TO STAMP COLLECTORS.
Advice Regarding the Securing Of
Early Issues of the United
States.


There is a growing difficulty in
securing fine copies of the early is.
sues of United States stamps.
The makers of these issues, says
st. Nicholas, were not required by
the government to be careful in re.
lation to the perforating of them.
The paper was of brittle quality,
very easily broken or injured by
careless handling. The postmas.
ters who cancelled these stamps
cared for nothing except to thor.
oughly obliterate them, so that
they used unnecessary quantities
of ink for this purpose. All these
things combined make it difficult
to find used copies of the early is
sues of our country in fine cOndi.
ton. There were few collectors,
and therefore not many of these
stamps were saved in unused con.
ditiOn. The consequence of this
state Of things is and will be an in.
creasing difficulty in securing
these stamps in such condition as
is acceptable to collectors who are
at all particular as to the looks of
their albums. There are vast
numbers of United States stamps
in poor and ordinary condition.
These many collectors take to fill
the spaces iT their albums until
they can secure stamps of finer
quality. This seems, on the whole,
to be a mistake, for the possession
of specimen, even though it be a
poor one, causes a collector to
neglect to secure another of the
same stamp.
The desire to fill spaces that are
vacant is greater than to improve
those that are not properly filled.
The best thing for the young col
lectOr, if he wishes to have a really
pleasing album, is to put nothing
into its spaces but unused, lightly
Cancelled, clean copies of the
stamps which he selects. The fill
ing of the album properly will be
appreciated within a few years by
those who care more for United
States stamps than for the issues
of foreign countries, since the
growing demand will make it even
more difficult than it now is to oh.
tain fine specimens.

PIN-MoNEY AT COLLEGE.
Society of Girls Make Flags and Have
Sale in the Fall When the
Students Return.

During the summer the mem.
bers of one society of girls meet
once a week and make college
flags, ours being a college town,
says a writer in WOman's Home
Companion. In the fall, when
the students return, these flags
are placed on sale, usually at the
dormitories, and in week or two
every flag is gone, and often or.
ders for more are received. The
girls then fill these orders, and
set to work TO have a supply ready
for the baseball season, which be
gins in April. Often summer Wis.
itors buy these flags as souvenirs
Of the place, and thus all the year
round they have steady sale.
Every March the senior and Jun.
Tor classes each order a large flag
for a special occasion, and each re.
turning school year brings new
students, who are glad to aid the
girls in this. The flags are made
of felt or silk, according to ordSs,
and are of any desired SA4e, or

FAKES.
Sell Lead Pencils, Garry
Clutches and Play
Cripple.

The following account is from
the Louisiana Press journal. It
is another hint of often what an
imposter is the tramp. More in
terest will attach to this article
when our Audrain readers learn
that the DR.. McMurtry mentioned
formely resided at Rush
Hill:
Considerable excitement was
created Saturday night between 9
and 10 o'clock by a difficulty be-
tween Policemen P. X. Spencer and
three tramps, two of them Grip
piles.
Marshal Kingston early in the
morning arrested a tramp and
locked him up.
He instructed Mr.. Spencer to
send the fellow out of town on u
south bound freight train that
night. About the time train on
the Burlington was due MIR. Spen-
Ger took the bum to the railroad at
the foot of Georgia street. Sitting
behind some cars were three buns,
and when Mr.. Spencer attempted to
get them out of town one of them
began cursing and abusing him.
The two crippled tramps got on
top of a car and the officer arrested
the one who was cursing but here
fused to go with Mr.. Spencer and
held to the handles on the side Of
the car. The two cripples began
striking at the officer from the top
of the car with their crutches.
Realizing that he could do moth
ing from the position in which he
was, Mr.. Spencer climbed up the
side of another car and jumped
on the car where the buns we're.
They both started towards him
with their chrutches uplifted and
he fred shot over their heads to
scare them back, but they kept
coming and finally showed him off
the car.
Just as he was falling Mr.. Spen-
Ger fred another shot, which struck
one of the buns. The fellows S
right leg is off above the knee. The
ball passed through the left leg
striking the stub leg and passing
thru that also. The bones in uei.
ther leg were struck.
Mr.. Spencer was very seriously
hurt by the fall he received and
was taken to his home in buggy
His back is injured and srom his
waist down he is completely par
alyzed.
Officer Dempsey was soon on the
scene of the trouble and arrested
the three tramps. They were lock-
ed in the calaboose, where the
wounded man was attended to by
Drs. Turner and McMurtry.
The two crippled tramps wer e
turned over to the state and will be
given a preliminary hearing before
Judge Armstrong as soon as the
wounded man can be taken into
court.
The other tramp was handled by
the city.
1t was found that the alleged
cripples were a complete fake and
carried a crptch for effect. They
had been in town several days ped
ding lead pencils.
