3 STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Whot Was the Toll
 IOf Shermon's March?

GEVENTY-FIVE years after Gen. ~ William Tecumseh Sherman undertook his famous march through the south to break the backbone of the Confederacy, the historians are still arguing over the exact toll of this expedition.
 Sherman estimated the damage in Savannah alone at $l00, ,000, ,000, but his figures appear to be a rough guess. Generally, it is be- lieved that Sherman cost the south $2O0,000,000 in that march which leveled towns and. cities, mopped up military supplies on every hand.
 Sherman set out to make the ] south howl and he did just that. So he made his name a symbol of hate. He wrote to his wife, for instance, at the end of May, 1864. that he knew the country swarmed with thousands "who would shoot me and thank their God they had slain a monster" Yet, Sherman insisted, he had tried to be more kindly disposed to the south than any other general.
 This was war, he reminded his critics, after all. So he had marched with his 6O,000 men to cut off the source of supplies to the Confederates, to make the south feel the real weight of the battle. If that meant destruction, well-history could make the most | of it.
 Sherman is shown above on a U. s. stamp of the series of 1894, Scent lilac, enlarged.

 Nick took long white envelope from his pocket. What are you | goin' to do wid 'em?"
 The Duke walked through the pantry to the kitchen. Nick fol- lowed. He stepped over to the range, picked up an iron litter, raised a stove lid, took the photo graphs out of the envelope ana slowly dropped them in the fire, then watched the snapshots burn, a sardonic expression on his ugly face. He suggested one of those primitive stone carvings in which there is barbariSm and strength, but also something terrifying and relentlessly cruel

 "Nope. It's against de rules oi the house to close so long as any, body's dumb enough to stay. Dis weather sure gives me the creeps Somethin' spooky about it." He jumped as the door of the Dove opened suddenly. Nick poked his head out.
 "What's eatin' you, Tony You're nervous as a cat. Howe you like to treat your friend to a drink?"
 Tony smiled sheepishly. "Old ages got me, guess, boss. How about it, Mike?"
