Force OF IMAGINATION. The cheer
full countenance Of Ben Vincent ra-
dates with broad smile when he
relates the latest joke on one Of his
customers. 1t appears that Gen.
NJ. (there are several Gen. Ms, you
must remember) is particularly fas-
tidious about the fit of his boots.
Time and again the most careful
and exact measurement has failed to
secure a fit which was satisfactory,
and the General would pull on a
pair of custom-made boots, with the
emphatic declaration, "There
That's just right. Why can't you
make O boot to order which will fit
like that ?" A few days ago he en-
tered the shop and after repeated
trials, failed to find foot-covering
which exactly came up to his ideas
of comfort. At last Ben drew forth
from an obscure corner q pair which
he thought might serve the purpose.
They were made for a gentleman
who had not called for them. The
General drew them on easily; a
smile Of satisfaction stole over his
features; he held his foot aloft and
viewed the shapely proportions Of
the elegant kip with undisguised
admiration; then bringing his foot
down declared That's just the tit;
you might try month and you
couldn't make boot for me like
that" and he walked out of the shop,
exultant that his oft-repeated asser-
ton had again received a practical
verification. Ben bided his time,
and when the boots had been we'll
"broken in" one day inquired OF
the customer, Well, General, how
do those boots suit p Capitally!
capitally" exclaimed the purchaser.
"Well, we'll l am glad of it; I made
those boots for you two years ago. to
your measure" and in verifcation
OF the fact he turned down the leg
ging and disclosed the name of the
purchaser, written when the boots
were made. The joke was too good
to keep, so Ben entrusted it to us
Gin strict confidence, you know"

PAPERS RECOVERED. The annual
report of CT r. H. Milroy, Indian
Agent, mailed in August, failed to
reach the Department, and a few
days ago he received telegraphic
notification of the fact. He imme-
diately set about preparing dupli-
Gates and after several days incessant
labor, mailed them to the proper
officer at Washington. What had
become of the report and the volum-
inous papers accompanying it re-
manned mystery till Monday night,
when Gen. Milroy received them
from Postal Agent futile. with the
explanation that they had been
found in the Siskiyou mountains,
where the mail robbery occurred
last September. The papers show
evidences of having been exposed to
the effects of the weather, and there
is no doubt but they are part of the
missing mail. 1t is doubtful wheth-
er the Department will receive the
duplicate papers in time to print
them with the annual report to Con-
gress.
