A POSTAGE STAMP.
It Might Have Become the Most valu-

It Might Have Become the Most Valu.
able in the World.
In the year. 1851 a 12-penny black
Canadian postage stamp was printed
by the Government of Ottawa, says
the Outlook. The public did not re-
gard this somber issue with favor, so
few were Issued. One of these stamps
vas sent to the Hamilton postofice,
where it was sold to IN old gentleman,
who said 1t was q shame to print the
Queens picture on a stamp that might
be handled by profane hands. Tender
~ the gentleman put 1t ON a parcel,
sending 1t to a friend in the United
States. Here, in the wastebasket, it lay
for many a day. till an errand boy
found it, and quickly transferred it to
his album. Despairing of getting a
good collection, and his fever somewhat
abating, he sold them to a dealer. The
new owner, on looking at the catalogue,
found that what he had paid IS for was
worth sos. Accidentally this stamp was
slipped into a 25-cent packet, and sent
to a dealer residing in Hamilton. When
the latter opened the packet he was as
L OAAl0aS = LIZ SuNu IL ts1uuUlc 6lumn.
and, being honest, wrote his friend to
inform him of what had happened,
Offering him $1,000 for it. The offer
was accepted and the stamp again
changed hands. By this time the stamp
had increased in value, and not a few
came from a distance to look at the
treasure. One day an English noble
man, who. through n Canadian friend.
had heard of the stamp. offered $500,
which offer was accepted. The English
lord, falling in love with an American
heiress. and wishing to gain the favor
of her brother, presented him with the
stamp as a token of his esteem. Here.
in its new and luxurious American
home, it came to a sad end, for one
day the maid. by a mistake, swept the
stamp, which had accidentally fallen
out Of the album, into the fire. In an
instant the stamp. which thousands
had heard Of and longed for, went up
In smoke to the broad blue sky, leaving
not a trace behind.

SAMUEL ooMPERs
Como characteristics Of the Eanors

Come Characteristics Of the Famous,
American Labor Leader.
Samuel Gompers, the American labor,
leader, is as conservative as the English'
leader, Burns, Is radical. Where the
latter Bays strike, Gompers says arbi-
trate. II cannot" he once said. "much'
as l hate oppression, endure the sight
Of hunger"
The nation owes a bigger debt OF graf
itude to Somuel Gompers, president OF
the American Federation Of Labor, than
most people imagine. Had it not been
for the rock-like firmness with which,
for nearly a fortnight. this nan stood.
against q conference.-the strike of SYM
patty with the Pullman men, there
might have been an uprising Of organ
lied labor, compared with which the,
strikes and riots that really did occur,
would have been mere child's play.
Mr.. Gompers' diplomacy was not less
striking than his wisdom. He at no
time said that he would not advise q
strike. He simply, by delaying action,
gave his followers time to think. When
they had thought, they saw the master
fulness of his course. Mr.. Gompers
proved himself to be q general worthy
Of leading so great an organization a.
the Federation.
Samuel Gompers is an American by
adoption. He is Of German descent as
his name indicates, though Of English
birth. Thirty-eight years ago he was
apprenticed to a shoemaker in London.
Then he was a lad Of 10, with no bright
er prospects, no greater advantages
than those OF ten thousand other ap-
prentice boys of the worlds metropolis.
To-day he is the executive head Of the
most extensive combination Of labor
unions In the world. In this capacity

Tan Men.

That corn bread makes big men
physically is proved by the fact that the
six-footers of Indiana. Illinois and
Kentucky, as a rule. were brought up
on hominy or corn bread as the main
food supply. A table in any of the
rural districts in those States on which
there is 40 dish prepared from corn is
a curiosity. and in those States men
who fall below the stature Of 1--WE feet
are dwarfs. Six feet is the regulation
size. and men who tower considerably
above this height are accepted by the
course climatic influence must be con-
sidered when stature Is under discus
sion. but the food forms the basis Of
calculation.

Of which that Of other labor leaders Is

00Colng.
The lad did not like the shoemaker's
trade, and, his release being secured.
he learned to make cigars, becoming
proficient by the time he was Is. Then,
with his fathers family, he came to
America. Down to the time he began
to work in the shoe shops, he attended
day school regularly. After that he
continued his studies at a night school,
where he applied himself so eagerly as
to excite the especial attention Of his
teachers.
Upon his arrival in America he Joined
a New York cigarmakers' union, and
his gift Of common sense and his power
to express his thoughts logically and
clearly quickly made him a prominent
member. Later he was repeatedly sent
as delegate to the International union.
When David 3. Hill was Governor.
he wished to make Mr.. Gompers a mem
Der of the State Board of Arbitration al
a salary Of $1,000. The tender was
courteously declined.
III I should accept a political ap-
pointment," said Mr.. Gompers, "my
usefulness in labor organizations would
be entirely and permanently destroyed"
In 1882 Mr.. Gompers was made presi-
dent of the American Federation Of La
Dor, and now holds that Office. His sal
asy is but $1,000 a year, less than he
could earn at his trade in good times,
and a far smaller sum than could be
commanded by a mar Of his unusual
natural abilities and self-won acquire.
ments in the business world.

smoking Before Tobacco.

There is some reason to think that
people smoked before tobacco was in
trOduced. In several old books of house.
wifery certain herbs named are to be
'smOaked," which means, perhaps, in
haling. as we should say: but the other
Specification is by no mean impossible.
a vast number of clay pipes have been
found under conditions which seem to
prove that they We're deposited long
before Ralcigh's birth; and Il pipe of

day. At an antiquarian meeting many
years ago an old gentleman told how
his grandfather used to give him cop

Observation-Disclosures gather "buck-
bane." which the veteran smoked to
relive asthma. That reminiscence car
rics us back a century and Il half, and
it is probable thai buck-bane had been
used for asthma ''time out of mind"
If people We're already familiar with
the practice of smoking herbs we
should have an explanation of the as
tonishing rapidlty with which they
took to tobacco. 1t may be noted that
Cartier found the Indians of Hochel-
aga, on the st. Lawrence. smoking an
herb which we recognize from his de-
scription as lobelia. as well rs tobacco.
His sailors did not cure for the latter,

Representative Payne, of New York,
chairman of the House Committee on
Ways and Means, is certain that the
present Congress will do nc tariff tin
kering. THE Fifty-sixth Congress has
important work on its hands," said he
in a recent interview. 'There will be
no tariff legislation during the present
session. The condition Of the country
is today thoroughly prosperous and
will continue so unless ill-advised and
radical legislation affecting the business
and financial interests Of the nation is
enacted during the next few years.
1.-THE country demands and should
have a settled and assured policy in re-
spect to those questions. The Dingley
law as a revenue producer has more
than satisfied those responsible for its
enactment, and has proved gratifying
to the people Of the country generally.
cit has furnished ample revenue to
carry on the Government from the mo.
ment the sugar and wool schedules be-
gan to operate. l am convinced that
the happy results it has produced will
be permanent"
Representative Payne is right. The
Dingley law has proved so satisfactory
and in all ways beneficial to the coun-
try that the people have no desire to
Interrupt its operations for some time

tration sold over $262, 100000 in inter-

which to maintain the gold reserve and
to pay current expenses Of the Govern

Contrast
Under Cleveland and free trade we
had peace and no extraordinary ex-
penses Of any kind, and the govern
ment was obliged to issue bonds in or
der to keep good the national credit
and to get gold for depleted and
well-nigh empty treasury. Under Nc
Kinley and protection we are conduct
ing a costly war, yet, to relieve strin-
gency in the money market, the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury has offered to take
from an overlooking treasury $25,O0O.-
600. and put 1t into general circulation
by buying bonds to that amount. The
contrasting circumstances outline in
vivid colors the difference there is, in
respect to the condition Of our national
finances, between free trade and pro.
lection. \

FAKES.
Look Out For Them and Nail Them to
the Cross by Refusing to Pat
ronize Them in any way.

Now that this country is coming
to the front and men and money
flowing in, we are beginning to
suffer from that human pest known
as the cake" He comes in the
guise known as the eye or ear
doctor, an upholsterer, OF insur-
ance agent, or some other cure all
or mend all pretension, and our
people listen and are taken in.
They are swindled and they think
they will beware the next time.
But the next time he comes in
some other plausible guise and
the result is the same.
These fakes and swindlers will
multiply from this on and it be-
hoves our people to be on the
lookout for them-if they care to
save their money. These men
pretend to sell their wares or do
their work far cheaper than any
one else, but their work is very
costly or their wares very dear
at any price and if you do not wish
to rue your bargain give them the
cold shoulder.
Stay by your merchants and
professional men. They are the
ones to patronise under all cir.
cumstances and if their prices are
not right or their goods not as
represented they can be made tc
make matters right. MOI SO with
your fekir. Before you discover
the fraud he has practiced on you
he is out of the country and ever
though you catch him you cannot
make him refund or recover dam
ages-for he is worth nothing. Il
you do not wish to be swindlec
give all such men the cold should
err.

Grade the Streets.

The condition of the streets of
this town just at this time en-
phasize the fact that they are bad
ly in need of grading. There are
numerous duck ponds here and
there all over town and they pre-
sent anything but a pleasant az
pearance. 1t is a very difficult
matter for a lady to get over any
off the street crossings without
losing an overshoe or getting her
skirts badly n.uddied. Something
should be done toward relieving
the town of the ponds of mud and
water that are to be found in froLt
of every business house for they
are not only a great nuisance but
an eye sore to every beholder.
