A new aeries of postage stamps about to
be Issued by the Poctofllre department will
bear little resemblance to those now cur
rent. The likeness of Washington will be
the most Important part of the new stamp,
occupying the central oval, which will be
somewhat smaller than In the present de
ign. Above this tn a panel will be the
words, ""United States of America." Drsped
on each side, and occupying about two-
thirds the length, will be two flags forming
background upon which the oval seems to
rest. Below the buet will appear the word
Washington," and in email figures the
dates of his birth and death.
Stamp experts think that this new 2-cent
tamp, with Its superb likeness of Wash
ington, Its draped flags. Its wreaths of
laurel leaves tn the lower corners, and the
general balance of text and artistic effect,
together with the remarkable excellence of
the mechanical work, wilt make this the
nest postage stamp ever produced. Every
Sort has from the start been made to have
this series a type of American achieve
ment In the engraving art.-
Models for four stamps of the new series
have already been completed; the denom
inations of 2, 4, 8 and IS cents. All of the
designs are distinctive and are said to be of
rare artistic merit. It Is noted that the
flags, now brought Into the stamp for the
first time since 1869. were then used on a
denomination which the publlo rarely ever
saw the 30-cent.
A gentleman who represented a large
church organization called at the White
House a little time ago with a number of
his associates for the purpose of paying
their official respects to the president of
the Unltod Slates. He described their re
ception in these words:
"We were ushered Into the president s
private room. Roosevelt was sitting at bis
desk, talking earnestly with two men. We
could see those teeth glistening and his
eyes doing their share of talking, while oc
casionally a fist would go Into the palm of
his other hand with a smack.
"After a time the two men went out,
not looking remarkably happy. Roosevelt
sprang up from his chair and rushed over
to us and grasped each of us cordially by
the hand. 'I am glad to see you,' he said
In his heartiest manner, 'really and truly
glad to see you. It's a welcome relief.
Those men are offlceseekers and couldn't
be made to see Anything but themselves.
Tou gentlemen are at work for something
and somebody else; are doing a good work
of which you are not the sole center.
Therefore I am Indeed glad to see you.' And
he looked it, too."
A large, number of claims for patents on
devices for registering ballots are being
received these days at the United States
Patent Office. In fact, a surprisingly large
number of patents on devices for the auto
matic registering of ballots have been Is
sued, yet the field still seems to be an
open one: Rochester, N. T., was the first
city to use election machines under the
New York state law permitting their em
ployment- This was In 1896, when the city
authorities purchased a sufficient number
for all Its precincts under a contract which
provided that they should not be paid for
until they were demonstrated to be sue
cessful. Owing to a large number of mis
haps the trial was unsatisfactory, and the
machines were returned to the manufac
turers, who made an assignment and closed
out their business. The same year Worces
ter, Mass., tried the experiment with an
other apparatus which Was equally unsuc
cessful.' A third invention was tried at
HorneUsVllle, N; Y., -with ."better results,
o that the complete returns' were tele
graphed by the Associated Press seven mln
utes 'and a half after - the ballots were
closed. This machine haa since been used
generally throughout New York state, and
has been adopted In outside cities and states
as well.
At Irregular Intervals along the corridors
of the state, war and navy building are to
be seen neat door mats. They Ue on the
marble floor In front of the chairs occupied
by messengers. There is a bit of human
history connected with their use. Long ago
the messengers found that the constant
walking or standing on the unyielding stone
floors was extremely hard on the feet and
that It frequently Induced rheumatism, ao
they used strips of carpet on which to rest
their feet while seated. One day the super
lntendent of the building ordered that these
strips Of carpet be removed and they were
taken away, much to the disappointment of
an old negro messenger. in the State de
partment, who declared that bis chronlo
"rheumatls" became worse than ever.
newspaper correspondent heard of the mat
ter and called It to the attention of Secre
tary Hay, who promptly directed that relief
be afforded. This resulted In the advent
of the door mat, now a permanent institu
tion. . ' .

A portrait of the late President McKlnley
and another of President RooBevelt have
been discovered under -peculiar circum
stances In Statuary hall, the capitol. The
hall . undergoing repair, and .omebody
discovered the other day that so-called
concealed" plctures of the presidents haa
been drawn in shadowy outline on the imi
tation marble which forma the walls ot tne
apartment. It has been learned that the
pictures were drawn by Artist Allison, the
painter who some years ago performed curl-
oua feats In concealed picture wora wnuo
engaged In painting the massive pillars of
the pension office la imitation or iiauau
marble.
The portraits Just discovered in Statuary
hall are cleverly concealed to the ordinary
observer by the delicate tracery on the sur-
face of the Imitation marble, but wnen ex
amined closely the pictures of McKlnley
and Roosevelt stand out In startling ais
tlnctness, and can be seen from the opposite
aide, of the room. The portrait oi mc
Klnlev is about eighteen inches in height
and la located above the marble statue of
Roger Williams. It Is an excellent likeness
of the late president. The Roosevelt picture
is on the south side of the hail, to tne
rlaht of the entrance to the bouse corn
dor. It represent, the president as wearing
h wh.ki uniform of a cavalry omcer. it
1a amaller than the portrait of McKlnley,
but the detail is elaborate. Each Iln. in
both pictures serves the double purpose of
forming a part of the portrait and of the
Imitation marble surface ot the wail, i nese
pictures will be pointed out to sightseers.
It is expected that these curious por
traits will attract much attention from
visitors to the capitol.
Recently a Kansas old soldier sent th
following letter to the Pension Department;
"Topeka. Oct, 8. 1902. To the honorable
Penalon Commissioner: Having become
converted ao the belief commonly known as
Christian Science, I herewith voluntarily
surrender all claim to the pension which
I have been drawing for the last twelve
years. My pensloa was allowed on account
of alleged rheumatism and alleged atomach
trouble, contracted during my service In
the civil war, and the mortal error which
made me think I had them also made the
doctors who examined me think the same.
But I am now convinced that there Is no
such thing a. rheumatism or stomach trou
ble; that, by the blessing ot God, I am free
of error, and that I have no right to take
money from the government on account of
cause which doea not exist."

A BONO OK THE SEA. V
James Barton Adams in Denver Post.
A mermaid sat on a rooss-growned rock.
Sing hoi for the belle of the sobbing .cat
She flipped a kls. at a Jabberwock,
And flirted her tall In gleev -'
She flashed a smile at a circling auk - ,
And shook, the spray from her scaly frock
And the sunbeam, bunched In a prise cake
walk On her treesee of filigree.
A merman swam to the rock's damp' base,
- Sing hoi for the dude- of the hkjI sea
wave!
And he .warn around with aquatic, grace
And a word with the maid did crave.
She smiled through the . spume on her
girlish face, -er
brown eye. googted to fit the case,
And she alld on the rock to make a place
For the prince from a coral cave.
One arm encircled her scaly waist,
filng no! for the gull that the fellow had!
And the salt of her Hps he did boldly taste
And eald lt waa not half bad.
He told her a aweeter one never graced
The shell-decked halls of the wild sea
waste
No maid more lovely, no maid, more chaste
. From 'Frisco to Ballydad.
He praised the grace of her shapely tall.
Sing ho! for the flatter's pregnant lips!
Admired the hue of each armoring scale
From her neck to her tall-tin's tijts. .
Her eves were aa liquid an Bum' tile.
Her teeth did the sea-pearl's glinting pale,
Her Hps were as pure as the eacred grail
And their nectar again he sips.
The maiden listened as rnslderis will,
Sing ho! ror tne ears oi tne iruetiui aovn:
Ah! sweet ie the taste of the tempter's pill
when mated with Huitured love!
He tickled her ear with a uea-giill's quill
The gull with the song so sharp and shrill
And his words to the maid were of sweeter
The
trill
Than a melody from above. '
But a handsomer. mermaid swam .near,
Sing hoi for the flirt that butted In!
And the merman dived In the water, clear.
Say. wa'n't It a bloomln" sin!
And ne swam away, with his new fpund
dear,
And the maid on th. rock shed a briny
tear, - ......
And alie dug hi. word, from her o er-fed
ear
With the point of her dorsal fin.
Alone on the moss-growned rock' sat ihe,
Hlng ho! for the Kliil that got the shake!
And he said: "Whst chumples we nier
glrls be! ,
That guy wa. a bloomfn faker
There are Just as good merffliow. In the
