lative committee of bureau to work
with other organizations I'm the state

TO USE STAMPS
FOR CHRISTMAS
UNCLE SAM is PREPARING TO RE-
PLACE GOLD PIECES CON-
MONTY USED WITH saw
INGS STAMPS.

Uncle Sam as source of supply for
pieces to stamps.
Up to this year the government
mints coined large quantities of $3.50
gold pieces which were known among
the treasury officials as Christmas
money.
II was decided this year to discon
tinue the coinage of the gold pieces
and now Uncle Sam has placed an or
der for a large quantity of bright new
yellow postal savings stamps. These
together with postal card upon which
they are to be pasted, represent a de-
post in Uncle Sans new postal saw
ings bank.
In order to stimulate savings among
the youngsters of Yankee land, Uncle
Sam has gone to great expense to fur
nish an attractive stamp.
The card upon which the stamps are
pasted will cost 10 cents and will be

the initial deposit of 10 cents. Each
card holds nine stamps. which costs 10
cents each. This may be exchanged

With the use of the stamps for
Christmas presents. will arise the
question of whether the postmasters
may be required or may lawfully do
a mail order business" for the postal
savings system will only be installed
in one or possibly two postoffices in
each state this year.
This question has not yet been de-
cided by the officials. They are of the
opinion, however. that If the mail or
ders for postal savings stamps do not
reach big amount for any one office
it will be allowable for a postmaster
to fiji mail orders until more posta
savings repositories are established.
Generally speaking, however. the
postal savings system is not to be &

HoWE's MOVING PICTURES.
Noted Traveller, as Usual, is Present.
ing a Good Program.

Lyman II. Howe, whose celebrated
pictures have made him ia
nous, will present his latest program
at the Calumet theater on Nov. II and
10. Mr.. Howe writes that this years
program surpasses any that he has
ever before presented. All records foi
big business have been broken at Lou
isville, Montreal. Cleveland, Pittsburg
Cincinnati, Baltimore, Kansas City
Philadelphia, Detroit and Denver. La
each city the company remained five
to eleven weeks without a change
of program. This is the greatest rec
ord that any of Mr.. Howe's companies
have ever made and he regards ii as a
stronger guarantee of the importance
of the attraction than anything lie
might be able 10 say.
The Billboard, recognized as one of
the leading theatrical journals of the
country, in it's issue of Aug. 20 said of
the program that will be presented
here: "Howe's moving pictures are all
the rage. and the audiences are dis
tinctly representative of. int elect and
fashion. Pictures representing scenes
in foreign countries appeal greatly tc
the people. A picture showing viewf
of the eruption of Mt Etna evoked the
greatest interest and applause. Hina
Edwards funeral was the feature ol
the week. Large crowds are always
in attendance and the admission OF
greater than the Accommodations af-
ford" This was at Baltimore.

Probably the most interesting fea-
ture of the remarkable sale of CAS-
Ka now going on at the metropolitan
drug store, is what CAS-KA is ac-
tually accomplishing i'm Calumet. Four
weeks ago this medicine wls COM
paratively unknown here. Today
CAS-KA is being purchased in ire
mendous quantities by Calumet people.
There must be some reason for this
rapid success, and the reason can be
ascertained by an hour spent at the
drug store listening to what people
say who have been taking the prepa-
ration and have come to repurchase.
Among the statements made. the fol
lowing will give some idea of what
these callers are saying. at the same

TREASON TO YOUR TOWN.
Why Spending Your Money Elsewhere
Might Be So Described.

Might Be So Described.
In a recent address before the West
ern New York Newspaper Publishers
association e. f. Bussey. publisher Of
the Phelps IN. Y, Citizen, said:
1.-The problem is really a serious one
and has not received the attention it
should have had. This in a large
measure accounts for the expansion of
the business to immense proportions.
One concern in Chicago claims to have
a business of 500. O00, 900 per year. with
an estimated profit of IA per cent.
amounting to yer 81, 600.
Zone village with Il population of
5000 is cited as an example of what
the mail order business means locally.
1t is claimed that during the month Of
December las over $1,000 was sent in
money orders from hat village to one
Chicago mail order house. A letter of
inquiry brings forth the reply that
there is no foundation for such a
statement. although what is consid-
cred a large amount Of business is
actually sent to the mail order houses.
The estimate given places it at about
$4,000 annually.
"a somewhat recen development Of
mail order business is the trade in
ladies' wearing apparel. A number Of
ladies p%atronize houses dealing in
these goods without realizing that in
permitting themselves to be ensnared
by the exponent Of the new fad, the
psychology of advertising, they are
laying themselves open to criticism
quite as much is the man who is de-
luded into sending away his hard
earned dollars for goods which show
up beautifully in the catalogue, but
have a decidedly different appearance
when he receives them.
"The regular mail order houses at the
present time have alluring advertise
ments in the magazines in which they
offer apparently wonderful bargains in
ladies' suits. The psychological feature
Of the advertisements seems to be the
guarantee. which is given great promi-
hence. OF course the reader is not ex-
pected to draw the deduction that in
case the goods are not right the firm
has a correspondent to deal with the
case who is quite as expert in his line
as the high salaried man who writes
the ads. In the matter of ladies' suits
it should not be a difficult matter to
present a strong argument in favor of
making a personal selection from a
large stock in a store known to be re-
liable in preference to sending to a dis
tant city and buying, as it were. a cat
in a bag. The local houses unquestion-
ably have the advantage Of the best
arguments, and these if properly pre-
scented are bound to prove effective"

Coquenil believed that they were
words of wisdom, and without a mo-
ment's hesitation he acted on that be-
lief. The wall underneath the shelf
was half covered with piled up logs.
and these must be removed in spite OF
the flames.
1t was the work Of a mailman or of
one inspired. Three times Coquenil
fell to the floor, gasping for breath.
The skin on his arms and neck was
hanging away in shreds.
At last the space was cleared, and
Paul Coquenil stumbled forward and
seized the left hand bracket and
pressed it with all his might.
Instantly a door underneath, cum
ningly hidden in the wall, yawned
open on a square black passage.
With a bound he was back at the
shelter and had Alice in his arms.
smiling again, as she slept-as she
dreamed. And a moment later be had
carried her safely through flames that
actually singed her hair and laid her
tenderly in the cool passage. And be-
side her be laid the baron's diary!
Then he went back to close the door.
But first he reached up inside that
fiery furnace and, cropping over the hot
stone shelf, brought down a scorched
and battered and dust covered little
figure that had lain there for many
years.
1t was the lost dolly!

Eyes" he agreed, Il know about the
door. butt forget how to get it open"
"Silly"" She stamped her foot again.
You push on that stone thing under
the shelf"
Coquenil looked at the shelf and saw
that it was supported by two stone
brackets.
"You mean the thing that holds the
shelf up?"
Yes: you must press it."
But there are two things that hold
the shelf up. Is it the one on this side
that you press or the one on that
side?"
Dear me. what an aggravating boy.
It's the n on this side. of course"
Good"
He found her suddenly limp in his
arms. Having spoken these strange
words of wisdom or of folly. she had
gone back into uncOnsciousness.

FIoatinu Fish iva

The fish known as the lnla. of India
and Ceylon-a species Of ophiocephalus
lis said to be unique among fresh wa
tersfish in laying eggs which float on
the water until Matched. To prepare
a place for the eggs the lula beats
back the rushes and bites off the
weeds. The eggs are then spread out
in a sheet flush with the surface Of the
water. and the male mounts guard
owe them. They are large and Of a
golden yellow or amber color. A sin
gle large globule Of oil immersed in
the yolk of each egg gives them their
buoyancy. The eggs, thus freely ex-
posed to the warmth Of the sun, hatch
out in three days or even sooner. The
lula is said to be homogeneous.

went through the arched opening into
the larger chamber and made a hur-
ried inspection. The room was about
fifteen feet square and ten feet high,
with everything Of s~tone-walls. floor
and arched ceiling. Save for the pas
sage into the smaller room there was
no sign of an opening anywhere ex-
cept two small square holes near the
ceiling, probably ventilating shafts.
Around the four walls were logs
piled evenly to the height of nearly
six feet, and at the archway the pile
ran straight through into the smaller
room. The logs were in two foot
lengths. and as the archway was about
four feet wide the passage between
the two rooms was half blocked with
wood.
Coquenil walked slowly around the
chamber, peering carefully into cracks
between the logs. as IL searching for
something. AS he went on he held the
candle lower and lower and presently
got down upon his hands and knees

Pictorial Wash Lists,

Pretty old inventions are our modern
wash lists. The old German house
wife had an odd way Of keeping track
Of the garments she gave out to be
washed. She had a picture Of each
article and wrote down the number Of
everything opposite &c it with a piece
of chalk, which was rubbed out when
the article was returned, to be used
again the next week. 1t was really q

"Why?" cried the baron hoarsely.
SsDon't you see why? You know
everything now, everything. 1t isn't
guesswork; it isn't deduction; it's alb
solute certainty. And because it's
true, and because we both know it to

"Of course" agreed the other with

"Goodby, Coquenil." He held out his
hand. I'm sorry"
"Goodby," answered the detective
with quiet dignity. III it's all the

"No?" He moved toward the heavy
door.

with grim confidence at the stacked
wood. You'll have fifteen or twenty
minutes after she comes in. Goodby."
The door swung open, and Coquenil
saw a dim. white clad figure among
the shadows. and Alice. with beauti-
full. frightened eyes, staggered toward
