A MOST VALUABLE STAMP.
$1,000 Will Not Buy One Of the Rarest
Specimens Extant

A Broadway. n. Y. stamp collector.
who has clients all over the world.
showed to a reporter for the Sunday
Press a trade circular from London
telling about a recently discovered
stamp for which offers OF 1000 have
been refused. An American collector
living in England Is said to have OF.
fered more than that sum for it as
matter of speculation But the arm
that OWNS the stamp keeps It locked
in its safe. Only a limited number OF
persons are permitted to see 1t.
The coveted stamp is what is called
.tuppeny Mauritius" and Ii one Of
the rarest in the world. Its value Is
due to an ergraver's blunder. His
wits went wool gathering while he
was at work. and the stamp was i'm.
printed with the words 'postoffice" In
stead of POSTPAID" When the blum
der was discovered the entire issue was
hastily withdrawn, and all sold that
could be recovered were destroyed
The recent discovery was found in the
collection OF a Glasgow man who died
about two years ago and whose heirs
were disposed to treat his postage
stamp hobby with contempt
Il have seen these stamps in mu-
seums." said the Broadway collector,
but ! never before heard OF one in a
private collection. This one may come
to America II anybody chooses to pay
enough for It"

Where happy visions thronx.
Where souls are bright and hearts are

And NE is like a song

As farmers harvest but the wheat.
And thrust aside the tares.
And dark or sunny be the day,

Why then I'm on to dreamland,
where happy visions throng.
Where souls are bright and hsarts are

And life Is like n song.
