for thou knowest not what day may

account of himself to Goi.'
The preacher briefly gave a sketch of

be acting very strangely. The old gen.
tleman talked In the most incoherent
manner and also was suffering from
the effects of a great deal of coughing.
The patrol wagon was called ana the
man taken to the station. There he was
searched and many papers were found
in the pockets OF his coat. The papers
showed that he had been discharged from
hospitals in st Louis, Chicago and
Ora nd Rapids, Mich. 1t was indicated
that his name was George Burns. Sew
eral of the memoranda stated that he
was a graduate with honors OF the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, and that he had
severed In the war Of the rebellion on the
battleship Essex under Commodore
Porter At the close of the war he was
employed as an engineer on steam boats.
His age is stated to be O3 years. The old
gentlemen had very little to say. This
morning his case Will be more thorough
ly Investigated.

shares in her and are now congratulating
themselves at the promptness of the
Mallory line. The money has already
been paid over to Percy g Small.
The long spell of Sunday weather so
suspicious for outings and recreation on
the water was broken yesterday and the
usual crowds on Commercial street and
at the wharves were notably absent CIV
ing things an almost deserted appearance,
save on the corner where the Salvation
Army held its accustomed meeting. or
course the stated excursions were for the
most part abandoned on account Of the
storm and island travel was light.
The Waltham, one OF the largest and
handsomest OF our ocean tugs arrived and
the Gettysburg departed.
The Alice Howard has gone to Ports
mouth to carry passengers to the war

A Good Thing About Letting the People
Knnw


If you've something to sell that re-
ally interests them, is that they'll
come and investigate. Human nature
is much the same the world over, and
if you tell them of it curiosity and
self-interest will cause them to lnves-
tigate.
Telling of it in your advertising is
the economical and surest way to ac-
quaint the largest number, for all
readers are buyers and the most intel
ligent and most profitable class of pat
rons. The great men who best succeed
are those who persistently and intelli-
gently advertise, who keep their light
trimmed and burning, who tell the
people of the values.
Telling it to the Leader passes it
along at once to the better class of
buyers-those whose patronage will
give any store prestige, whose buying
is profitable.
