"The elephants beak hoax" Is one OF
the best jokes ever played at the ex-

a half dozen well known philatelists
who were astoulshed by the announce
ment that q we'll known New York
stamp collector had secured the only
copy of peculiar stamp later known
as 1.-The elephant stamp bill" This
stamp bore as its central design the
figure of an elephant with the beak
and wings Of bird This stamp, so
the story went. was designed by a well
known South American revolutionist
who was about to overthrow the exist
ing regime. The design on the stamp
was meant to designate that the new
ruler had the strength Of an elephant
alas for the plans Of mice and men!
His plot was discovered, and among
the supplies seized were half a million
of the stamps Of the new and yet un-
born republic. These were ordered de-
stroyed. One of the soldiers had man
aged to smuggle about hundred OF
these away. but he was finally caught
and shot at daybreak. Before his exc
cution, however. he had given one
stamp to a little boy, and this had In
some very reasonable and plausible
way found the New York collector
after many months.
The stamp was naturally of great
price and would have brought big

pared notes and found that each had

this way the interesting hoax was dis

TOOK HIS FATHERS PLACE.
Tho Night Edwin Booth First APP
peared as Richard Ill.

Between the ages of fifteen and
eighteen Edwin Booth was almost con-
stantly the intimate companion Of his
father, Junius Brutus Booth the elder.
That fathers eccentricities were SUCH
as to tax even the devotion OF such
q son, but Edwin's afectionate care
never failed. He used to beguile the
tragedian's time following his arduous
performances by playing the violin or
singing negro ballads, accompanying
himself on the banjo. Many times he
attended his father on long walks be-
tween midnight and morning. In 1851.
on a certain night, the father was
booked to appear as Richard III. at
the National theater, New York. An
hour before the time for the curtain
to rise he chose to lock himself In
closet at his hotel and refused every
persuasion his son could offer to keep
his engagement
In despair Edwin rushed to the the
ater to explain his fathers absence.
The house was. already filed. The
manager was distracted and in his
excited questioning Of the boy acct-
dentally learned that the tragedian
had flippantly told Edwin to go and
act Richard himself. We'll take him
at his word" said the manager. And
the frightened boy was FASTENED to
the stage and helped into his fathers
Gloster costume, several sizes too big
for him. Members Of the company
gave helpful encouragement.
The play opened without an explana-
ton to the audience. When Edwin
made his entrance for the opening solil-
ouuy the substitution was Immediate
ly recognized. but so also was the boy,
for Edwin had several times appeared

In the same play, in which role be
made his very first appearance. The
audience was kindly tolerant for
time, then interested and finally enthu-
siastic. for Edwin Booth, although only
eighteen years Of age, played Richard
worthily, revealing many flashes OF
that brilliant genius that afterward
made him a star Of much greater emf
nence than his father had ever achieV-
ed. On the strength Of this success
Edwin Booth was soon engaged by
the manager of a Baltimore stock COM
