A curious use for husband Is report
ed from Clerkenwell, near London,
where Mr.. Lamb and his wife keep a
small general store For fourteen years
the firm has avoided paying taxes by
the wife's sending the husband to jail
to serve out the legal time for unpaid
taxes, while she remains at the store
attending to business. 1t is beyond
question that the new woman, who sup
some use for the partner of her sorrows.
When he wooed her he said he would
die for her. When in trouble she asks
him to please go to Jail for her; and
he goes.

urged her to do it a long time before she
finally consented. When Mrs. Sarver
expressed lack Of ability to under
stand how Dollie could be so wicked as
to enter into such sinful plot and ven.
ture upon such bold undertaking she
cried like child.
''She has always been obedient and
was good to us. She is a pretty girl
and we thought everything Of her," she
said.
Among the inducements held out to
Dollie by Josie Derringer. so she relates,
was marriage with young Robbins, a
new house by the road side, and a bug
CIV to ride around in. she could then
get away from the old cabin and live
stylishly.

day is an immense interest and factor
in mercantile transactions Of almost In
calculable proportions, and 1t Is an
American institution Of a little more
than half a centurys growth, yet It le
not new species Of Industry.
Mr.. Cheney had the reputation or Pc
Ing one Of the most skillful managers
Of express and railway combinations
that the country has produced. He mao
an amazing faculty for discovering the
feasibility Of new routes, and he had an
intuitive perception Of railroad enter
prises which promised well. he began
investing in railway stocks and was
singularly successful In every venture.
Yet he was a quiet operator, so much
so that everybody In the business was
astonished at the amount of his invest
ments when they became generally
known. He was also shreWd Judge
Of real estate values and soon became
a large holder of valuable investments.
Even his most intimate friends knew
but little Of his large transactions. he
lived bachelor until past middle Ire,
when he married a young lady then re-
siding in Dorchester.
The greatest harvest reaped by the
principal express companies was DUR
ing the late war Of the rebellion, when
everything was sent and received by
express, no matter what the cost. The
writer of this had varied and some
what tedious experience in the bust
ness during that protracted disturb
ance, and was witness to many scenes
| of somber and many of humorous
| character. These were mostly seen IN
| the returns from the seat Of war just
after battle. Sometimes after VIC
toriOus Federal action, or the capture
| of rebel town, the officers, as we'll as
the men, made a practice Of sending
home trophies they had captured. These
often were household effects Of COM
paratively little value, and cost the
recipients at home large tax for ex-
| press transportation. Sometimes live
stock was sent, consisting largely OF
| dogs and donkeys, sometimes singing
bird or fowls of peculiar breed On one
occasion stalwart negro fellow was re.
| ceived at the Boston office sent by an
officer who found he could do nothing
else with him and thought he might be
of use on his farm at home. The grin
ming darby had card firmly fastened
about his neck giving the address where
! to land him and this direction: "Feed
| and grub this niger all that he needs"
1t was sad, however, to see the rough
boxes often piled up outside the office
containing the remains Of the boys in
blue sent home for burial among the
scenes which they had left short time
before for the Southern battlefelds.
| These relics often proved burdensome
! cost to their bereaved families at home.
We were always glad to forward remit
tances of money to the oftent1mes dis
tressed ones at home. The business
transacted by some of the big expresses,
Adams & Co., for instance, was Of enor-
nous proportions, and added largely to
the wealth Of many proprietors, the
terrible war proving a godsend to them
at least-Boston Transcript.

It would be interesting to kno

It would be interesting to know how
many other small towns are as badly
off in the matter Of fire protection as
Lockport, ILL.,, was. The fire which
brought destruction to that town is said
to have burned up about S25O,0OO worth
Of property, when, if it had been at
tackled with proper fire-fghting appara-
tls early in the day, the loss might
have been limited to a few hundreds.
But there were no fire engines on hand
and no fremen to man them if there
had been any. The fire, which started
with trifling blaze, swept on un-
checked until it had destroyed some of
the most valuable property in the town.
and then it was only subdued by fire
engines sent from Chicago A town OF
a few thousand people, small though it
be, is yet large enough to possess a con-
siderable area Of combustible build
ings. It would be we'll for the authori-
ties in the various towns Of the State
which have no fire protection to con,
slider whether the property in their
charge is worth preserving. and, if So.
whether the moderate expense of sup
porting fire company or two is not
more easily borne than the great cost of
an extensive confagration, with the
vexation and distress and the fatalities
which such disaster generally in
wolves. The chief reason for the i'm
munity apparently enjoyed by small
towns is that yisitations of fire are
rare. When they do come, with favor
ing wind and weather the result is al
most sure to be heavily disastrous.

Homeless and Hopeless
The little home Of Fleming Sarver and
wife, who were poisoned July 6 by their
foster-daughter, Dollie, is located in the
southeast corner Of Jackson County,
Ind, some twelve miles from the town
of Seymour. 1t Is q small, weather
stained cabin, set away back in the
fields. among the rose bushes and scrub
by fruit trees, half a mile from the

sides by heavy timber. To reach the
