Stranger Than Fiction.

The Nashville Advocate says were
the story OF Samuel Burdette woven
into a novel, it would be pronounced
fiction of the most crude type. 1t Is
the truth, nevertheless; and there are
many who rejoice chat vindication
has come, even thonfh it be 80 years
late, and that suspicion has been
lifted from a worthy man that he
NAV stand spotless before his fellow
men in his declining days. Thirty
years ago Samuel Burdette, a regis
try clerk in the postoffice at Peoria.
ILL.,, put a package Of registered let
ters containing $500 into e. mail
sack and billed it to its destination.
When the sack was opened the pack"
age was missing, and suspicion fell
upon Burdette. Owing to the con-
fdence reposed in him by his super
iors, Burdette was not prosecuted,
but was retained in his position fol
two years longer, when he entered
the ministry and was sent to Asia as
a missionary. For several years past
he has been pastor of a church in
Springfield, Mass, loved and honored,
but occasionally reminded Of the
missing registered package. A few
weeks ago a veteran mail sack found
its way into the government repair
shop in San Francisco, and under
meath the lining in the bottom was
found the package, where it had been
hidden from sight for 80 years. I'm
probable as the story is, its truth
has ben vouched for by the postal au-
thoritieS
