History of Red Cross Seal.

Charity stamps" first used in
Boston in 1852 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 a 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 $780,
900 was realized for the anti-tubercu-
losis movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, $250,000 was rea-
lized 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"

GETTING EVEN WITH MAMMA
In This Case Chiid's Punishment Ger.
tainty Failed to Have SaIu-
tary Effect.

A little girl had beer so very
naughty that her mother found it
necessary to shut her up in a dark
closet-in that family. the direst
punishment for the worst offense.
For Is minutes the door had been
locked without a sound coming from
behind it.. Not a whimper. not a sniff
file.
At last the stern but anxious parent
unlocked the closet door and peered
into the darkness. She could see
nothing.
What are you doing in there?" she
cried.
And hen a little voice piped from
the blackness:
Il thpit on your new dress and |
thpit on your new hat, and I'm wait
ing for more thpit to come to thpit
on your new parasol!"

the Mingo hills, and ever beyond the
state line, along lonely trails, across
hills and through valleys, and beside
CHEEKY creeks and brooks, it was
known that a strange man from Co
lumbia IA in Mingo county looking
for the sheriff, and Appleweight. alias
Poteet, and his men were everywhere
On guard.
Griswold liked the prosecuting at
torney OF sight. His nam was Haber-
sham, and he was a youngster with a
clear and steady gray eye. Instead of
the southern statesman's flowing
Prince Albert, he wore a sack-coat of
gray jeans. and was otherwise distin-
guished by a shirt of white and blue
check. He grinned as Griswold bent
a puzzled look upon him.

pleweight was indicted for stealing a
ham in this county by the last grand
jury, but the sheriff has failed or re-
fused to make the arrest. How did
the grand jury come to indict If this
outlaw dominates all the hill coun-
try"
The grand jury wanted to make a
showing of virtue, and 1t was. of
course, understood between the fore
man. the leader Of the gang, and the
sheriff that no warrant could be
served on Appleweight. l did my
duty; the grand jury's act was ex-
emplary; and there the wheels of JUS
tice are blocked. The same thing is
practically true across the state line
in Dilwell county, North Carolina.
These men, led by Appleweight. use
their intimate knowledge of the coun-

the revenue men undertake a raid,
and the county authorities have never
seriously molested them. Now and

III comfort. Griswold reflected that
the very TACT that he had wired from
Columbia must have intimated to Ard
more that his friend was flying to-
"aru him. pursuant to the Atlanta in
Vltatlon. Griswold dismissed a thou
SAND speculations as unworthy. Ard
more had never shown the remotest
trace OF s~nobbishness, and as far as
the threatened house party was con-
cerned, Griswold knew Mrs. Atchison
very well, and had been entertained at
her New York house.
The patronizing tone of the thing
caused Griswold to flush at every
reading. If the Ardsley date line had
not been so plainly written; If the
p~hraseology were not so characteris-
TIC, there might be room fc- doubt;
but Ardmore-Ardmore, of all men,
had slapped him in the face.
But, scarlet fever or no scarlet
fever, the pursuit of Appleweight had
precedence of private grievances. By
the time he reached Turner Court
House Girls void had dismissed the
ungraciouaness of Ardmore, and his
jaws were set with a determination
to perform the mission intrusted to
him by Barbara Osborne, and to wait
until later for an accounting with his
unaccountable friend.
Arrived at Turner's, Griswold
STROBE at once toward the courthouse.
The contemputuous rejection of his
message by the sheriff of Mingo had
angered Griswold, but he was destined
to feel even more poignant insolence
when, entering the sheriff's office, a
deputy, languidly posed as a letter
"V" in a swivel-chair, with his feet
on the mantel, took a cob pipe from
his mouth and lazily answered Girls

persisted Griswold sweetly.

He reached for a match, relighted his
pipe, and carefully crossed his feet On
the mantel-shelf. The moment Girls
wold's steps died away in the outer
corridor the deputy rose and busted
himself SO industriously with the tele-
phone that within an hour all through

Lloyd C. Griscom, in an interview
in New York, said of party dissen'

"They are animated by a nasty spir-
