tate in the San Gabriel Valley near
Los Angeles. Along in 1894 it became
known that Mr.. Baldwin was in need
of money, and presently he began to
sell pieces here and there of his grand
estates in California. Lucky was not
living up to his name. To-day, the
owner of land enough for a small prin-
cipality, he finds trouble in laying his
hands on a 500 bill Mr. Baldwin has
been living in San Francisco pretty reg
ularly for the last three years. He is
now 20 years old and is showing his
age. He Is by no means the picturesque
man he was when his VOlante was
king of the turf. But Lucky" is a
pretty good man yet. even if he is los
ing his millions. Among all the shrewd,
wise men who became bonanza kings
and millionaires in the brisk days of
California there was none shrewder
or wiser than Baldwin. He has played
many parts in his time and played all
well. He has been a canal boatman,
grocery man, hotelkeeper, brickmaker,
liveryman. theatrical manager, turf
man, mining operator. farmer, and al
ways Spectator. He has been able
to manage and direct five or six big
businesses, from magnificent stable
of race horses to a gold mine. hotel,
ranch, winery, vineyards and brick
yard. He may not leave as many mill
ions behind him as he might once have
left. but there is hardly any danger of
his going to the poorhouse.

In one of the soldier boy letters from
San Francisco it is recounted that a COM
pany of farmer boys recently arrived at
listment. Very much to the surprise of
the officers, who regarded the men as the
strongest and most rugged looking of any
in camp, 20 out of 90 were rejected OH ac-
count of heart disease and rupture. The
examining surgeon advanced the theory
that farmer boys were put at heavy work
too young.
Whistling is practically unknown

CHINESE sPANIeLs POPULAR.

Quaiut Little Creatures that Bring Big
Prices from Dog Fanciers.
The quaint little Chinese spaniel is
the latest fad of the dog fancier There
was once a statute making it crime
punishable by death for common per-
son to be found with one of these dogs
in his possession, and even now their
price makes them luxury for the rich.
They have been bred in their present
purity of blood for more than two thou
sand years, and there is legend that
tiny black and white spaniel was the
trusted companion of the wise COnfu-
cius and sat at table with him.
The great round wall eyes, the short
upturned nose. the bushy tail and the
silky hair are the distinguishing points
of the Chinese spaniel. The more wall
eyed a dog is the higher price he can
command. The colors are white, black
and white, brown, and brown and
white. The dogs are extremely small,
and are hardy, affectionate and very
intelligent. The Blenheim spaniel of
to-day is far different animal from
the dog of the time of Marlborough,
for about a hundred years ago they
were crossed with the Chinese spaniel.
This cross added to their beauty, but
marred their health. for it is now al
most impossible to get Blenheim that

Origin of Postage Stamps.

The incident which resulted in the
invention of the postage stamp was a
curious one.
A traveller journeying through the
north of England CHANGED TO reach the
door of an inn just as a pOStman stop
ped to deliver letter. The young girl
for whom il was intended came out to
receive it. She turned it over and over
in her hands and asked the price of the
postage. The price demanded was Il
shilling. and as the girl was poor she
returned it to the pOstman, saying that
it was from her brother, but that she
had not that amount of money. The
traveller, in spite of her protest paid
the money to the postman and handed
the letter to the girl. When the post
man departed the young girl admitted
that she and her brother had arranged
by certain marks upon the letter that
the other should know that the writer
was in good health and prospecting.
I'VE are so poor" she added, that
we were forced to invent this way of
letting each other know of our well
fare"
The traveller continued on his way,
asking himself if system giving rise
to such frauds was not vicious one.
The sun had not set before Roland
Hill (such was the travellers name) had

IMMUNES TO MOVE.

RAYS Regiment Has Orders to Get Ready.
The Exact Day of Starting Not
Yet Known.
Rays regiment of immunes, to which
Lieutenant l.. G. Hoyl, Jr., and a dozen
or more other Dawson and Terrell
county boys belong, has been ordered
to prepare to move on a days notice
from Macon to Cuba. The Macon Tel
graph tells of the order for the removal
of the regiment as follows
Directly after the regimental drill
yesterday afternoon at Camp Price
Colonel Ray summoned to his quarters
all the majors and captains of the
Third regiment and informed them
that he had just received orders from
the war department. to be prepared to
| start for Santiago de Cuba at a davis
| notice. He said that rations will be
issued hereafter for one day, and that
no more leaves of absence will be
granted. He urged the officers to en-.
force all regulations strictly, so that
there might not be delay when the or
der to move should come
AS soon as the news became known
there was great cheering in the camps.
and there were more letters written
home during the next few hours than
during any week since the regiment
was organized. All were glad that
they were soon to see real service, and
it is safe to say that it will not require
very many hours to break camp when
the order to move shall come.
None of the officers or men seemed to
be worried at the thought of risking
the dangers of disease at Santiago.

pounds and is so fat that it cannot rise.
1t is 10 feet TWO inches in length, four
and half feet high. It's owner has re-
fused $500 for it, thinking that he can
make more by taking it from place to
place and us ng it as show. The hog
is of the Berkshire breed crossed on
