When the authorities discovered a
shortage of about forty thou
sard dollars in the accounts of Col
lector Welborn of San Francisco, a
U. S. evenue officer, be promptly
jumped tn country and was found
somewhere in tn army under and as
stunned name. He was caught and
dragged back to court where he has
had three trials and is now acquitted
by a jury.
A large amount Of money is miss
ing and his bondsmen are being sued.
OF course his levanting when his
crime was discovered and his long
fight to evade trial had nothing to dc
with his guilt. Oh, no.
Some months ago a soldier named
Resser shot and killed a man named
Hilderbran in San FraHcisco and was
Of curse promptly acquitted. A few
days ago he got his gun out and
shot another man under similar Cit
cumstances in the East. The jurors
who let him off now have time to in
dulge in reflection. Before long Vel
burn will fall into some good, respon-
sible position and get into his old
habit of stealing and there will be
another shortage and another flight
and then the jurors who acquitted
him al sit down and reflect what a
joke they played on the next fellows
who trusted him. The prac,1ce OF
only convicting murdere1s and thieves
for the second offeHse Is far from be
ing a good one.

DR.. Haskell Derby.
''The Sunday Question" is the title of
a paper contributed for the October
Forum, by Canon Farrar, Dean Of Can
terbury. The author trusts that the
paper shows that he Is not what is called
strict Sabbatarian; but he regards the
question of how to keep Sunday as one
of grave and national importance. The
Dean points out what he considers some
of the ndisputable blessings which
might come from regarding our Sundays
as happy interspaces amid the cares and
labors of the world. We are called upon

which has been granted to US all; II

They like to drink water without
ice.
They would rather walk upstairs
than take an elevator.
They use ordinary portable bath
tubs in place of stationary porcelain
or metal ones-such as we have.
What seems to Us the funniest
thing of all is tAlt they absolutely
prefer chicory in their coffee.
1t is easy enough for any one to
get adulterated coffee in this coun-
try. But the good housewife watches
carefully that she IS not thus i'm
posed upon.
Those who have learned by ex-
perience and wish to be absolutely
sure that they are getting pure coffee
and the best coffee, without a grain
of adulteration, ask for and insist
upon having Chase < oanborn's
Coffees.
There is none better on the mar
ket. Every bean has been carefully
selected from plantations, famous
for their coffee crops.
The fact that these coffees bear
the seal of Chase & Sanborn is in
itself sufficient guarantee that they
are full weight and in every way
perfect.
Seal Brand Coffee comes in one
and two-pound tin cans, and their
other high grades in richly colored
parchment-lined imported bags.
