{ The beginner who tries to get as many stamps as. possible without re- gard to their arrangement in sets makes a great mistake. Tn selling a collection complete set of stamps would sell for third or half $ much more than the same catalogue value of single stamps. To have one complete set of each of ten different countries is much more desirable than to own 500 stamps with only two or three to a country.

DIRECTORS:

The above named Company, composed
of business men of Paris, has recently
been incorporated, and for the purpose
of developing their oil and mineral
leases, offer for sale limited number
of shares of stock.
The Company's holdings consist of
leases on nearly 1000 acres of land,
nearly all of which are located in Barren
and Allen Counties, Kentucky. Their
lands have been carefully selected, some
of which adjoin lands on which are Oil
wells that have produced tor years a
very fine grade of oil. Their leases
were secured before the present rush
and excitement began in those Counties,
and are choice lands, and valuable.
Lands, adjacent to Company's, secured
recently by Eastern capitalists at large
price, are now being developed as fast
as machinery can be put on grounds.
Those desiring stock can obtain same
by applying to Secretary or any officers

saries or comforts of life. This duty
to provide for helpless comrades, appeals
with tremendous force to Confederate
veterans themselves. 1t is not possible
for the Confederate veterans in Ken
lucky to make proper provision for any
great length of time for their debilitated
comrades, and as the years come and go,
the men who can help the invalid veter-
ans are decreasing, while the numbers
OF COnfederates who ed help are rapid
ly Increasing.
The committee is of the opinion that,
under all the circumstances, and in view
OF the splendid provisions made by the
National Government for the Federal
veterans who need assistance, the State
OF Kentucky, which gave more than
10000 Of her sons TO the cause of the
South, and who occupied so conspicuous
a place in the Confederate army, and
who, by their courage and gallantry,
brought always credit to their State, will
be glad of an opportunity through rea-
sonable appropriation to provide for the
proper care and support of these Con.
federate veterans.
This committee, therefore, urge upon
the Confederate veterans to make prompt
and generous response to this call and at
the earliest moment to raise the neces-
sary funds for the carrying out of the
plans set forth in the resolutions passed
by the State organization. and they also
ask of such people in Kentucky or else
where as sympathize IN this movement
to aid it by early and liberal contribu-
tions.

And which dead blossom bloomed most gay,
And which lived best: who lived alone,

sEXEs IN THE CITIES.
circumstances that Have Brought
About an Excess of Women There.
Sew orleans Times-

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
We were taught of old that the cities
were the places TO which the energetic and
ambitious boys hocked in order TO get on
in the world. leaving the lassies behind I'm
the country 20 blossom into old maids.
Many have been the articles written Oh
this subject, showing how the farms wete
impoverished of labor by the draft of the
cities on them, and there seemed to be u
great excess OF women IN all the rural dis
tricts.
But this condition of affairs has changed
like many others of late, and the rule is
now almost universal that there is an ex-
cess of women in the urban and of men
i'm the rural districts. The women find city
life the pleasanter and object most strenu-
ously 10 the dreary dullness of the country.
This is the first lesson taught us by the
new census. In all the cities the women
are In a majority. Ii is a woman's age
and the women are able TO crowd men our
OF employment. as the number OF women
workers increases far more rapidly than
the men.
The census shows that there are ga, 1922
males In Boston and 2S5. $40 females. an ex-
cess on the part of the latter of HOSP. AS
the boys and girls are equal in number
this rule is universal-it leaves for the
adults sixteen women to fifteen men. Per-
haps this excess explains the prevalence
of the famous "old maids" of the New
England metropolis.
But the same condition OF affairs prevails
In the South as well. Louisville, for in
stance. has 1881 males to l05. 200 females, a
feminine excess OF 500, or practically six
women to five men.
New Orleans is far worse off In this mat
ter. 1t boasts OF l56.ObI males and Isl, 036
females, or 1883 more women than men.
As his excess IS all in the adults. il means
four women to three men, PROBABLY as large
an excess OF women as is TO be round any,
where In this country, and yet New Or
leans is not. like Boston. famous for it's old
maids. The feminine excess Is greatest
among the negroes. and is due in all prob
ability TO the large number OF domestic
servants. to the army of negro women
who come here from the country TO do
washing or cooking. AT the same time there
is no reason to doubt that women are
crowding men out of work In many lines
OF business. This explains. to some extent.
the change in the character of population of
our cities, as far as the sexes are con-
cerned. and the fact that women are in
a majority to-day. where men were more
numerous twenty years ago.

Young Sailor Explains the Cause of Charge of Deser-
 tion-WantS to Return

H. Cadmean, alias John Cadmean, charged with being a deserter from the United States navy, who was arrested Saturday by Officer waldrop and locked in the city prison pending an investiga- tion, made the following statement last night:
 T enlisted in the United States navy in Chicago last February, and was sent to the training ship Topeka at Port Royal, s. c. Last week I received a forty-eight hour furlough, and came to Birmingham intending to return immed- lately. After reaching Birmingham I found myself without any funds, and Saturday I applied to Chief Austin for transportation back to Port Royal, stat ing my case to him fully. Chief Austin decided to investigate the matter and immediately wired the captain in charge of the training ship. concerning the mat ter suppose I will be detained until a reply is received to release me or until an officer arrives to carry me back to Port Royal"
 Cadmean also stated that he was very glad to be in the city prison, as he had no other place to sleep.
 In regard to this matter Chief Austin stated that he had detained Cadmean up- on his own confession, and would hold him until instructions were received from the officials at Port Royal. &
