A Suspicious Traveling.Bag.

Not long ago a well-dressed travel
Ter stopped at a prominent hotel
over night, and before leaving gave
the landlord his new nickel-mounted
travelling bag, requesting him to care
of it until his return in a few days.
More than a week passed, but the
traveller did not return, and the land
lord thought proper to communicate
the fact to the authorities who had
of late issued strict regulations re-
specting the disposal of lost articles.
On closer inspection the weight of the
bag was discovered to be out of all
proportion to it's size, for the thing
weighed no less than 5S pounds.
This circumstance, together with the
disappearance of the traveller, awak-
ened grave suspicion, and after an
active interchange of kilograms be-
tween cities, the bag was at first de-
posted in cool place, and then car
ried by a couple of workmen, with
every precaution, to fort q
couple of miles out of town.

signed to remote spot and no one
allowed to approach it within hun

suggested to render the dangerous
object harmless. Among other things
it was proposed to drop the bag
down from the edge of the cliff, there
by causing the bomb or the dynamite
which it might contain to explode.
This plan was, however, abandoned
on the unexpected return of the trav-
eler, who came to claim his bag from
the landlord. He turned out to be
well-known commercial traveller for
a hardware firm, and the cause of SO

shells, but only samples of tools
weighing about SO pounds. The
owner was not little surprised at
the sensation that his bag had pro-
duced.

Pins, Twelve Dollars A Paper!

From an article entitled Hard
Times in the Confederacy" in
the September Century we
quote the following: ''In August, 49,
GA, a private citizens coat and vest,
made of five yards of coarse home
spun cloth, cost two hundred and
thirty dollars exclusive of the price
paid for the making. The tri innings
consisted of old cravats; and for the
cutting and putting together, a
country tailor charged fifty dollars.
1t is safe to say that the private
citizen looked a veritable guy in his
new suit, in spite of its heavy drain
upon his pocket-book. In January,
1866, the material for a lady's dress
which before the war would have cost
ten dollars could not be bought for
less than five hundred. The maseu-
line mind is unequal to the tasks of
guessing howe great asum might have
been had forbonnets brought through
the lines; for in spite of patient self
sacrifice and unfaltering devotion at
the bedside of the wounded in the
hospital, or in ministering to needs
of relatives and dependents at home,
the Southern women OF those days
are credited with as keen an interest
in the fashions as women everywhere
in civilized lands are apt to be in
times OF peace. 1t was natural that
they should be so interested, even
though that interest could in the
main not reach beyond theory.
Without it they often would have
had a charm the less and pang the
more. Any feminine garment in the
shape of cloak or bonnet or dress
which CHANGED to come from the
North was readily awarded it's need
of praise, and reproduced by sharp
eyed observers, SO far as the scarcity
of materials would admit. But
fashions rules were necessarily much
relaxed in the Southern Confederacy
80 far as practice went when even
such articles as pins brought through
the blockade sold for twelve dollars
a paper, and needless for ten, with
not enough of either"

The Minister'S Wife.

And are we to expect nothing
from a minister's wife?", said Miss
Lane in very subdued voice.
Nothing more than her duty as a
woman. If she has qualities that
will give hera leading social influence,
and has time to spare from her home
duties, which are always first, she
ought to let these qualities become
active for good. But no more can,
withjustice, be required of any other
woman in the congregation. Your
contract for service is with her hus-
band, and not with her; and you
have no more claim upon her time,
nor right to control her freedom,
than you have over the wife of your
lawyer, doctor or school-master.
eff you think my services absolutely
essential to the prosperity of the
church, just state the amount of
salary you can afford to give, and
if, for the sum, / can procure any
person in every way as competent
as myself to assume the charge ofmy
children and household, l will take
into serious cosideration your propo-
sition. Beyond this, ladies, I can
promise nothing.
81 could WISH" she continued, in a
lower voice, to number you all as
my friends. I have come among you
only as stranger, seeking no pre-
eminence, but desiring to do my
duty as a woman. The fact that my
husband is your Minister gives me
of right no position among you, and
gives you no right to- demand of me
any public service. If my husband
fails in his duty, admonish him; but
in the name of justice and humanity
do not establish any supervision
over me. Let my private life be as
sacred from intrusion as that of any
other woman. This l have right
to demand, and l will be satisfied
with nothing less. "-Woman's Maya

A Wonderfully Lucky Baby

From the Omaha Herald
Officer Vanous, who patrols the
district West of the Union Pacific
shops, is an expert catcher. One
afternoon while pacing up Chi
cago Street, near Twelfth, his atten-
ton was called to a volume of smoke
pouring out OF the upper window of
1917, and he started for the nearest
signal box. AS he was passing the
building he saw something white
come out of the second-story window,
and instinctively put out bis hand
to catch it. He succeeded. 1t was
a little 2-months-old baby. It's IA
ther, L. C. Pettitfford, had returned
home, filled the gasoline stove tank,
touched a match to the burner, when,
presto, change, the stove exploded.
His wife was frightened out of her
wits and caught up the baby and
fred it from the window.

Fiction 0ntd0ne.


The Machias Republican tells Off
Maine man who spent night in
Machias recently. The hero OF the
remarkable series Of adventures Is
Harvey P. Osgood, who says he was
born in Princeton in 1928. In 1913
he ran away and enlisted in the
United States army, serving in vari-
Gus commands until the close of the
war of the rebellion, being several
times a prisoner and. in fact, escap-
ing from Kirby Smith across the
Rio Grande in the last days of hos
tilities. But Osgood was no sooner
in Mexican-territory than he became
the captive of a band of marauding
Greasers.
Mr.. Osgood claims to have passed
twenty-five years of his life with
these men, during which time he
learned to speak their language
fCnently, which, he says, was the
chief cause of his long captivity, he
having been. retained for an inter-
prefer. He claims to have made
frequent trials for liberty, but with
out success, for some of these rowing
bands were sure to recapture him
before he could reach the border.
The last trial he made for this pur-
pose was March 7, 1888, but he was
pursued and when he found escape
impossible he threw up his hands to
surrender, but was to late to avoid
the effects of a volley fred by the
pursuing party, which caused the loss
of nearly one-half of the right foot,
another bullet splitting his scalp.
Still another entered his mouth,
knocking out three teeth and break
ing his jaw, and is now lodged under
the ear; still another which was cop
per, struck him in the side, passing
around the body, and is now lodged
in the breast, and, being poisonous,
causes him much trouble. 1t is by
reason of this that he travels on foot
rather than by rail or carriage, as
any serious jar will bring on hemor-
rhage.
Shortly after Osgood's recapture
Mexican troops ran down the Grea-
sers, and the Americans long cap
tivity was at an end. He made his
way to the City of Mexico and then
north through the United States to
Maine.
In addition to the loss of a part Of
one hand and one foot. Osgood car,
ries seven bullets in various places in
his body, some of which could doubt
less have been taken out had he been
in position to have received proper
treatment. He had papers from the
commanders of various army posts
throughout the country, stating
that they have examined him closely,
and believe the account which he
gives OF himself to be true, and rec
ommend him to the consideration OF
comrades farther on. He has also
dozens of papers of a like nature
from noted men in various places, all
of which seem to be genuine. Whether
the story which he tells is true or
not, he is certainly remarkable
man, and has undoubtedly seen
rough times somewhere. He says he
has not slept in a bed for thirty years,
and wants nothing better than a
blanket on the hard floor.

The Story Of q Tramp.

There is sometimes a good deal of
difficulty about a man in a strange
town getting himselfidentified. There
hasjust turned up an ingenious tramp
over in New Jersey who has hit upon
novel and successful plan. They
are kindly people in the country.
They have good deal ofsimple faith,
which an eminent poet has assured
us is better than Norman blood, and
when cheek backs a man up the
simple faith becomes simpler still.
Tramps are the original human ma
ture. Our great fnrefather was
tramp, but had to give up the bust
ness because there were no chicken
houses to rob, no hay stacks to sleep
behind and no good-hearted farmers
wife to give him anything to eat.
Yet these must of been glorious days
for tramping for there were no dogs,
no guns, no policemen, no nothing
that was dangerous. We are all nat
urally tramps. A tramp does the
hardest kind of work from pure lazi-
ness. He is about the only specimen,
except Stanley and Emin Bey and
two or three more, who lives a life of
adventure. Governments support
those travellers and they get killed.
My opinion is that if the American
Government will ship alot of genuine,
well-trained tramps to Africa we will
find out all about the country
in no time. Tramps always
get through. Barring the few
who get killed by trains, they do not
seem to die. Where they go to,
heaven only knows, but the NOR
tality among tramps is low, and
nothing-not even bad whiskey-can
kill them. Heaven has to do it by
dropping them off freight cars.
Tramps are useful. They give zest
to country life, which is otherwise
unexcited by anything more interest
ing than the weather or a mad bull.
Yes, old King Lear hit tramps well
when he said to Edgar, "Here are
three of us sophisticated; thou art
the thing ITSELF"
However, tramps can be reformed
with money, like other human nature.
The tramp whereof speak had been
holding an autopsy on a beer barrel
in the city of Passaic and succeeded
in getting very full AS long as he
was empty the law had no hold upon
him. When he got full the police
came in and jagged him. He was
duly tried for being drunk, and hav-
ing served his sentence he disap-
peared. A few weeks after he turned
up again and visited the court. No
longer in the custody of the law, he
got the ear of the Judge and pro-
duced check. ;
Judge" hesaid, pardon me. You
know you had me before you for be-
ing drunk once. I've got bill on
the bank, and they won t pay it with
out Identification. You know me.
Do you mind going down to the bank
and identifying me?"
The Judge did. He wrote his name
on the back Of the bin and the hum
BILE reformed tramp drew $50 and
disappeared. Tt turned out that the
