Precanceled stamps are to be sold

General Burleson. By the operation
of this order 1t is expected that a
saving of approximately 100000 per

ment
Precanceled stamps are those which
bear the name of the post office at
which matter bearing them is mailed.
The name appears between two heavy
black lines. The canceling is done
by means of special machine, and
by the use of such stamps it becomes
unnecessary to pass each piece of
mail through the canceling machines.
To cancel the number of stamps
now used each year in this manner.
il is stated will cost about $4,000,
while IL the stamps are not Cancelled

GREENBAcKS IN FLIGHT.

At the height of the July storm

printing dropped 500 5000 bills on his
desk and tugged at window to close
it. He succeeded all right, but the
aforesaid 500 bills went sailing across
the room and through another win

The greenbacks could be seen aero
planning in all directions. AS soon as
the fury of the storm spent itself
searching party was instituted to re-
cover as many of the bills as possi-
BILE.
Most of them were found. some
near the Potomac river. The rest were
given up as lost, but spread of the
tale that $1,000 had been strewn along
the mall and river front soon brought
crowds of messenger boys and not a
few tramps searching for the golden
harvest. Many more were recovered
in this manner, but failed to reach
the bureau again.
When the messengers and tramps
tried to spend their wealth they found
that the bills were worthless. They
did not bear the signature OF the
treasurer of the United States and
the register of the treasury. The Sc
rial numbers were also lacking.

U. S. LEADS THE WORLD.

There are now, according to inter
state commerce commission experts.
over 639 900 miles of railway on the
globe, of which 451 900 miles are op-
Grated by private companies and the
rest by states or nations.
The mileage, by leading countries,
is: United States, 241,000; Germany.
3S,O0O Russia, in Europe, $4,000; Brit
ish India, $4,000; France, 10000; Aus
tria-Hungary, $4,000; Great Britain.
1000; Canada. 25,OOO Mexico, $4,000;
Brazil, 10000
The total by continents is: North
and South America, $4,000; Europe,
2O7.OO0; Asia, $4,000; Africa, $4,000;
Australasia 10000. OF the European
total 1O7, 900 miles are state-owned In
the Americas 10000 miles are state
owned, of which LOO are in Canada,
the balance in South America. In Asia
the state-owned roads total $1,000
miles; in Africa, $4,000 miles; in Aus
tralasia, $4,000 miles.
In France in less than so years the
concessions to the companies will ex-
pire and the great railway systems
will become state property. The Mex
lean government is said to hold a
controlling interest in the 5000 miles
of the National railways of Mexico.

SAVED HIS BACON.

A very funny thing happened In
the United States senate the other
day. The vice-president was not able
to be present, and knowing this, had
informed Senator Clark of Arkansas
that he had appointed him president
pro tenn. of the senate, and that he
would have to preside. Senator Clark
forgot all about this, and, needing
shave, went into the barber shop to
get it. His face was well lathered and
one side shaven when the Arkansas
senator happened to remember his
commission to preside. The clock be-
gan to strike the noon hour Just as
he thought about it. With bound
he was out of the barber's chair and
had rubbed the lather off his face with
the towel that was about his neck. He
rushed up the stairs witout waiting
for the elevator, and got in just in
time to whack the little ivory cube
and call the senate to order at the
last stroke of -, which one might
call "a close shave" In all probabil-
ity, the glass medallion roof of the
United States senate chamber would
have fallen in if the IL strokes had
echoed through that cavern of brains
and the ivory cube had not battered
the call to order Such a thing never
has happened, 80, of course, there is
no precedent by which one might go
into the matter, but Senator Clark
saved his bacon just the same.

Then the captain went into a hurried
consultation with his watch.
Meantime. Kent was outside in the
hall, shifting from one foot to the 9TH

that maybe the present watch had
never seen him before and was look

rectory.
At last quiet, watchful, pleasant

daily asked Kent to take seat in

anything about the mistake at the
door, and to this day the watch

ELEANOR WILSON ACTS TO PROTECT BIRDS

list. Quercus is sent away by Shy, and
the poet and naturalist are discussing
the heart of nature when Shy suggests
that it would be possible for man to
comprehend the speech of birds If it
were not for Stark. the plume hunter.
The two summon Tacita, a dryad.
for advice, and she invokes Ornis, the
spirit of birds, played by Miss Wilson.
Tacita is treading a dance of invoca-
ton when gunshots are heard and a
wounded bird falls to the ground.
Tacita and Ornis falls.
Ornis is garbed as a bird; she is
wounded, but has recovered and is ad-
dressing Shy and Alwyn when Stark.
with barking dogs, bursts in. He be-
comes insolent when he is upbraided
for pursuing his game into the bird
sanctuary.
Alwyn and Shy are about to let him
depart, cursing. when Alwyn decides
on way to change Stark's nature.
He summons Tacita, who begins to
weave about Stark dance of revela-
ton.
Stark follows Tacita to Ornis and
recognizes her as the bird spirit for
the first time, He is dazzled by her
beauty. and Ornis makes an appeal
to him. Stark is overcome by re-
morse and joins the poet and natural
list in a compact to struggle together
for the freedom OF birds.

guess at the department is that "dia-

The precanceled stamps are to be
valued for postage for any point only
when matter bearing them is mailed
at the office of pronunciation; that
is, stamps precanceled at Washington
will not be good on any matter mailed
outside the delivery limits of Wash
ington.
Formerly the use of such stamps
was not permitted unless at least 1000
were sold at one time, to be used on
pieces of mail identical in size and
class. Postmaster General Burleson's
order removes these restrictions, and
is considered another great step for
ward toward making the postal serv'
