AN ANIMATED POSTAGE sTAMP.
It Changed the Course of the Drunkard
Who Saw It.
There died the other day in Kansas
City a man who lost his passion for
drink in a peculiar manner.
From his youth the man had been an
unconscionable tippler. One night, sev-
eral years ago,'he stumbled into an ob—
scure saloon at midnight, gave his or-
der and lolled against the bar for sup-
port._ A man standing near by book
from one pocket an addressed envelope
and foam another a stamp, which he
Instead
of. adhering to the envelope, as the
man intended, the stamp slipped from
his fingers and fluttered? to ;.tl1e.-. floor.
The unconscionable tippler saw it fall,
and staggered forward to pick 11: up.
Just as he was about to grasp it, the
stamp started in a 21:21: course to-
ward the side well like a scared 111mg.
Filled with wonder and astonishment
the drinker drew back and intently
watched the blt or paper,wl1111c‘h;-upon
