ODD SUBSTITUTE FOR STAMPS.
o2e1ais st Psst oAse at New Yorh ossy Hssd Lstters Bea,iAg ofd
 sshia Dlastsrs.s

Officials at the general post office in New York city are interested in letters which were dropped" there on Tues. day and which are being held for post age. because instead of stamps shin pIasters" of 35 years ago were gummed to them. The name of the person who posted the letters Is known. He has committed no offense against the law, but has failed in some scheme to have the shinplasters stamped with can ceiling stamp as are regular postage stamps.
 "Thsre were" said an official. half q dozen letters dropped here. Where two-cent stamps should have been used were fve-cent, ten-cent, twenty hve-cent and ffty-cent war shinplas- ters. They were carefully gummed to the right hand top corner of the en- velopes, where the postage stamps should have been. All the letters were held for postage.
 "The man has not been identified as a practical joker or philatel list. His aim in sffixing shinplasters to envel- opes is obscure. As it stands il looks to me as if the mailer of the letters wanted the shinpiasters canceled.
 Such authenticationx are often se- cured by philatelists. It makes their specimens all the more valuable. In one instance that I remember a five dollar Columbia stamp had the place of a two-cent stamp. It, of course, went through"

One in a Hundred.

The first year of the new century is gone; there are ninety-nine years left for improvement. Messrs N. w. Aver & Son, the promoters of adver- Using, having begun early in their efforts to make the second year better than the first. Their Twentieth Cen tury Calendar, issued about this time last year. it was thought, approached near the limits of the art preservative and the demands of utility-but the 1902 calendar is better. As usual, the background and main sheet of this calendar is an art work, enhanced in beauty by the tasteful colors of the printer. The twelve sheets con taining the dates of the months have a restful dark green background, the large figures in white, catching the eye at a great distance. In each sheet are epigrammatic sentences bearing on the possibilities of busi- ness during the year. Though this calendar marks the passing of one year in a hundred, it is in itself one calendar in a thousand for artistic beauty and real usefulness. The de- mand is always great, and who ever would have a copy should send 25c. before the edition runs low. This is a mere nominal price to cover the cost of printing, handling and post age.

FARMING ON A LARGE SCALE.
as Carried On in the Pacific Coast Region.

The department of agriculture has issued a report on the general agri- cultural conditions in the Pacific coast region. It says that although the ten dency for the past 25 years has been toward a gradual reduction in the area of individual farms and ranches they are still of size much larger than the average farm of the east or even of the middle west. It is par ticularly true in California. Another distinctive feature, especially in the great valley areas of California, is the use of machinery of great capacity which means an economy of human labor, but often also means a waste of grain. Every effort is made to com bine several operations into one Transportation of the enormous quan tity of Pacific coast wheat has beer reduced to a science. A large saving IS made by loading ships directly froU the cars, trains being run from the wheat helda to tidewater at a very few hours notice. In Washington anc Oregon, however, the wheat is TUT through an elevator, where 1t is re cleaned and mixed with other grade. of wheat to bring it to the required standard grade, after which it is re sacked and loaded on the vessels oI cars for final shipment. About 27,45O,. 900 bushels of wheat are exported an nually from the Pacific coast, with total value of about SEQ. .O00. 900. Of the 9,OO0. 900 barrels of four annually shipped from the Pacific coast ports during the past ten years, nearly one half is cleared at San Francisco. The report says it has taken about 36.000.- 900 bushels of wheat to supply the for. eign markets with Pacific coast wheat and flour. Of this amount California ports furnished more than 90,000, ,0N husheIa

Case of lump Ja W.

J. NJ. Sendusky, with the "ToC Rich To Marry" company was travel ing in old Mexico a few years ago when he had an experience with a hotel keeper that he has never for gotten.
 Sendusky was afflicted with the toothache. He could find no dentist that he would trust with the job of extricating the unruly molar, so he had to just let it ache. He tried hot cloths, mustard poultices and all such home made remedies, but in spite of all, the tooth throbbed like a steam engine and his face swelled up big as the starboard side of the fat mans face in side show.
 Of course Sendusky could not tall. plain with such a jaw. When he was ready to leave the hotel he stepped up to the landlord.
 "How much do I owe7" asked Sen dusky as best he could with the bad case of lump jaw that he was afflicted with.
 "One dollar a day." answered the landlord.
 "Geewhizthatscheap," Inumbled the guest trying to speak pisin but failing to.
 "Well, if that is too much, l make it fifty cents a day." said the ;cc1 a landlord.

Soon Be Here.

When Edwin Owens Towne wrote the beautiful comedy, "Too Rich to Marry he did not do so in a hit or miss manner. He wrote it with a thorough knowledge of the people whose odd ways he was borrowing to furnish the comedy in the piece.
 The beliefs of the religious sect known as Dunkards, theirquaint char acteristics, and their queer ideas of the world, afforded Mir. Towne plenty of humorous situations and enough pathos to make his picture comedy highly entertaining and far above the average in quality. Mir. Towne has a thorough knowledge of the Dunkards, their manners of living, and their quaint ideas, so that one who sees his picture comedy ''Too Rich to Marry" will receive the right impression about the Dunkards. Mir. Towne has sstudied them and lived among them and knows whereof he writes.
 The comedy will be at the Dake opera house Thursday, January 2nd.

Vaccination Facts.

Here are some impressive facts for the i-vaccinationists. In London, when 420 cases had been reported, up to last Saturday, the rate mortality among the vaccinated was twenty per cent. All of the twenty-three small pox patients under five years of age were unvaccinated, and nineteen died. Of those under ten all but one were vaccinated and twenty nine out of forty two died. Of eighty one chil- dren under fifteen years of age fifty seven were vaccinated and thirty eight died; twenty four were vaccina- ted and twenty three of them recov- cred. Out of fourteen unvaccinated patients under over forty years of age twelve died. The disease seems to have taken on very virulent type in London, judging by the number of deaths.

PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS FROM
 PRESIDENTS MESSAGE,

The man who advocates anarchy. directly or indirectly in any shape or fashion, or the man who apologies for anarchists and their deeds makes himself accessory to murder before the fact.
 If ever anarchy is triumphant, its triumph will last for but one red moment, to be succeeded for ages by the gloomy night of despotism.
 The policy of the government should be to aid irrigation in the sev- eral states and territories.
 Reciprocity must be treated as the handmaiden of protection.
 The phenomenal growth of our ex- port trade emphasizes the urgency of the need for wider markets and for liberal policy in dealing with foreign nations.

 The preservation of our forests is an imperative business necessity. 
 We can all best help ourselves by joining together in the work that is of common interest to all.
 It is not true that as the rich have grown richer the poor have grown poorer.
 The personal equation is the most important factor in a business opera ton.
 Disaster to great business enter prises can never have its effects limit cd to the men at the top. The cap italist may be shorn of his luxuries, but the wage worker may be deprived of even bare necessities.
 Our people intend to abide by the Monroe doclrine and to insist upon it as the one sure means of securing the peace of the western hemisphere.

Lady Sybil Cutting, after brief stay in democratic America, has decided to abandon her title. Hereafter she will be known simply as Mrs. William B. Cutting. Jr.
 Her decision may have been infiu- enced by the fact that, under her urg- ing, her husband has decided to go into the sugar refining business and will begin al the bottom of ths ladder.

Woman Will Remain Woman.

The special Paris correspondent of The Delineator recalls the prophecy of we'll known Frenchman on the subject of evolution of dress, that be- fore many years women will be wear ing altogether masculine attire. One is unable to understand upon what this theory is based, for the Paris ienne of today was never more femi- nine, having made no concessions even for rainy days. Mrs. Van Vorst's letters on dress and gossip in Paris, as we'll as those of Mrs. Aria on the fashions of London in this magazine. are delightfully."- original and up to date and well worth reading from month to month.

A poor complexion is usually the result of torpid liver or irregular ac- ton of the bowels. Unless natures refuse is carried of it will surely cause impure blood. Pimples, boils and other eruptions follow. This is natures method of throwing of the poisons which the bowels failed to re- move. DeWitt's Little Early Risers are world famous for remedying this condition, They stimulate the liver and promote regular and healthy ac- ton of the bowels, but never cause gripping, cramps or distress.

Yuma has ten cases of small pox

Yuma has ten cases of small pox. A Phenix paper in reporting the fact added cipher by mistake and made 100 cases out of ten. Now comes the Jerome Reporter with another cipher added making 1000 cases of small pox in Yuma. As cipher counts for "naught" the original number of cases actually existing in the town, remain unchanged.
 Since the department of agriculture has introduced Japanese rice into this country our yield has almost doubled and our imports have fallen of 8l, 100000 pounds. This is cer- tainly a most commendable form of economies.
 Some small fry democratic papers are inclined to criticise Admirals Ramsey and Lemley for their findings in the Schley case, charging partisan ship against them. There would be just as much fairness and justice in charging partisan bias on the part of Admiral Dewey. While the public generally agree with Dewey's findings there are few people narrow minded enough to believe that he was ac- tuated by any but high minded mo- tives, or that his colleagues on the the court were otherwise influenced.

HAPPY MOTHERS
Whose Strength Equals Their
 Love.

Few women if any shrink from the passing pain of maternity. All they ask is to feel the child's heart beating against their own as they hold it in strong arms to the full fount from which 1t feeds. How rarely the mothers strength keeps pace with her love every woman knows. Often the baby is laid against breast that cannot nourish it, and folded in arms almost too weak to bear the tiny burden. The woman who is strong and whose abundant vitality enables her to nurse her child and enjoy its care is looked upon as a marvel. She IS con-
