Who First Licked stamps2

Dispute is being waged as 10 tha
earliest postage stamp ticker. Claim
Is put forward for James Chalmers OF
Arborath, Scotland, who submitted
specimens of adhesive postage stamps
t. a select committee of the house OF
commons in 1884. Rowland Hill is also
credited with the invention, having ex-
perimented with glutinous washes In
1897. As Rowland Hill directed tho
British postal arrangements, he was
probably the first man TO lick a genu-
inc post office stamp.

Just think for a moment. Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
been in use for nearly fifty years. 1t is
prepare ed from medicinal plants, by the
utmost pharmaceutical skill, and supe-
rior methods. The ingredients thus
combined in the Compound correct the
conditions which cause such annoying
symptoms as had been troubling Mrs.
Scholz. The Vegetable Compound exer-
cises a restorative influence of the most
desirable character, correcting the trou-

on signboards and that II was not the
place nor the time for too much
mirth.
Then there were pictures of men
and ladies on swings and ropes doing
all sorts Of wonderful stunts high in
the air.
And there was n picture Of n fine
old rhinoceros fellow and of a hip
popotamus and of some bears and OF
some performing seals.
oh. the posters were certainly very
fine.
And then, net long after the posters
were up, the circus was due to ar

II would always arrive early. early
in the morning, but not too early for
Dexter.
ii was TO get up the morning the cir.
Gus was due.
1t was just as though sleep knew
II had no business around boys on
circus morning!
Dexter would go up TO the train
with many of his friends and they'd
watch the circus people unloading and
they'd help, too.
Then down to the fair grounds
they'd go where the tents would be
put up. There would be the big tent
for the big show and the tents for the
side show and for the animals.
There was also a tent where the
circus people were going TO eat their
dinner and supper and another where
they would dress in THEN circus finery.
In the morning there vas a circus
parade, and how splendid it always
was!
For some time II seemed as though
II would never get started and people

been so long q delay that there would

band and the sight Of the gorgeous
ness Of the circus people and the cir.
Gus animals.
In the afternoon the show would be
the thing. In the evening there would
be another show and usually Dexter
could persuade an uncle or a cousin
TO take him TO the evening show.
Dexter knew how others loved the
circus and how many Of them took
him as an excuse to see II them
selves!
But Dexter didn't mind, as long as
he was taken a second time, what
their excuse might be.
And Dexter, who took such a part
In the circus excitement when II came
TO town, led a little pony In a circus
parade one time and from then on
he just knew he would have to go into
the circus when he grew big.
And he did, And not only did he
help TO make the circus 81 fascinat,
