and Half Ago Returned.

1t will be remembered that on
the night of July 13, 1899. the
post office in this city was entered
by burglars and robbed of money
and two cent stamps, the latter es-
timated at about S35. Last Mon
day while working at the old
brewery building which is being
remodelled. teamster by the
name of Greenwood found pack
age containing $50 worth of two
cent stamps, Office Thomas heard
of the discovery and after an in
vestigation decided that the stamps
had been stolen. He accordingly
demanded the surrender of the
goods and this morning they were
turned over to Postmaster Ram DO.
The Stamps were wrapped up in
Florence Refner bearing date of
July ., 1899, and T. j. Days
name was written on the marlin.

time the paper was picked up at
the depot by the thieves.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

If you want to sell list your prop
erty with the agent whom you
think will do business for you most
satisfactorily-one to whom peo-
pie come to buy-one who adver-
tises literally, far and wide, for
customers, and treats them right
when they come, and one who will
show your property to the custom
ers.
If you want to buy, go to the
same one-h he knows titles. You
want clear title.
If your property or life is not
insured you are taking chances
long ones Most of us can't af-
ford to take them. If you can't,
go to the agent who knows the in
surance business and is response
bic citizen. Don't fear you won't
get the lowest rates-he don't let
business get away from him by

is to that tribunal, of course, that the

the historian will settle down to the
documentary evidence concerning the
Spanish war, and impartially and fear
lessly assign praise or blame. We
know, for example, what the historians
now say Of Polk and the Mexican war.
Will not their verdict on Mckinley and
the war with Spain be fully as un-
pleasant reading for Americans fifty
years from now? We fear so. Parti.
san newspapers today will not even
print the evidence. A busy and care

will do it's whole duty, will let moth

colonel JOnn >. MOSDy, the famous
Confederate ranger whose command
was for years menace to the North
and one of his friends was reminded
Of n characteristic story concerning
the famous fighter, says the Saturday
Evening Post.
Colonel Mosby recruited his COM
mand in Shenandoah Valley of Vir-
ginia. His troopers were all young
men and desperate fighters. Their
record was one that filled with pride.
the heart Of every Virginian, and to
this day monuments are building in
various parts of the state dedicated to
the valor of Mosby's rangers, or "Mos-
by's guerillas' as the NOrtherners
called them.
III view of the fierce warfare that
| was wagcd while hostilitics were on
it was n great surprise to Colonel Mos
| by's neighbors when he came out, after
peace was declared, as a Republican,
and cast his vote for General Grant
as President. In the case of any other
man this would have meant social
ostracism in Virginia, but so firmly
had Colonel MOsby intrcnched himself
in the hearts of his fellow citizens that
even his changes in politics did not
affect their esteem.

ton the former ranger chief was sent
as consul to Hongkong Here he re-
manned great many years. On his
return to America he settled in San
Francisco where he is now practicing
law. After a lengthy absence he visit
cd his old home in the Shenandoah
Valley and was heartily greeted by all
his former friends and neighbors.
Naturally, his greatest interest cen
tered in the members of his old COM
mand, and he made it his business ia
hunt up as many of them as he could
trace.
The first one whom he found lived
in q little parsonage just out of
Charlestown. The former trooper had
experienced religion and embraced the
ministry. Pursuing his inquiries, Col
Mosby found another of his troopers
10 his astonishment he, too, was serv.
ing in the Lords vineyard. The Col.
onel was surprised but he said moth
ing. The next one whom he found
was running grocery store. But the
fourth man was a preacher also, and
so were the fifth and sixth and sev.
enth. 1t appeared, in fact, that a per.
feet epidemic Of religion had swept
over the old command, and that nearly
fifty per cent. of those who remained
alive had taken to preaching the Cos
pei.
The Colonel, who is himself a re-
ligious man. was very much gratified
at this exhibition, and, coming upon a
group Of the ex-troopcrs, .all in minis
terlal garb, he complimcnted them
most heartily, adding:
"Well, boys. If You fight the Devil
like you fought the Yankees, there will
be something to record on Judgment

Mr.. Gates peppery Gargle.

Mr.. John w. Gates, the millionaire
speculator and former president Of the
American Steel and Wire company, had
an experience just before he sailed for
Europe recently that he will probably
remember for some little time. Els
home in New York Is at a Fifth avenue
hotel, and almost any evening, while
in the city, he may be seen in the corri-
doris there, in full dress, and smoking
big cigar. says the Saturday Evening
Post.
Mr.. Gates has a somewhat peppery
temper and on occasion doesn't mind
using language. The agitated times
experienced by Wall street not long
ago by no means softened or improved
that temper, and several Of his init
mate friends determined to take ad-
vantage Of this fact to perpetrate lit
tie joke. One of them presented him
with gargle, which, he was told,
would instantly cure sore throat from
"AINA AO was cOALSA Au6s NcAl ulOlulllk
the jokers, of whom there were six,
lay in wait fer him downstairs, and

mot a bit"
"That's too bad"
Mr.. Gates thought SO, too. He was
walking toward the dining-room, when
the next man stepped up. He, too, slap
ped him on the back and asked him the
same questions, word for word. A
third man came up with the millionaire,

der blades that made his teeth rattle,
and repeated the formula. Mr.. Gates
glared at him after the first question,
but the man wore such bland, child
like expression that there was nothing
for it but to answer his question civil
ly. When, however, the fourth man
came to the front and went through the
same performance MI. Gates began to
suspect something. His back was sore
where his solicitous friends had pound
ed him, and his temper was sorer still.
He turned fiercely,on his 'questioner,
but the latter met the outburst with
perfect calmness, and the assurance
that the "game' which Mr.. Gates sus-
pected had no existence at all.
eff" said number four, 1--WE have all
asked you about the gargle and your
throat, It's because we all heard you
were using the gargle, and, being your
friends, we are naturally solicitous as
to the result"
Mr.. Gates was forced to accept this
explanation. A fifth man then came up.
"John," he said, did you use that
gargle?" and with that he fetched him
a tap which made all the others seem
insignificant.
"Gargle! Gargle" There followed
such an explosion Of verbal fireworks
that the sixth man lost heart and Mr..
Gates was allowed to wend his way in
peace to the diningroom. He was just
stepping across the threshold when
there was voice at his elbow: "O1l,
Mr.. Gates, may see you moment?"
Mr.. Gates, his face afame with
anger, turned on the newcomer and
said:
"What the deuce do you want? Do
you want to know about the gargle,
too? If any more fool questions are
asked me about that gargle I'll lay
somebody outr'
But the last questioner knew nothing
about the gargle. He was a reporter
from one of the evening papers who
had been sent up to find out whether
Mr.. Gates had lost one or two millions
In the Wall street panic. The reporter
was big, red-headed and Irish, with q
temper quite as touchy as that of Mr.
Gates himself, and with willingness
to fight at the drop of hat. When
the steel magnate turned on him Sc
fercely the reporter for moment was
dumb with amazement. Then all the
i; blood in his body rushed to his head
and he said things that made the wait
ers and others standing around look in
stinctively for cover.
1t was Mr.. Gates turn to be stricken
dumb, but he, too, recovered himself
In short order. And then the English
began to fly on both sides. But soon
Mr.. Gates saw that he had probably
done the young giant who stood oppo
site to him an injustice and exclaimed
"Well, thought you We're in the
game about that gargle! 1 guess was
mistaken. Now, what can do 70,
you?"
The reporter stated his mission, and
the two parted very good friends.
