Schaer saved five ounces in a

bottle was dropped into his bag and
forgotten. Curiosity to know what
the stuff was led Schaer to show i;
to a druggist, who offered $73 for
the contents of the bottle.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Grom Our Regular Corresspondent.)

washington ID. y. Dec. IL, 1910.
One Of the moves of the warehouse
mems association will appeal to
every one who has to face the pro-
blem Of the increasing cost OF food
stufs without corresponding in
creaseof salary. They have petition
ed the Government for q federal cold
storage plant. This will necessitate
an appropriation of 81 900, 600 and the
plan may or may not be well work
ed out. But the idea is to throw
the government in between the peo-
pie and the food trust which uses
the cold storage plant to enhance
prices. Practically every article Of
human food is now subjected to the
cold storage method of preservation
and it is the ability to keep any
thing from eggs TO beefsteak for o
year without spelling that enables
the Beef Trust, which handles a
great many things beside beef, to
dictate prices both to the producer
and the consumer. Ii is mostlikely
that the government cold storage
idea will never come to anything,
but It is writhiug of the worm in
an effort to turn. Possibly by the
time the country is reduced to meat
once a week as luxury there will
be some better idea than the govern
ment cold storage plant turn up and
stand q better show OF passing.

1t develops that there are more
roads to fame and competence than
being born in Ohio. graduating from
Harvard or having served in the
Rough Riders. Il is rumored that
the President is about to appoint
bat" Masters on his personal body
guard in place Of Mr.. Tyree, made
United States Marshal of West Vir-
ginia. There is no indication that
the President is threatened with
any particularly pressing danger or
that he is more than commonly nerv-
Gus. But he does love a man who
is light on the trigger. Masterson,
the famous ex-sheriff of Dodge City,
only recently came 10 New York to
accept the post OF Marshal there.
But he has recently had q couple of
conferences with the President and

IL is more than possible that be will
be picked TO succeed Tyree. Bat"
always was handy man with gun,
but he was decidedly on the square
and he held down the delicate and
difficult post of sheriff in the days
when it was said that there was mo
law west of Omaha and no God west
Of Dodge City" The chances are
that if he becomes a special secret
man he will never have TO crook a
finger on a trigger. But be is a
man who has proved his ability to
do that when required. and the Pres
ident has an especial fondness for a
man whe is def in that direction.
