Mr.. MacfarIand Goes
Into Stamp Business
Receives Rare Collection From School Boy
in Japan Who Wishes to Raise Money to
Help Widows of Dead Soldiers.

his schoolmates are very anxious to
raise money for the purpose Of ~roviding
for the families Cf eoldiers killed in
the war. They find Il very Git
task, however, as ,..ey ourselves have
no money, and most OF their own people
are poor Nevertheless, each one Of
them is striving to do what he can
among his friends and acquaintance.
The school children in Japan are great
collectors OF postage stamps. and II &C
CURED to Tajima and some Of his
schoolmates who are the owners Of such
stamps that probably a better price
could be obtained for the stamps abroad
than in Japan, par --cularly for such rare
Issues as that commemorative OF the
celebration of the anniversary of the
silver wedding of their matesties, the
Emperor and Empress.
Tajima's Little Plan.
They have a number of these stamps
and Tajima has been commissioned to
forward them to the United States. He
knows of no way OF doing this because
ne has no acquaintance in this country
and therefore has ventureu TO address
the authorities OF the Capital City Of
the United States, and to ask them to
do him the favor to dispose of the
stamps and TO remit the proceeds to him.
Tailma evidently feels that he is ap-
pealng TO friends for he says that ever :
schoolboy in Japan has the warmest az
| lection for the people Of this country,
| because they know that many Of them
are the loyal friends OF Japan.
on that account he feels emboldened
| to make this appeal, and for that reason
| he ventures to hope that he Will not be
| regarded as a beggar, but that his re-
quest viii be granted. For anything that
may be done TO that end he expresses
! warm appreciation and cordial thanks
