Hardenbrook had been arrested in New

Benjamin e. Sandford's robbery Of the
Continental National bank. Harden
brook was married here three weeks acc
to Annie Melton, daughter of a. B. Mel
ton, and the wedding was swell affair
He was called Judge Hardenbrook, and
it was announced that he had met Mis-.
Melton while she was visiting her uncle
a millionaire, of the name of Dameron
in San Francisco.
The meeting, courtship and wedding
all made up an interesting romance II
connection with the elaborate accounts
Of the wedding printed here, the hint
was giqen that the bride was to be the
heiress of her wealthy uncle, and at the
same time an lntimation was given that
the bridegroom was very wealthy.
The marriage was apparently not only
the elimination Of romance. but thf
joining of two wealthy and aristocrat I
families. This news from New York
which somehow or other has Just reach
ed here, has given st. Louis socie
something to talk about.

My Dear Sir:-Where are the
friends of my youths, Rabbit. foot
lack Daw and several others whose
familiar names l used to.see in the
GAZETTE. When | remember. all
those names so linked together and
then look for them in vain | wonder
as l inquire above, where are they,
and echo, answers where?
It is sweet to think at ones leis-
ure moments of the past, the happy
past and call 20 mind moments of
bliss, such thoughts will often cause
the eye to grow just a'little dim
with the unbidden tear.
But then who ever heard of a
newspaper manishedding tears ,ex-
cept for the absence of his dinner
or when the Office devil, has stolen
his pipe Such as that will make
any respectable Editor cry.
Well on the 18th we had what is
generally called a slow cold farmers
rain and in caused us to think that
our winter had gotten out of the lap
of spring and commenced to look
after herself, and we found that a
good fire was truly agreeable COM
pany.
Now that conference is near at
hand and the preachers are prepar-
ing to 60, our church sisters are
all hurrying up the new clothes and
silk hats for them. The city
where they convenes being the beau
tiful citysof Admission, you know or
may imagine how the chickens and
turkeys will suffer. But my
preacher does not eat chickns, but
ducks and turkeys suffer where he
goes along. Yet we must mot say
anything against such,s: as the ser
want is supposed to be worthy Of his
hire.
We are having several good meet,
ings in our churches now, and many

are being added to the fold.

10 refpe :, the House Of Gould.

A Wall street man, once associated with
Mr.. Gould, told an interesting bit of HIS
tory yesterday. ut was several months,
possibly year before he died." he said,
"that Jay Gould came to the conclusion
that his life on this earth was about
spanned. So he decided to set his house
hold to rights before the summons came.
He took his four boys into his study one
night, and as a preface told them the his
tory of his life-of all the hardships and
struggles Of his youth up to the time that
he began to know men and to turn that
knowledge to profit.
HE explained the method of his great
railroad operations, the keystone Of which
was to buy railroad stocks when the road
was run down and the stock was cheap.
He would then develop the road, boom the
stock and get out with a handsome profit.
He gave illustrations Of these methods and
urged his SONS to follow ia his footsteps,
keep on building up the great property
that he would leave them, and thus main
tain the name of Gould as great power in
the financial world. He urged them tc
emulate tho example of the Vanderbilts.
He told the boys" the Wall street man
continued, "the amount of his wealth, and
that it would probably be left in trust sc
as to obviate the necessity Of making q
will. The boys listened to this story OF the
great financier, whose fears were to be 81
soon realized, and gave their promises te
keep up the name and the estate of Gould
but l doubt IL they succeed. and l don't
think Jay Gould had much faith in theil
power to do 80 either. He had consider
able confidence in George. but little in the
other boys.
But would have liked to have heard
that story of Jay Goulds life. IL would b,
better than a fairy tale and would make the
fortune Of any man. New York World.

road lahorcrs working in Salmon coulee
with great piece of ice wrapped in a
blanket, which he offered for sale. The
workmen instituted a search in the iirec-
ton from which he had come, and soon
found a cold stream trieklins through the
shell rock, and farther up the ice beds were
found.
They were formed among the masses of
shell rock by the melting OF snow in win.
ter, the water running down among the
rocks and freezing there at night Ice re-
mains there perpetnally and in large
quantities. The most singular feature is
that the spot is only 500 feet above the sea
and the sun beats with intense heat upon
the-rocks above the ice, which is also ex-
posed to warm drafts of air through the
creyices. yet the ice never melts.-New Or

The man who has the mania for collect.
ing postage stamps is known technically
as philntelist Philately was much ridi-
culed in its early days, and is still. both by
the press and those not acquainted with It's
value.
Postage stamps, as but few are aware,
are of recent invention, and it is only since
1910 that letters have been stamped. With
the advent of the postage stamp rates
were greatly lowered. Before that, In Eng
land, the charge for sending letter the
shortest distance was sixpence, but with
the introduction of the staHp it fell to a
penny. The introduction of the postal sys-
tenn as 1t at present exists in nearly every
country on the globe Ia credited to Great
Britain, which in 1870 issued covers and
envelopes to prepay letters all over the
Kingdom, This plan was adopted through
the exertions of James Chalmers, although
the honor has long been given to Sir Row
land Hill.
The first country to follow England was
Brazil In 1912 set Of three stamps was
issued, consisting simply of large numerals
denoting the value printed in black. Then
came the cantons of Switzerland and Fin
land with envelopes which today are very
rare; next came Russia, United States,
France, Belgium, Spain, Bavaria, and other
countries followed in the train, until ut
the present time there is scarcely portion
of the globe inhabited by civilized people
that has not postal system.-Ohio State

the early and middle periods of his life,
