to Long Island City man, a travelling
salesman for a New York shoe house, to
demonstrate in most unique manner
the safety of Uncle Sans mails. The
experimenter, ". T. Geissinger, was here
several days ago, and the conversation
with salesman of foreign birth turned
upon the alleged dishonesty of the United
States postal servants. Geissinger at
once took up the cudgel He said the
service was the best on earth and he
would prove it.
Il can send this silver dollar through
the mail as it is and my young daughter
will get it tomorrow" he said.
''YOu nor your family will ever see the
coin again, was the sneering answer.
Geissinger pasted slip OF white paper
on one side OF the dollar, on which he
wrote the address of his daughter, and,
taking it to the postOffice in company
with the cynical salesman, placed a cent
stamp on the bare face OF the coin and
rendered it to Assistant Postmaster
John bowers as merchandise"
Postmaster Charles Sheets told him it
was all right, and Geissinger received a

Took Most of Them.

London, March IL In the house to-
day was read news of the last great en-
gagement IN South Africa, Gen. Delarev
capturing Gen. Lord Methuen, four guns
and 1900 men.
when 1t was announced that Gen.
Lord Methuen and four guns had been
captured by the Beers commanded nv
Gen. Delarey, the news came like a
thunderbOlt in London. Bitter remarks
were passed on the subject of the gov
Dment's declaration that the war in
South Africa was over. The news came
too late to affect business on the stock
exchange but excited curb dealings
quickly followed the closing, in which
South Africans slumped heavily. The
news caused great excitement in the mine
market.
Ihe news was received in the house of
commons amid great excitement. The
reading of Lord Kitchener's telegram
was listened to in deep silence. which
was broken by loud Irish cheers. In
stantly there were cries of Shame"
Shame" from the government benches.
Then the Irish members seemed to think
better OF their outbreak and suddenly
subsidized
The feeling OF depression in the cor
rldors OF the house of commons over the
news OF the disaster was very marked
Belief was widely expressed that the
Beers will not fail to take advantage of
Methuen's prominence to hold him as a
hostage for the safety of Commandant
kritziDgel and other BOer leaders now
IN the hands of the British.

Making Money in Prison

A remarkable example of cunning has
been unearthed in one of our large pris-
ons. A convict had perfected die and
was making silver dollars, and distribut-
ing them through accomplices on the

very much surprised at the discovery,
but no more so than the person who re-
ceives a counterfeit article in place of
the genuine. 1t is therefore very i'm
portant when you ask for Hostetter's

years the Bitters has been recognized as

never tried it. Try it at once.

Seldom a ripple of gaie!y breaks the

But once In the age of a cat an event

frowned behind the screen of his desk.
The judge was in his chamber and the
business of the day was waiting for his
appearance.
Suddenly the door to the chambe:

up expectantly for the judge. His eyes
twinkled and he motioned Clerk Heinz
