Booth Live Stock Comp'y, HoRACE IIARBY'S OLD STAND, SOME FREAK STAMPS ERRORS THAT CAUSE PHILATELISTS TO JUMP FOR JOY. The Craze Among Collectors For the Possession of Samples of Blunders Made by Uncle Sam's Bureau of En graving and Printing. About the only freaks of great value manufactured by the government are misprinted postage stamps, the value of one of these sometimes running up into the thousands. There is nothing more dear to the collector than these errors in printing, and, too, there is nothing which causes a tornado of trouble quicker in the bureau of en graving and printing. An error is gen erally a costly thing in this depart ment. It means that whoever is re spe sible for the mistake must get out and hunt another job. The work Is too important to permit of carelessness. An error psoduces a freak stamp, but it also produces a vacancy, often more, In the ranks of the employees of the de partment. But the collector, the phi latelist, is happy, for he gets a prize of the first water. Any and every thing in tIh way of a stamp which varies a hair's breadth from the correct design is a freak, and there is always a heated race by the stamp fiends to secure one of these. Usually these errors, and they are not made often, are detected before many of the stamps are put in circulation, and when only a few get out the collectors are ready to pay fancy prices for one of the prizes. Some few collectors la bor under the impression that "every man has his price," and the sum of .20,000 was offered the head of the bu reau a few years ago if he would have Issued a half dozen sheets of two cent errors. Of course no consideration whatever was given to the proposition, and the get rich quick philatelist saw his plans miscarry. Some very valuable freak stamps were issued in 1869, when a series of stamps was issued in colors. The series comprised denominations from 1 cent to 90 cents. The 15, 24, 30 and 90 cents were printed in two colors. On these the central picture was print ed inverted, and the error was detect ed. Today any of these freaks will bring from $500 to $800 each. The freak two cent pan-American series of stamps which turned up in Buffalo, N. Y., in the year of the Rain bow City exposition, 1901, are now rat ed at $55 each. Only a few of these got In circulation before it was discovered that the railroad train in the center of the stamp was upside down. It is like ly that thousands would have been sold had not a gentleman who had purchas ed ten stamps discovered the error and forthwith wrote the bureau of en graving and printing notifying the of ficers. He doubtless thought he was doing a good service for the govern ment, and doubtless he was, but the stamp collectors denounce him as a chump of the rankest type. The gen tleman gave away several of the stamps he had bought. While a large number of the stamps with the invert ed train of cars were sold before the error was detected, there are only six of these freaks which can be account ed for, the other stamps having per aps served their purpose without be ng discovered as belonging to the val able freak fanmily. It is altogether easonable to suppose that the stamps were affixed to letters and the en velopes destroyed. If any sheet of er ror stamps other than that sent to the Buffalo office was ever sent out, the fact has ne~ver been known at the bu reau, and it is not likely that the mar ket will ever be glutted with this freak stamp. During the winter of 1890 a sheet of3 the ordinary one cent stamps, with the word "Guam" printed across the-face, slipped through with -"Guam" upside down. These stamps were printed for the use of the island, and collectors have searched far ana near for them. Only a few have been secured by the collectors, and they bring stiff prices. The people of Guam know but little about the value set on such freaks by the stamp collectors. Back in the seventies, when the gov ernment used its own distinctive set of stamps for the several departments. an error was mrade by the bank note company which then held the contract for making the stamps. The regular color adopted by the navy department was blue. A sheet of the two cent de nomination' was printed in green, and the freak has now a market value of about $45 each. The genuine, in blue, Is worth twenty times its face value. One collector was fortunate enough to corner the market by getting pos session of a sheet of four cent stamps of the Columbian series which was printed by mistake in steel blue when its right color should have been ultra marine blue. He got it at its face value, and when he wants to dispose of one he can readily get $35;. There are a number of other valu able freak stamps, but the errors of the bureau of engraving and printing have been remarkably few, consider ing the immense number of sheets of stamps turned out every year. Each sheet after being printed passes through a dozen or more hands before it Is ready for the stock vault, and In spectors and counters are always on the lookout for errors in printing.

Writing to a woman friend once. she described a re ception given by w.aithy Chinamen in a restaurant kept by (Chi Lung in San Francisco. and she was the guest of bonor. She said that she saw a serv ant coming toward her with a box di vided into nin:y conipartments, with different kinds of nuts and candles in the smaller trays. She picked out half a dozen or mare and laid them on the arm of the chair. whib served as a ta ble. As the attendant passed on to others she saw that each took only one bonbon, and she v;as much embar rassed. But when the servant approached the ehief Chinaman, the one who had orig inated the reception, he took a large handful. and those after him did the same, and then Miss Dickinson felt re ieved. She wrote: ",After I learned that I must have hocked all af those educated, cultured Chinamen as much as you or I si-.uld ave been shocked if we had invited a Chinaman whom we respected to dine with us and he had taken a whole fried chicken and torn it limb from limb at our table.
