Grant was still at home. He had
not been WE'LL and Evelyn kept him
out of school on the plea that he would !.
help to amuse his father. Porter was 4
much weakened by his illness, and
tho he pleaded daily to be allowed to
go to the bank, he submitted to Eve
lyn's refusal with a tameness that
was new in him. Fenton came sew
eral times for short interviews;
Thompson called as an old friend as
we'll as a business associate, but he
was prone to discuss his own health
to the exclusion of bank af- .
fairs. Wheaton was often at
the house, and Porter preferred his
account of bank matters to Thomp-
sons. Wheaton carried the figures
in his head. and answered questions
offhand, while Thompson was help
less without the statements which he
was always having the clerks make
for him. Porter fretted and fumed .
over Traction matters, tho Fenton did
his best to reassure him.
He did not understand why Saxton
should have been made receiver; if
Fenton was able to dictate the ap-
pointment, why did he ignore
Wheaton, who could have been spared
from. the bank easily enough when
Thompson returned. Fenton did not
tell him the true reason-he was not
sure of it himself-but he urged the
fact that Saxton represented certain
shares which were entitled to consid-
Grafton and he made much of the
danger of Thompson's breaking down
at any moment and having to leave.
Porter dreaded litigation, and wanted
to know how soon the receivership
could be terminated and the company
recognized. The only comfort ne de-
rived from the situation was the VIC
tory which had been gained over
Margrave, who had repeatedly sent
messages to the house asking for an
interview with Porter at the earliest
moment possible. The bankers hui
NOR had not been injured by the
fever. and nex told Evelyn and the
doctor that he'd almost be willing to
stay in bed awhile longer merely to
annoy Tim Margrave.

FACTS FOR pHT1ArE11srs.

In 1869 there was a 15-cent stamp is
sued which bore a picture OF the land
ing of Columbus.
A specialist who collected the stamps
OF France and her colonies recently solo
his collection for $11 200.
1t takes stamp collector to tell where
are Ancash, Antofagasta, Apurimac
Chiapa, Diego Suarez, Bamra, Yea, Wad'
whan, Goliad. Jhino, Ujong. Faridkot
Nabba and Obock.
1t requires more than forty large al
buns to house the collection of United
States stamps owned by the earl OF Craw-
ford. This collection of United States
stamps is thought to be the. most COM
plete in existence.
The credit of originating adhesive
stamps is generally given to James Chal-
mers, of Dundee. Scotland. He first adj
vocated them in 1897, and in accordance
with legislative enactment of Deem
Der Fl, 1889, they were issued for public
use in England, May 6, 1910.
A letter mailed at Columbus, Wis, on
October %, 1908, and addressed to Mani
towoc girl, has only recently been deliv-
cred to her. The letter bore the postmark
OF johannesburg, Africa. 1t is presumed
that the parcel was included, by mistake,
IN foreign mail pouch. 1t Travelled a

the state from which it was mailed.
No less than fifteen million postal
cards are used annually in the transact

OF their invention belongs to Prof. Eman-

Freie Presse In Vienna, in which he sug-
gested the use Of postal card to cost
two kreutzers. The result was that on
October 1, 1869. the first postal card ever
issued was put on sale in Vienna. Some
years later German adopted the idea,
and gradually other countries made use
OF them. The United States was one of
the last nations to adopt them, but now

One of the most timely and interesting

The doctor said in substance thatevery
spring the blood is loaded with the
effete Accommodations of winter, derang-
ing the digestion, producing sluggish
ness of the liver, overtaxing the kid

bowels and the proper circulation of the

This condition of things produces

would do me any good. I used them and
