Just think Of it--over 30, 900 letters are
sent to the dead letter Office at Washing
ton each day. They are from all sorts Of
people and from all parts Of the world,
and in many cases they contain money or
valuable papers.
Twenty clerks are employed to open
these letters, and 1t keeps them busy all
the time. The object is to see II they con
tain money, money orders, checks or any
other article of value. II they do, every
effort is made to return them to the sender.
When clerk finds money In letter, he
Immediately writes the amount the date
and his name on the back Of the envelope,

times success crowns his efforts and some
times the puzzle cannot be solved. The ad-
dress on the envelope, the name Of the ex-
amining clerk, the amount Of money and

HAS A BAD NAME. ---
Story Told the Court at FarmInsten Of 0eInOs
Of Philip Ross.

Pennington, Me-, Feb. 9.-Philip Ross,
alias Louis Philips, was placed on trial
In the supreme court yesterday, on
indictments for burglary and felonious
assault on John Malvin Blaisdell of
New Sharon. The prisoner is a small
swarthy and unprepossessing Corsican.
He was the center of interest, especially
as the story told by Mr.. Baisdell was
quite graphic. The story of the affair
is as follows: On Sunday night, Sept.
81 last year, about 10 o'clock, the house
of Mr.. Blaisdell, four or five miles from
New Sharon village, was entered by two
men, who had evidently intended to rob
the house, as Mr.. Blaisdell lived alone.
The latter met the men and ordered them
out with threat that he would shoot.
One of the burglars fired from revolver
twice. missing him both times. Blais-
dell then reached for an old rife which
had been loaded with shot and pieces
of lead for over two years. When one
of the burglars lighted match to locate
the farmer the latter discharged the
gun. When the smoke had cleared away
Blaisdell saw that one Of the burglars
was dragging the other put of the house
Mr.. Blaisdell did not 60 to the mans
assistance and the man was placed in
team and driven away. This team was
stolen the same night from the barn
Of Charles II. Gage in New Sharon.
About midnight the proprietor of the
Central House at Belgrade Mills was
aroused by a passing vehicle. Going
outside he found a man wrapped in a
blanket upon the piazza. This man
proved to be the prisoner, and he was
covered with blood with bullet hole in
the jaw, the right hand riddled with
small shot and his face badly burned
by powder. The next day DR.. Meyers
amputated the mans right thumb.
After weeks care the man, who was
identified as Philip Ross, was taken
to Pennington Jail. He disclaims hav-
ing done the shooting himself and re-
fuses to say who his pal was.
Ross is about 4S years old and lost
his left arm in a whitecap shooting
affair in Texas. In his younger days
he was an employe of the Suez Canal
Building company, and afterwards led
q wandering life, picking up smatter-
Ing of many languages. He is believed
to have a prison record in this state.
Very little defense was offered. The
case will go to the jury today.

When Hunger Gives Zest.

I have not lost all taste for an al fresco
feast In camp style, but there are pleasures
OF many kinds and they arc not always
comparable. only draw the line at those
messes called clam chowders, fish chow
ders and the nightmare provoking clam
bake. These may be classed as coarse feed
ing, but l have had as delicious trout, ven
ison and other game served in camp as
ever tickled a tongue. Yet a service in
courses, the varied products of the viue-
yards the fruits and desserts-I like all
good things; but the best of all is good
company, whether In evening dress or
flannel shirt. Yet can't admit that camp
cookery excels the best hotel cookery, tax
Ing each on its merits outside of sentiment.
We deceive ourselves In this. We come in
hungry enough to eat bear before his
skin is on and hunger Is the best Of
sauce"
You have often come into camp with q
string of trout and had to clean and cook
them before you could eat supper. You
stuck stick in the gills with bit of pork
In the mouth and stood them up before
the fire and turned them when necessary.
When you thought they were done, you sat
down and ate them half raw and half
burned, and your hunger prompted you to
say that you never ate such trout before
I'm your life. IL trout cooked I'm that same
way were set before you In restaurant,
you would reject them as unfit to eat But
the memory Of camp dinner with an ap.
petite only six hours old, but very large
for It's age, has halo around it that should
properly encircle the appetite Though
not a taxidermist, 1 have stuffed several
thousand first class appctites, but never
could preserve one.-Fred Mather In For.

Wearing Ont Needlesslx.

Many people wear themselves out need
lessly. Their conscience is a tyrant. An ex-
aggerated sense of duty leads person to
anxious, oeaseless activity, to be constant
ly doing something, overpunctual, never
idle n second of time, scorn to rest. Such
are In unconscious nerve tension. They
say they have no time to rest, they have so
much to do, not thinking they are rapidly
uniting themselves for probably what
would have been their best and greatest
work In after years. York Ledger

Throughout the entire distance the char

chiseled them ON the surface of the

THE NAME CAME BACK.

And For Awhile the Doctor Could Not
See the Humor of It.
1t is familiar contention among
psychologists that an incident once
thoroughly presented to the human
mind cannot be effaced from the mem
DRY. In this connection DR.. Cyrus Ham,
lin, the we'll known missionary to Tur-
key and the founder of Robert college,
Constantinople, is reported by the Wash
ington Star as telling humorous story.
Among DR.. Hamlin's friends and
substantial helpers was a Philadelphia
gentleman, whose name could not be re-
called by the doctor, who was then in
Turkey. Every incident connected with
their interviews even to the street and
number OF the house in which his bene-
factor had lived, was as plain to the
doctor as if the events had occurred but
yesterday, but to save his life he could
not think of the gentleman's name.
AS time went ON this failure of mem
DRY caused him serious annoyance, and
he adopted all sorts of expedients to
bring back the name. He would take the
letters Of the alphabet one at time and
think over all the surnames he had ever
heard, but to no avail Then in his
imagination he would start down the
street where his friend had lived, enter
the house, go through the ceremony of
introduction and repeat word for word,
as i,itrly as he could remember it, the
conversation which had taken place be-
tween them, but still he could not recall
the name.
When, after 80 years, he returned to
his native, land ON visit, he took the
trouble to go to Philadelphia, in order
to settle the question which had been
puzzling him so long. He visited the
house, but found only strangers, who
could tell him nothing of the people
who had lived there so many years be-
fore. So finally DR.. Hamlin abandoned
the search, thinking that here at last
was a case where something had been
thoroughly presented to the human
mind, and as thoroughly effaced.
One night, after he had returned per-
manently to this country, he attended
large dinner where were several dis
tinguished psychologists. During the
6NtulDB tuc COuNtIodblOu buIuSu UPON
the subject of memory, and the well
known scientific principle was discussed.
This was too good an opportunity to be
lost, and DIR. Hamlin proceeded to relate
his experience at length, as an example
of the opposite kind.
He was, of course, listened to with
great interest, and as he approached the
end of his story he said, with great inn
pressiveness:
Gentlemen, there was an incident
presented to my mind more than 40
years ago, and have not been able to
think of the name Of Captain Robinson
from that day to this "
When his climax was greeted by
hearty burst of laughter, the worthy
doctor looked round in great astonish-
ment, for he thought he had told
pretty good story and could see nothing
in it to provoke mirth. 1t was some time
before tho truth Of the matter dawned

THE ISSUE NOT SETTLED.
Republican Party Cannot Remove the
Money Question From Politics.

Republican Party Cannot Remove the
Money Question From Politics.
The people made the money question
the issue, says the Kansas City Times,
and the politicians were forced to take
it up. p.
That issue is not settled. The 8, $780,
900 people who yeted for Bryan do not
feel that the verdict obtained by the
combined influences Of greed, corrup-
tion and fraud is q fair or q decisive
one, They believe that battle 30 nearly
drawn as that fought last November has
more Of hope in it for bimetallism than
discouragement
The action of the Hanna committee
in deciding to close its headquarters and
not to agitate the. currency question
rather indorses this view of the situation
than otherwise. 1t shows this continu-
GUS campaign threat of the Republicans
to be bluff. The action of Hanna's
committee is powerless to remove the
currency issue from politics. Whether it
grinds out and distributes gold litera-
ture or not is of slight consequence to
the final determination Of the question.
The Republican party is on trial If
its single standard currency proves in
operative in bringing about the promised
return to the prosperous conditions
which obtained in the country when
gold and silver shared equally the money
functions of the country, the voters will
make short work of them and their I'M
sound currency views the first time they
get chance to go to the polls.
