The silver cup commemorative
of the Inauguration of the parcel
post system in the United States
has recently been deposited in
the United States National Mu-
scum by Postmaster Morgan, of
New York City. In recording
the event in the beginning of the
service, which has proved even
in its breif duration, one of the
most useful factors in the service
of the public, former Postmaster
General Hitchcock purchased a
loving cup which he sent through
the first delivery of the parcel
post service to Postmaster Nor
gan. of New York City, the morn
ing of January 1.1913. This cup
has since been engraved with
the history of its origin and SER
vice. and placed in the Division
of History of the United States
National Museum by Postmaster
Morgan as memorial of the
opening of the new postal SER
vice. The cupis of a very grace
full design, and quite plain. 1t
stands eight inches high, and
measures three and three-fourths
inches across the top. Following
the standard type loving cup. it
has two handles, and an inscrip-
ton reads as follows:
This cup was the first article
sentby the parcels post in the
United States. 1t was forward
ed to Postmaster. Edward M.
Morgan, of New York City, by
Postmaster General Frank H.
Hitchcock, who mailed-it in per-
son at the Washington City Post
Office Immediately after mid
night on the morning of Jan. 1,

When Moneys A Nuisance.

More than half century ago
Uncle Sam was handed three
bags of gold worth about 5000,
and he is still holding them; some
80 years ago he was handed a
bag of valuable silver bullion,
and the owner has left it with
him ever since.
This gold and silver has been
a great nuisance to the account
ing officers of the Federal gov
eminent, who do not know what
to do with it, and Comptroller of
the Treasury DowneY has just
decided it is a problem for Con-
gress.
In the effort to clear the, &C
counts, George E. Roberts, di-
rector of the mint, appealed to
the comptroller to know if he
could cover it into the treasury
to the credit of the men who pre-
sented it. The comptroller holds
that such a course would require
an act of congress.
In 1856 H. J. Peters brought
$127. 81 worth of gold bullion to
the San Francisco mint. In 1853
Joseph Baker presented 1888. 27,
and in 1863, ]. M. Souter handed
over $156. 90. Each was given a
receipt and was told to come back
for a gold certificate.
In 1882 Thomas F. Davis
brought $3.50. 80, the value of the
bullion, to be made into fine sill
yer bars, and has not been seen
since. National Tribune.

A Yard of Milk.

An Irishman, passing a shop
where a notice was displayed saying
that everything was sold by the
yard, thought he would play joke
on the shopman, so he entered the
shop and asked for a yard of milk.
The shopman, not in the least taken
aback, dipped his finger in a bowl of
milk and drew line a yard long
on the counter. Pat, not wishing to
be caught in his own trap, asked the
price. "Sixpence," said the shop
man. "All right, sorr," said Pat.
"Roll it up; I'll take it. .

that certain royal prince "was

what was the time. The courtier

Road Markers.

On some of the Yorkshire moors
white posts are to be seen along
the narrow tracks which serve as
roads. They are called "stoops"
and are something like boundary
posts in appearance. A casual OBJ
server might imagine that they
really did denote county or parish
boundary, but such is not the case.
When snow covers the ground and
the paths are invisible these posts
point out where they lie and so save

Thrilling Incident In the Early Career
of Steeplejack.

Thrilling Incident In the Early Career
of a Steeplejaek.
Bill DOdson is steeplejack. He
has steeplejacked for long time.
He learned the business from his
father, who steeplejacked before
him. And he really likes his dan
gerOus profession.
Don't you ever get scared, Bill?''
he is often asked
Sometimes" replies Bill truth
fully. But not often. | used to
get good and scared, though, when
| was Il youngster and just breaking
in. | remember one of my first
jobs.
q was working with my father
on the roof of big church in
city of some size. 1t WASH big job,
but we were handling it together
just the two of us. The flag pole
needed repairing and there was a
big gilt cross that was loose and
had to be fixed. 1t was some tick
fish job.
CAS- worked away up there in
the air got to thinking. l didn't
become frightened or anything like
that, exactly, but l just began to
reflect on things. considered posi-
bilities and consequences and re-
suits, you know, and that sort of
thing. Then, without thinking to
alarm my father at all, | called out
quite casually:
Say, dad, do you ever feel like
jumping OFF,
81 simply wanted to know, that
was all. But my father was alarm
ed. He took mighty good care not
to let me know it, though.
"'You Just sit there a minute
and hold on tight he said sooth-
ingly. 4 want to see you for a min
ute. III be down in a minute 4.
"Well, sir, he Skinned down the
pole faster than I'd ever seen him
slide before. Then he grabbed up
a coil of rope, which he had lying
across the roof ready for use, and
came over to where | sat, close to
the edge. He never let on what he
wanted until he was close up to me.
'Then he made a spring and
grabbed me- | thought for min
ute we'd both go over. By Jove,
but he was excited after he'd nailed
me. He wrapped that rope around
me and tied me up against the base
of the flag pole until ! couldn't
move.
"Then he went back to the pole
and as he climbed he called back:
"'Now guess you're all right.
Just keep right on looking down.
It's a long way. isn't it? A fall
wouldn't be very nice. Well, you're
going to stay right where you are,
my boy, trussed up like a turkey,
until you don't feel like jumping
off. And if necessary you'll sit there
all night
"By evening was convinced
that would never jump off build

The Theban Sphinx.

The Theban sphinx was said to
be a monster sent by Juno to lay
waste the country around Thebes.
1t had the head and bust of a wom-
an, the body of a dog, the wings of
bird, the paws of lion and hu
man voice. 1t at once became the
terror of the neighborhood and de-
voured all who could not solve the
riddle which it propounded. ''What
animal walks on four legs in the
morning, two at noon and three at
night ?" Oedipus, attracted by the
promise of King Creon of his crown
and his sister in marriage, came to
Thebes and declared that man goes
on all tours in infancy, erect on two
legs when upgrOwn and supports
the infrmities of age with a staff.
On hearing this correct solution the
sphinx dashed her head against
wall, and the land had rest.

Word has been received from Tru-

law course in Valparaiso University,
Valparaiso, Indiana. He is highly
pleased with the school, which is
coming to have an International
reputation for it's success and de-
votion to studies. 1t isn't partiou-
larly strong on athletics or giddy
clothes, but the students work six
days a week at their books, and the
school is perhaps the greatest bar
gain in the way of getting real
education, there is in the United
States. Truman says that one could
not believe how well and yet how
cheaply they care for the students
with room and board. The univer-
sity has its own great farms, on
which are raised most of the prod
ucts that go for the table fare. Tru-'
man will not be home for the Xmas
