twelve miles every working day
He Is collector for two or three bust

German counterfeters play no favorites,
but make the stamps of all countries
Previous to 1895 all the American issues
were counterfeited. and finally the United
states Government protested. and the
making Of the regular stamps was discon-
tlnued. The German Government forced
the makers of copies Of rare stamps of
American issue to place the word fac
simlle IN English on each one.
But this was not done in the case of the
postmaster stamps such a. the Baltimore,
the New Haven and the ST. Louis bear
stamps. These were not issued 10y the
nited States. and their manufacture
doesn't come under the law against counter
feiting, and they are worth when good
very large sums in every instance
Every town in Germany and Switzer-
land sells bogus stamps. They are usually
on sale at cigar stores and newsstand
The German counterfeiting is the poorest
of all vet il catches many victims
These stamps are all neatly mounted
and tourist knowing little about stamps
but not enough to protect himself will
eagerly invest a ten dollar bill for one Of
these sheets. He hasn't any suspicion of
the manner in which ne has been taken in
