POSTAGE STAMPS.

The Wasted Ones Net Uncle Sam
Over n Million Year.
An experienced clerk in a branch
post office uptown says that Uncle Sam
is in pocket every year more than
$l,O0O,0O0 by purchase of postage
stamps which never are used.
How many stamps he says, do
you lose through carrying them care
lessly in your pockets and fishing them
out again glued together aud useless /!
How many do you put in a corner Of
your pocketbooS, finding them agaln
months later looking like anything but
postage stamps? OF course nobody
ever thinks of sending such stamps in
for redemption. Suppose the waste l
am speaking Of averaged 20 cents
annually for each business man. The
total would he enormous.
s"Hot weather was a great revenue
maker G1r the government before the
little oiled books came in; but many
persons lose their books, and the aver
age is about the same. Some persons
actually come back to the stamp win.
dow and ask If lost stamp books can
be traced, like bank books. Another
way in which Uncle Sam gains is
through tradesmen sending out letters
incloslng stamped addressed envelopes
for replies, which In the majority Of
cases are never used.
"Some business houses collect such
envelopes and redeem them, but few
take the trouble 10 do this. Think of
the thousands of return postal cards,
too, that are never used. Lots of per.
sons are careless of putting stamps on
letters or papers, and they fall of.
Then the matter is held up for double
postage on the other end of the line.
"a great many persons put on too
much postage. They slap two two.cent
stamps on a letter that would have
gone for 2 cents. 1t is amazing how
little information usually well in.

classes of mail matter. The pay for

A man who knew John A. Logan in
southern Illinois before the civil war

Of his youth that exemplifes his power

He was driving along narrow com.

team approaching from the opposite Vi.
rection. For Mr.. Leishman to turn out
would have meant the sinking of his
carriage to the huus in the mud of a
4..ch, but the other team could have
turned out without inconvenience.
The driver of the other rig, however,
showed no desire to turn out. He was
fat man, and he and Mr.. Leishman
approached each other till the noses of
their horses touched. Each, it was plain,
was determined not to turn out. They
stopped, face to face, and for while
glared at each other in silence.
Finally the fat man lighted a cigar,
crossed his legs, and began to puff COM
fortably away. Mr.. Lcishman took out
a pipe and smoked in turn.
Then the fat man took newspaper
from under the scat and began to read.
Eyidntly, Mr.. Leishman reasoned, this
was to be a contest of patient waiting
land at patient waiting he was not

be decided by coup of some sort. To
accomplish a coup he made up his mind
to break the silence, and between pulrs
he said;

This remark caused the fat man to
laugh. lie apologized to the other for

CHARACTER OF A MURDERER.
Lecture on "Macbeth" Delivered by
DIR. Richard G. MOultOn, Of Chicago.

DR.. Richard G.. Moulton, of the University
of Chicago, whose writings on the works
of Shakespeare are regarded by scholars
everywhere as standard, lectured on Mac
beth" last night at the Girls Classical
School.
DR.. Moulton looked deeply into the char
acter of Macbeth, Analysing each step in
the mans degeneration, which he brought
about by his unholy ambition to be King of
Scotland. In the first place, Mr.. Moulton
showed by contrasting Macbeth's character
with Banquo's, that before Macbeth comes
into the play the process of degeneration in
his character had begun. This is not the
prevalent idea, Dr. Moulton said, as it
seems to be the general opinion that Mac
beths first step downward was taken after
he saw the witches. By contrasting the
effect the witches had on Macbeth with
the effect they had on Banquo the lecturer
showed that corruption in Macbeth's heart
had already set in. and that the idea of
getting rid of Duncan had presented itself
TO Macbeth before he saw the witches.
The events Immediately following Mac
beth's meeting with the witches seemed TO
take the idea of the murder of Duncan out
of Macbeth's heart, DR.. Moulton said, as it
seemed to him for a brief time after he
saw the witches that he could be King
without killing Duncan. The idea of muir
dering Duncan, the necessity of il, returned
to Macbeth when Duncan proclaimed his
son heir to the throne The idea of MUIR
dering Duncan was in Macbeth's heart be-
diately following his meeting with the
witches made 1t seem to him that he could
be King without numbering Duncan. and
the necessity of numbering the King re-
turned TO him when the King proclaimed
his son. Thus DR.. Moulton showed that
the prevalent opinion that the witches first
inspired Macbeth to the idea of numbering
Duncan is incorrect, and that the man was
corrupt before he saw the witches.
The murder of Duncan, DR.. Moulton said
is the most artistically worked-up scene
in Shakespeare. From inability TO bear the
suspense when he was alone in the room
where the dead King lay. DR.. Moulton at
tributed Macbeths murder of the drugged
servants who lay in room near the King
At this period in his degeneration Macbeth's
nervous system was in such a state that
he could not stand inaction and suspense
Then, after that crime. the extent of Mac
beth's degeneration had become great
the lecturer said, that murder became &c
him as opium TO the victim of the drug
| DIR. Moulton then sketched over rapidly the
events which brought about Macbeth's
complete degeneracy.
The next lecture in the series by DR.
/ Moulton at the Girls Classical School will
be given the evening OF Nov. II on Henry
| VIII
