One reason why stamps In the H.
ture will bear the names Of the cities
whence they are issued is the dimcul-
ty thus put in tie way Of stamp
thieves. At present stamps constf-
tute one of the most readily negotiable
forms of plunder obtainable owing. OF
course, to the universal use Of postage
stamps and the consequent dimculty
of tracing ownership. Even when
nearly 100000 worth of stamps were
stolen from the Chicago post ONCE 1t
was impossible to get clews for detect
ing the criminal The United States
is not the frst country to place the
names of the cities of issue on the
stamps. Mexico has done it for years.
Liberia has the names of five princi-
pal towns on the stamps designed for
their respective use. But no nation
hitherto has entered upon the plan
to the extent proposed at Washington.
Fully 5000 cities will be provided
with distinctive stamps. In the case of

the respective city and state will be

of the stamp. whereas in the case Of

they have been impressed in the regu-

the material for that building at

Material Man.
And let us speak word for Mr..
Printer Man also. He is a part OF
this community; he contributes to its
prosperity: he advertises it. and he Is
entitled to his place in the circle
through which the community's dol
lars are to circulate. When you. Mr..
Merchant. want printing of any kind.
give the job to the home printer.
The dollar that you spend with him
he win again spend with you, and
both will make a profit On it. 1t is
but fair that he have this. his lesiti-
mate portion of the home trade. He
is as much q part of the community
as yourself, and as much entitled to
your support as you are entitled to
the support of the farmer. the me
chanic, the preacher, the doctor.
The battle against the mail-0rder
octupus can never be a successful
one unless all interests are actively
engaged in it. It can never be sue
cessful so long as the merchant wants
it preached but does not want to prac-
tice it himself The merchant who
sends his saving account to the city
bank for safe keeping is not entitled
to the support of the community
whose money he takes from it. The
merchant who will not patrOnize his
brother merchants, who makes his
visits to the city an excuse for buy
ing his own household supplies. sup
plies that are not carried on his own
shelves, of the city merchants. Is not
entitled to the support Of the COM
munity. Such merchant wants to
preach but not practice home trade.
He wants to do with the community's
dollars just what he condemns In
others-send them away from the
community. He would bankrupt the
community for selfish interests.
There are few, II any. such mer-
chants as this in this or other com
munfties, but II there are any here 1t
is not for their benefit that this pa
Der is preaching home trade to its
readers.
We hear much of the strength OF
trusts and combinations. In what
does their strength Iie? To a large
extent in the fact that they control
the trade IN the commodities in which
they are dealing. They make every
dollar they spend an interest earn
ing dollar. Let us form a little trust
of our own. Let all of Us, merchant,
farmer, doctor. mechanic. preacher.
editor, spend our dollars at home.
keep them at home. and we have Or
xanized a trust of our own that will
bring to each of us our share of earn
ings on the capital invested.
This is not hard problem to figure
out for ourselves. The farmer. let
US say, wants q dollars worth Of
sugar. He buys it of the home gro
ceryman. and the groceryman makes
a profit. The grOceryman buys a dol
lars worth Of dry goods. and the dry
goods merchant makes a profit. The
dry goods merchant patroni3es the
dentist, and the dentist makes .
profit, and the dentist buys butter and
produce from the farmer and the
farmer makes a profit. So as the
dollar goes around and around . COM
munity each man into whose keeping
it comes makes a profit On the han
ding of II, and the dollar grows into
two. But what would have happened

widows caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements of maline. crepe and
lace: 1t is a custom handed down 10
US from the Romans. who shaved their
heads when they m0urned the loss Of
a dear one. This idea was all right
for men who did not mind appearing
without single spear Of hair ON their
heads. but of course it was most un-
attractive for women. No one, not
even a Roman matr0n. liked To b
seen bald-headed, so the women OF
the Tiber devised q little cap to hide
their badness. and thus the custom
has come down to US. even though
heads are no longer shaved as q sign
Of mourning.
The reason that bells are tolled for
the dead is that years ago. when toll
ing was first established. the people
thought that the sound Of the bells
frightened away evil spirits Who how
cred near the dead.
Why do men. and Women, too. wear
bows on the left side Of their hats? :?
The reason is simple enough. When
the head covering built upon the order
Of hats Of today was first introduced
1t was 0rnamented with a ribbon which
went around the crown and hung down
in two ends ON the left side, reaching
below the shoulder. These ends wera
a sort Of anchor, or safety line. and
were put there expressly to Be seized
when a sudden gust Of wind threaten,
ed to blow the hat away. The ribbons
were put on the left side because. as .
general thing. the left hand was moro
apt to be free than the right. Eventu-
ally these ribbons were knotted in a
fetching bow with flowing ends. and
then they were cut Oh quite close 10
the hat. so that they form q very
small and stin bow knot.
1t is always the custom to throw old
shoes after bride and this queer
custom came into vogue when parents
were in the habit Of using their sin.
pers to keep their girls obedient and
good. Now the slipper is not really
intended for the bride. bot for the
bridegroom. who Is supposed to use
it for the same purpose the mothe,
and father Of olden times did.
