STORY OF A STAMP
Worth IA Quarter. Then Sl.5OO. Tn
Want I'm In SmnLe.
THE END.

In the year 1851 a %12-penny blacn
by the government at Ottawa. The
public did not regard this somDer is
sue with favor, and few were issued.
One OF these stamps was sem 10 the
Hamilton p%ostoffice. where it was sold
to an old man. who said 1t was a
shame to print the queens picture on
a stamp that might be handled by pro-
fame hands. Tenderly the man put it
on a parcel. sending it to a friend in
the United States. Here, In the waste
basket, II lay for many a day, till an
errand boy found it and qickly trans
ferred il to his album. Despairing of
getting a good collection, and his fe-
yer somewhat abating, he sold them to
"A dealer. The new dealer. on looking
at the catalogue, found that what he
had paid IS for was worth $25. Acct
dentally this stamp was slipped into
a 25-cent packet and sent to a dealer
residing in Hamilton. When the lat
ter opened the packet he was aston
ished to find such a valuable stamp,
and, being honest. wrote his friend to
inform him OF what had happened, Of
fering him 81 200 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 treas.
ure. One day an English nobleman
who, through a friend, had heard OF
the stamp, offered $1,000. which offer
vas accepted. The English lord, fall
ing 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 It's
new and luxurious home, it came to a
sad end, for one day the maid by
mistake swept the stamp, which had
accidentally fallen out Of the album,
into the fire. In ar 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.

Rare Old Bible Found.

A wonderful old Bible has Just been
discovered in Venice. the finder being
Leo s. Olschki, a well-known anti
quarian OF France. 1t Is in five large
volumes, and was printed in Rome. in
the printing house Of Don Pietro Mas
simo, In 147l and 1872. Soon after 1t
came from the press 1t was purchased
by a patrician family of Venice. and 1t
was in the archives OF this family that
Olschki discovered 1t. The edition OF
which 1t forms a part is exceedingly
rare, and very large sums have been
paid for imperfect copies of this Bible.
Olschki paid 81 ESQ ten years ago for a
copy OF which two volumes were miss
ing, and a library in Berlin recently
asked 81, 500 for a mutilated copy. The
copy just discovered Is probably the
finest in the world, and 5000 was
readily paid for 1t by a buyer, who Is

land from behind iron bars, then to

justice Of the peace, and. finally, to

The officers glanced first at one an
other, then at the speaker whose love
OF banter they knew, and the colonel
said disapprovingly:
Don't Jest. doctor. Such things
are no laughing matters. II Roland
is really here, why doesn't he report
at once?"
Because he Is escorting Mrs. Ro-
land to his quarters. One can't blame
a man who has been married only

young wife, He will be here pune

POOR 10 IN DECORATIVE ART.

II Is no longer customary to cry
10! the poor Indian" but 10, the
fine, ~dashing, decorative Indian, SUI
perb in war paint and feathers, who
suddenly burst upon us in wildly col
ored prints not many weeks ago and
took the town by storm. They now
hang in "dens," ~snuggeries, bachelor
girls apartments. studios, and have
even ventured into semi-Oriental coy
corners, which seemingly require that
bit of tribal savagery to strike a
healthy balance. says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. These prints
have found their way in single copies,
in several framed together, or have
been turned into a wall frleZe. where
sporting tastes were uppermost. They
may be bought for the small sum of 81.
As they were originally drawn from
life. the reproductions are worth the
money. Far more interesting are Cal
thorpe series of reproduced Indian por-
traits, dating from 1886 to 1888, and
ordered at that time to be painted for
the United States government. A fine
reproduction of the originals may be
purchased singly, or In sets. at $3.50
each. The southern Indian tribes fig
ure in these prominently, their hand
some faces and half-civilized costumes

bloodthirstiness more familiar to us. A

CHApIER MI


II was sunset at the Union camp.
Colonel Burncy had summoned all the
officers OF the regiment to one of the
little festivities which are often i'm
provised on the march or in camp.
A certain feeling of anxiety per-
vaded the group. Lieutenant Roland.
though expected every minute, had not
yet arrived. The colonel had no rea-
son to conceal the fact that he had
given the young officer q leave of alb
sence or its purpose. True. dangers
and risks were everyday occurrences
in this war; people regarded them as
matters of course and wasted few
words over them, but Roland was, as
his friend expressed It, the darling
of the regiment"
