stamps as playthings had worn off and
she was debating the problem what
next to do with Them it occurred to her
that she might paper her room with
them. Without delay she set about the
task and in the course Of three or four
days had affixed the entire lot of
stamps, some two thousand in all, one
by one upon the wrinscoted wall.
There were enough of the stamps to
cover practically one side of the room
as high as she could reach, and with
the help of some of her girl friends she
succeeded in producing some pretty de-
signs and figures upon the wall.
Years passed on; the little girl out
grew her dolls and playthings and
blossomed into the real Miss Powell.
The playroom, with its boarded parti-
ton and it's unique decorations, was
abandoned by her and thereafter be-
came the storeroom for the family
Some years later Mr.. Powell erected a
residence in another part of the city
and the old home was rented.
A couple of stamps escaped the pa
pering process and found their way
into one of the books in the library, al

value have gone the rounds of stamp
journals, but this is true story. A To-
cal stamp dealer has investigated the
matter personally and vouches for the
accuracy Of the statements.
A quarter of century ago V. r.
Powell of Albany manufactured a GER
tain preparation which at that time re-
quired the affixing of a proprietary
revenue stamp upon each package.
After a time the law imposing stamp
taxes was repealed. Having sveral
thousands of the unused stamps on
hand and there being no further COM
mercial use for them and no market for
their sale to collectors, Mr. Powell,
rather than throw the pretty things
into the stove, took them home to his
daughter, then ten or eleven years old.
That was the last the busy father
thought Of his surplus revenue stamps
One small room in the house had been
set apart for the exclusive use of little
Miss Powell as playroom. The room
was located in an IT, and the parti-
tions were of boards instead of lathand
plaster.
She had long wanted papered room
and one day, when the novelty of the
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1902-11-29

were no stamps upon the wall; nothing
but light-colored paint.
The young man whipped out a PEN
knife and attacked the painted WALL
and after some little scraping and peel
ing came upon the wood. Sure enough
there upon the board could be detected
the coloring, and family, the design of
the stamp, but the paper itself seemed
to have Disappeared; there appeared to
be no texture or fibre.
Inquiry developed the fact that some
years before, when the house was I'M
dergoing repairs, the board walls had
! been treated to two coats of paint. The
present occupant of the house remem-
bered that there had been some doubt
as to whether it would be best to soak
! off the old stamps before painting, but
the painters had assured him that
would be entirely unnecessary, that
there would be no stamps there after
the first coat Of paint.
The brush artists were good guessers
J There was not the slightest outward
| evidence of the existence Of two hun.
dred thousand dollars worth Of stamps
upon the wall!
Various schemes were employed il

known. In after years young man,
while visiting at the new Powell home,
came across the two stamps in the
book.
This young man belonged to a guild
known as philatelists, to use the scien-
tific term, or, in the common vernacu-
lar, stamp cranks, and the instant his
eye fell upon one of the old stamps he
was nearly overcome with phlatelic
paralysis, a diseace common to the
craft. He knew he was beholding the
rarest and highest-priced specimen Of
proprietary stamp and. it made him
faint
When the young man spoke about the
stamps and asked where they came
from and if there were any others, Mr..
Powell laughed and assured the young
man that there were hundreds and per-
haps thousands of them pasted upon a
wall in the old house The young man
evinced desire to know more of the
old house, and Mr. Powell accompanied
him to the scenes of his earlier married
life.
The room referred to by Mr.. Powell
was readily located and the wall was OF
