.Worth 100000. and remanded to
the Cheyenne Jail" D. J. McCann
was in 1871 conspicuous in Nebraska
for his zeal in religious and temper
ance reforms. He was president of a
national bank, was considered a sharp
politician and business man, and was
candidate for the governorship. But
when Grants Indian policy began to
develop McCann saw his chance, and
he turned to contracting for Indian
supplies. Like other contractors and
AGENTS, he made money rapidly. He
owned residence in Washington and
cut a great figure. Then he was ac-
cused of specializing IN the states
school money, but he escaped punish
ment. Next he was charged with
stealing a car load of beans and ship
ping them in barrels to the Black
Hills. He was tried for this, and after
escaping from Justice was in turn ac-
cused of using money in the trial -
Now he Is in jail, the grand jury hav-
ing indicted him and the petit jury
convicted him of stealing fifty barrels
of sugar that was being taken to the
Indian agency.

| A London paper saws - "All tho
world has been laughing at Prince
B,smarck's story about the Russian
sentry standing in the middle Of q
lawn. He did not knew why he wa.
sent there, the officer who sent him
did not know, nor was the Gear, when
questioned, whit more capable Of
giving the raison d'etre Of that stolid
sentinel II turned ont that the EN-
press Catherine, just hundred years
ago, wishing to preserve a snowdrop
from being pluoked, sent sentry to
watch it. The snowdrop faded, sum.
mer came. and yet the sentry re-
manned, and there he remained for a
century. The story is an apt illustra-
ton of the mechanical nature at once
Of the official mind and of Russian
militarism. But we fear it is all but
apocryphal, for very similar tale is
told in half-a dozen countries. For
instance, in sGreville's Memoirs It is
related that sentry used to stand in
one of the corridors of the Foreign
Office. His only business was to re.
quest all Corners to keep to the left
Why they shonld keep to the left, or
why he was sent to tell them to do 80,
nobody knew. Finally it was dis
covered that many years before, the
walls being painted, a soldier was
temporarily posted there to warn peo-
pie of the wet paint. He had re-
mained--or rather a succession OF
soldiers had--ever since. But tale
told by General Klinger, one Of Goe.
the's early friends, is exactly the same
as Bismarck's, only in Ringers anec-
dote it was moss-rose which had
been guarded for century, and the
lawn was ono in front of German
palace instead Of a Russian one.
"But these variorum readings Of
the same story do not end there.
The Empress Catherine found her son
Paul charged with many thousands
OF bottles of brandy. As the Prince
never touched the liquor she caused
an inquiry to be made, and found
that, when child, he had on one oc
casion required glass of brandy as a
lotion for an excoriation on his leg
From that time a bottle Of brandy
had been either sent to him or charged
to him. Hence the liquor bill FL
nally. not to multiply these tales, not
many years ago some inquisitive per-
son noticed that year after year the
sum of Gao was charged N the Esti-
mates AZ the salary of British non
commissioned officer IN the Low Coun
tries. He found. moreover, that it
had been charged for great number
Of vears-indeed nobody remembered
when it was not charged in the Eng
lish Army Estimates. This led to in
qnirv, when it was discovered that
after the battle of :Malplaqnet, fought
in 1909, the DIXIE Of Marlborough left
Sergeant to take care Of some
stores. The sergeant was in time
forgotten, but, liking his post, took
care not to remind his snperiors Of his
existence, and so continued drawing
his salary to the end Of his life, and
his children, and grandchildren did 80
after him. We are afraid, however,
that all these good stories must be
cracked as mvths /"
