The new stamp books will soon be on
sale in every postoffice, and that the peo-
pie will welcome them is assured. Today
I44,75o of the books win be shipped from

needs of persons desiring to carry postage

ance of finding ones stamps stuck tight

the innovation be felt no more. Cases
especially designed for stamps cost money
and are not always effective.

of stamps is sheet Of parafflne paper.
The stamps absolutely refuse to stick to

1t is reported that Mrs. Dewey may
have to 90 to Wichita soon, or send ar
attorney to straighten out title to some
lots owned by her former husband, Gen
eral w. b. Hazen. The lots were won in

eral Hazen. Little attention was paid to
securing a good title, and now. when
Mrs. Dewey wants 70 sell them, she has
found that the title is impaired.
In 1871 Gen. Hazen was stationed at

real estate dealer, engaged in poker
game. and sitting behind four kings,
Hazen buffed the real estate man into
betting fifty town lots. Next day the
deeds were made out and after that Gen.
Hazen dealt extensively in Wichita prop

An Excellent Sentiment
Let's Follow 1t Out.

The sentiment against so much pol
tiles, and in favor OF more business, is
rapidly spreading throughout the
South, and the time is soon coming
when the political enthusiast will de-
vote his time and talent to industrial
enterprises and less to political cam
paigning. This tendency on the part
of leading newspapers is also growing
in popularity, and that may to no lit
tie extent, account for the wonderful
ly prosperous times throughout Dixie.

A DRUNKARD'S SERMON.

Probably no more eloquent
or dramatic sermon on the sin
of drunkenness was ever deliv-
cred than that to which a small
gathering Of drinking men list
ened in a New Orleans bar
room. The drinkers-a group
of well dressed young men, with
plenty Of money, were standing
at the bar when a poor, miser-
able specimen of a tramp push
&c open the swinging door, and
with blared eyes, looked at
them appealingly. They order
ed drink for him, paid for it
and then boastingly demanded
a speech After swallowing the
liquor the tramp gazed at them
for an instant, and then with a
dignity and eloquence that
showed how far he had fallen
in the social world, he began
to speak:

you and myself, and it seems to me
