IS A THING OF THE PAST
Curios of the Post Office Department.
Are Transferred to the
National Museum.

The Postal museum, which former
" attracted thousands of sightseers
to the postoffice department, is a.
thing of the past. Some time ago!
the dead letters, curios and other pos-l
tai relics representing the accumula-
tion of a century, together with a.
comprehensive exhibit of mail equip
ment and transportation facilities,
were assembled and catalogued at
the direction of the postmaster gen.
eral and transferred to the New MAJ
tional museum. The postage stamp
collection of the United States gov-
eminent, which formerly occupied the
third floor corridor Of the postofflce;
building. has been removed to the
Smithsonian Institute.
The American stamp collection :s
more complete than any owned by
other governments, and Its value is
conservatively estimated at half
million dollars. Practically every is-
sue of postage by the nations includ-
ed in the international postal union isi /
represented by all or nearly all de-
nominations, as there Is an arrange
ment between the postal administra-,
tions of those countries for the ex-
change Of specimens of all new Is
sues of stamps. :;
The issues of nations not adher-
ing to the international postal union
are naturally incomplete, but large
number of stamps illustrating parts
of those issues are included in Uncle
Sans collection. Every issue of the
United States government since l841,
the year the first American stamps
appeared, is complete with the excep-
tion In all Of about ten specimens
This is probably the most complete
set in existence, and many entire is;
sues are in duplicate
Two private collections of stampsi
exceed the American government COL
lection in size and value. The first
Is owned by French nobleman, and
the second belongs to a resident Of
Chicago.

scurried down to the ground, and, few
steps at time. stopping to watch sharp
lily between each little run. he drew
nearer and nearer to that aueer-acting
string. 1t gave him funny feeling in
side to see a string acting like that. SO
he was very careful not to get too near.
He looked at it from one side. then ran
around and looked at it from the other
side. At last he got where he could sec
that one end of the string was under an
old board. and then he began to under
stand. OF course. there was something
hiding under that old board and jerking
the string.
Striped Chipmunk sat down and
scratched his head thoughtfully Who
!, ever was pulling that string couldn't be
very big or they would never have been
able to crawl under that old board. there
fore he needn't be afraid. A CLEAN o.
mischief twinkled In Striped Chipmunk' s
string and began to pull. Such jerking
and yanking as began right away. But
he held on and pulled harder. Then out
from under the old board appeared the
queer, webbed feet of Grandfather Frog
tied together Striped Chipmunk was so
surprised that he let go of the string and
nearly fell over backward.
why, Grandfather Frog. what under
the sun are you doing here?' he shouted.
When Striped Chipmunk let go of the
string Grandfather Frog promptly drew
his feet back under the old board. but
when he heard Striped Chipmunks voice
he slowly and painfully crawled out. He
told how he had been caught and tied by
Farmer Browns boy. and finally dropped
near the old board. He told how terribly
frightened he was and how sore his legs
were. Striped Chipmunk didn't wait for
him to finish. In flash he was at work
with his sharp little teeth and had cut
the cruel string before Grandfather Frog
had finished his story
