DUPES sADDEN HITCHCOCK.
Postmaster General Hotfoot on Trail
of Stock Frauds.

This is pitiable sight," said Post
master General Hitchcock yesterday, as
he pointed to a pile of letters, a foot
high, lying his desk, all OF them
complaints from people in various parts
of the country who had invested
money in "set-rich-quick' concerns.
whose alluring announcements had
promised large dividends to the pur-
chaSers.
Many letters contained stock GER
tificates and bonds which are worth no
more than the paper they are printed
on.
Mr.. Hitchcock declares that the de-
partment is ''hotfoot" on the trail OF
some concerns. and that he hoped they
will be brought to the ground.
Many of these letters" said Mr.
Hitchcock. ARE sad commentaries on
the misplaced confidence which men
and women. many Of them poor. have
placed in their fellows. Thousands OF
such letters are received annually.
The department is going to do its
best to put these concerns out Of BUSH
ness.

Potatoes.
From the Edinburgh Dispatch.

From the Edinburgh Dispatch.
Carlyle once told man who was tinan-
cially interested in gold mining that all
the gold ever produced by California was
not worth one good mealy potato. And
yet the potato in Scotland has a history
of less than 200 years. When Macdonald
of Clanranald in 1743 bought seed pota-
toes for his tenants in South Uist they
objected to planting them because the
potato is not mentioned in the Bible!
Somewhat later George Bachop, one Of
the Ochtertyre tenants, when told by his
wife that she had potatoes for supper,
