DOWN TO POSTAGE STAMPS.
Men in Hard Luck Who Try to Get
Uncle Sam to Cash In.
: From the New York Sun.

, from the New York Sun.
The clerk at the stamp window of the
branch post office pushed back a five
cent stamp offered to him.
Sorry he said. You can't buy a
| two-cent stamp with that. It's against
the rules
The man who had rendered the stamp
looked disappointed, but went away with
out word, and the clerk turned to a
friend who had been lounging near the
window.
You'd be surprised to know" he said.
how many people try to cash in stamp
here. Some want me to buy them back
at their face value. others want stamps
of lower denomination. like that fellow;
but I've never had a man ask me for two
1ve-cent stamps for a ten. or two tWos
and a one for a five. They all want to
realize a few cents in actual money"
That's queer" said the friend. Can
you explain it,

He hustled away in a great hurry
and l forgot all about him. The next

Il did my best to make amends by
buying a breakfast for him. and he told
me the story of that postage stamp in

been reduced to four cents and a two
cent stamp. There's place on the Bow
cry where you can get big bowl of soup
with coffee and bread for five cents. but
they wuoldnt accept the stamp there,
and he'd been trying all the evening to
raise at least one cent on it to make up
the price of a meal

'-Oh, no. said the clerk. Il cash quite

you can't expect me to do it unless

Safety Cheaper Than Wrecks.

The Erie railroad has Instituted a
tWeive-miIe experimental section of an
electrical automatic railroad safety-signal
system that promises much for the safety
of railroad travel. The engine has a
brush arrangement that connects with the
third rail- In the cab are instruments
that will bring the train to stop the
moment it enters block on which there
is another train broken rail or
any other obstruction. The train is
stopped automatically. Then the engineer
takes down his telephone and calls up
the nearest station and asks what is the
matter He can a so talk with the other
engineers on the line. A time-meter. SIM

Watchmen in big buildings, renders it i'm
possible for him to make a false report
as to the time he received the danger
signal and what he did. Another signal

entered. push-button in every station

pushes this button the train comes to a

the engineer and a passenger on a fast

city newspaper, and could. they declare,

That this sort of a system may be
generally adopted and applied to railroad

Soap and Water for the Face.

From the Family Doctor
In cities it is very difficult to keep the
face clean, so many Particles of coal dust
from chimneys float in the air and So
much dirt from the streets. The face
should be cleansed at once from these
impurities, il not crop of blackheads
will soon be seen. Women are afraid
OF applying soap and water to their faces.
Somewhere in the dark ages the tradi-
ton arose and has been persisted in that
water is not good for the face. and that
soap is positively injurious. One cannot
have good complexion unless the face
is kept absolutely clean. To do this the
face has to be attacked with yigor. \
soft cloth, or better yet, bits OF cotton
dipped in alcohol or cologne and water
will remove dirt from the face after il
has been scrubbed and supposed to be
thoroughly c.eansed. With bits of cot
ton, grease. such as cold cream. can be
used. and will also cleanse the face and
remove the smaller blackheads.

BILE. In the earlier days when travel
was entirely by wagon and the poor con
dition of the roads generally in that sec
ton made trips to the larger towns from
the more distant farms labor which
required an entire day, smaller towns
sprang up in numbers to accommodate
the trading of the farms in more imme-
date radius. They provided the shipping
points for grain and cattle, the post office
and express offices. where the farmer call
ed every day or two for his letters and
parcels, and they supported a general
store, where most of the shopping was
done.
But the mission of the village is gone
Mail is now delivered at the gates Of the
farms twice daily in most of these COM
munties. and the great amount of mail
order trading done formed the original as
sault on the prosperity OF the village
stores. Now, especially in Kansas, SO
many farmers own motor cars that the
long trips to the larger towns. where
there are bigger and more attractive
shops. are no longer an obstacle. 1t is
the prosperous farmer, whose trade was
worth while to the village store, that
owns an automobile and thus transfers
his trading to the larger town. The lit
tie merchant in the village has gwen up
the struggle.

RICHMOND. Va, December 4. 1909.
Richard +. Byrd of Winchester. the
patron OF the liquor law on the statute
books OF Virginia. is not prohibitiouist.
He Is a temperance advocate, and his
name became connected with the liquor
legislation in an unusual way. While
he was discharging the duties OF speaker
Of tire house last session there were some
fifteen bills introduced bearing on the
liquor question. The authors of the bills
were prepared to give all sorts of trouble,
and many of the measures had consid-
cradle following. Some OF them were in
tended TO be for statewide prohibition.
Speaker Byrd heard the titles of the bills
read and he wondered at the number and
purpose Of the measures. They were re-
ferred to a committee for consideration
and report, and when they were read it
was seen that many of them aimed at
one and the same thing-the regulation
Of the liquor traffic. Mr.. Byrd realized
that II they were reported to the house
that each member would make an effort
TO have his own measure substituted for
whichever might be sent up for the con-
sideration of the members. That this
meant an interminable wrangle and the
possible blocking Of the business of the
house for several weeks was realized
Mr.. Byrd got copies of all the bills and
went to his room He read them over
and noted the chief points in all of them.
Then he called in his stenographer and
dictated a measure which combined many

suit was that no one would be willing

New Governors Appointments.


Gov.-elect Mann is being bes,eged with
applicants for various appointments which
he will have to make when he assumes
the rains of government February l.
There are a dozen boards for which lie
will have to name members. an adiutant
general, the members of his official staff
the colonies. his secretaries and many
positions of honor. There are several
applicants for every position he will have
to fill, and they come from all parts
of the state. The posts most DIES red
by the socially ambitious are the places
on his staff. the gentlemen having to buy
expensive uniforms and parade on state
occasions.
OF course, no one knows who will get
any of the places. and Judge Mann is not
saying a word at this time. He is de-
voting much of his time to winding up
his law practice and getting his private
affairs in such shape that he will not
nave to spend much of his time away
from the office after he shall have been
inaugurated. He is expected to make an
address on that occasion. and in that
he will outline many of his policies for
the four years he will fill the Office OF
governor. 1t is understood that not one
of the members of has family will have
a place in any position to be filled by
him.

nomination in the fourth district as mem
