VANCOUVER, b. c., Sept. p
Leach Cross took a beating at Brig
house arena yesterday afternoon when
he fought 12 rounds TO a draw with
Frank Barrieau of Vancouver before
a large Labor Day crowd. 1t had
been agreed at the suggestion of
Cross that the bout was TO be declar-
ed draw If both men were on their
feet at the finish and this agreement
saved the New Yorker from an ad-
verse decision as Barrieau outpointed
his opponent for eight rounds. In
only three rounds did Cross have an
advantage.
Early in the bout Cross appeared
to have adopted the tactics of taking
anything Barrieau offered. waiting
for an opportunity to land a knock
out. Twice in the first round Bar
reau caught the New Yorker off bal
ance and sent him sprawling. Both
times Cross came up feigning groggi-
I ness. In the next three rounds Bar

The stolen Stamps Business.

1t might be taken for granted that
every adult person of America 2 IS
aware that it is prison offense to sell
government postage stamps at less
tbauI face value But undoubtedly
tl1erd are thousands in our own State
who never heard of such a law. Per-
hapsi a generation has grown up since
suchsa law has been mentioned In the
public press. Then how should people
know of it, But the fact remains that
if you are buying stamps at even the
smallest percent. less than face value,
YOU are in league with some one who
is violating the federal law and sub
ject to severe punishment.
As a result of Investigations which
are being carried on in New York by
federal agents, the fact has come to
light that millions of dollars worth OF
stolen stamps are bought and sold ev-
cry year by regular brokers" whose
trade itself is a crime. The raids and
arrests which have been made, 1t is
said. are only the beginning of clean
ND of dealers in stolen stamps which
will reach from end to end of the coun-
try. For the very purpose of prevent
ing stamp thieves from disposing of
their spells the Federal Government
long ago made it a prison offense to
sell postage stamps for any price low
er than their face value: How little
this law has been known or feared is
indicated by the fact that for years a
distinguished Clergyman. an ofncer OF
prominent religious society, pur-
chased stamps at ten percent dis
count from a man who explained that
he got them by selling printed plays
for small sums. accepting stamps IN
payment for orders received by mail.
In New York at the present time, it
is said, the discount ranges from one
to five percent and at the time of the
raids no less than 20 brokers were
doing business, many of them having
well known and reputable business
houses as customers. One stamp
dealer who has been selling from 5000
TO $1,000 worth of stamps day, is said
to have bought part of his supply from
an employe of the New York State
Government at Albany. The official
was approached by postoffice inspec-
tors and confessed that he was steal
ing anywhere from $25 TO $50 a week
in stamps and selling them TO the New
York dealer. Another big downtown
dealer had a sandwich man" walk
through the streets of the financial
district every day at noon with pla-
cards announcing that the broker
would purchase printed postal cards
which We're still uncancelled. Such
cards are used in large quantities by
many downtown concerns, and the
man did thriving trade with office
boys who stale the cards in bundles
from their employers.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

A woman is so innocent she can tell
the truth in a way to fool people.
Genius seems to be able to do most
anything but support itself.
Only one of two roles is ever played
by love, either slave or tyrant.
A woman's idea of a perfect figure
is if hers were only fitted by taiiors
that know how to do it.
What makes a woman proudest Of
her husband is If he can get passes to
a theatre.
What makes love letter the best of
all to girl is for it to be the insanest
of all.
What makes woman suspicious
that pearls aren't genuine is for some
other woman to have them.
What makes a very thin girl SO
lucky is very little OF it has to show
on the outside.
A man thinks he's on rigid diet il
he cuts out one dish his wife likes and
he doesn't.
The reason men have no wits what
ever about money is they think they
have all there is to have.
Some men haven't any more eau
ton, when they happen to get a lit
tie money, than TO show it to ting
family.
Nobody but d women knows what
real excitement is. and that's when the
first new hat Of the season comes into
church.
The thing that scares a woman about
a burglar is what if he should look at
some OF the clothes she left around the
room.
It's just a mans luck to get back
a n-dollar loan the night he is going
to be home, so it will come in handy
for the family.--New York Press.
