Curious Way in Which the Philatelic Treasures Were Discovered. We'ls, Fargo & Co. Recovered Them Through tbhe Enthusiasm of a Stamp-Collector. The Golden Gate Park Memorial Museum is about to be presented with an addition to its collection that is as unique s story is interesting. The donation consists of the dies from which the stamps of the famous Pony | Express, the first mail service across the continent, were printed, which have lain in the establishment of alocal lithograph- ing house since the time when the express was first started in the early fifties. Some time ago a young relative of Joseph Britton of the firm of Britton & Rey contracted the philatelic fever, and having heard that the lithographers had prepared the plates and printed the stamps, asked his uncle whether it was not possible that some of the old stamps were lving about among the samples of the firra’s early work. These stamps are now very valuable, some of them, particularly the $4 issue, betng worth §8, and a full set, including $4, $2, §1, 25-cent and 10.cent issues, being worih $15 or more. Mr. Britton could not find any of the old stamps because they had all been turned over to Wells, Fargo & Co. at the time the express was discon- tinued, but he found the plates and de- cided 10 print 3 new lot for bis nephew. He calied ac Wells, Fargo & Co.’s office to ascertain thd proper colors, which in the originals were red, green, blue, black and chocolate, and by somc chance was shown a spurious lot that had come into the possession of the company at a time when some one had counterfieited the stamps. The colors were prepared, the plates tonched up to give the stamps a smart appearance and a large number of sets struck off. ‘With visions of vastly advantazeous trades tioating before his eyes the nephew took the stamps Lo various dealers and tried to ‘‘swap”’ them for others that he needed to fill out his collection. The practical eyes of the philatelic experts at once detected the facts that the colors were a little off, the paper different than the original and the lines changed and more distinct in some portions than they should have been. No trades were mads, but the m aused so much comment among the philatelists that the story came to the earsol Wells, Fargo & Co., who owned the plates, Ihoufih thev had been in the possession of Britton & Rey made a demand for the plates and they were turned over by the lithographers. Being of no further use to the express company it was decided to present them to the museum as a souvenir of the days when brave and daring men faced the dangers of Indians and biizzards to carry the news of the argonauts and their or- tunes in the gold fields to waiting friends across the plains and mountains. There was nothing out of the way in printing the stamps, as they have long since ceased to be of any valie except as philatetic curios, and Mr. Britton says that he did not think that there would be the slightest comment on the matter or he would not have consented to print the siamps. thLera are ')nlybnma different tones in the human voice, but there are 17,592,186, 044,415 different sounds. 1 NEW TO-DAY. The old story of Prometheus is a parable, an allegory. Prometheus was on terms of intimacy with the gods. From them he stole fire, and gave it to men. For this sin he was bound to the rocks of Mount Cau- casus, and vultures were set upon him. They only ate his liver. This grew again as fast as it was pecked away. Are his suf- ferings to be imagined? Ves, and realized. Take a modern interpretation of the par- able. There is no cooking without fire. In cooking and eating the mischief lies. The stomach is overtasked, the bowels become clogged, they cannot dispose of the food that is given them. The impurities back n}; on the liver. Then come the vultures. The sufferings from an outside, visible hurt, are a mere pin-scratch to the torments of a diseased liver. But, moderns are ahead of the ancients. There is a sequel to the old story. Dr. Pierce is the author. His “Golden Med- ical Discovery” is more than equal to the vultures of dyspepsia and its kindred dis- eases. Every atom of the ‘ Discovery” is an active agent against disease. It flies ke a ferret, wherever it is sent. It is as sure as the needle of the compass. There is no more need of suffering from dyspepsia than there is of hanging one’s self’ Mr. W. ROGERS, of 507 Grayson St., Louistille, Ky. has this to say for himself and the " Golden edical Discovery”': *‘Iwas a dyspeptic. Ihad not had a comfortabie night in six years. T have taken three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med. ical Discovery. Iam now fifty years old. I feel thirty years younger.” Yours truly. Send 21 cents in one-cent stamps to Dr. R. V. erce, Buffalo, N. Y., and get Dr. Pierce's Med- dviser.
