While 'waiting “between the plates” Toole, who was fond of a lark, suggested to his brother comedian to sally out and call upon a certain mutual acquaint ance, who would be horribly shocked at receiving visitors in such a garb.

PENNY POSTAGE The Incident Thdl Led to Its Estab lishment In England. Many years ago, when Queen Vic toria first began to reign, it cost nine- pence to send a letter from one Eng lish city to another. In those days the postage was not paid by the sender of the letter, as is now customary, but by the receiver. So, of course, there were many poor people who could not afford to pay ninepenee when their mail arrived, and, it often happened that they were obliged to forfeit the letters. One day a man named Howland Hill was riding on the outskirts of a city, and he saw a postman bring a letter to a young girl and demand ninepenee for it. The girl took the letter, scru tinized it carefully and then handed it back to the man, saying she could not afford to pay the postage. Thereupon Rowland Hill, being a kind hearted man, rode up and. insisted upon paying it himself. When the postman had gone, the girl confessed to her bene factor that the letter was from her lover, and to avoid paying ninepenee on every letter he made certain marks on the envelope which she alone could decipher. ‘But,” said Rowland Hill, “don’t you know you are doing something very dishonest in thus cheating the government?” The girl admitted she did, but there was no other way to ;do. Hill rode away and meditated over this little incident, and his farfamed idea of “penny postage” was the re sult. At first he was laughed at by every one, but he fought bravely and finally was rewarded by seeing his idea in practice all over the land.—New York Tribune. • .
