ter being induced to sign agreements

standing thot patents would issue
without delay, have been informed
that their patents would not issue un-
til the land had been examined. The
injustice and absurdity Of this prac-
tice prompted Representative Mondell,
author OF the law under which set
tiers may secure patent to the sur
face Of coal lands, to protest to the
commissioner Of the General Land
Office.

were In many cases using browbeat-

cure the signatures of settlers to

cettler of his rights in the matter
their duty ends.

COLLECTING POSTAGE STAMPS.
Worldwide Hobby That Is to Be
Respected.
From the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript
Probably collections of postage stamps
were begun simultaneously with the issue
of the first stamps, which took place at
London in May, 1S4O-a circumstance that
favors this view being that, in 1912,
Punch ridiculed collectors. 1t was al
most twenty years later, however, that
stamp collecting began to be systemati-
cally carried on, and the recorded history
of the science or art Or pastime, which
ever one may choose to call it. appears
to date from 1862 The first English and
American catalogues were published in
that year, SO was the first attempt at
stamp album, and the periodical literature
of the hobby started in England during
the same twelvemonth. 1t was not until
1869 that the first great club of collectors
the Philatelic Society Of London, was or
ganized. and, though several local asso-
Citations preluded, our own national body,
the American Philatelic Society, delayed
to be born until seventeen years after
that Now the nations are filled with
municipal or general associations. At the
last British philatelic congress more than
forty were represented, and the number
of them in the world at large is said
to exceed 400

OLD RACING DAYS.
An English Horseman's Reminis.

From Baily's Magazine.
OF all the innovations that have taken

strikes an old stager like myself SO much

jockeys.
Not only is the crouching seat most
unpleasing to the cyclone celebrated

very few Of the jockeys seem to have

consequence that swerving and boring.
not to mention accidents, are Of far more
frequent occurrence than formerly.

French, Fred Webb, Custance, Tom Chal-

The only time / ever saw a horse fairly
get the upper hand of Archer was In

two-year-old belonging to the Duke or

improvements set in, when a hack was

might be.
At that period there were many more
