wanderings of a Diamond.

An interesting story is going the
rounds of the jewelry trade relative
to the wanderings of a $l00 diamond
1t seems that the jewel was placed in
a small box. marked Value SlOO,' and
given to a boy to take to an express
office. after fir"+ mailing some letters
in the mail box In the lower hall Oi
the building. The boy was given
cent with which to pay the revenue
tax, and when the boy returned with
the penny and was asked about tas
diamond he decided that he must have
dropped the box with the letters in he
mail box. and then the trouble begll
One man was sent to watch the cOl,a-
ton of the mail in the lower hall and
another man was sent to the DOStOfi,s
TO explain the situation and to obtain
the help of the pOstOffice officials N
the recovery of the missing box No
trace of the little package could be
found, either in the mail box or at 'he
postoffice, and it is said that many Of
the postal clerks went home that night
feeling blue, to say the least. The box
was addressed to a business firm IN
Providence, and the next morning act
ter carrier appeared before this man
and said:
This is funny thing. Here's some
thing marked Value $1OO. and there's
no stamp on it except one for postage
due"
The citizen, as he opened the pack

We'll, that's pretty good. There must
be lot of honest men in the postal
service. I'm much Obliged to EN-.
They've saved me lot of money IN me

a Valuable Sword

Perhaps the most precious sword in
existence is that of the gaekwar of Ba-
roda. Its hilt and belt are incrusted
with diamonds, rubies and emeralds,
and it is valued at s1,100,000. The shah
OF Persia possesses sword valued at
$4,000. His father wore it on his first
visit to Europe. There are some costly
swords in India, while both the cZar
and the sultan possess jeweled sabers
of great price The most valuable sword
in England is the one presented by the
Egyptians to Lord Wolseley. The hilt
is set with brilliants and is valued at
$4,000.

The Last Cent

The treasury OF the United States is
in the habit OF collecting the very last
cent that is due. regardless of what it
may cost. A Deputy Collector of Har-
rodsburg, KY, received orders to go
out to the western part of Anderson
county and collect a balance of two
cents. He waited a few days until
other business required his attention in
that locality and then received and re-
ceipted for the coveted two cents.

The Twin City turner excursion and

Minnetonka, next Sunday, June Is, will
be a great event. The advance sale of
tickets has been very large. Reports
from New Tim show that tickets are
selling rapidly at that end and that the
attendance from New Ulm alone, to say
nothing of the many stations between
there and Lake park, from a of which
excursions rates will be in force, will be
very large. There will be brass BINDS
from st. Paul and Minneapolis and posi-
bly, one from New Ulm also, so there
will be good concert and dancing music
all day on the picnic grounds and in the
pavilion Ample arrangements have been
made, so that even in case of rain the
programme can be fully carried out in
the two large pavilions. The picnic
grounds will be especially arranged for
this occasion and more stands and
