Of Interest To
Our Readers
Several times we have published the \
advertisement of Mayor II. ?\ B.ooksj
of Marshall. Michigan, regarding old ;
stamps. We understand that many |
have benefited themselves financial-i
ly through their transactions with
him, and no doubt many others have j
old envelopes of value which he will'
be glad to purchase. Mr. Hroolc hasj
collected old stamps for many years j
and is thoroughly famalinr with all I
issues. Those he especially wants j
are Confederate or U. S.. but he al-1
so buys foreign stumps provided they
are old issues, used before 1865. I
It is explained to us that very few
of the I'. S. stamps used after 1S65
are ol value unles the postmark;:
unusual in color or design. Theie-'
fore, no enveh pes should be sent
which were mailed after Oi l
folded leteis or envelopes used before
185D are of value only when
they bear some kind of adhesive postage
stamps. They only envelopes
without stamps which might have j
value are some of those used in the
South during the year 1861, before
Confederate stamps were available.
Loose stamps Mr. Brooks does not
buy, except certain varieties of the
Confcdtrate issues. Stamps should ;
never be cut off as they are wortM j
mure un me original envelopes. The J
reason for this is that collectors to- j
day are interested in po tmarks as
well as stamps. Revenue stamps a e
not wanted, lie does not I uy coins.
Confederate money, old newspapers, j
old documents or other relics. Nothing
hut the old envelopes inteie;?
him. The explanation made l>ecoause
Mr. Iltooks write; that
though he has tried to make .hi?
plain in his advert: -:uv. m.r.y p?>.?- j
pie still write regarding miscelia: ? ,
OUs articles which he does not collect.
Some of our rt oiers have also i
sent envelopes on wi.i h they liavt
v. lit.i ii date*. l"h: not r,v--s:.r> i
and sometimes pmN- their upearaiice
after such date have hen eraced.!
Old marks cannot he helped, but
nothing should added. Send envelopes
just a: "ii Jmd them. The j
value of an ur.ehye is determined
hy the variety of the stamp or postmark
and not the exact yea.- mail -1
Many of th - oar y postmark:-- did not
include the year date, hut that makes
no difference in value.
There are > many diferent varieties
of these old stamps that their
values cannot he <;> :ermined hy written
descriptions. They must he seen
in.i examine*!. .Many winch appear
to he alike show slight differences
when e\..mined whh a magnifying
i lie common tvi ? s are wanted
as well as the rare ones. Your
nveloi cs, how. ver, nuiv be quit?
saleable and therefore hould be son*
cither by registered or insuted mail.
Mr. Krooks agrees to refan<l the postage
if the envelopes are not purchased.
Such envelopes, if in quantity.
should he carefully packed in a
cardboard box and well wrapped to
make sure the package will tract I
safely.
We gladly publish this for th?
tienetit of those who have envelopes
stated away which were mailed during
or before the Civil War. Extra
money is always welcome. Our
churches need it ar.d many individuals
are sorely in need of sucji
help. We would not advocate the
selling of family letters. Private letters
may he kept, as only the envelopes
ate of value to -Mr. Brooks. In
the case of the old-fashioned folded
letters bearing stamps, the entire
letter would of course have to lnpartel
with as the letter itself constitutes
the "envelope."
Mr. Brooks is so well an.i . \orably
known to the publish f the
Scout that we have no hes. ation in
recommending him to our readers
as worthy of the fullest confidence.
He will report promptly the value of
any envelpoes sent. You are not
oblidged to sell unless his offer is
entire satisfactory. In the event the
envelopes arc not purchased, he will
return them to you in good order.
If you haven't any old envelopes, you
will do others a favor by showing,
them this notice. Packages and let-J
ters should he addressed to Harold !

Lugging That Big Block Behind Him ani
MRS. MERTON had been listen-1

Man Nogley. who hud he'-n
telling tier of the strange "homing" j
rrviis ??f iloiis. She was os|?ocinlly In j
terisjoil hcciiUKc her beloved dog. Reynard,
had Jusr found Ids way haek to I
his mistress' Vine street house from ;
the other end of the city.
No-ley finished his aecount of this ,
odd instinct hy hinting; at a story
whlcii. he told her, "sounds like a He,
hut isn't " This piqued her eurioslty,
!ind she begged the garrulous old dog- |
man to ted It r the story.
"It happened down South." be heir.:tl.
"1 won't tell you the people's
real names, for at least one of them
hasn't overmuch reason to be proud
of Ids sluice hi the things that hap
pened. So I'll use fake names; I lit
the sir r\ it-elf true. I know It's
true, hoeause I was working in the
town where it happened, and I was tt
near neighbor of one of the men and
I knew them both very well.
"A matt whom we'll cull Miller had .
a collie named Stamp: a big. wise
dog. thui looked like a throwback t
some ancestral wolf and bad all the !
hrnfn and instltiet of the best type
of collie. Miller wasn't a dogman. i
He and Scaiup didn't get on very well
together, lie wasn't the sort of man
that dogs take to or that take to dogs.
It wasn't his fault. Some folks are
horn that way.
"A friend of his, named Clrogg, was i
calling at his house one day when an :
automobile ran over Scamp In front j
ojkthe dooryard and broke Ids left leg j
In two places. Miller took one look i
at Ids suffering ?-?i!l!c. Then lie start- I
ed f??r another room.
"(\rogg was Ir'iin'ng over Scamp. ox- '

Miller where he wim (toinjr.

"S'-aillp looked up Info Hrecc's face j
without a whimper, hut In a queer.)
dumb appeal, as If he understood what !
his master was goinc to <|o and as If !
he was hepclne tJrejnt to save hint. I
That look went richt to Orel's heart, j
He had spent a eouple of years in n ;
niedieal school nn<| he was a natural- !
horn surgeon, even though he was In
another I ttsiness then.
" -filve nie a ehanee to set the let:," i
he said: 'I believe I can ;.< It. I've J
set worse fractures than this. Send
out and get some plaster of purls and
some haudatfes, and I'll make a splint
while you're waiting for them/
"He set Scamp's lejc so that the doc
was cured. As scion as Scamp was .
allowed out of the house while he
si ill had the pluster cast on Ids lec? '
he left home and went llmpinc across :
town, for a mile or more. When flrece
(tot hack from work that afternoon.
the?e was Scamp curled up. plaster
cast and all. on 'he iJrecc doorstep.
"How did he find his way there?
That's the mystery. Hut It seems
Miller had stopped once for a chat
with flrecit- two months earlier while
he and Scamp were out for a walk
one Sunday. Hut think of Scamp's
brain, in remember up where firejrjt
lived ' And think of his sense of pratltude
in hustling on three lees to the
man who had suved him ! He accepted
fJregjr as a master and a sort of
