Of Pennsylvania, tells the following
story:
In many OF the interior counties OF
Pennsylvania there are lay judges who

there was introduced into the legis-
lature a bin to abolish the Office OF lay
Judge. Judge Blank, himself lay

dietary committee at Harrisburg. which
was considering the matter
His argument was this: There Is

Tho Most Worthy One.


The lase Archbishop Ryan Of Phila-
delphla was u diplomat OF the first or
der and was possessed OF full share
OF Celtic wit and kindly humor.
Before the Catholic Standard and the
Catholic Times were combined TO form
one publication there were keen rivalry
and much controversy between their
proprIetors and readers as to which
was the more truly representative Ro-
man Catholic organ In Philadelphia.
Each sought eagerly to gain the Off
eial Endorsement OF the archbishop. On
one occasion prominent layman tried
to trap him into statement as to
which OF the two publications he pre-
ferred
"Well, will give you my opinion"
said the archbishop deliberately at is
certain that the Standard is far ahead
of the times, and ii is equally certain
that the Times Is much above the
standard; therefore / prefer to regard
as most worthy the one which Is thus
proved to be superior"

roads are a necessity because OF the
lack OF suitable material. There

NOT A MISSING STAMP
Yet Director RaIph's Bureau Handles
100000 Daily

Washington, July 12.-Director Jo-
seph T. Ralph OF the bureau OF en-
craving and printing, who makes
S12,OOOO00 a day, had his accounts
checked up and balanced to the pen
ny.
Ten postollice inspectors swooped
down on the bureau unheralded on
June 10 to check up the stamp ac-
count, which amounted to $4,000, 600.
After working for eleven days they
found that the supply tailed with the
records TO the last one cent stamp.
The bureau prints and handles $4,000
600 stamps daily, or 11,100, 100000 in
each fiscal year, and not stamp has
ever been misplaced or stolen since
Director Ralph has been in charge
AS an automatic tally is kent of
every stamp turned out by every ma
chine used in the process, from the
engrayer's plate to the perforating
and sticking, the supply OF stamps
must always tally with the record OF
the machines. The checking is done
at irregular intervals by inspectors.
Director Ralph is responsible for
all stamps printed until they actually
reach the hands OF postmasters.

The census figures relative TO the
number of sheep in the United States
are printed in The Banner today
They show that in New England the
number Of sheep kept has decreased
one-half since 1900. In Vermont the
decrease is considerably more than
one half The figures are Of pass
ing interest though not as important
as they would seem to be at first
thought. The truth probably is that
the demand for milk has so increas-
ed through the running OF through
milk trains to the big cities that
cows have displaced sheep in the
larger sheep raising districts of the
state, and especially in Addison
county. Cows are proving more pro
htable than sheep. therefore farmers
are reducing their number OF sheep
and adding to their herds OF cows.
