What Like best.

A very dear friend has asked me
to write article on uWhat / Like
Best That Is asking me to per-
form quite task There Is so much
in this world that | like that 1t Is
hard for me to tell what like best.
But II there Is anything that / like
above everything else it Is bright,
sweet home. A home that is full of
sunshine, full of gladness, home
that is often ringing with heartfelt
merry laughter; home that is free
from muttering, scolding, complain
ing and crossness. ! do not say a
home "where shadows never come,
whrre sorrows never fall. | do
not know that that can be, but a
home where the inmates are taught
and know how to bear meekly and
sweetly without signs and groans
the unavoidable sorrows and afTlic-
tions of life, that know how to let
the face be bright and smiling under
the darkest shadows. A home where
the divine attribute, love, is en-
throned and rules and reigns; a
home in which it is like a sweet ben
ediction to be. II is said that the
three sweetest words in our language
are mother. home and heaven. o."
There is one other word that to me
has ever been as sweet, If not
sweeter, but | cannot now mention
it. To the noble, good and pure
there is no place sweeter than home.
There is nothing that lies closer to
a pure, loving heart than home. !
like it best because my heart fingers
there, because il is as IL should be
"a shelter in the time Of storm" 4
like it best because mother, sis
ter, sweetheart, wife are there. |
like 1t because ii is the garden III
which grows the brightest, sweetest
roses of life; because mother reigns
queen there. How careful the
queen should be to impress upon
her loved one that there was never
"a truer sentence spoken or written
than there's no place like home. -
Heaven, that bright, sweet world
of bliss and glory, is called home.
There is a feeling Of freedom. Of
safety, of honest welcome in home
that can be felt no where else. The
world may frowu on me but home
ever meets aud sTeets me with its
smiles. Even "the wistful dog
looks up and whines "A welcome
home When reverses come and
friends, who thrive by fawuing,
forsake me and pass me by with
cold politeness, home throws its
loving arms about me and drops a
tear OF sympathy TO soothe my ach-
ing heart. The very atmosphere Of
n bright, sweet home warns and ex-
pands the heart that the storms and
reverses of the world may have
chilled and caused TO grow cold and
hard. 1t is the only place on earth
that is free from fraud and decep-
tion; the only place that will throw
the mantle OF true love and forgive
ness over our faults and failinRs.
The smiles Of a sweet home are an
adulterated by deception; they are
earnest. they are real, they come
from the heart. Sweet home il the
nursery where are grown the bright
est gems that adorn society, the
sweetness OF whose lives IL like the
fragrance of the rose. Oh. how care
full we should ever be To- keep loves
lamp burning In our homes

Gospel for the eighth Sunday after
Pentecost is from ST. Luke. xvi:1-e
At that time, Jesus spoke to His dis
ciples this parable: There was a GER
tain rich man who had a steward; and
the same was accused unto him that
he had wasted his goods. And ne called
him. and said to him: How is it that
hear this of thee? give an account Of
thy stewardship. for now thou canst
be steward no longer. And the steward
said within himself: What shall / do,
because my lord taketh away from me
the stewardship To dig / am not able:
20 beg ! am ashamed. l know what
will do that when l shall be removed
from the stewardship, they may receive
me into their houses. Therefore calling
together every one OF his lords debtors
he said to the first: How much dost
thou owe my lord2 But he said: A hun
dred barrels Of oil And he said to him:
Take thy BILL, and sit down quickly.
and write fifty Then he said to an
other: And how much dost thou owe?
who said: A hundred quarters or
wheat He said TO him: Take thy bill
and write eighty And the lord COM
mended the unjust steward. forasmuch
as he had done wisely; for the children
of this world are wiser in their gen
Grafton than the children OF light And
I say TO you: Make unto you friends
OF the mammon OF iniquity. that when
you shall fail. they may receive you
into everlasting dwellings.

POSTAL INSPECTORS. PROPOSE ROUGH PLAN
FOR IDENTIFYING ALL POSTAGE STAMPS
Indicating Poste Which Issued
of Chicago

stamps had been adopted last year the
theft OF $4,000 worth OF stamps from
the Chicago postofHce would probably
not have occurred. No thief could dis
pose OF such a large number of stamps
so we'll marked that they could be iden-
titled as coming from the Chicago Office
Until this time inspectors have not
found any OF the stamps taken from the
Chicago Office. ard they believe the
stamps are still held by the thieves
Among the property was 500 worth OF
special delivery stamps. All the 3
cent stamps taken were of the type in
use last year. II they have not been
disposed of before this time IL is not
likely they will ever be sold. as large
quantity of the old-fashioned stamps in
one part OF the country would imme-
diately arouse suspicion
The Governments loss in stolen
stamps is small considering the great
volume of business done by the Post
Office Department. Aside from the Chi
cage loss. the stamps stolen during the
fiscal year ending June &C. 1902, amount
ed to only 500 900. The report for the
fiscal year, which ended last month, has
not yet been compiled
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-07-25

inspectors are anxious to have the
Postofice Department adopt a series Of
marks for stamps which will make 1t
possible to trace stolen stamps with less
trouble. Department officials are con-
sidering suggestions offered by some OF
the experienced inspectors.
It would be possible TO mark ali the
stamps sent 10 each hrst-class post
Office in such a manner that they could
be identified with ease. A slight varia-
ton In the engraving. which would not
alter the appearance of stamps TO the
casual observer, could easily be made.
One inspector has suggested that darts.
arrows, stars. circles. and other en-
blems be printed on the stamps In such
manner that they may be seen only with
the aid OF a microscope.
x separate mark could not be devised
for each OF the rs. 900 Dostofices in the
United States, and no attempt would be
made at any such complex system OF
Identification. 1t is not likely that post
offices below the first class viii be given
an individual mark. as the number OF
stamps kept at the smaller Offices Is
comparatively small and the losses
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-07-25

from such Offices is not great enough to
justify the expense entailed in providing
them with stamps different from those
used at other Offices.
1t has been suggested that all the
stamps for second-class postofices be
provided with a mark which viii desig-
nate the class OF postoflce from which
they were issued and that a similar
mark be devised for all the stamps sent
to the smaller Offices. This system
would narrow the scope of the inspec-
tors work. and might be adopted at
small expense.
One official is of the opinion that the
best way to mark stamps would be TO
print visible bars across the face of all
stamps excepting those issued to first
class Offices He would have two bars
across the stamps sent TO second-class
Offices. three bars on the third-class Of
fee stamps. and four bars 20 designate
the stamps issued by the fourth-class
Offices. This plan would probably meet
with much opposition. as IL would mar
the artistic appearance OF the engrav-
ing.
