While stamp collectors may be
pleased at the idea of the government
issuing stamps to commemorate certain
events. such az the Pan-American Ex-
position and the st. Louis Exposition,
there are those who feel that it is an
unwise proceeding. Business men, as
n whole. prefer the common. every day
more convenient to handle than are the
special stamps. These special stamps,
ne every one knows are nearly twice
tie size of the ordinary stamp and are
awkward things. Another class who
dislike the special issues are the stamp
clerks i'm the postoffices. These issues
bring them their troubles. Collectors
come around and buy them. securing
the different denominations in different
quantities and they usually take an
hour when business is the busiest at
tn estamp window to do their trading.
In another way they make trouble for
the clerks in that they never know
which kind to pass out to one who calls
for stamps. If they put out the ordi-
nary kind it is ten to one they Will he
showed back with the exclamation. II
wanted the st. Louis stamp" And. on
the other hand, If they put out the
specials it is certainty that they will
be wrong again. So there they are, and
it's no wonder they dislike the special
stamps.

1t is an old story about the barefoot
boy with the bean pole and Il piece OF
twinc catching the fish while the city
angler with his expensive outfit draws
n blank, yet It's one which is frequent
~ proven. a case of this kind came to
the notice of an Augusta man who was
1T MaranacooE. this week. AS he tells
it the man in the case was from Boston
and had been out on the lake all day
with his guide, trolling about in hope
of getting q strike. He had one of
I.eonard's best split bambOOs. an oil
silk line that was superb, with leaders,
reel and landing net to match. while
the live bait was of the best. Try as
he might he couldn't induce Il single
fish to take his lure. In his move
mcnts about the lake he gradually
swung in towards one Of the landings
and there lone small boy. whose feet
We're shy of shoes and stockings stood
fishing in the lake. His outfit consist
ed of small pail of worms, cine
pole and some ordinary linen line, yet
on the wharf there lay three fine trout
and Il bass to prove that luck WAS with
him. When the Augusta man left the
Boston angler was cndeavoring 20 buy
the hoy's fish, but had not been able to
make terms.
