RARE PAN-AMERIcAN STAMPS
Some With Inverted Centres Sold at
Fifteen Dollars Each.

NEW YORK. May 12.-At least one
sheet of the 2-cent Pan-American postage
stamps has been found with inverted cen
tre-something that occurs occasionally
when a stamp is printed in two colors.
The person who obtained the freak sheet
made the rounds of local stamp dealers
yesterday Offering to sell the stamps for
the modest sum of Sl5 each. One dealer
was told by him that thirty had been sold
at that rate, but that the others could go
at the rate of four for $50 Whatever
sales were effected were to collectors, as
the dealers refuse TO buy such oddities
until they have ascertained how many
there are in existence. AS one dealer said
today, there may be thousands. and the
value naturally depends on the relative
scarcity. If only half dozen sheets We're
misprinted, the price demanded would not
be deemed excessive
The last time such an inversion was
found on United States stamps was in
the case of the two-coIored revenues is
sued about twenty-five years ago; they
were few in number and some are sold
now at S25 each.

There are some discomforts connected
with kingship calculated to make one
thankful that he was not born in that
station of life. The new King of Eng
land is an example. on ascending the
throne he had to give up all clubs, his
cronies, and his favorite amusements, and
flock all alone by himself. Then an Irish
paper vilifies him brutally, and at length
the gossip-mongers have him fast going
with the dread disease that killed his
brother Alfred-cancer of the throat. Be
ing king is not desirable way of earn

is the old problem of evolution over
| again. Theology rested on the assump-
tion that each animal existed to per-
form certain function; evolution as
serts that he exists because he can per-
form that function. The cat does not
live for the purpose of catching mice;
obviously there are too many cats now
for that job; she lives because she can
catch mice. The general attitude to-
ward the waiter, the barber, the valet.
the cook is that he has been evolved
for the purpose of doing his work. and
that that is his only excuse for being;
and If this be true, he is perhaps an in
ferior being. But if his work is a
means to an end, and not all there is of
him, if he lives because he can do that
work better than anybody else, because
he is able to do something that other
people cannot do, he knows something
of the dignity of labor, because others
are dependent on him. In new coun-
try, all this counts; and that is why a
new country is likely to be democratic
The carpenter there is not treated as
