PARIS, December 15.-There are
only half dozen or so of his profess
sion in the world. Three of them are
in Paris, but he considers himself the
most expert of all. He can be found
every Thursday from / to o'clock
on the Avenue Marigny, near the
corner of the Champs Elysees, and if
you get his confidence he will tell you
something of his life work.
He is a 'repairer of postage stamps"
What on earth. you ask. is the use of
repairing postage stamps? Well, there
is an old French stamp which was
issued in quantity; only by mistake
the first dozen or so were printed
with the head upside down. The
ordinary stamp of this issue now sells
to collectors for francs The upside
down one sells for 5000.
Do you see the point? Expert col
lectors have various methods of test
ing the genuineness of the stamps
they buy. For instance. place them
in boiling water. 1t requires skill,
indeed, to turn the head upside down
and fasten it so that it will not come
off in boiling water And supreme
skill deserves generous reward.
Changes Shades of Ink.
There are many similar instances.
There is an 1861 American five-cent
stamp which was issued in two shades
of pink. The darker shade brings
l2h francs; the lighter brings $50
francs. There.is an issue of Napoleon
III. of which a few are very slightly
different from the rest. and in the
market that difference represents the
difference between francs and 10000.
Another French issue shows micro
scopic difference of 1910 francs.
My friend is competent to obliterate
these trifling differences, either ON his
own account or to oblige an acquaint-
ance. He has turned many heads up
side down and has altered a number
of colorS. He is especially proud of

ALEXANDRIA. La, January TO-
A sentence of imprisonment in the
parish jail for twenty-four hoars was
imposed against Mayor John F. Foisy
of Alexandria yesterday by Judge
Hundley of the city court, for al
legged contempt of court.
Counsel for the mayor gave notice
they would apply to the state supreme
court for a writ prohibiting the car
rying out of the sentence and the
court announced that reasonable
length Of time would be granted for
that purpose.
Judge Hundley recently cited the
mayor to appear and show cause

of only one dish. All his servants
were peasant soldiers. His home
in Belgrade was plain to the point
of rudeness. When well he always
attended personally to the gardens
and the poultry.
Like most Slavs, he was extreme
ly superstitious. He considered
the number 49,, fatal and would
never begin a project on Friday.
When asked to explain his super
stition. he pointed out that If the
numerals in each of the great years
of Serbia's destiny were counted
up they would total "13" in each
case. The king felt sure he was
going to die in 1921. because the
numerals 1, 9, 2, l, totaled "13."
His prediction came true.

charges have been thoroughly probed

seems TO have been the outcome Of
jealousy and rivalship on the part OF
a local attorney to injure the fair

preliminary meeting Of the inter-

tonight the goal from touchdown
problem was discussed. The contro-
versy conferred around the question
whether the scoring teams should
kick the goals from touchdowns,
as at present. or whether they
should scrimmagc for the addition
al point from the Is yard line. with
the choice of run. forward pass or
place kick.
Walter Camp OF Yale intimated
that the rules will probably stay

come in for more drastic penalties.
