at midnight Sunday, June 2, was one g
of the great triumphs of peace, and
succumbed only to the demands of t
war, says a London despatch. - Al-
though the price has gone, the prin-
ciple remains, and nothing has been a a
truer index to the match of progress
than the penny stamp. Its first use i
in 1840 for inland postage amounted
almost to a revolution, That date
fixes the "great divide" between the
old postal systems and the new. The
penny stamp, probably more than any
other influence, exercised a power in
holding together the scattered bonds
of kinship and acqutintance through-
out the far flung British. Empire, and i
as a factor in imperial trade it pro-
vided the factilities upon which mod-
ern trading depends.
Many years ago King Edward, then
Prince of Wales, said he looked for-
ward with hope to the day when every
English speaking man, in whatever
part of the world he might be, should
be regarded as being as much an Eng-
lishman, so far as the penny post was
concerned, as if he lived in Kent or
Sussex. This was spoken before
even inland postage carried all the
benefits that there were supposed to
be associated with it. It was not
until the Diamond Jubilee year of
Queen Victoria that the last step was
taken to make inland penny postage
fully adequate to the dennands of the
community.
Might Have Been Universal
This minor postal concession had to
satisfy for the moment the advocates
of imperial penny postage, who were
then pressing their claim that the ad-
option of their'scheme in jubilee Year
would fittingly mark the sixtieth an-
niversary of Queen Victoria's acces-
sion. The larger boon was delayed
until 1898, and the credit of its intro-
duction then undobutedly belongs to
Joseph Chamberlain.
But for the outbreak of the war uni-
versal penny postage, which was on
its way, might have been an addition•
al achievement by now. The case of
the United Stites and Britain finds
parallels in similar arrangements be-
tween China and Japan and between
Germany and Austria.
In the time of Thomas Withel-ings,
who opened the royal posts to the
public in the reign of Charles I., the
charge for a single sheet letter con-
veyed within a distance of eighty
miles was twopence. A double sheet
cost fourpence, and if charged by
weight the price was eightpenco per
ounce. Single street letters were
carried up to 140 miles for fourpence,
while a letter could be sent any dis-
tance in England for sixpence and to
Scotland for eighepence.

the first time since her marriage. The
soup and fish she served for dinner
were quite all right, but the pudding
—well, everyone fought with It man-
fully until, fearful • of .bending the
young wife's new forkss.,.they desisted.
Mrs. Nupitials was heartbroken.
"Put that pudding out of my s'1g11ti"
she said to the little skivvy. "Give it

A few minutes later the little

If You Think—.
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If, you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you
can't, '
It's almost a cinch you v.tin't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will—
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed,, you
are,
You've got to think high to rise;
You've got to be sure of yourself be-
fore
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins,
Is the man who thinks he can.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn or
callus so It lifts out
- without pain. .
o--o--o—o—o—o--o—o—o�—o—o—o
Let folks step on your feet hem -
after; wear shoes a size smaller if you
like, for corns will never again send
electric sparks of pain through you,
according to this Cincinnati authmority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
liev0s soreness, and soon the entire
corgi, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at Once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even Irri1itting the slrrrounding tissue,
A. small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from one's foot.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.
Success in gardening depends upon
keeping soil well stirred at all tines.
Moisture that feeds the plants is the
capillary moisture .which comes up
from below. In oder that plants
may obtain most of this moisture, it
is necessary to loosen the surface
thoroughly after each rain so that it
cannot escape by evaporation.
