Dear John: I have never met you personally, but I've heard my brother, Teddy, speak of you so often that you really seem to be one of the family. Dear John, will you please pardon the liberty I take in grabbing a two-cent stamp and jumping so unceremoniously at one who is, after all, a perfect stranger?
The disease must be hereditary possibly from my grandfather, who was a village postmaster. He used to get a lot of letters he never answered. Well, here's one I am going to answer. It's a bit of literature that reached me a day or two ago, chaperoned by a two-cent stamp and a hunk of pale green sealing-wax. Philadelphia, Lately.
If Margaret died before she was of age, the relative was to keep it, and if she should marry before she was of age, the relative was to keep it, too. But, livin' to eighteen' and marryin' afterwards, it was all to be Margaret's, and the relative wasn't to have as much as a two-cent stamp with the mucilage licked off. "This relative was a sweet-faced lady with a large mole on her right cheek.
This was registering their names. A daily newspaper called Among the Clouds is published here, and every person who gets his name on the register in time can see it in print before the train goes. When the train descends, every passenger has one of these two-cent certificates of his exploit.
Thus did he aspire to brilliantly-colored celluloid for the crowning jewel of the St. Valentine's sacrifice. He handed the assortment to Miss Thomas with a sheepish grin. "Envelopes for them, too. How much?" She counted them with gaunt, practiced fingers. "Sixteen penny ones, three two-centers, and one at five. Do you want one or two-cent envelopes?"
"I do say, and that's enough. So just go to work and fix up this Convent scheme without future notice. And hark here, let me see for the future if a man can't have peace from these two-cent trifles for his important business." My mother was crushed.
Katy walked as fast as her little feet would carry her, till she came to a court leading out of Essex Street. The bells were ringing for one o'clock as she entered the grocery at the corner and purchased the two-cent roll which Tommy Howard's bounty enabled her to add to her feast.
Hello," he called, but without removing the receiver from the hook. "Hello send me up a dollar's worth of two-cent stamps thank you. Good-bye." Cato read on, but, in a moment, the magazine dropped from his hand to the floor. Holmes was at his side and the cold muzzle of a revolver pressed uncomfortably against his right temple. "That bureau cover quick," Raffles cried, sharply, to me.
Instead of my own familiar desk welcoming me with bulging packets of old letters, waiting for some rainy morning to be read and sentimentally destroyed, appeared the spinet desk, furnished with brand new blotters, chaste pens, and a fresh book of two-cent stamps. All but my mere flesh and bones had been conveniently stuffed into a two-hundred and fifty dollar high-boy!
Eight-cent corn, ten-cent oats, two-cent beef, and no price at all for butter and eggs that's what came of it.... The main question is the money question.... We want money, land, and transportation. We want the abolition of the National Banks, and we want the power to make loans directly from the Government. We want the accursed foreclosure system wiped out.
