husband had mysteriously disappeared.

The clipping from the Walla Walla
paper, coming at this time suggested
that the Albert Lee mentioned might
be Herbert Lee. The Chronicle called
UP the proprietor of the Stanley music
house by telephone and learned that
the theory was correct. MI. Lee was
not in at the time, but the proprietor
stated that he arrived in Walla Walla
Saturday and began work for the
house Monday morning and that he
came from Portland and was the man
mentioned in the Portland papers.
Later Mr.. Lee called up the Chronicle
over the long distance telephone. APP
parently he had not seen the papers

by the report.

ed monitor Scorpion, which was being
towed by the ocean tug Powerful from
Bermuda to st. John, N. B., foundered
and sunk in gale and terrific sea
about 10 miles off the Georges bank,
near Cultivator shoal, recently. The
captain and entire crew of IA men
on the Scorpion were rescued by the
tug. The tug Powerful with the Scor-
pion left Hamilton, Bermuda, June 10.
Rough weather was experienced from
the first. and Capt. Russell of the tug
soon became anxious for the Scorpion.
Capt. Russell threw oil on the water
to make 1t easier for the Scorpions
small boats to come alongside the tug.
The first boat launched with two men
was upset, but the men clung to the
boat and were saved. Then the 9th.
ers got to the tug in the small boats.
Capt. Harding of the Scorpion was the
last to leave her. The men on the
Scorpion were nearly all from Boston
and they went to their home as soon
as that city was reached. The Pow.
erful has crew of 12 men. and they
one and all say they never experienced
anything like the trip from Bermuda
to Boston.

Liberty Bell Got Lost

BCston--The Liberty bell was the
centre, focus, sun spot and head and
front of interest in the military and
civic parade in Charlestown on the
18th.
Mounted on dray, with never a
shred of bunting to hide the adver-
tisement of the teamster, or wreathed
over its old bronze, and guarded by a
detachment of Ancients, the bell was
dragged by 13 great horses all blank
eted in the colonial colors, and wear
ing each the name of one Of the orig
inal colonies, through the streets of
the city from the south station and so
to Charlestown, where it lost its way.
A great host of people, all those in
fact who watched the parade from any
point along the upper part of Bunker
Hill street or Main street, missed see
ing the historic relic entirely. 1t was
the feature of the afternoons parade,
and hundreds had come in from the
suburbs for the especial purpose of
seeing it, only to go home disappoint-
ed. For when the parade got O cer-
tain dnstancc up Main street, behold
the bell was not in it.
1t was invisible to most of the peo-
pie on Bunker Hill street, likewise,
and was no more seen until it turned
up smiling, with its faithful guard still

The Burro.

In the west the burro may be
bought as low as IS. The majority
of them bring not less than $40 or SIS.
In the localities where they are en-
tensively used cne man may be found
with a hundred of them at his com.
mand. Burros vary in color, as they
also do in weight. They may be found
weighing 1000 pounds. Again, they
may weigh but $50 pounds. A good.
sized mule will weigh 1900 pounds
thus, in comparison, being double the
weight OF the burro.
