Office, but as disguised conqueror.
He had defeated know not how many
district attorneys; he had dlned at I
know not how many public dinners he
had been heralded in know not how
many Weekly Arguses; and 1t was ru-
mOred that he had an army behind him
and an empire before him. 1t was q
great day-his arrival-to poor Nolan.
Burr had not been at the fort an hour
before he sent for him. That evening
he asked Nolan to take him out in his
skiff, to show him a cane-brake or q
cottonwood tree, as he said, really to
seduce him; and by the time the sail
was over, Nolan was enlisted body and
soul. From that time, though he did
not yet know it, he lived as "A Man
without a Country"
What Burr meant to do know no
more than you, dear reader. 1t Is none
Of our business just now. Only, when
the grand catastrophe came, and JET
ferson and the House of Virginia of
that day undertook to break on the
wheel all the possible Carences Of the
then House Of York, by the great
treason trial at Richmond, some Of the
lesser fry in that distant Mississippi
valley, which was farther from us than
Puget Sound Is today, introduced the
like novelty on their provincial stage,
and, to while away the monotOny Of
the summer at Fort Adams, got up, for
spectacles, a string Of court-martials
on the officers there. One and anOth-
tried, and, to fill out the list, little No
Ian, against whom, heaven knows,
there was evidence enough, that he
was sick Of the service, had been will
ing to be false to 1t, and would have
obeyed any order to march anywhither
with anyone who would follow him,
had the order only been signed, by
command Of His Exc. A. Burr" The
courts dragged on. The big flies es-
capped, rightly for all l know. Nolan
was proved guilty enough, as l say |;
yet you and would never have heard
of him, reader, but that, when the
president Of the court asked him at the
close, whether he wished to say any.
thing to show that he had always been
faithful to the United States, he cried
out, In fit Of frenzy:
"D-n the United States! wish
may never hear Of the United States
again."
I suppose he did not know how the
words shocked old Colonel Morgan,
who was holding the court. Half the
officers who sat In 1t had served
through the Revolution, and their
lives, not to say their necks. had been
r1sked for the very idea which he so
cavalierly cursed in his madness. He.
on his part, had grown up in the West
of those days, In the midst Of Spanish
plot" "Orleans plot" and all the rest.
His education, such as 1t was, had
been perfected in commercial expedi-
lions to Vera Cruz, and think he told
me his father once hired an English
man to be a private tutor for winter
on the plantation. He had spent half
his youth with an older brother, hunt

WILL RESTRICT
USE OF TIN CANS
For Sixty Days All Supplies Will Go
to Packers of Fruits and
PerishabIes.
(Ry Associated Press.l

Washington, May 17.-American
consumers will have to deny them
selves canned beans and canned soups
Of all kinds for a time, under a deci-
sion of the war camp committee
which cuts off the supply Of cans to
packers of those foods. A committee
comprising tin plate makers, can man.
ufacturers and Gamers and govern
ment officials hold that the shortage
Of tin makes 1t imperative that cans
be supplied only to packers Of perish
ables and Of food absolutely necessary
to the national existence.
The order will be effective for sixty
days or more and will be put into
operation despite the declaration of
the bean and soup packers who say II
means ruin to their business. All cans
will go for the time being to packers
OF fruits and perishables.
Soldiers at the front in France, 1T
is held, must use canned products be-
cause OF lack of cooking facilities. No
cans will go hereafter to packers OF
products who can substitute other
containers. No tin will go to the pack
ers Of a hundred different kinds OF
toilet articles and many other COM
modities.
