"By exercising your potent influence upon the obliging proprietor," he suggested smiling. There came a dancing light in her eyes. "Do you think I'd make a good Goddess-Outside-the-Machine, to the 'Daily Clarion'?" "Charming! For a two-cent stamp no, for a spray of your arbutus, I'll sell you an editorial sphere of influence." "Generous!" she cried. "What would my duties be?"
I soon spent the fifty cents. For seven months during my first year's stay my only possession was represented by a two-cent stamp. I had had many "good friends" before going to Tuskegee, and debated long as to which of them I should devote the two-cent stamp, trusting to receive some financial aid. Finally I decided on one of these "good friends."
Ham, as all the boys called him, was very much of a dude and always thought himself superior to the regular town boys. He smoked cigarettes and played pool and golf and rode horseback, and did as much "showing off" as he possibly could. As a consequence the majority of the boys detested him. "This isn't a two-cent trip!" cried Shep. "I don't thank you to call it such."
In France a national manifestation took place, which the government disliked but did not think it wise to suppress. The students of Paris marched in a body to the American Legation to express their sympathy. A two-cent subscription was started to strike a massive gold medal; the money was soon raised, but the committee was forced to have the work done in Switzerland.
This envelope bore a red two-cent stamp and was inscribed: ANTONIO TORSIELLI, BOX 470, Lambertville, New Jersey. The letter as later translated in court by the interpreter read as follows: LAMBERTVILLE, July 30, 1905. My dear Brother: Upon receipt of your news I feel very happy to feel you are well, and the same I can assure you from me.
The opinion of a railroad magnate on the subject of a compulsory two-cent rate law would not be considered as unbiased. No disinterested seeker after truth would accept the political conclusions of a newspaper owned by a politician or recognized as the organ of a certain party. In all such cases, self-interest may prompt the witness to make statements not in strict accordance with the truth.
Winnie, you observed a three-cent stamp upon the envelope for lavender was her colour, and two-cent stamps were an atrocious red! So one might feel certain that it Mrs.
This I did, believing that some purchaser would soon discover the letter and mail it. Then I left the shop. On the back of the wrapper I had endorsed the following words: "Mr. Postmaster: This package is unsealed. Nevertheless it is first-class matter. Everything I write is necessarily first class. I have affixed two two-cent stamps.
Do they work it on the same principle as the post-office in that far-off land where you 'cannot buy one postal card because the postmaster cannot make change, but must buy five postal cards or two two-cent stamps and a postal? In other words, does a nickel, the smallest extant coin, serve for five persons for one Sunday or one person for five Sundays? I have often wondered about this.
"Our delegation is instructed to vote for anybody that favours retrenchment, unless it's Webb they won't have Webb if he moves to run the State on the two-cent system. If we'd cast a quarter of a vote for him they'd drum us out of the district. It's all because he voted for that railroad bill in Washington last winter. We hate a railroad as a bull hates a red flag."
