Looking Forward.

This mollycoddle-ish revision OF the
football rules" remarked an old-time
player the other day, marks the be-
ginning of the downfall OF the game.
After awhile 1t will become as tame as
prize fighting, and then the states will
begin to pass laws against It, History
repeates itself. There were never any
laws against pugilism until the tight
ers began to wear soft gloves"
Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?---

ORIGIN OF PORTAGE STAMPS,
Secret Sign on an Envelope the Cause
Of Present system.

Quite recently there has been more
or less discussion as to me origin Of
the postage stamp.
Perhaps the most authentic story is
that which comes from the post office
department at Washington.
It appears that about 65 years ago
Rowland Hill was travelling through
one Of the northern districts of Eng
land and for time was sojourning at
an inn where the postman came with
a letter for young miss, who turned
1t over and oyer in her hand and after
examining the envelope infinitely in

saying that it was from her brother.
but that she had no money.
Mr.. Hill was an onlooker and was
touched with pity. He paid the
postage and his action seemed to en-
barrass the girl. When the postman
had gone she told Mr.. Hill that some
signs marked on the envelope con
veyed to her all she wanted to know
and that as fact there was no writ
Ing inclosod. In extenuation she said
that she and her brother had cerl
trived code system of communicat
ing, as neither of them were able te
pay post charges.
Mr.. Hill thought of the results Of {
system which made such frauds pos
sible. Before another day he hat

Rev. Ferguson Very Low.

Jasper friends of Rev. w. T. Fer
guson will hear with regret that he is
lying in critical condition at Kan
sas City hospital as result OF 40 oper-
alton performed few days ago. That
was the burden of despatch from Car
torville yesterday morning, which held
forth little hope for the minister's re-
covery. Rev. Ferguson went to the
hospital for treatment two weeks ago,
intending, after treatment there, to go
to Washington state 10 the hope OF re-
gaining his health. According to the
despatch the operation left him at the
point of death. 1t is thought here
that this may be another Rev. Ferguson
who is known at Cartetville but not
here. A bank draft was mailed from
here to Rev. W. 7, Ferguson at a point
