The departments in Washington re-
ceive some queer letters. Below is
given verbatim letter received last
November by the bureau that has
charge Of the bonds of mail con-

get OF bond. It is unique. The last
sentence contains a valuable sugges-
ton to others who dislike to receive
disagreeable news. especially on busi-
ness matters. The letter tells how he
signed the bond merely to oblige a
friend and then continues with this
personal history:

MONEY THAT WENT BEGGING
One Of the Most Curious Cases In tho
History Of the chaneery
Courts.

Perhaps there is no more curious
chapter in the history Of the chan.
Gerry courts than that Of two Pitts
burgh men. The first had claim to
. small estate abroad, but he did not
have the money to pay the claim
agency to make search. So he got a
friend to back him. This friends
name was Peterman, and the money
he advanced was like grubstake-he
was gambling on his friends claim
proving up. One day. when Peterman
was at the claim.agency Office, he
came upon this advertisement in the
agency files: "Peterman (Albertus),
musician, born II Amsterdam, 1929.
son Of Charles Frederick and Henri.
eta Suzanna Gasman. Left for Liver.
pool. 1856. He 10 sought for inheri.
lance by M. Contot, advocat. 81 Bou.
1evard st. German, Paris" That was
the inception Of the famous "Kinsey
docks" case. the name coming from
the fact that the original Peterman
was last seen at the Kinsey docks in
Liverpool. The claim agency took the
matter in hand. traced Peterman's lin.
cage back, and enabled him to estab.
fish a good claim to an Inheritance of
100000. That was a case of fortune
being thrust upon man.-Lewis Ed.
