Over $4,000, Missing Since Deem
Der II, 1905.

Postof1ce Inspector Reddy, who was
here today, reported that while in
Lexington yesterday he found a mail
pouch under the Southern railway de-
pot. 1t has been lost since December
II last, and contained over $4,000 in
checks and cash, besides a quantity of
other valuable mail. =
Mr.. Reddy stated that a long slit
was cut in the pouch. but, strange to
say, the contents were unmolested.
There is no clue to the party that
placed the pouch under the spot. MI.
Reddy said that traeers had been sent
out ever since the pouch was missed.
He is OF the opinion that the purpose
Of the one who stole it was robbery,
but why it was not accomplished has
been explained.
Most of the checks were for the bus
mess men of Lexington and some of
them could not have been duplicated

MAUI OF THE MUCK RAKE.

Maud Muller on a summers day

Her pa was o a man of wealth,

Signing, she said: "Confound the luck

Because she toiled, a wild unrest
And an eager longing filed her breast.

cried,
while others scorn me in their
pride"

Their backs On me are proudly
turned"

She was plump, and he rather liked

He thought: How sweet a. name is

He spoke of railroad stocks he had,
The maiden listened and was glad.

He said, I'll be a millionaire.

Today she is the Judges wife
And lives IN style, enjoying life.
And oft she wonders in her pride.
Why people can t be satisfied.
"Why,". she complains, do critics

So fcolishly into the rich?
why do they ever scold or sigh
Because the things they need are
