There are other popular men and women

hit throughout the county seasons.

The body proved to be that of a young

Jap gang at the tie treating plant at
Wyeth. The last seen of him alive was
on Tuesday evening, at 8 o'clock, when
he left his home a short distance west of

call, and it is supposed that he was going
to spend the evening at a point about
half a mile east of the station. Chronicle

canaoian troubles
Mr. Ellsworth Plumstead, the charact
er delineator, is one of the few American j
entertainers who have attempted to
amuse Canada. He says he prefers the
United States. Canada is too much like
Great Britain; it takes an ax to make a
joke penetrate, and by the time it has ,
made its way through, Plumstead has 1
finished with "My sister's best feller's
girl's brother," and has started in on
"Robespierre." And it seriously annoys '
him to be laughed at when he is doing
..ri !npM
. ... - ... i
Moreover, Plumstead's "worst", aud
ience was in Canada, lots of it For in
stance, in Harrowsmith, Ontario, the man
who signed the contract ran the hotel and
saloon. He expected to lose something on
the entertainment and so emptied his
bar-room into the lecture hall, making
each toper "dig up" a half dollar, but sup
plying them with a large black bottle for
consolation, They sat by the stove, emp
tied their bottle and then had it filled
again. The entertainer offered 'to pay
their admission from his own pocket if
they would take their clothes and go. But
they stayed, and he had to fight it out.
At Hawksbury, Quebec, the Jail is locat
ed in the front part of the "op'ry," as Mr,
Plumstead found out much to his disgust
He was in the midst of "The Story of a
Mustard Plaster," when the town mar
shal and a "drunk'entered the other es
tablishment and by yells, groans and
swearing easily gained the entire atten
tion of the . audience. Mr. Plumstead
waited a moment and then remarked
that ha would leave the plaster on for a
few moments Until the counter attraction
had finished his "stunt." That remark
saved the evening, but is it any wonder
that Plumstead prefers the United States?

POSTAGE FOR VALENTINES
To insure the prompt delivery of valen
tines the proper postage must be affixed
to them. Every year trouble is caused
the post-office employes and grief comes
to senders of valentines because su meant
postage is not affixed.
When valentines in sealed enclosures
are sent to any point in the United States
2 cents for each half ounce is the required '
postage, which is the ordinary first class
rate. When writing accompanies the
valentines, whether in sealed enclosure or
not 2 cents for each half ounce is re
quired. If valentines are sent in packages
or boxes, and no . writing accompinies
them 1 cent an ounce postage is required;
when sent in envelopes, unsealed, and no
writing accompanies them, they take the
third class rate, or 1 -2 cent an ounce.
