A fact not generally known is that
hundreds OF concerns throughout the
country which now are doing business
through the regular trade channels are
awaiting only a parcels post law to
unloose literature already prepared
in many instances. which would pro
ject them into the mail order field. and
this does not take into account the
hundreds and perhaps thousands Of
entirely new mail order concerns
which inevitably would spring into ex-
istence under such friendly auspices.
The two Chicago institutions re-
ferred to, already occupying immense
buildings, found themselves cramped
for room. One Of them expended not
less than 81 900 900, and probably more,
for new home. The other lately has
secured a new location and also will
expend at least s1.Oo0.0O0 for an i'm

AN INDICATION OF GENERAL PROSPERITY.

Secretary Shaw has succeeded in securing the
return to the treasury Of 500 $1,000 bills. The
place Of these in the circulation has been taken,
in large part, by new ten-dollar bills. The reason
Is that appeals have been coming TO the treasury
constantly TO send out more tens, because there
was a tremendous demand for them.
This demand Is simply a sign Of the great
prosperity OF the country. according to financial
men. Several years ago there was a constant cry
for one and two-doilar bills That cry has passed
and people are wailing for tens.

days the mutitudes are looking upon the ten
dollar note as lightly as they looked upon q note

Pennsburg. Pa.-Twelve dollars was
the price realized for a pair OF hens
at the public sale OF William Stengal's
property at Baily. Mr.. Stengal said
that he had owned the fowls for s5
gears. and that during all that time
they had attended strictly to business.
Mr.. Stengels farm is located near
a camp-meeting ground OF coiored
folks. and he did not lose sight OF the
fact. for whenever gatherings were
on he would double-lock and bar his
chicken-coop.
The visit OF the local preacher to
the Stengel farm always resulted in
a hurry call for secretion of the fav-
orite hens. Young chickens were has
tily slaughtered and conspicuously dis
