the train to leave the rails and bump
him out Of his berth on to the floor
Of the sleeper, gave Coniston some

Fortunately, the train was not going
fast, and he escaped with a few

The president of the Portland con-

Also I determined to pitch during

under an assumed name. This might
be considered unfair to pitchers for

an unfair advantage, but the truth Is
that It was not so, for two reasons. In

History Of Red cross Seal.

Charity stamps" first used In
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war, were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu.
berculosis society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use of a stamp
for the purpose Of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In q hastily or
ganized campaign of only three weeks
they realized $4,000. The next year,
1908, the American Red Cross con.
Quoted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale $685..
900 was realized for the anti-tubercu-
losis movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, $250,000 was rea-
liked from these stamps. This year
the slogan Of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is "A Million for
tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals
in 1910"
