INDIANS STARVED ON A ROCK.

Illinois Farmer Tells of . Legend
Relating to His Home County.
"You never heard Of Deer Park In

Robert S. Brown, farmer, was tell

hotel the other day. He has lived IN
the county Of La Sale, in Illinois, says
the Kansas City Star.
Deer Park, although it's only vii

Starved Rock to be Of considerable I'M

Starved Rock you know, Is the I'M

STAMP MAPS.

How Ono May study Geography from
Postage Stamps.
According to a story now going the
York town found among his mail
package bearing an odd little sticker
with which he was not familiar.
That's no, stamp" said he, tossing
the package to his clerk, that's map.
Stick a 1O-cent due stamp on that, Jim,
and collect for it when it is called
for"
As matter of fact 1t was a map,
but nevertheless a stamp, and one Is
sued by Uncle Sam, too, not later than
-four years ago. 1t was the 10-cent de-
nomination of the Louisiana purchase
issue gotten out in honor of the big
exposition held at ST. Louis In 1904,
and instead of presenting the portrait
Of some Of the nations celebrities 1t
showed map Of the country with the
territory included in the Louisiana pur-
chase sharply defined by heavy lines.
The list of map stamp issues Is not
insignificant. Nearly everyone has seen
the Canadian stamp of 1898 that bore
on it's face a chart Of the entire world,
| oceans and all. Besides being rather
pretty, it possessed several interesting
characteristics that commended it to
consideration. 1t was issued in com
memoration of the granting of reduced
postal rates to the colonies Of Britain

stamps was issued by the Colombian
republic in 1887, Of which Panama ther

on the narrow isthmus that connect
the two American continents and tn

not destined to reap the benefits in
volved in the disposal Of the isthmus
for canal purposes, though her shipping
will, of course, be largely benehted
through the use of the waterway When
completed.
Another contribution to the Panama
map stamps followed in the form OF
one gotten out by the new republic on
its own account. This in turn was fol-
lowed by the well-known Canal zone
stamps, which are merely the Panama
map stamps, overprinted with the
words, "Canal Zone" and issued Tor
use In the strip Of territory paralleling
the canal route and coded to the united
States by Panama. Nicaragua mas
also had map stamp, and this was
probably issued with the same intent
TO advertise the suggested Nicaraguan
route for an isthmian canal that ami
mated Colombia to stamp advertise
Panama. Venezuela issued map stamp
| in 1896 and it is said that this was
| for the purpose of impressing upon the
world In general, and upon Great Brit
ain in particular, the Venezuelan
claims to the boundary between the re-
public and British Guiana.
J Upon the occasion Of the meeting of
the third Pan-American congress IN
1904 Brazil issued a stamp showing al
legorical figures representing the
Americas gathered about a large chart
of the Western hemisphere. A mar
of the island that it shares with Hayt1
was shown on a stamp issued by the
Dominican republic in 1900. New South
Wales celebrated it's one hundredth an
niversary in 1888 by issuing a stamI

Making of Them n business by Itself
Millions Turned Out Annually.
There is one man In the business
who in 1909 will have been making cap
visors for half a century, and he isn't
such an old man, either. He started at
the trade as boy in 1859, working for
concern of which now he is the head,
which was then established In build
ing at Broadway and Rector street,
where the Empire building now stands,
says the New York Sun. He recalls
the fact that when the war broke out
they worked night and day turning out
visors for soldiers caps.
The manufacture of cap vlsors is 4
business by itself. Only about fifteen
concerns are engaged in it, of which
number all are in the city save two or
ton. New York supplies visors for cap
manufacturers all over the country, pro-
ducing in the aggregate millions Of
them annually.
For the very cheapest cloth caps VI
sors are made Of cardboard paper or Of
imitation leather covered with the cloth
of which the cap body Is made. For
| other grades of cloth caps visors are
| made of various sorts of light leather.
and for some cloth caps of fine quality
| there are now used, because 1t Is lighter
| than leather, visors made from heavy,

vas.

A very simple little thing cap visor
might seem, but great numbers of them
are used and in factory where they
make them you would find around rolls
and sides of leather or other materials,
and hundreds of dies and molds for the
cutting and the shaping of the visors,
and men busily at work, following visor
making just as they might any other
trade.
