 Mrs. Hammell gasped and closed her
 sdeker with a snap.
 My Dear Penelope, 1 am amazed! If You behave this way over the first hand some man you see in uniform, how will you feel by the time we have attended few receptions and met the real nobility, rising young diplomats and all that sort of thing
 Thoroughly disgusted. 1 presume" said Penelope coldly. And l hope We shall not go to any receptions where tiny men with waxed mustachios and mincing steps will look through my backbone to da ldy's newly ac- quired bank account. It is because that man is so big, so strong. and looks as if he could move heaven and earth to achieve for the woman he loved that was studying him. It is so seldom tnat meet a man whom l could look up to- ended Penelope with sigh for her five feet eleven inches of grace ful slenderness.

den. while Switzerland celebrated it's utilization with the National Postal Union by printing new stamps. The establishment of penny postage in the Transvaal prompted the authorities to get out a new stamp. Uruguay prin- ted a special set when it entered into a treaty of peace with Argentina in 1897. Venezuela issued a set of map stamps in 1896, setting forth by a broad boundary line its claim to ter ritory bordering on neighborIng Eng fish possessions.

 Her aunt. Mrs. Hammell. swung around sharply.
 Who? Oh that guard? It is his helmet, my dear child. and his high hecled boots Wouldn't you think he'd be ashamed to pose like that at the head of the grand staircase? Dld you eyer see so much gilt braid and shiny leather on one human being?
 Mrs Hammell's voice had executed gradual crescendo. and Penelope reached forth protesting hand
 Don't speak so loud, Auntie, dear. He might understand
 But the great. square -shouldered figure in glittering uniform stood as impassive as the knight in the old Gobelin tapestry before which Mrs. Hammell stood enraptured. though she continued to criticise the kings guard,
 That's just the difference between our soldiery and what we see abroad. Every one of our lads holds possibili- ties of doing big things. Foreign soldiers are mere puppets"
 Penelope replied with conviction.

Government followed the example there have been many such issues dur ing the past twenty years.
 The first country to take the cue from the United States was New South Wales, which in 1888 issued a set of stamps to commemorate the tooth an- niversary of the colony. Hong Kong in 1891 celebrated it's semi-centennial as a colony by over-printing or sur charging. one stamp of the issue then current.
 But the era of special stamps was practically ushered in with the anni- versary of the discovery of America and since 1892 the issue of commem- orative stamps has been a popular fad with the postal authorities of the va- rious world powers.
 This land was not alone in issuing Columbian stamps. for In 1892 and 1893 Argentina, Porto Rico. Salvador and Venezuela used postal carriers in celebration of the American discovery, while Trinidad brought up the rear with an issue in 1898. a little late but not less to the point. It has been widely commented on that. although Spains money and men played such a conspicuous part in the opening up to the world of the western hemisphere that country did not join the process sion of Columbian stamp makers and only one of her colonies took note

postally-of the advent of the Tooth anniversary of Columbus's triumph. The colony in question was Porto Rico and her issue of 1893 was of one stamp depicting the landing of the discoverer.
 Portugal caught the commemorative stamp fever in 1894 and within four years got out no less than three sets, all of which are very interesting. The first was the Prince Henry set. Then came the St. Anthony of Padua set, showing the saint in various scenes from his life on the face and bearing on the back of each a prayer of thanks giving, the latter printed in Latin. Af- ter this Portugal issued the Vasca de Cana set in commemoration of the discovery of India. All three of these series of stamps were duplicated for the several Portugese colonies. The discovery of India was also recog- nized upon Its anniversary by the sur charging of the stamps of the Mozam- bique Company.
 Belgium issued stamp sets for the Antwerp Exposition in 1894 and for that at Brussels in 1896. Greece is- sued special stamps In celebration of the Olympian games in 1S96 and again

Women Who Wear Well.

Q It is astonishing how great change . few years of married life oftsn make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, tho charm, the brilliancs vanish like the bloom from sAower which is rudely handled. The matron is only . dim shadow, faint echo of the charming maiden. Few young women appreciate the shock of the systsm through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic. drains and weak nesses which too often como with mar riage and motherhood, not understand ing that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of it's freshness and the form of Its fairness.
 As surely as the general health suffers when there is derangement of the health of the delicate womanly organs, % surely when these organs are established in health the face and form at once w:::ness to ,the fact in renewed comeliness. More than Q million women have found health and happiness in the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Itmakes weak women strong and sick women well. Ingredients on label-contains no alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs. It is made wholly of those native, American, medicinal roots most highly recommended by leading med. ical authorities of all the several schools of practice for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments.
 For nursing mothers, or for those broken-down in health by too frequent bearing of children, also for the expect ant mothers, to prepare the system for the coming of baby and make It's ad- vent easy and almost painless, there is mo medicine quite 50 good as uFavorite Prescription" It can do no harm in any condition Of the system. It is most potent invigorating tonic and strengthening nervine, nicely adapted to woman's delicate system by phy- sician of large experience in the treat ment of woman's peculiar ailments.
 Bad Symptoms. The woman who has periodical headaches, backache, sees imaginary dark spots or specks floating or dancing before her eyes, has gnawing distress or heavy full feeling in stomach, faint spells, dragging-down feeling in lower abdominal or pelvic region, easily startled or excited, irregular or painful periods, with or without pelvic catarrh, is suffering from weaknesses and de rangements that should have early at tention. Not all of above symptoms are likely to be present in any case at one time.
 Neglected or badly treated and such cases often run into maladies which de- mand the surgeons knife if they do not result fatally.
 No medicine extant hes such . long and numerous record of cures m such cases as pr. Fierce . Fav0Tite PrescTip. ton. No medicine has such stF6nR professtomal indorsement of each of it's several ingredients-worth more than any number of ordinary non-profes- sional testimonials. The very best in- gredients known to medical science for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments enter into it's composition. No alcohol.

an adhesive stamp. It's Centennial issue was three, cent envelope in red and green ink on white paper. Four other sets have been produced by this goevrnment up to this time. They were the Columbian, Omaha, Buffalo and St. Louis exposition stamps. Of these the Columbian set was the most extensive. the size of each succeeding special series being reduced until the St. Louis issue consisted of but five stamps.
 The Jamestown stamps that will be put on sale tomorrow are but three in number and it was first thought the government would not agree to issue more than one denomination for this occasion. Later 1t was agreed to accompany the two cent stamp with one of the one cent denomination, and almost at the last moment 1t was de- cided to also issue five cent stamp.
 The three stamps will be of the longitudinal type like the other com memorative issues of Uncle Sam and will be highly ornamental They will be about one-sixteenth of an inch smaller than the Pan-American stamps.
 The one cent stamp will be green

 Columbia. Mo. April s--The condi- ton of the winter wheat crop is s4 per cent, the highest reported since 1901. In the Northwestern section the con dition Of the wheat crop is 90, being somewhat below the average, owing to dry fall. late sowing. and poor examination.
 Cleveland, O.. April s--The winter wheat crop in Ohio to some extent has been damaged by heavy rains, follow ed by severe winter weather, though the showing, in the main. will be sat fsfactory. The State Board of Agricult- ure issued a bulletin a few days ago showing. the condition of the winter wheat to be ST per cent. and there Is no reason to change those figures.
 Chicago, April 9--Indiana and Hi nois points report wheat fields turn ing yellow from some cause. Missouri and Kansas added new points to the area of bug occupation, and Oklahoma and Texas continue to tell of the rava- ges of the pest. The reports of the presence of the green bug throughout the wheat growing belt is coupled with the claims that up to the present it has not done material damage. The weather map made the situation gloomy by showing scanty rainfall in the West.
 Indianapolis. Ind, April e-The wheat crop in this State Is expected to fall below the average. The outlook, com pared with this time last year. is dis couraging. Tn some localities the crop was not protected by snow during the freezing weather. and when the ground thawed the roots were left exposed During the warm weather two weeks ago, these roots were exposed to the sun and much of the growth not killed b ythe frost was cooked to death. On the hill lands, where the ground was badly washed. and fin the Ohio and Wa bash bottoms, where everything was overflowed, there will be no yield at all In other bottom lands the yield will be fair. but the outlook now is that there will be falling off from last year of many million bushels

in 1906. When the Central American Exposition was held In 1897 Guaee- mala issued a series of stamps espe- cially for the occasion.
 Anniversary stamps have been nu- merous. Brazil posta1ly remembered its 400th anniversary in 1900. Bull garia similarly honored the anniver- sary of the battle of Shipka Pass. The Dominican Republic and St. Lucia both in the same year issued 40Oth anni- versary- stamps Mauritius and Mon tenegro each had 200th anniversary stamp and Peru directed attention to the national anniversary with spe- cially designed stamp issued in 1897
 There have been a number of stamp issue, too. in commemoration of events and achievements in the modern his tory of governments. In 1902 Ahe Argentine Republic signalized the opening of the port of Rosario by printing an appropriate stamp.

 Doctors All Agree. The most emi- nent writers on Mafesia Medica, whose works are consulted as authorities by physicians of all the different schools of practice, extol, in the most positive terms, the curative virtues of each and every ingredient entering into Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. In fact it is the only medicine, put up for sale through druggists for the cure of all diseases of the mucous surfaces, as nasal catarrh, throat, laryngeal, and bronchial affections attended by finger ing, or hang on coughs that has any such professional endorsement-worth more than any amount of lay or non- professional testimonials.
 Do not expect too much from the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. It will not work miracles. It will not cure consumption in its ad- vanced stages. No medicine will. Nor is the Discovery" so good for sudden attack of acute cough. but for the lingering, obstinate, hang-on-coughs, eccompahYing catarrhal, throat, T17yh. gSal and bronchial aHections, It HA Most emc1cious remedy In cases ac- oomTlnied with wasting of 6esh, night. sweats, weak stomach and poor digestion with faulty assimilation, and which, # neglected or badly treated are apt to lead to consumption, the ~Discovery" has proven wonderfully successful in effecting cures.
 The formula is printed on every wrapperofc Golden Medical Discovery" attested as to correctness under oath, and you can't afford to accept any substitute of unknos0n eompositsoa for this non-secret remedy no matter what selfish interests may prompt the dealer to urge such upon you. In fact 1t is an insult to your intelligence for him to do SO. You know what you want and it is his place to supply that want.

 The gathering of stamps of com memorative sets Is one of the most DO ular phases of the science of stamp collecting Their historical value to- gether with the elaborateness and uniqueness of design common to many of them make them especially attrac tive. The fact that a handsome col lection may be gathered of these alone. and that. all having been issued In comparatively recent years they have not reached the dignity of ex pensive rarities has caused the popu larity of the commemorative stamp to flourish as green bay tree.
