LURKING DEATH FOR
 TURKEYS CONSUL

George Eli Hall, Consul General of Fur key and Persia, has been receiving anony- nous packages for the past week con- taining high and deadly explosives.

 AS yet little investigation has been made, but every effort will be made to de- tect the sender of the packages.
 Hall is a prominent clubman, and has had conferred upon him honors from sev- eraI foreign powers. He is popular in numerous social circles and is unable to account for the strange matter he has been the recipient of for the past few days.

 Stewards crime was an assault on Friday evening upon Mary OBr1en' daughter of one of the Toluca miners.
 Although many in Lacon deplore the lynching there is general impression that the negro was punished as he de- served and the Sheriff seems to think that public sentiment would not justify him in making strenuous efforts to cap- ture the lynchers.

Since there had been no workmen in that building since Saturday night. nearly thirty hours before, the cause or the fire is q mystery. The only ex- planation which Superintendent small can advance is that the fire caught from a live electric wire of the several lines running through the building. Only fragments of the outer walls or the ruined buildings now stand. The railroad officials say 1t Is too early yet to give out information as to whether the shops will sbe rebuilt, or. If so' when; but their importance to the plant as whole warrants the belief that they will soon be reconstructed.

REST.

Let Us rest ourselves biti

Kiss your finger tips and smile
It farewell little whilei
Weary Of the weary way
We have come since yesterday.
Let it fret us not in dread
OF the weary way ahead
While we yet look down-not up
To seek out the buttercup
And the daisy where they wave
Ger the green home Of the grave.
Let us launch us smoothly on
Listless pillows Of the lawn
And drift out across the main
OF our childish dreams again.
Voyage on beneath the trees,
Ger the fields enchanted seas,
Where the lilies are our sails
And our sea gulis nightingsles.
Where no wilder storm shall beat
Than the wind that waves the wheat
And no tempests burst above
The old laughs we used TO love.
Lose all troubles; gain release,
Langour and exceeding peace,
Cruising idly DER the vast
Calm midocean OF the past.
Let us rest ourselves biti
Worry? Wave your hand to it.
Kiss your finger tips and smile
L. farewell little whilel

Strange Money In the Mountains.

"The strangest money ever saw, "
said drummer for a Main street house,
twas in the mountain districts of Ken
lucky and West Virginia. was max
ing my semiannual tour through this
district, and I stopped one day at lit.
tie grocery and saloon. While l was
there a big husky mountaineer entered
the place and called for drink. AS he
finished gulping it down he reached into
a big bulky pocket and drew forth what
looked to be coonskin. He laid the
skin on the counter, the barkeeper took
the skin, and opening drawer hauled
out rabbit skin, which suppose was
the change. The mountaineer picked up
the rabbit skin and started to the front
part of the store, which was the grocery.
He there bought a twist Of tobacco and
rendered the rabbit skin in payment
He received big twist of long green,
and l was surprised to see the store
keeper reach in another drawer and ten
der him a squirrel skin. The mountain
eer tucked the squirrel skin in his peck
ct, walked out, unhitched his horse and
rode away.
81 became interested and engaged the
proprietor in conversation. He told me
that sometimes he would go months
without seeing any real money, and
that the mountaineers used the skins in
all kinds of trades, such as buying
horses, etc. He said that four times q
year hide buyer from Lexington or
Cincinnati visited the country and
bought up all the skins, which were
generally concentrated in the few stores
in the vicinity. louisville Dispatch.
