It has ever been accomplished by an

Tommy was in trouble. Tommy was
also in bed, for his trouble was bro

ground too hard when he fell out Of the
apple tree. He was lying on his white
pillow and dreaming of the good times
the boys were having outside when the
door opened. and to his great amuse-
ment in walked Jack, the old rooster.
He was carrying a big book under his
wing. and he came straight for the
bed. Tommy felt like crying out with
mingled fear and surprise as he saw
Jack hop up on the table beside him,
but his voice seemed to be stuck some
where down In his stomach. Jack said
nothing, but pulled big pair Of spec
tacies from beneath his other wing
and opened large book of notes. Tom
my's eyes bulged.

ed timidly.
"Going to read you few helpful
rules for climbing trees. Some from
nv own valuable experience" said
Jack, winking one eye and turning the
pages with his claws. "If you will
climb trees, you should know how to
do it."
This certainly is queer" thought

UNCLE SANS STAMPS.
Wonderful Collection In the Postoffiee
Department Museum

Wonderful Collection In the Postoffies
Department Museum.
The fact that nearly all men at some
time were stamp collectors is said to
account for the popularity OF the otti-
ciaI stamp collection Of the United
States postOftice department maintain
ed in connection With the postal mu.
scum in Washington. t'ostottice de-
partment officials say 100000 men call
every year to see the museum stamp
collection.
The postoffice department museum
is full of interesting objects. 1t con-
tains almost everything from lock
of Charles Guiteau's hair to models OF
the big battleships of the navy. but
by far it's most interesting feature. &C.
cording to the officials in charge, Is
the stamp collection. Few visitors
miss that sight. and many "hobbyists
spend hours porting over it.
Uncle Sam as a stamp collector Is
most signal success. He not only has
a complete set of his own stamps. but
n complete collection from every other
stamp issuing country in the civilized
world us we'll His collection is val
ued by the department at $2OO.oO0.
but stamp dealers say it would de-
mand q figure many times that sum II
placed on the open market for sale
The fact that Uncle Sans stamp
collection is absolutely complete is
statement difficult to comprehend. even
to those who have been collectors
themselves Most of those who were
collectors in years gone by will re-
member how many empty places there
were in their albums when they glo-
ried in the possession Of 1.5OO and
1000 specimens They will recall how
many new varieties above the 2.ON
mark cost from IS to $50 each; also
the small fortunes placed on some OF
the specially rare specimens. the kind
which the dealers catalogues related
had been printed only to the nnmbe:
of 100 or so and but six or seven were
known to be in existence.
Well. Uncle Sans stamp collection
possesses all of these. besides the thou
sands of common kinds. Although II
has taken hard work. many years ano

today stands absolutely complete. The

AS bird fashions do not change, two

of them. Each separate feather must
be cleaned and looked over and the
useless ones pulled out. These feath-
ers are not packed close together. you
know. but lie loose and have places
between filled with air. When bird
wants to get warmer he lifts his feath
