Must Quit Using "Play stamps"

Spokane, Wash. April A Spokane
student attached imitation stamps to
four letters and sent them through the
mails. As a result, every business col
lege In the United States must quit
the use Of these play stamps and the
factory az Columbus, Ohio, must quit
printing them. The stamps bear the
words Imitation postage" but the let
ters are very small, and the imitation
was close enough TO carry four letters
10 their destination. One went to the
deadetter office, and II is supposed
came under the eyes Of the Washing
ton officials This resulted In a sharp
letter to Postmaster Harrison, order
ing the destruction Of all the bogus
stamps and declaring that a further
offense would mean vigorous prosecu-
ton and term In the federal peni-
Tertiary. The letter was read In the
Blair business college today. The
name Of the offending student Is with

WOMENs CHEAT WORK.
What They are Doing in Forsyth for the Bet
terment OF Schools.

WOMEN'S GREAT DIRK g.. g.. 6. 3D..
The work of the Women's Association
for the Betterment of Public School
Houses and Grounds goes forward in
Forsyth. The extracts given below from
a letter received by the State Supern-
tendent of Public Instruction from Mrs
Lucy B. Patterson. president of the Wo
mems Association for the Bettermcnt
of Public School Houses of Forsyth
county, is very encouraging This letter
shows what two earnest. patriotic wo
men can do for this work. 1t IS hoped
that other women in other counties may
be stimulated by the successful efforts
of those two Jealous women in Forsyth
to undertake similar work in their coun-
ties and that they may get some valua-
BILE suggestions about the work FROM
this letter. 1t is great work If the
women of the State set their hands to
this work it will be done
Winston Salem, N c.. Dec. II, 1902.
Dear Mr.. Joyner: Within the last
three weeks Mrs. Ebert and l have
driven two hundred miles and visited
thirty of the seventy schools in Forsyth.
1 take great pleasure in telling you
that all but two have promised to i'm
prove iOuoCO anu SIOuiluc, LlGI tDy w III
ming the Youths Companion" pictures.
Twenty schools are raising money for a
library, twelve of the twenty having sent
in ten dollars. Now as only six get
State aid, l am greatly exercised over
the disappointed ones. After Christmas
when we begin our rounds, we don't know
whether to drop our library talks or not.
We have been so phenominally success
full that it seems shame not to con-
tinue.
Our plan of work is very simple, but
very systematic. We visit all the
schools in a township taking one or two
days. We talk to teachers, committee
men, parents and children. We then re-
port in full to our city papers, sending
copies to all that are interested. As much
as possible we have attended township
meetings, as in that way we meet more
committeeman. 1t has not been custom
airy for our county superintendent to
visit schools but we think he should,
and have so told him. With but one ex-
ception, the school houses have been
good and with three exceptions the
teachers are good. The fault lies with
ignorant parents and negligent commit
teemen. Whenever possible we ask COM
mitteemen to visit parents not sending
children and try to induce them to do so.

WOMEN TO FIG ST WATTS PAINTING
Nude Pictures in love and Life" are
Immortal.

President Roosevelt is not particularly
pleased with the prospects which faces
him of a war with several hundred thou
sand members of the Womens Christian
Temperance Union. That a campaign in
volving, perhaps, letters from each and
all Of the members of that very numer-
GUS body is to be begun, is stated by
Mrs. Emily D. Martin. national super
intendent of purity in literature and art
for the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
The trouble grows out of a picture
This is Watts famous Love and Life
which was removed from the White House
to the Corcoran gallery during President
Cleveland's last administration on account
of the criticism brought to bear upon
the picture by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, which was shocked by
the nude figures in the picture
Love and Life" was sent to the
Worlds Fair in Chicago, where it excited
more admiration than almost any other
canvas exhibited. At the close of the
fair it was presented to the United States
government by the artist, and was con-
signed to the White House for hanging.
The Womans Christian Temperance
Union Immediately began an onslaught
of criticism against Watts beautiful pic
ture. contending that the nude figures
of the woman and man, which give the
canvas its name. were immoral in effect
and should be removed from the historic
mansion. There was so much criticism
of the picture that President Cleveland
reluctantly consented to its removal to
the Corcoran gallery, where it was sent
in 1895, No subsequent President cared
to brook the criticism of the woman's or
ganzation, and it was left in the gallery,
where it was admired by thousands OF
people.
President Roosevelt ordered its removal
and has given it the place OF honor III

To the Effect That They Cannot

ON ACCOUNT OF AN ORDER
POSITIONS AFTER MARRYING.
The Free Delivery Boss Also Fol-
lows Suit With an Order.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Postmaster
General Payne's order which becomes
operative December 1, to the effect
that female clerks cannot hold their
positions after marrying, is causing
CONSERVATION in the postal service.
Superintendent Machen, of the free
delivery system, has followed this
order with a circular to all married
women in his bureau, requesting
from each written statement as to
the occupation of their husbands, if
he is employed by the government.
| This additional request caused much
talk and some excitement among Mr..
Machen's clerks, on the theory that it
has in view the discharge from the
service of either husband or wife, if
both are in the department. This is,
Of course, a long advance on the
Postmaster Generals order. Those
women clerks who appear on the pay
rolls of the postoffice department as
married complain that every woman
should be requested to answer Mr..
| Machen's questions, inasmuch as
| there are number of them employed
in the department who appear as sim
gle, but who, in fact, are married.
| 1t is said that the next move on the
board will be a circular to the men,
who also have been slated to answer
a question sheet. 1t is thought that
in this manner the department will
| be enable to. find out how many of the
clerks are married and how many of
the husbands and wives are entirely
supported by Uncle Sam.
There is now very little doubt that
the postoffce department intends to
separate from the service all of those
women clerks whose husbands are also
i'll the government employ.
Postmaster General Payne's order is
making business for the clerk of the
court who issues marriage certificates.
! A number of those who were on
the brink of matrimony concluded
that they might as well get married
before the day when Mr.. Payne's or
der goes into operation, SO that it
would not affect them, and the list
of marriage licenses yesterday was the
longest on record.
