SAILOR RECEIVED WINDFALIA
He Expected Only s175, But sea0
Was Redeemed.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Washington, Aug. 16.-James Brown OF
No. 25i York street, Brooklyn, a former
sailor In the navy, has received from the
Treasury Department nearly $500 that he
believed he had spent after the fashion
Of sailors when they return from a cruise
and receive their discharges. Connected
with the restoration of this sum to Brown
is one of the most interesting stories sur
rounding the redemption OF mutilated
money by Uncle Sam.
Early this month Acting Controller Of
the Currency Kane received a package
from New York said to contain green
backs. II was sent by Brown, and seemed
TO be nothing except a wad of dirty paper.
although the figures 100, 10 and 20 were
noticeable. The wad was gummed as Il
with mucilage, and could not be sepa-
rated without tearing the alleged bills into
fragments.
Accompanying the package was letter
from Brown stating that the package rep
resented hts savings as a sailor, and that
he believed the amount to be Sl75. He had
carried the money in a belt around MS
body. While cruising about Cuba in the
war Brown wore his belt into the water
while swimming. The salt water and glue
in his belt had changed his money into a
compact wad of dirty paper.
The letter presented such an honest
story that Schreiner, acting chief clerk
Of the currency bureau. determined 10 have
everything possible done TO Identify the
bills, so that they could be redeemed. One
OF the expert women clerks began the
task. After soaking the wad In warm wa
ter and working carefully with IL she pro-
duced bills having an aggregate value of
$780, all in lawful money.
As Brown only claimed SIZE. the bills
could not be redeemed without further
explanation. One Of the mutilated bills
was a hve-dollar national bank note, and
the others were silver certificates. Treas
ury notes, etc. After a conference with
Treasurer Roberts, II was decided TO ask
Brown to give a better explanation of the
matter and to satisfy the officials that
the money belonged 10 him

GAMBLER ON VIOLATIONS.
Purposes Enforcing Sunday Laws in
His Circuit.


His Circuit.
Atlanta, Aug. 1S-Judge Gambler, in
filming G. NJ. NJ. Snlder and James Osler
$50 each in De Kalb Superior Court for
doing business on Sunday at East Lake,
paid his respects to the Atlanta police
commissioners. Snider plead guilty to the
charge of selling sandwiches, soda water,
bathing tickets and cigars and Osler to
running a shooting gallery on two Sab
baths in the month of May.
In sentencing the men Judge Gambler
said that if the grand jurors of each
county would do their duty the Sabbath
would be respected, and the constant in
roads being made, he said, on the Lords
dav. would end. 1t was not a matter OF
CITY regulation. the judge said, as some
people seem to think. The laws of Geor-
gia prohibiting all business and all work
of every kind, except works of necessity
and charity.
Men car battle on Saturday night, he
said and men can buy cigars and tobacco
on Saturday. Soda water was not nee
essity and any man who ran his fount
on Sunday and sold drinks of any kind
was a violator of the law, regardless of
what any city council or board Of police
commissioners thought about 1t. The
legislature had prohibited such work,
continued the Judge and no city council
could under the constitution of this state
punish or forbid. The law may be blue"
said the Judge but he would make il blue
for some of them who violated 1t. He
said il was law Of the state, and in his
circuit would be respected.

CARIBOU CEMETERIES.
Places Where the Animals Go to
Shed Their Horns and Tinal-
lY to Die.

A recent number of Forest and Stream
contains the following contribution
from n Quebec correspondent concern
ing the habit moose and caribou have
of going to the same place, season after
season, to shed their antlers:
"The idea of the animals seeking
definite place for this purpose was quite
new to me. but lately the efficient SUI
perintendent of game and fisheries at
Quebec, L. q. Joncas, ESQ.,, has told me
that they do frequent such places, and
that this habit was quite we'll known
to him. He knew Of many and men,
toned several places where horns could
almost certainly be found at any time.
And not only do they go to shed their
horns, but they go there to Gle. These
places are known as cemeteries, and
whole skeletons are occasionally found.
This, however, would be rare. as the
bones would usually be torn apart and
scattered by bears and other carnivorae.
"Mr. Joncas instanced the case of n
gentleman going to certain region fer
geological exploration, who asked for
| n permit to shoot moose out OF season,
in order to get good pair of antlcrs.
He was told that by diverging q little
| from his route he might reach place
where he could And plenty of them.
| lie did so and secured five excellent
| specimens"

When a cattle rush comes in the
blacklist Of the night, among thick
standing, low .imbed trees, with the
nature Of the country unknown and
invisible, requires the finest and fierc-
est quality Of horsemanship. As he
lodges, swerves and clings to the
saddle to avoid mutilation from the
rushing. trees, he must see to it also
that his horse wins in the lead of that
laundering multitude beside HIM, if
hand and spur can compass it. And
when he does the maddest of the dam
ger is to come. The riders hands
must do double duty now as he let's
loose the whip and guides the horse
as we'll. The route must be turned
and directed against itself. The horse
is dragged inward, the whip Kisses
and falls; the man silent until now,
opens throat and lungs IN the stock
mems battle cry. If the leading cat.
tie swerve and turn, carrying confu-
sion among the rest, breaking the di-
rectuese OF the rush, it is the fiercest
moment OF the drover's life. AS the
beasts that come rushing blindly on,
feel the scorchiug of the thong on
head and flank, and hear the note of
the mans supremacy that they have
feared since branding time, the eddy
spreads.
The blind rush becomes a mael-
strom, the maeletrom spreads into ed
dies of confusion-the clash of horns
and huge muttering sounds. Then
the herd settles down and spreads
out. When the sound arises of the
big muzzles blowing and nibbling
the grass, the horseman knows that
his danger is past. Low down in the
embrazure Of the woods white
planet burns. 1t is the herald Of the
dawn.-Harper's Magazine.

White Races In the Tropic.

The Indian Medical Record does not
believe in the acclimatization of the
white race in the tropics. 1t holds that
the lowered death rate in hot countries
is not an evidence to the contrary, but
rather that it shows it is only after
elaborate precautions have been learned
that it exists. 1t is rather proof of the
inability of the white race to colombo
that is, to labor and undergo constant
exposure in the tropics. 1t is absurd
tic say, it claims, that reduced death
rate directly due to the careful avoid
ance of every possible exposure is an

NOT A SPECULATION COMMODITY

The time has gone by in the West
for irrigation water to be used as a
commodity for speculation. In the
early days the title to water supply
or the prospect Of getting it was used
as means to enhance values and in
many cases to sell land to strangers
themselves eager to invest; but now
water is needed to legitimately irri-
gate land 80 that 1t will yield it's pro.
ducts which must be sold in the face
OF constantly increasing competition.
Water, therefore, should be no long,
er used as speculative medium. It
should be made available to the con-
sumner at the actual cost of the con.
struction and operation Of necessary
distribution works, and without cost
for reservoir storage. 1t has been
generally demonstrated, during the
past ten years, that there is but little
profit in private storage enterprises.
for, while the advantage to tho COM
munity is great, the owners of the
plant do not reap the full benefit.
Tho practicable and fair method and
tho only one which will be absolutely
successful is the building of reser-
voirs by either the General or State
Governments, with the free use of the
