"Old Pete" Is Dead

Peter Morton, or "Old Pete" a colored man and a
quaint character Of antebellum days, died at his home
in Geneva court recently, the Cincinnati Enquirer says.
He did not know his exact age, which was about 80
years. and there is probably no one living who does.
"Od Pete" since the close of the civil war, has at
different times been a family servant and man Of all
work in many prominent families on the hills, and IN
Avondale and varied his employment occasionally by
doing porter work in downtown stores. 1t is related OF
him, and the story was confirmed by himself, that before
the civil war he was the. property of a Kentucky gam
bier, who went broke, and pete" with all other chattels
possessed by the gambler. had to be sold to satisfy his
creditors.
The officers of a bank in Maysville, Ky, who had
taken a liking to the colored man on account OF his gen.
ial good nature and strict honesty, offered to buy his
freedom for him if he would execute his personal note
in their favor and make his payments upon 1t, accord
ing as he was able, until they were repaid. This he
agreed to do, but with the close of the civil war and the
scattering of his friends far and wide, Pete fell into hard
lines from the lack of a permanent home and steady
EMPLOYMENT, but he never forgot his financial obligations
to his banker benefactors and he continued making his
payments to them for 20 years after the close at the
war. until the debt was finally paid.

imaginable vehicle for announcement of price quota

daily reports of travelling statesmen, etc.
onder the new system Of postal card manufacture
the work will not be so concentrated as at present. I'm
der the plan now in vogue all the operations of manu-
racture, from the process of cutting down the forest trees
and reducing them to paper to boxing up the completed
postal cards for shipment, is carried on in the little
Maine city. where about 900 men are employed, in one
way or another, in postcard manufacture. Under the
new scheme the government will buy the raw material.
notably the paper or cardboard and the ink. but all the
operations Of postcard manufacture will be carried on In
the great printing Office under the shadow of the United
States capitol, where 5000 men and women are regu-
larly employed. A contract that calls for the delivery
of between two million and three million complete post
al cards every working day in the year would swamp
the biggest private printing plant in the country, but
this new responsibility has been treated as merely an
incidental at the model printery of the world. The force
will have to be increased somewhat and perhaps some
new printing presses will be installed-although the off,
cials say the work can be handled with the equipment
now in place.
The government has drawn with great care the speci-
fcations for the paper to be used for the new postal
cards with a view to obtaining a grade of material with
longer fiber than that heretofore in use and presenting a
better surface for writing in ink. The paper will be
delivered to the government printing office in 600-pound
rolls, each containing the material for 10000 cards, and
the printing will be done on presses each of which Will
reel off 5000 sheets of postal cards per hour, each sheet
being made up of 100 separate cards. It can thus be
figured that each press can print upward of onethlrd
of a million postal cards per hour, and since several such
presses can be employed If necessary and the govern
ment printing Office is in operation night and day. there

the Information of DR.. Barnett extends, these societies
were formed primarily to raise and establish prices.
The article then refers to various local organizations

date and continues by saying that about 1848 the organi.

larger American cities.
"The first suggestion that the local associations should
form an organization was made in 1884, and two years
later delegates from associations at Baltimore, New
York, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Washington and New
Orleans assembled in Washington and framed a constltu'
ton for the National Typographical society. The hrse
session was held in New York in 1887, when the name
was changed to the National Typographical association.

which are sold in postofices all over the land. This
takes no account of the souvenir or picture postcards
which are sold in the United States by the millions ev-
cry year. Of course, there is nothing official about these
illustrated postcards. They do not bear on their face,
as do federal postcards, a stamp emitting them to trans
mission through the mails, and such souvenir card is car
ried in the mails only when a one-cent stamp is affixed
to it. Consequently it is the enormous swelling of the
sales Of onecent stamps and not the expansion Of the
governmental postcard trade that indicates the enormous
and widespread popularity of the souvenir postcard fad

million dollars for the postal cards which will be issued
to the patrons of our postal system between now and
New Year day, 1915. However, this new contract is char
acterized by several features of great interest aside from
the large amount of money represented. Foremost among
these is the fact that Uncle Sam is. in effect, contract
ing to supply himself with postal cards of his own manu-
facture. Heretofore all the postal cards required in this
country have been turned out by private manufacturers
and, indeed, for years past, the manufacture of postal
cards has been the principal industry of the little city
of Rumford Falls, Me. Henceforth, however, the gov.
eminent will print its postal cards at the great govern
ment printing office in Washington. the largest printing
plant in the world.
The postofice department will continue to pay for
the postal cards, just as it did when they were obtained
from private manufacturers. but the process will amount
to Uncle Sam taking money out of one pocket and put
ting into another. At the same time the government
will save money by the new plan of obtaining its post
card supplies. It has been realized for some time past
by the ~postofice officials that it would be a great con-
venience if the government could print its own postal
cards at Washington 0he point from which they are
distributed to all parts of the country instead Of hav-
ing them manufactured in Maine, with the consequent
loss of time in sending them to Washington for distri-
button. The government had proven by years of practice
that 1t could produce its postage stamps and its paper
money more cheaply than If the work were given to out
siders, and accordingly Postmaster General Hitchcock.
who is a live business man, determined to see If a SINH
lar saving, combined with more efficient service. could
not be effected in the case of the postcards. The gov
eminent printing office submitted competitive bids on
the same basis as it's outside rivals and 1t underb1d
them all.
A second important feature in connection with the
new contract for postal cards is found In the fact that
this new deal contemplates cards of better quality than
have heretofore been in use. Especially will there be a
marked improvement in the surface of the card and this
will enable it to take ink more readily. In future. prob
ably, there will be few complaints from people who are

"discloses the fact that mass meetings Of printers for
the purpose of considering trade questions were. held in
New York as early as 1776 and in Philadelphia in 1886.
Continuous organizations were formed in New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston before the close Of
the eighteenth century or shortly thereafter and the Ty-
biographical Society of New York was in existence from
1895 to 1897. In 1899 the Franklin Typographical society
was organized in the same city. In 1909 the New York
Typographical society was organized and Is still in exist
ence. The Philadelphia Typographical society was organ
lied in 1902 and Is also still active.
However, DR.. Barnett asserts that there Is some evil
dence that there had been a printers society in the
Quaker city previous to this, known as the Asylum Com
pany.' The date of the first Baltimore organization ts
equally uncertain, but probably as early as 1903. There
was also a society in existence in Boston in that year.
The author says that no societies appear to have been
formed outside of the four cities named before 1910, IN
which year the Philadelphia society received a communi-
cation from the New Orleans Typographical society, in

grade of postal card will be of finer quality than the old. 1t
will also be lighter in weight and this latter consideration
will mean hundreds and mayhap thousands of dollars saved

1t is also the ambition of Postmaster General Hitchcock to
make our postal cards more artistic-to put them, in fact, on
a plane with the very handsome postal cards issued by some
foreign countries, and to that end he plans to change the
tint of the card and to change the color of the ink in which
it is printed. Just what tints and colors will be selected for
the new color scheme, cannot be determined until expert
ments have been made.

This means that the American people who adopt the
very convenient scheme of allowing Uncle Sam to
furnish the stationery for their correspondence will
purchase and send through the mails nearly a billion
cards every twelvemonth. In other words, on an av.
erage, every man, woman and child in the United
States will use 10 or II postal cards every year. In
actual practice there are, of course, hundreds Of
thousands of persons, including young children. who
never buy a postal card from one end of the year to
the other, but, on the other hand, the above-men-
toned average is attained through the firms and
business houses which, in many instances, use hun

A Watermelon Joke

L. II. Korth, a prominent farmer
of Truxton, Mo-, AMI Chas. ME-
meier, OF Harieman, were Marshall
visitors Monday closing real estate
deals. MIR. Korth for the W. H
VanBooven farm of 204 acres near
Cambridge and Mr.. Niemeier for
the Nick Huston place, near his
farm, of 112 1-2 acres. The gen.
tlemen made us a pleasant call and
a curious fact was revealed.
Mr.. Korth came from Germany
about % years ago and went tor
work at Warrenton in a black
smith shop. Soon after we came
along with a watermelon and al il
was the first he had seen he re-
m%embered the incident and name.
This reminded Mr.. Niemeier of
his watermelon experience. He
also came from the old country
and was treated to a watermelon
which he pronounced a first-class
article. Soon after, he had a long
trip on foot and passed a pump
kin patch in a corn field and be-
ing hungry reached over the fence
and carried one to a comfortable
place and cut it open. When he
found it was "green" he remem-
bered that the melon was green
in color instead of yellow and went
back for another. This also turn
ed out bad and he was then afraid
he had eaten something poison, so
soon after asked what those things
in the corn field were and was re-
lieved to find they were not pois-
onous.
Both gentlemen arrived "broke"
ana r now On 'easy street,. Mr..
Niemeier says he expects to b ny
a nice home here next fall AMI
will retire.
