Old leather nreeehes.

Old Leather Brooches was at one time
tho best known guide and trapper in
Pike county. Pa He lived in tho woods
not many miles from Milford, the coun-
ty seat. His proper name no n knew,
but on account Of tho leather trousers
which he invariably wore he was known
by every IA as Old Leather Brooches.
Only occasional visits were made by
the old man to town, and then he came
for tobacco and whisky. One Sunday
morning he walked into town and upon
arriving NJ his favorite trading place
was surprised to sec it closed
Hello" said he, somebody dead,
/ guess.
Proceeding leisurely down the main
street, no went 10 another store, only to
find this closed also, Completely nom
plused, tho trapper hailed the first pass
orby with: "Say, who is deadf Must be
some big gun, 1 guess. Whore is the fu-
noralf"
"Why, this IS Sunday, old man re-
piled the villnger.

What the two powers, Germany and
Austria, would do in some future Rus
sian advance toward Constantiuople re
mains to be seen. AS long as they are
not occupied with serious business o9
their own they viii be at liberty to
watch the movements Of their giant ri
val Bot let war break out between Ger
many and France, and the situation viii
be changed at once. How easy it will
be then for Russia to claim the object
Of her ambition as q reward for support
TO Germany or even in return for a be
nevolent neutrality! A precedent for
such a course is to be found in her in
forming the powers assembled in Lon
don in 1871 that she considered herself
no longer bound by the article in the
treaty Of Paris which required the neu-
t|ralization of tho Black sea. What Rus
sia would do with her prize when she
had secured it is a speculation into which
there is little need to enter. That CON
sideration does not trouble the minds Of
those who cast longing eyes upon the
glories of the Golden Horn.
Russia will not be deferred from seek
ing possession of Constantinople by
fears Of criticism without or cOmplica-
tions within her borders. For the one
she VIII still have her diplomacy and
for the other her divine mission, If, as
the mistress of Constantinople, she COM
manded tho mouths Of the Danube, she
might soothe Germany and Austria with
n promise of a strict neutrality in those
waters. MOSCOW would be jealous
Of the new Byzantium and B~yzantium
would hate Moscow the Same tactics
that reconciled Moscow 10 st. Peters
burg would reconcile both to the new
metropolis ut Constantinople Fort

Sedalia, Mo, Dec 3 &C. NJ. Thou
venel, the Benton County farmer,
and his daughter, Rosa, the Is year
old girl who eloped several days ago
with Chism, an illiterate negro, ar
rived in Sedalia this morning from
Lawrence, Kansas, where Chism is
held on the charge of abduction,
pending a writ of habeas corpus to-
morrow. The girl consented to re-
turn home with her father provided
her husband was not brought to
Missouri for prosecution, and the
father asked the authorities of Ben
ton County to enter nolle prosequi
on the charge of abduction. It is
believed County Attorney Jackson
will consent to do so,and that Chism
will be discharged when his case is
called at Lawrence tomorrow. The
girl is very commonplace country
girl and not particularly bright. Her
negro child was left with the police
matron in Kansas City with the un-
derstanding that good home would
be provided for it.

B:rch Tree, No, Dec. 3-A sen.
sational highway robbery occurred
at Nonteer this afternoon about D
O'Clock. Three men rode IN the little
village, two OF them going direct to
the store Of Charles Mcclellan,
which also contains the Post Office.
while the Other was stationed IN the
street to keep guard. One OF the
robbers at the store pointed rifle
and overawed those present, telling
the people to turn out their pockets
while the other gathered the pro-
proceeds. They also robbed the
Post Office of the cash box.
Among those held up were G.. e..
Davis, principal Of the school, who
lost $65; Mrs. Mcclellan, John Lit
tie, Joe Layton and another man.
Rev. Louis Dehis, pastor Of the
NJ. E. Church South at Monteer, was
standing on the depot platform, and
one Of the robbers made him give
up all he had.
After robbing the people one of
the men covered the bystanderF,
while the others took possession Of
NcClellans horses. After their
work vas done they left in the di-
rection of Mountain View. The
men are all mounted and heavily
armed. From their conversation it
is thought they intended to hold up
the passenger train going west, which
WAS due at 5:l1, but so many people
being in town they were evidently
afraid to try it.
They were recognized as the men
who called at the store the day be-
fore and bought some tobacco. When
they robbed Davis of so be asked
them to divide, and the highwayman
handed him back SIS.
