Col. j. H. Riley was telling us a
very curious story yesterday, which
seems most unreasonable, but which
he declares to be fact. The story is
to the effect that about twenty years
ago he purchased at second hand
book store in New Orleans rare book
which he supposed to be complete, but
when upon reading the same he found
it lacking quite considerable of the
latter part of the book. Later by sew
eral years he was seeing some friends
in Jackson County, West Virginia, and
in talk on books, he casually men-
toned that he had a portion of very
rare book-naming the same. His
host with much surprise, told him that
he also had portion of the very same
book. He produced it, and the Colonel
took the same, and compared it with
the part he had, and found that it ex-
actly, to letter, fitted his part. TAX
ing into account that the first part OF
the book was bought in New Orleans
and the second part in West Virginia,
it is certainly a remarkable co-inci.
