stricted' postal union between the two
empires
1T is right to tax luxtries. especially
pernlcious Injuries: but 1t Is culpable TO
levy taxation OF q Expressive kind on
the communications bf the people.
What statesman would venture to pro-
pose a tax on the initial operations OF
commerce. say, by requiring CONNER
cIal travellers to take out costly IL
censes or by Imposing heavy stamp du-
ties on seed or sanples?'
His special reasons for an Anglo
American penny postal union are as
follows:
THAT the two peoples both ardently
desire a reduction of transatlantic pos
tai rates to one penny, or two cents.
OF 15OOO.000 British emigrants In the
period from 1916 to 1900 more than TO-
OOO. 600 settled in the United States. Six
~ out OF the eighty million OF American
people have British blood in their veins.
THAT the large number OF small
money orders, aggregating e1,6o0,O 900
fsS. 900 000) last year, sent by poor peo-
pie are doubly taxed for commission
and postage.
WOULD INCREASE TRADE
.That British exports to the United
States last year amounted to e35. 100000
a. N
the United Kingdom l03,0000O0 (S5l5,-
900 .0Oo): great development of this trade
Is certain 10 result from penny post
age
THAT letters from England and Can
ada number 100000 yearly and, each
bearing penny stamp, are landed in
New York and carried through hun
dreds of miles of United States terri
tory, while 2hd. @ cents) must be paid
on each letter TO New York Itself.
THAT transatlantic freightage on a
ton of valuable goods should not eX-
coed e2 (sl0), but the postage on ton
of letters amounts to GT46 $3 300. An
American can send a letter 5000 miles
by land, say from Mexico TO Alaska
for penny z cents). but he must pay
2l5d. (5 cents) for letter half the
weight sent 800 miles across the At
lantic. An Englishman pays gid, %
cents) on letters crossing the Atlantic.
3.lOO miles. and Id. e cents) only for
one crossing the Indian and South Pa
cific oceans. 10000 miles, to New zea-
land.
THAT the British and American post
authorities have officially admitted the
PA pence g cents) foreign postage Is
too high. AT the recent Postal Union
congress In Rome the United States
government voted for universal penny
postage which covered and included
the present proposal for Anglo-Ameri-
can penny postage.
THAT the United States has already
established penny postage to one great
section OF the British empire-Canada-
as she resultant benefits warrant its
extension to the rest OF the empire"

Fishing Dogs.

Stories of fishing dogs always are
interesting. I remember n of a
dog which always accompanied his
master trout fshing-went with him
in lieu of a landing net. The water
usually fshed was a club length
where the limit for takeable trout
was eight inches, and the intelligent
brute. the moment a trout vas firm
ly hooked, would swim out, take it
gently but firmly in his jaws, swim
back to the bank, measure it off with
his tail, and Immediately chuck it
back into the water if it happened
to be under the limit size. 1 have
heard of an angler who had a dog
that used to swim across the river
when the angler got his flies hung
up in a tree at the other side, and
climb up the tree and disentangle
them. Then I had a friend who had
a very clever pointer-who would
point anything-fur, feather, or I'm.
He was a first rate retriever, too.
One day my friend had him out
with him in a boat pike fishing, when
he hooked a most terrific, tantrum-
my old pike, which dashed and gashed
in a most furious fashion. In went
the long-legged pointer to retrieve
the game. Snap went the vicious
pixies wicked jaws as the dog came
up, and the poor brute's forelegs were
clean bitten off close to the body.
In his anguish the dog managed to
swim to the boat, when snap went
the sharp, horrid jaws again, and on
came about seven-eighths of the dogs
hind legs. His master got him BACK
into the boat, rendered first aid, and
carried him to a veterinary surgeon,
who treated him so skillfully hat the
stumps healed beautifully. OF course
he was no good any more as a point
er; but he made a first rate dachs-

Henry Clay's Popularity.

The greatest popular idol in a polit-
ical sense the country has ever known
was Henry Clay. Only one other
American statesman ever possessed
the quality called personal magnetism
to the same extent that he did, and
no other ever had a more enthusiast
tic personal following. He was an
aspirant for President from 1924 to
1S4S, but never reached the goal.
He received thirty-seven electoral
votes in 1924, forty-nine in 1892 and
los in 1874, but never enough to
elect him. Clay was elected Speaker
of the House Of Representatives on
the first day of his term in that body
and was five times reelected. He
was twice elected United States Sen
ator, once unanimously by the Ken
lucky Legislature, and held several
other high Offices. If there ever was
a popular idol in the politics of this
country, it was Henry Clay, but he
could not be elected President.-1n-

Hochrentine, of Gent, claims to have
