THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER i (Established 1878) oO STAMPS The first U. S. stamp was sold July 1, 1847, in New York city. Think what that event meant to people of Bismarck. Before then it was necessary to go to the ae office to mail a letter, and the postmaster was paid in cash for every letter he posted. Small as it is, the postage stamp has performed a great service, and one of the many kind things that can be said about it is that it was the first commodity to come down in price after the war. MATRIMONY Turkey has passed a law requiring all men above 25 years to marry immediately. The pep- alty for non-compliance is a quarter of ‘the offen- der’s income. France, at its athletic carnival, awarded prizes which can be turned into cash partially when the winner marries, ard partially at the births of his first three children. It appears that matrimonial ideas in France are still somewhat in advance of those in Turkey. MORE WASTE | Every time you look at a cigar box, Mr. Amer- ican Smoker, you should worry! Cigar. boxes represent the appalling—and avoid- able—waste of about $42,635,595 a year. The smokers pay for this wastage. _ In the early days, the internal revenue depart- ment checked cigars by the box unit. To prevent frauds, a law was passed that cigar boxes must be destroyed after use, Now cigars are checked by number or pound: The law, however, still stands. Why? Because nobody has taken the trouble to change it! VIEW POINT Judge Nathan Smith, senator from Connecti- cut, was said to be “‘of the old school in his dress; a remnant of that race of men, the very form and fashion of whom are a passport to deference and respect; his white hair well powdered, a hand- some blue coat with shining gilt buttons; drab kerseymere breeches, and top boots, the clean white tops of which were well contrasted by the elaborate black polish of the legs.” That was when he died in 1835. One doubts if this fashion, worn on the street ‘today, would win either deference or respect. AN INTERESTING. VOLUME The Tribune is in receipt of a volume entitled “Every Day Religion” by Rev. James E. Freeman formerly of Minneapolis, but now of Washington, D.C. This volume is a collection of little sermons written for the Minneapolis Tribune. This from a reviewer sums up the value of the book: “Here is a ‘live’ volume of addresses. The themes have direct bearing on the problems of every day existence in these critical, heart-search- ing days. , The work cannot fail to furnish stim- ulus and enheartenment for all who recognize the| deeper and larger problems of life.” NOBODY’S BUSINESS A strange religious ceremony is staged by the Penitente sect at Abiquiu, New Mexico. © Mrs.} Alida F.

Hayes is said to have saved $44,000 a year dur- ing his term as president. At that rate he had| at the end of his term some $176,000, which, in- vested at'5 per cent, would give him an annual i in- come of $8,800. Garfield was in office-only five months. before! he died, but his successor, Arthur, is believed to have saved $50,000 during his three and a half years in office.. Cleveland was a poor man when he went into the White House, but he retired to: private life with a comfortable estate, due largely to wise investment of his savings. Harrison is said to have spent but about half of his salary. McKinley went to the White House in debt, but during his five and a half years in the presidency he paid his debts and:saved enough money to pro- vide adequately for Mrs. McKinley after his death. | Roosevelt saved money while he was in the! | White House. He received legacies ‘from his| father during his life' time whieh totaled nearly} $200,000, but at his death he. left an estate of] $500,000, over half of which was saved by him during his term as president, or received by. him for his writings. - Taft went to the White House in debt, as did McKinley; in four years he was out of debt and had saved money. Woodrow Wilson had practically nothing before for $150,000, paying for it in cash or its equiva- lent.. He is planning to spend a similar amount on a country home, and he casually refused an offér for $250,000 for an article on the peace confer- ence. He is evidently much better off than the \college’ professor at Princeton, who, 20 years ago, japplied for 2 Carnegie pension. Mrs. Wilson had a small fortune, but no such amount as the pres- But what Mrs, Sims saw in.
