have
been the remotest idea in his MUD
that his house would not do what he
intended it should. If Joshua's sons
were mixed up in that business of the
golden calf. doubtless they remembered
it the longest day they lived. Nor
were his daughters permitted to in
dulge in the worship Of Egyptian or
Amorite deities because it happened
to be fashionable. A cody man will
have his influence lost and his life
work wasted because OF unrestrained
and wicked children. But the house

IDLE FORTUNES.
Great Sums of Money in Old Stamps
Awaiting the Finde

GEeaG Sums OF money HI OAO SG0-AAkS
Awaiting the Finder.
By H. Flachskamm, Secretary and Treasurer of
The Standard Stamp Co.
Few people know that many of the old
stamps living idle on letters andS ape of
by gone days, in their old trunks and gar
rsts, are worth large sums OF money. Many
of the readers of this paper have Locked away
somewhere old stamps that are worth from
ten to q hundred dollars each, aud may be
readily turned to cash. Handsome reward
has frequently mt the hunter of old stamps,
a case of recent occurrence being that OF the
~ianitor of the Louis lille (Ky.) Court House,
who received several thousand doLar Tor
stamps found among waste paper, which had
been consigned to the scrap basket to be
burned.
Among the most valuable Of these old
stamps are some of those issued during the
recent un-pleasantness by cities and States OF
the COnfederacy, fabulous prices having been
paid for rare specimens. The price once
obtained for a single Confederate stamp was
enough to keep a family in comfort for g
year. This stamp was found by a lady in
JeffersOnville, Ga, and was mailed from
Macon, Ga, in 1851. It was purchased and
then resOld in s.. Louis, in 1895, for
over a thousand dollars. There are I'M
u~uestiOnably still q great many of these
local stamps to b 2 found in the South. This
stamp was the Macon Ga, stamp shown
in illustration No. 1, and was not known to
exist before this specimen was found. Others
may have been used in various cities of the
South during the civil war, which will bring
equally as high prices.

The stamp shown in Illustration No. 5
stamp-hunter will quickly become fascinated
with the work, besides reaping a profitable
reward. The best way to go about it is to
closets for the letters and papers of forty odd
years ago; go amongst your neighbOrs and
get what they have, and, if possible, get per
lett ers and papers in the Court House; then
send them, all together, to some reliable
dealer, who will cheerfully sort them over,
appraise them, and notify you of their cash
value, which you can either accept or they
will + eturn the stamps as you direct.
Alittle trouble looking up these old stamps
during the winter months would lift many a
mortgage.

All these stamps are valuable, the ommon
est, those fNew York City, being worth $500
each, while the others range as high as 500
each, or even more. In 1913 to 1850 lOcalmail
carriers and express companies competed
with the government, issuing their own
stamps. Some of these were printed in the
p%lainest, cheapest way, while others were of
elaborate designs, but all will well repay the
finder for his trouble. BefOr the COnfeder-
ate Government was able to supply stamps
many of the postmasters in the South had
printed stamps for their patrons, many Of
a press; such stamps are frequently found in
lots ranging in value from $25 to So, 900,

The revenue stamps which were required
on all documents as Twar tax in 1875 will
be found on old deeds and mortgages, those
of $500 and $500 being especially desirable.
In those days few envelopes were used, let
tiers being written on a large sheet, which
was then folded so as to form an envelOpefOr
itself. The entire envelope and letter should
be preserved, as they add to the value OF the
stamp by attesting its genuineness: The
age stamps regularly in 1847, but prior to
this time pOstm asters of some of the cities of
the United States had issued stamps on their
own account. Among those who issued stamps
in this way were Alexandria, Va, Baltimore,
Md, Brattleboro. VT, Millbury, Mass,
New York City, Providence, R. L, and st.
Louis, Mo-, while stamped envelopes were
issued by the postmasters of Annapolis, Md ,
Baltimore, Md, and New Haven, Conn.

PRINCETON, May 16.-Princeton stu
dents and Pawnee Bills Wild West
employees INDUCED in a pitched battle
yesterday and continuous and serious
rioting was prevented only by the pres.
ence of men with cool heads and the ac-
ton Of President Patton of Princeton
university, later in the day in calling a
mass meeting of all of the students.
For 80 years it has been an unwritten
law of Princeton that no circus parade
must pass through the streets.
Yesterday Pawnee Bills Wild West
combination violated traditions and pa
raded. The result was the fiercest bat.
tie Princeton has seen in many years.
AS result of the days fight one man
is unconscious and may die, and num-
Der Of students and employees of the
show are nursing wounds received in
the fray. That the show would be up
set at night seemed certainty until
President Patton called mass meeting
of the undergraduates and the faculty
and the result of the meeting indicates
that the show will leave town unmo.
Tested, but it will have lost money, for
word has been passed through the town
that no one is to enter the tent
