Post Office Clerk
'CaughtPilferiillg
The Mail

| Louis Theriot was arrested Thurs
day morning by United States post
Office department secret service men,
and was hurried away to New Or
leans on the afternoon train. His
arrest followed various complaints
that money letters mailed in Coving-
ton and others that should have been
received in Covington had failed to
reach the parties to whom addressed.
Postmaster NTheriot, father of Louis,
without the least suspicion that his
son was responsible for the disap-
pearance Of these letters, took steps
to trace them up and to discover
what became Of them. Wednesday
night two strangers, P. U. Smith, of
New Orleans, and G.. o. Johns, of
Ell Paso, Texas, registered at the
Southern Hotel. The bell boy was
asked to awaken them at 4:3O in the
morning, and when he informed
them there was no train going out
that early, he was told that they
wished to take an early morning
stroll to get fresh air. 1t after
wards developed that when awaken
ed they proceeded to the postoff1ce,
where they mailed several deeoy let
tiers for special delivery, with money
in them which had been marked and
the serial numbers taken. They
then watched the Office until It was
opened, followed the mail bag to
the depot, where they opened it and
found that the decoy letter had been
taken out. They then returned to
the postofice, and dumping out the
contents of the waste basket into
box carried it to the hotel where
every scrap of paper was inspected.
The envelope of the decoy was found
torn into scraps, which were pasted
together for Identification. They
then went after Louis Theriot, meet
ing him as he was coming in from
his boat. They placed him under ar
rest and took him to their rooms IN
the hotel, where he was searched and
the money found.
The New Orleans papers Friday
morning stated that young Therlot
had confessed to various thefts; that
he had been arrested by Post Once
Inspectors w. S. Purdum of New Or
leans, and ]. O. Chapman of Beau
mont, Texas. In Covington 1t IS
stated that these men, under the
names of Smith and Johns, had been
here several days sending out decoy
letters and watching the post office.
It is said that Theriot remarked
as he was taken away on the train
that he was not guilty of anything
and that he would be back In a day
or two, but there does not seem to
be any doubt of his guilt.
Louis Theriot is q years of age,
is married and has two children.
He S connected with families of high
standing in Covington and his crime
is greatly deplored here. His father,
Postmaster P. E. Ther!ot, is man
of spotless charater and is respected
by every one. He has the sympathy
of all. As is usual in such cases,
young Theriot was rather fond OF
cards and inclined to be sporty, al
though it is said that for three weeks
past he had not INDUCED in sport
of TIL s. nature.

been revered for the penetration of his intellect and theunself1shness of his soul.
 '"The day may come when the fire Chatham and when Webster's message shall be a commonplace-but as long as men shall kind1e at words of 1oy- atty and earnestness, of eternal wis., dom and the love that passeth un- derstanding@as long as heart shall speak to heart, so long the eloquence of the Gettysburg address must sure- ly live. It's intense earnestness, its profound simplicity, the nobility that make it almost a prayer, were the earnestness, the simplicity, the mo- bi1ity of Lincoln himself.
 Orators in glowing periods have drawn upon their greatest powers to magnify his virtues; historians have placed him in a niche of glory pecu- Har1y his own; essayists have penned some of the choicest bits of literature e around his i11ustrfous name; poets drawing from the treasure-house of imagery. have ennobled his every act; and yet in the last analysis, each and every panegyrist, like the plain nor ta1s that read his life or hear his deeds recounted, place the true foundation of his greatness in the high morality of his character. That morality en- nobled the man; 1t ennobled every deed he performed and every word that he uttered.
 Moral greatness, that rarest of qualities, is the secret of Lincoln. He was too clear of sight to be blind to the great problems of his time; too earnest to the content with half so- 1utions: too patriotic to shrink from pouring out the energies of brain and body in his eountryss service.
 His patience never grew weary; his saving humor never failed; his T-s dence in the al1-Wise Providence, was as abiding as the eternal sea. Lincoln can never be a mere memory; he tions and our hearts-vita1 in those qualities which win mems love and undying reverence. He was one of us, intensely human, buoyant, know ing the joy as well as the terrible earnestness of life.
 seWe can make his virtue our own: we can aim at his moral greatness, at the truth and honesty, the justice and love and reverence which in him found a weII-nigh perfect boise. Ora tor he was and statesman; from out the mighty heart of the nations a greater hath never come. But no tribute bef1ts the simpler grandeur of Lincoln more exquisiteIy than those words of Antony over the dead Bru- tus:

 mercy and charity. and of his pro found love of country, is a never fail- ing source of inspiration to higher and better things in public and private life. His constant prayer and hope that our people should unite in all that pertains to the welfare of the Nation reached it's highest fulhlment when in 1898 men from all sections of the country volunteered their services as soldiers and sailors in defence of our glorious flag.
 "It is eminently fitting that the or- ganization of the United Spanish War Veterans, which commemorates the war in which many of those who wore the Blue and the Gray in 1861 side by side in defence of our country and in whose brotherhood are now gath cred men from every part Of the Union, shall pay tribute to the mem ory of this great man of the people, and give thanks to the Supreme Com mander for the spirit Of unity fin all essentials which dominate the Ma ton and upon which sure dependence can e placed to preserve and protect ov' National honor and integrity

CAPTAIN BRECKBlLL SPEAKS
 FOR SPANISH WAR "VETS"
His Tribute to Lincoln One of Features of Annual Banquet
 of Sons of Veterans

In his tribute to Lincoln for the Spanish war Veterans, Capt. Breck- bill said:
 Abraham Linco1nl Oh, what a man. and what a careerI Just for mo- ment behold this awkward barefoot
 ed, backwards boy at ten trying to do 8 mans part in the woods with
 his ax; living in forest hut entirely
 open on one side; at night dragging
 his tired frame to his attic nest of
 leaves by climbing on pegs driven in
 the logs, to find him ere morning
 sleeping under a. coverlet of snow;
 walking miles to borrow a book and
 lying prone on the floor to read it by
 the light of blazing pine knots; wad- ing through the wintry waters of creek to rescue a worthless dog; guiding flat boat down the Mississip-
 pi; making rails to fence the little farm down on the Sagamon for his father and steprnother before leaving
 them to make his own way in the
 world, before starting out at twenty two on the quest for the road leading 10 that fgurative ladder on which he was destined to climb so high. Step by step see him progress on the toi1- some way, now storekeeper, now sur veyor, soldier, politician and lawyer, but ever and always faithful student good citizen. and honest man; and then follow him as he reaches the pinnacle of his ambition.
 President of the United States; hear him read his concluding paragraph in his first inaugural address when he said: T am Ioath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must mot be enemies. Though passion may l:have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every bat tie field and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the touched, as surely they will be. by the better angels of our nature. See that effort Ito stop the great ravage which was to follow. Then let us go a little further and see this God given man as he closed his second inaugural near the close of one of the b1oodiest wars that the world ever knew, as he I said: with malice toward none and with charity for all; with hrmness lin the right, as God gives us to see | the right, let us strive on to finish the lwork we are in; to bind the nation 8 wounds: to care for him who shall have born the battle, and for his widow and his orphan-to do all things l and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
