Vienna, Jan. 26.-The story of a
postage stamp. and the revenge of a
fallen queen is the one topic of con-
versation throughout Servia, Bulgaria
and Roumania.
To commemorate King Peters cor
onation, the Servian government de-
cided to issue a series of specially de-
signed postage stamps of considerable
artistic value and of large size. When
the rough design of the stamps, which
were to bear side by side the profile
of King Peter and his ancestor, Kara
George, was approved, the final draw
ing and engraving were entrusted 10
a French artist, NJ. Mouchon.
The result was admired by all. But
before the stamps had been in circu-
lation many weeks the government
suddenly called in all that remained
unsold, and made desperate efforts
to collect even single specimens in
the hands of private individuals. For
when the stamp was held upside down
there appeared clearly to everyone,
the death mask of the murdered
king, Alexander Obrenovitch. The
ghastly face of the dead sovereign
was made to appear by the engraver
manipulating cleverly the eyebrows
eyes and nose Of the two Karageorge-
witch profiles.
King Alexander's distorted and mu-
tilated face is formed by portion of
King Peters head with that of his
ancestor. Kara George. The nostrils
of the two heads together form the
eyes, the moustaches make the eye
brows, and the eyebrows and eye of
Kara George form King Alexander's
nose and mouth.
1t Is asserted that the engraver was

fake" the design and introduce the
features of her murdered son.
The "death-mask stamps" as they
are now called, have undoubtedly
made a profound impression in the
Servian army and among the unedu-
Gated classes. The governments at
tempt to recall all the stamps proved
fruitless, as thousands have been
used on letters, and vast number
are held by private individuals in
Servia. The government has, how
ever, instructed its agents in Vienna.
London. Paris and Berlin, to visit
stamp dealers and spectators and
buy up as many of the ill-omened
postage labels as possible, regardless
of cost.

An Artute blind Mnn.

A blind man possessed $500, and.
fearing that somebody might steal it.
he buried his treasure in corner Of
his garden. A neighbor saw him at his
work and in the night stole his money.
The blind man ON discovering his loss
and suspecting his neighbor went to
him and said: MY lnfirmity renders
me difident, and few are the persons
whom l can trust. You are one or
those few, and have come to tell you
a secret and to ask your advice. l am

would do well to put the other half In

replied his neighbor Were In your
place l would do the same. There Is no
knowing what may happen II you keep
your money in your house" Having
given his advice. the thief, hoping to
get the rest of the blind mans money,
fastened to replace the half he had
stolen, and thus the astute blind man
recovered his property.

LUMBER FOR CHINA.
Over 10000 Feet Leaves Portland
Mills This Week.

Four ships will sail this week for
foreign ports-the Anna, Fairport, s.
Celeste and Martha Roux, says the
oregon Daily Journal. The Anna is
loading lumber for China under char
ter to the Pacific Export Lumber
company. 1t is said she will carry
one of the largest cargoes ever ham
died by sailing vessel from this port,
something like 100000 feet. Ore
gon fir will also be taken out by the
Fairport. She will go to the west
coast of South America with close to
100000 feet of lumber. The S.
Celeste is loaded with barley for the
United Kingdom.
Owing to the scarcity of deep water
sailors, it is feared that these vessels
will be detained in port for a few
days. 1t will require about 35 men
to supply their forecastles. By charg-
ing the captains the regular fee of $55
a head, the sailor boarding house pro-
prietors will receive S1s25 for sup
plying the men. Just that amount
would be saved by the owners II the

Elder VIII Be a Total Loss.

Men returning to Portland yester-
day from the wreck of the Elder
state that her main deck is now under
water, and the continual cracking of
timbers and straining of other parts
tell only too plainly that the craft is
gradually sinking to the depths of
the mighty Columbia. 1t is now the
opinion that the gaping hole in her
port side is just below the mess room.
The water is steadily rising in her
hull, and from what can be learned
about the headquarters of the Harri-
man interests in Portland, 1t has about
decided to abandon the remains of
the old steamer to the underwriters.

gress.

senses than one. So stout was he In
fact by reason Of his idle and luxurious
life that he could not walk from place

day his contemporary, Philip Of
France. delicately remarked at dinner
that William was like fllet Of beef
on casters and ought to be exhibited at
prize monarch show" Naturally Will
liam heard Of this and in a furious
rage ordered his troops to invade at
once. This was DONE and a war COM
menced which ended in the English
king being thrown from his horse and
killed while experimenting the siege

EXTREME PRESENCE OF MIND.
A Minnesota Farmers Peculiar Plan
TO Prevent a Wreck.

Tasper Henks, farmer living near
Mankato, Minn., prevented a train
wreck near that place last week, while
driving to town for doctor. He dis
covered that railroad culvert had
been burned beyond sharp curve
in the railroad track. He saw a
freight train coming far away.
Henks sprang out of his wagon and
with a club killed his dog, that had
followed the team. 1t was fat dog
and, cutting the body up hastily,
Henks creased the track with it for
several rods down the sharp grade
south of the crossing and drove on
his way at a gallop. The heavy train
was stopped by the slipping of the
wheels, and the trainmen discovered
the burned culvert.
