had faith in stockings. Aftsr his death tho
children mourned the fact that nothing had
been left them, and began rumaging about
to find will. In their search they dis
covered sundry stockings full of gold and
silver coin, amounting to over $1,000,
which had beeu put away, mainly in half

the century to the farmers death, showing

lady conspicuous not only by reason Of
her beauty, but also on account of tho bril-

and the general richness of her dress. The
Emperor Napoleon, struck by her appear

was told that she was the wife of a mer-
chant who had made an immense fortune
by the sale of tobacco. ''Ths business is .
profitable one then?" remarked the En-
peror; and the result was that on the 10th

Great strength is shown for Thurman

Hancock. Mcclellan, and even Potter. The

That paper is said to be working up Gen.
