AO Ate the HAY.

There are still some mighty eaters
left Not long ago a Berlin market
porter undertook for a wager to put
away at one sitting six mutton chops,
twelve eggs, a goose, a duck, nix
pounds Of potatoes and twenty-five
pounds Of hay. Difficulties were antic.
ipated with the last course, and large
sums were laid against the accom-
plishment Of the feat. The ingenious
porter solved the difficulty by calling
for a cigarette after he had finished
the duck. He then get light to the
hay, pounded the ashes up with the
potatoes and swallowed the lot. Aft.

Plain as Day.

A man recently visited the art
museum in Chicago and wandered
about, looking at the paintings with
more or less interest. He finally
stopped in front of a portrait which
showed man sitting in high-backed
chair. There was a small white card
on the picture, reading;
"A portrait of e. H. Smith. by him
self"
The man read the card and then
chuckled to himself.
What fools these city folks are.''
he said. Anybody who looks at that
picture would know Smiths by him
self. There amt any one else in the
picture. Chicago Tribune

May Erect Statue of Meade.

Before long congress probably will
sanction an appropriation to be used
In erecting In Washington an eques-
trian statue in memory of General
George B. Meade. The bill for the I'D.
preparation already has been introduc-
ed In the senate by Senator Warner
of Missouri. 1t has been referred to
the committee on library, which has
charge of such matters, and 1t is un-
derstood that 1t viii be reported favor
ably within a short time.
1t was General George b. Meade
who was in command of the Federal
army at the battle of Gettysburg. He
won the three days battle, one which
marked the turning of the tide Of the
civil war in favor of the North. It
always has been remarked upon as
curious that no memorial of General
Meade is to be found In the national
capital, where nearly all the other
officers of high rank and achievement
have their services recognized by
statues. In fact, there are statues in
Washington of some army officers
whose deeds almost have been forgot
ten, but memorial to Meade is not
In evidence.

Reason for Past Neglect.

There is reason for past neglect to
honor the commander of the Army Of
the Potomac-for Meade bore that
Gettysburg up to the very close of the
war, although of course General Grant
was in chief command of the armies
which pressed on to Richmond. A
great many military authorities hold
that Meade ought to have followed up
his Gettysburg victory by the pursuit
Of General Lee. 1t has been held that
he could have crushed Lees army II
he had made vigorous pursuit and
successive assaults.
There are other military authorities
who say that Meade knew what he
was doing, and that the circumstances
of the case did not admit of a rapid
and effective following Of General
Lees retreating army. Il makes lit
tie difference On which side Of the
controversy merit lies. The fact re-
mains that the supposed inactivity Of
Meade after the battle Of Gettysburg
largely has been a factor IN prevent.
ing up to this time a recognition Of
his services by a statue In the cay
itol city. There was the same sort Of
feeling existing with regard to Gen.
eraI George B. Mcclellan. but today
one Of the finest memorials IN the
city is that Of Mcclellan, which stands
on an imposing site near the crest Of
Connecticut avenue hill

A new Registered
STAMP IS IN USE
LOCAL POSTOEFICE RECEIVES
DESIGN FROM DEPARTMENT
AT WASHINGTON.

The local post office has received a
circular from Postmaster General
Frank Hitchcock announcing that q
new 1-cent stamp of special design
for the extensive use of registered
mail has been prepared and will be
offered for sale December 1.
The stamp of rectangular in shape
approximately three-quarters by
seven -eighths Of an inch In size. The
color is light blue. The design shows
an eagle with extended wings perched
upon rack within a circle set In
panel of plain lines.
Above the circle and following its
curves the words United States Reg
istry" appear in two lines. In the
two lower corners the denomination
40" appears within a small circle
with the word Gents" between.
Although the new stamp has been
designed specially for registered mail,
II will not prevent the use of other
stamps for that purpose. Ordinarily
l-cent stamps are purchased for reg
istered mail, and often as many as
ten or fifteen of them are placed on
one package. A saving to the de-
department will result It is believed,
from the new stamp.
The registry stamps will not be
good for postage or special delivery
and for this reason they are not likely
