HOW PausaniUS Died.

Pausanius, the Greek general, died
by self administered poison. When
hOtly pursued by those sent to appre-
bend him on a charge of treason and
sacrilege he took refuge in the sane
tuary of a temple Unable to remove
him by force and also unwilling to
violate the sanctuary, the officers
walled up the entrance and began to
unroOf the building. When he could
be seen they noticed that he was chew
ing something which proved to be a
quill filled with poison. By the time
the work had sufficiently advanced to
admit of their entrance he was in a
dying condition.

ward him with an expression Of cheer

pretty nigh the shore along halfway
down the coast O. Maine" said Cap
tain Mansfield. y could show you the
house if it came right. It has a Gu
rious lopsided portico on it, and one
day / asked the man that lives there
why it happened to be built that queer
shape.
"'Well.' says he, the talk is that the
that was an architect up Boston way,
and one time the Teller was down here
in terrible foggy spell, and he was
figuring out to his cousin how lie could
build little portico of such and such
dimensions, measuring out into the
fog with his rule, and so on.
"''TWaS in the late afternoon; he
went off next day by train. The fog
still held, and along in the morning
the man that lived here happened to
notice that the. marks Of the rule out
into the fog We're still plain, so as he
couldn't so a-fshing he took some lum-
Der and built the foundations of this
Dortico. That queer jog that makes
it lopsided is where the wind bore il

CAUSED A DEFICIENCY
Washington Editor Says of an Al
legged Piece of Grating on
Postal Device.
PROFIT ON IT WAS 100 PER CENT.
More of the Device Bought Than
Could Be Used-Machen and
Others Again Indicted.

Washington, June %. The Post
says that among the matters which
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
BristoW is investigating is the pur-
chase from a California company, the
, Postal Device and Improvement COM
pany, Of some 1900 letter devices for
indicating the hours of collection of
mail. The invention is that Of the
is said. 1t is also said that 1000
of these devices originally were Or
! dered at cost of 81 or more each, or
a profit of 100 per cent on cost, and
the allegation is made that further
order for 10000 was placed notwith-
standing the original 1909 devices
were not used. but We're reposing in
a stOrehOuse.
Loud Pushed the cheme Personally.
The company controlling the device
was largely made up of California pos
tai employees, and The Post says that
it is informed that eX-Representative

took active part in their behalf and
wrote several letters urging the device
On the department. and in one Of them
said it would be an accommodation to
him if the matter were attended to.
Had No Personal Interest.
After the company had difficulty in
securing its money for the device Loud,
The Post says, appeared at the de-
partment in it's behalf, but specifical-
ly disclaimed any interest in the COM
pany other than that it was composed
Of his constituents. He took the ground
that whatever the necessity or lack
Of necessity for the Device constituents
of his had secured the contract and
furnished the articles called for There
fore, he believed they should be paid
as tho government had stipulated to
pay them. During bis recent visit to
this city, Loud. on certain of his Wis
its to the department. took up some of
those unpaid bills, making it plain,
however, that he appeared only in be-
half Of constituents and not as one
financially interested in the company.
Says 1t Caused a Deficit.
The allegation was made. The Post
says, that $4,000 Of the deficiency of
$1O5.OO0 in the free delivery service
with which Machen is charged was
due to purchases Of the device in QUes-
ton, but at the postotfice department
this was denied. and the statement
made that while the matter was under
investigation. the complaint might have
been reactiOnary and intended against
the investigation. Complaints also had
been made, it was stated, that at the in
stance of Loud the oils at the Preside
had been padded with postal employees,
but at the pOstOftice department they
were without any knowledge of such
thing one way or the other.

1T is known that the events of that
night were carried out by Servian Of
ficers who had resolved to prevent the
probable proclamation of the brother
of Queen Draga as the successor to
the throne. The fact that q woman
was among those who persisted in the
struggle provoked by the attack of an

bic; more so, as her death was by no
means necessary, even though she had
been detested by the whole Servian
people from the moment she presumed
to place the crown upon her unworthy
head.
