Creek. and for months before the war he
had been hot on the trail of noted des-
perado wanted for horse stealing and for
murder. More than once the marshal and
his men had nearly run the outlaw TO earth,
only to lose him at the last And all this
made talk throughout the region, so that
bets were made freely on the result, and
the marshal's pride was finally aroused
that he vowed he would never drop pursuit
until he had put halter round the teiiow
neck
things of less moment Were forgotten. A
.antain of the rough riders, who knew the
marshaIs uuflinchiug courage and his skill
as hOrseman. wrote him an urgent lnvi-
tatiOn to join. his troop, ana the invitation
was promptly accepted.
So il came a few weeks later, that this
ex-cowboy. examiner and ex-hunter OF
criminals found himself at Tampa IN Uncle
Sans uniform. And one of the men he met

Poisoned OvcrcOats,

An extraordinary occurrence was report
ed at the meeting of the public works corn-
mittee of the Birmingham city council yes
terdsy. The men employed on Wednesday
to clear the streets of snow We're supplied
with overcoats which, on becoming soaked
by the sleet and rain, apparently gave off
poisonous gas. AS result, a large num-
Der of the men are suffering from poisoned
hands and arms, and have been treated at
the hospital. Sir James Smith, chairman CT
the committee. stated that about sixty Of
the corporation employees have up to the
present complained of the effects of the
chemical dressings of the coats and over
alls, but 1t is not at all unlikely that other
cases will be reported. The garments were
supplied by a Birmingham house, and a
representative of the firm attended before
the committee and explained that the cloth
was obtained from mill in the north. DIR.

the cloth, and he reports that 1t contains
chloride of zinc. The coats, to the number
of 800, have been called In.

FROM the Chicago Record.
The modern postal service. introduced in

already proved great success. and jn
nearly all of the large cities the mail 10
now delivered by uniformed carriers. inst
as II is in Chicago or London.
Ihese carriers. however. assume great
risks and responsibilities. for only the
other day. In the city of Marking. one NJ

served the district in which he lived tn ha
bambooed and cangued. two of the rnost
cruel methods of punishment known To The
heatheh. Upon inquiry by the English su-
per1htendent or the postal service as 10 the
reason Tor such arbitrary conduct IN was
FOUND that the postman had delivered %
the mouse OF his accuser a sealed anonv-
nous letter which contained bits of slime
ing sarcasm concerning his avaiice extoT-
ton, Ignorance, &c. Under the Chinese
code OF justice the carrier who brought the
letter was responsible for it's contents al
though Ii was sealed
1t has always been the rule I'm China 70
punish the bearer Of bad news and reward
the bearer of good news, and the mandarin
proposed to apply II to the modern postal
service introduced by the foreign devils
but the Englishman who has charge of the
postal service finally convinced the man.

sponsible for the insult and secured his re-
lease.
