The Three Musketeers.

NE JAURGAIN, the historian, has com
- pleted an investigation to discover
just how much historical truth and how
much romance there is in Dumas famous
novel. The Three Musketeers''
The result of the historians researches
shows that the real name Of Dumas
hero. D'Artagnan, was Charles de BATE
Castelmore. and that he was of noble
Basque descent. He was born in 1929 at
Iupiao. His assumed name was dcrive!
d'Artagnan.
When he was seventeen years old he
set out for Paris to seek adventure
mounted on a miserable nag, and in his
doublet pocket he carried a letter of in

dant of Louis NIII's musketry guard The
boy fell among thieves. but luckily on
his arrival in Paris he found In the
musketeer commandments antechamber
his fellow country man, Porthos, who gave
him warm welcome.
Porthos' real name was Isaac de Portau
of Pau, in the PyrCnces. He was man
of humble birth, and no record of any
descendants can be traced. Otherwise it
was with Athos. or to give him his
proper name, Armand de Sillegue. who
was killed in duel. The Sillegue family
still exists and has given France many

arms. was never a bishop, nor a duke,
nor a general of the Jesuits. He was

near Cloron. He joined De Troisville' S
musketeer guard at the same time as
d'Artagnan. but beyond the fact that he
married lady of the house of Bearn-
Bonasse little is known of him.
D'Artagnan, on the other hand. made
a brilliant career. On the very day of
his enlistment he with his three COM
panions fought and defeated four of Car
dinal Richelieu'S hirelings, whereupon
Louis NH gave the boy special audi
ence and presented him with fifty ducats

AN ORDER IN THE PHILIPPINES
That Is Significant of the New Gov.
ernor Generals Point of View.

From the Renacimfento. Manila.
NO contributions shall be levied upon
people Of the various provinces of the
Philippines for the purpose of entertain
ing the governor general or any other per-
son in the government service by persons
and employees of the government is the
subject Of executive order No. 1os, issued
by Gov. Gen. Harrison on December s.
The order states that 1t has been his ex-
perience that for the purpose OF entertain
ing him. on his official visits to the several
provinces, contributions are levied. which
constitute an added burden on the people
of the Philippines. The order follows:
Executive order No. 20. July %. 1907.
prohibits taking so-called voluntary con-
trihutions" for public or semi-public pur-
poses by public officers and employees.
Officers and employees Of the govern
menr should also discourage and in no
way participate in the practice of private
citizens assessing and collecting contri-
buttons for the entertainment and recep-
ton OF public officials on visits to prov
inces or other localities. While the spirit
Of hospitality intended on such occasions
is commendable. still burdens are some
times imposed upon the local community

Forty Million Stamps
Manufactured Each Day

9 OMETHING of the prosperity OF
- country and the standard of its in
telligeRce may be gaused by the neces-
sary issuance of its postage stamps.
Through the efforts of 900 men and won-
en- employed for this purpose by the bu-
reau of engraving and printing 100000
stamps are each day manufactured,
counted and put up in packages ready for
shipment to the Go.t0o post offices through
out the United States. During the last
fiscal year {: total value of S1SI,504.5 BOO 20
was realized from this source by the gov
eminent; 5s6li7 pounds OF ink were re-
CURED for printing such an output. and
the paper used came from leo spruce
trees ground TO a pulp These trees We're
cut on the mountains of North Carolina,
and had they been converted into lumber
fifty well appointed bungalows might
have been built of them
When it is determined to issue a new
stamp the matter is discussed by the Of
ficials having charge of the several
| branches of the service involved. and the
conclusions reached are embodied in a
model MADE by trained designer and
| submitted for criticism to the officers first
considering the subject. The model is
| then modified in accordance with any
criticism agreed upon, and finally ap-
proved by the Postmaster General. The
| original engraving is never printed from
except to make what Is known as die
| proofs.
! The approved design is placed in the
hands of the engravers, who cut 1t upon
d small piece of annealcd steel. Aftel

| it is heated red hot in cyanide of potas-
stun and hardened by sudden dipping
into oil and water This single engraved
subject is duplicated 400 times upon the
large plates that the stamps are printed
| from by means of a transfer process. a
method of reproducing engraving that
was devised many years ago by jacob
| Perkins. an American, who also orig
mated the present method of duplicating
banknotes.
| The gum on the back of postage stamps
| is made by scientifically roasting the
highest grade of tapioca starch such as is
used for making pudding II the 4Jo, l,t

of stamps by the government had been
| converted instead into pudding it would

and due to such friendly entertainments
the public official on tour of inspection
is largely prevented from accomplishing
the objectof his trip
THE governor general takes this oppor-
tunity of stating that he has Just
learned of very large contributions
amounting to many thousands pesos pc
ing solicited for his entertainment In vari-
Gus provinces, and collected from an
classes of people Such an expenditure
of money is obviously, though intended
in the most courteous and hospitahie
spirit. a great hardship upon the people,
and at time when the government u
self is bending every effort toward drastic
economy such expenditures are inadVls-
able. Therefore, in order to assist IN
carrying out this executive order. the
governor general has decided that he VIII
deny. himself the pleasure of any more
prearranged official visits to the prov
inces ut least for the next year. During
that year, however the governor general
expects to visit each one of the provinces.
but will do SO informally and upon very
short notice. so that no undue financial
expense of entertaining may be incurred
by the people,

The Worn Nickel.

From the Omaha Bee.
Did you ever stand on the rear of
street car and listen to wrangle be-
tween 4 passenger and conductor over a
worn nickel? Did you ever think of the
trials and tyibulations this little coin
causes the man whose business 1t is to
collect fares for the corporation? Why is
he SO captious about the looks OF q
nickelo Sometimes he refuses to take
one. even though it might pass at a bank.
Well, the answer is easy enough. In the
first place, bank tellers are expert in
money, and know defective coin as soon
as they see it. and YOU never think of dis
putting the question with them. The con-
ductor's authority in numlsnatics does
not pass current. hence his woes multi
ply with the number of supposedly bad
coins he handles. But his vigilance Is
whetted by the fact that the company
holds him responsible for the integrity of

From the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The vexed, old and ever new question
of tipping is raised once more by two in
teresting announcements. In New York
q popular restaurant has put up these
related signs: minimum Wage for
Women. SIC Per Week"-"No Tipping,
Please" The patrons of the place must
feel that business is meant. Many tip
from sympathy. and a few from vanity.
Where a fair wage is paid there is no
more reason for tipping waiter than
for tipping sa1eswoman or clerk. Per-
haps the tipless restaurant charges lit

such system to the nuisance of tipping.

ility and snobbery it breeds?
The other item is Chicago one. The
Illinois Athletic Club. with the approval
of the members. rescinded its antt-tpplng
rule because it could not be strictly en-
forced and favoritism resulted. But the
club has not revived the tp-as-you-please
system. To each food check cents Is
added. and the proceeds are distributed
among the walters. To this modified
scheme there Is no serious objection. 1t

Who Paid the Piper?

Beverly was only eight, but what he
lacked in years he made up for by the
extent of his frugality. Where other
boys would squander a whole nickel on
such foolishness as ice-cream soda or pop
Beverly would lay that amount away for
future lending to impecunious uncles at
a hundred per cent.
BeverIys mother was not in the class

There were countless courses. soup,
fish, meat and vegetables with wines.
When turkey was brought in by the i'm
posing waiter Beveriy's eyes began to
bulge and a worried expression crept
over his little face.
1t was evidently a case where he felt
that it was time to say II should worry"
truthfully. His economical soul was fiut-
tering aghast at the cost and he was
too young to understand that host
meets the expense of such a meal for
invited guests.
At last came the GROWING dish. a huge
bowl of chocolate ice cream. This was
too much for the lads New England
soul. Rising in his seat. he leaned over
to his mother anNiously and shouted in
stage whisper. Mother, mother, who S
going to pay for this?''
The Judge looked as if he would burst,
hut catching the amused laugh of the
mother. he broke out in a laugh in which
every one but Beverly joined-it was no
| laughing matter with him.
