STAMPS OF YOUNG EUROPE.

Some extraordinary stamps are
being issued by the newly born states
of Europe. Most Of the designs sym
bolize their recently found freedom.
The stamps Of Czecho- Sloyakia
bear the picture of a lion tearing
off the letters Of slavery, while those
Of Jugo-Slayia have that of a man
smashing the chains that bind him.
In the background dawn is breaking.
Lettonia, to celebrate its liberia
ton from the bolsheviki, has issued
a miniature masterpiece Of special
design. In the center two female
figures are seen embracing, while in
the foreground a skull and with
cred bush lie rotting, The walls Of
Riga loom up in the distance and
the whole scene is Illuminated by
the aurora borealis.-LOndon Chron-
icle.

NAUTICAL KNOWLEDGE.

Charles had first met his United
States navy cousin but a few weeks
before a Christmas box arrived from
the latter, Being doubtful as to the
three-year-old's recollection of the
donor, his mother asked him if he
remembered his cousin, Ben, to
which the young Yankee, wise in the
knowledge of at least one ship, and
recalling the naval uniform, replied;
eyes, mother; did he come over in
the May1ower?'

W. B. Trites, the Philadelphia
novelist, was praising the London
bobby or policeman.
"lhe bobby is always tall and
strong and straight" he said, with
a pink and white complexion and
the politest, gentlest manner in the
world.
"What is the difference if the
bObby's ideas as to history and geog-
raphy and current events are often
a little confused? That only makes
him the more attractive.

young shah Of Persia's visit to King
George. One afternoon in Picca-
dilly | heard a roll Of drums and a
fanfare Of trumpets, and a splendid
troop Of household cavalry dashed
into view. They escorted several
state coaches.
81 turned to a gigantic young
bobby and asked:
"'Ohiser, who are they making all
this to-do for?'
The bobby touched his hat and an
swered politely:
"'For the king Of Shah, | believe,

And the curious part of it all is that
these people really believe they love
the woman they are numbering, and
when they have got in their deadly
work and she lies at rest t,last in her
coffin, they will weep above her and
say, self-righteCusly, that thank Good
ness, they cave all the affection and
appreciation she craved.
And they would be furious II you
told them that none of them ever
really truly loved her, that all they
ever loved was themselves, and that
their feeling for the woman was meas
ured in terms of their own selfishness
and what she did to make life pleas
ant for them, but you would tell them
the truth, nevertheless.
If the mother. loved her daughter
she would spare her all the extra work
she puts on her, and her whines of
self-pity for things no human being
can help. If the husband loved his
| wife, he would deny himself the COM
| fort of her presence for the sake of
saving her life. II the children loved
their mother, the girls would make
their own clothes rather than see her
/ tired hands laboring over them. and
the boys save her every possible step
| by keeping their own things in order
] as they do in camp.
In reality, words are no test of love
And they are pretty poor and cheap

does not seek its own, but the happi-
ness of another.

HOW MONEY WORKS.

It has been estimated that il the
Indian who sold the site of New York
city for $24 had placed the money at
compound interest until this time he
would have a sum sufficient to buy it
back with all the improvements.
A more modern and really tangible
Illustration OF how the dollar works
is afforded by the New York World in
an article relating to a bequest made
by Benjamin Franklin, the great
teacher of thrift.
In 1871 he queathed $1,000 to the
commonwealth of Massachusetts and
to the city of Boston as 4 mark of his
appreciation for having appointed him
as agent in England at the Handsome
salary of $4,000" And to make his
bequest really valuable, Franklin pro-
vided in his will that this 1000
should be put out at per cent interest
for 100 years; that at the end of that
time s1-131 of the fund accumulated
should again be put out at interest for
another hundred years and then. the
fund should be divided one-foArth to
Boston and three-fourths to the state.
At the end of the first hundred
years that $1,000 had grown to $751;
3s3.62. Il was then divided in accord
ance with the viii; $329. S00.4S was
set aside for public work" and s1O2.-
oS5.I5 was started on its course of
earning interest for another hundred
years. That was in 1891. On Janu-
airy 1, 1918, this sum had grown to
$267. and at this rate of increase
the fund should amount to at least
100000 when the second period is
completed. and may be considerably
more.
Any young person today can provide
amply for his declining years by in
vesting a small sum at compound in
terest and permitting it to remain un-
disturbed.

them TO ask for more money. They

.tributors to the party campaign funds
sides. the biggest cheek to the one
most likely to win. During the cam
padgns OF 1895 and 1900, however. the
eastern business and corporate inter-
ests were hostile to Mr.. Bryan and in
the first campaign his fund came en-
tirely from the west. The next time
he ran, the Democrats tried the end
less chain system. So confident were
the friends of Mr.. Bryan after 1896
that he could be named again in 1900
that they started to raise money this
way as carly as 1897 1t was by can
wasting country districts for subscrip-
lions of a dollar a month. The sum
raised by this method, however. was
entirely inadequate The candidacy
of Mr.. Cleveland, on the other hand,
always attracted heavy contributors.
When he became the nominee of his
party in 1892. tbs fund at the disposal
of the Democrats was very large,
much of it being raised by William c..
Whitney. Benjamin Harrison, on the
contrary, was not so popular with the
moneyed men.
The raising of funds is usually dele
gated to more than one man in the
party. While the treasurer of the ma
tional committee is usually supposed
to do the collecting, he is never with
out assistants. Levi P. Morton was
we'll known as a collector of campaign
funds. His system was to make a list
of those on whom he intended to call
with the amount he expected them to
contribute set opposite their names.
They usually responded favorably.
Marshall Jewell also had a reputation
as Republican collector, having
raised as much as $4,000 in Boston
in a single day. During the tariff
fight in 1888, John Wanamaker acted
for the Republicans in Pennsylvania,
and got together nearly half a million
dollars. Stephen B. Elkins was also
a famous collector. The late Roswell

of New York, gathered many cam
paign funds for the Democrats.

Apparently the only way to prevent
Socialists from being elected to legis-
Iative bodies is to outvote their sup
porters at the polls. 1t has been dem
onstrated that it does no good to expel
them for they come right back. 1t
has been tried on Berger Of Wiseon-
sin, and new the Socialists who were
turned out of the New York legisla-
ture have been reelected, altho the
Republicans and Democrats combined
against them. If these men be not
good enough citizens to hold office
when duly elected. they should be
deported; otherwise they are entitled
to their seats. 1t is inconsistent with
our system of government to deprive
any large body of loyal citizens of
representation. 1t is what Republic
cans complain of in the south. The
right to vote should carry with 1t the
right to hold office.
