easily captured.

Among Them a Medal of the First Metho.

Charles 2. Fritzinger, a German
farmer who resides in Benton county,
As miles south of Sedalia, Mo-, while
digging a drainage ditch on his farm
last month unearthed, at a distance of
three feet from the surface, medal or
token of Wesley chapel and parsonage.
John street, New York, the first Meth
odist building in America. Mr.. Frit-
Finger took it to Sedalia to find out
something about it and ascertain its
value. The token is made of lead and
antimony, is 2 inches in diameter and
the thickness of Bland dollar.
On the diverse side is an embossed
likeness of John Wesley, around which
are the inscriptions, Founder of Meth
odism" and The World Is Ny Par
ish. On the reverse side is an en-
bossed picture of Wesley chapel, show
ing the ancient place of worship and
the adjoining parsonage. The inscrip-
tions are Wesley Chapel and Parson-
age" and Dedicated by Philip En-
bury, Oct. 80, 176S." 1t is possible
that it was given by missionary to an
Indian, for the spot where it was found
is where the Osages and Kickapoos had
their last great battle. In running the
ditch where the token was unearthed
Mr.. Fritzinger found number of ar
rows, arrowheads, battle axes, toma-
hawks and other weapons used by the

now Blue Paper Was Discovered.

It was by the purest accident that the
simple process of tinting white paper
was discovered. 1t was the result of
sheer carelessness in woman. The wife
of an English paper maker named Viii
liam East, accidentally dropped the ''blue-
bag" small bag full of bluing with
which she was about to blue her washing,
into vat of pulp, where it lay long
emo III to give the entire mass blush
tinge before, to her CONSERVATION, she re-
covered it. So terrified was she at the
result of her gross carelessness and its
disastrous result that she dared not men,
ton the fact to her husband, whose dis
may at what he considered the discolora-
ton and destruction of the entire lot Of
paper made from the mass was his worry
for months.
He considered the paper spoiled and
an entire loss, but suffered it to remain
in an out of the way place as unstable
stock for four years, when, in order to
get it out of the way and to make room
in London, asking him to get rid of it at
any price. To the paper makers utter
surprise, in short time he received from
his agent an order for great quantity
of the blush paper and found upon in
quiry concerning the sanity of the agent
that the blush paper being a novelty
had taken wonderfully with the public.
But East was in a dilemma, for he had
no idea as to how to give the blue tinge
to the paper ordered by his agent and
wearily tried without result for many
days and nights.
Mentioning his trouble to his wife one
day she admitted her carelessness and
told of the way in which the pulp hap
pened to become spoiled by the bag of
bluing. The paper maker was overjoyed
at the revelation, found it an easy task
to give the tinge to his white paper and
until the time of his death, which oc-
CURED many years after, he was. unable
to supply the great demand for blue pa
per. so acceptable and relieving to the
eye of the writer. Boston Herald

ONE OF THE BOYS.
How q Texas Postmaster Raised the Wind
to Have Good Time.

How q Texas Postmaster Raised the Wind
to Have Good Time.
Schemes for robbing the government
are plentiful, but one of the most unique
perhaps that has been put into opera
ton for some time has just come to
light down in Texas.
Uncle Sam did not pay one of his
fourth class postmasters In little vii
lage in the Lone Star State sufficient
money to pay his bills and have sur
plus with which to go out with the boys
at night. A friend of the genial post
master was in the same financial pre-
dicament, so they decided to make the
government furnish enough coin with
which life could be made worth living.
They couldn't tap the tills of the office,
because the receipts were too low, nei-
ther could they steal stamps, because
they were allowed too few. 1t was final
ly decided that the money order system
was the best thing to tackle in order to
get funds, and accordingly the postmas-
ter issued 81 orders for 500 each to his
friend, payable at neighboring Office.
The friend had them cashed, and for a
few weeks both lived high.
Now the question arose how to cover
f1eir tracks. The wits of the two Grim
lnals were put to work, and it was set-
tied that they should buy the star route
in that section, subsidize the mail mes
senger and have hold up" after
which the postmaster would be sble to
say that the money in payment of the
orders was taken from the mailbag.
The programme was carried out. The
messenger was held up and came to
town telling of his loss, and the post
master swore that he had placed the
money for the payment of the orders in
the mailbag.
The postoiice department became sus-
picious and sent a special agent down
there. which resulted in the capture of
the postmaster and his accomplice. The
messenger was also locked up,-Wash-

Kabarega, the negro king of Unyoro,
in Central Africa, is man who rules his
subjects with a rod of iron. Like all ty-
rants. he regulates their smallest actions,
and host of spies inform him of any
disobedience to his commands.
Among other things, he has made a
fixed tariff of prices for everything
bought or sold in his country, and every
deviation from it is severely punished.
An instance of this is given by Vita Has
san in his book about Emin Pasha and
the Equatorial Province.
About month after Hassan's arrival
in Unyoro he bought fowl and paid 80
cowries for it, while the market price
was only 25. In that part of Africa it
takes about $50 cowries to make 81.
Soon afterward dragoman of the king
appeared and brought back 8 cowries,
with the message:
"a fowl costs only 25 cowries, while
you have given 30. The seller has done
wrong, and the king will punish him,
but he sends to you the advice to be care
full henceforth in your purchases-never
to give for anything more than it is
worth, first of all in your own interest,
and next to this in order not to disturb
the market. Youths Companion.
