Sharpshooters of the Revolution. Aa soon as a pioneer boy was bis enough to Jevel a rifle he was given powder and ball to shoot squirrels. After a little practice he was required to bring in as many squirrels as be Lad received charges under penalty of a severe lecture or even of having his Jacket "tanned." At the age of twelve the boy became a fort soldier, with loophole assigned him from which to fight when the settlers rallied against an Indian foray. Growing older, he became a hunter of deer, elk, buffalo and bear, skilled in trailing and in Utilizing cover, capable of enduring long marches through trackless mountain forests. At night he was content to curl up in a single blanket beside a Btuall tire and sleep under the roof of Leaven. If it rained, in a few minutes he built him a lodge of bark or boughs with no implement but his one pound tomahawk. Incessant war with the Indians taught him to be his own general, to be ever on the alert, t- keep his head and shoot straight under tire. Pitted against an enemy who gave no quarter, but tortured the living and scalped the dead, he became himself a stanch fighter who never surrendered. The wilderness bred men of iron.

Registered Mail Pouch Cannot Be Found by Postoffice Officials.

AS NOTHING WAS SENT BUT REGISTERED MAIL, IT IS THOUGHT MANY VALUABLES ARE GONENO CLUE TO DISAPPEARANCE.

The Churchyard Yew's Secret. "Why are yew trees found in cemeteries only?" said a forester. "Why, all over the world saving here, where they don't exist do you find in cemeteries great yews of immemorial age? Antiquaries have tried to attach some druidic significance to the matter. Yews grow in churchyards and nowhere else; hence they were sacred to the dead in the time of the Druids, and it was as erroneous to plant them in your garden as to plant tombstones there. I have exploded that superstition. On a walking tour of England one summer I asked every farmer I met why he had no yews on his place. The answer was always the same: 'Do you think I want to lose my cattle?' or 'Had one, but cut it down. The beasties got "at It, and yew leaves is poison to the beasties.' Yes, that is the secret of the churchyard yew. It grows only in cemeteries,' because the farmers have destroyed it everywhere else, its leaves being injurious to live stock." New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Los Angeles, Cal., June 11. Reluctant admissions made by the post office officials of three cities confirm to some extent the belief that the disappearance of a registered mail pouch somewhere within the hirisdiction of the Kansas City, (Mo.) postoffice last Saturday night will prove one of the biggest hauls in the history of the postal department. From private sources it was learned that a package of at least $50,000 in currency was among the contents of the pouch, which carried, in addition, an unusually large number of letters and packages containing money and other valuables to an amount which can only be conjectured, but which may reach $50,000 more. The pouch was in transit from this city to Xew York and the postal inspectors who have had the caso in charge for at least forty-eight hours refuse any explanation of the manner in which it was lost. That a pouch of value has disappeared was admitted by the department at Washington by Postmaster M. II. Flint of Los Angeles and by Inspector W. J. Vickery attached to the Kansas City post office, who appears to have the case for investigation. There is reason to believe that the $50,000 package of currency, which will undoubtedly prove to be the largest individual loss, was a shipment made by a Los Angeles bank to its New York correspondent. Postmaster Flint of Los Angeles admitted after being shown the dispatches from Kansas City that he had been notified of the loss, adding that the responsibility of the post, office for its deliver.- ended when it was locked in the presence of witnesses by the registry clerk and delivered to the railway postal employes. It is admitted that the registered pouch that has disappeared left here over the Sante Fe railroad the morning of June 4 and was due in Kansas City on Saturday.

Washington and a Dog. While the British occupied Philadelphia and the American force lay in winter quarters at Valley Forge, one day as Washington and his staff were dining a fine huntiDg dog which was evidently lost came to seek something to eat. On its collar was the name, "General Howe." Washington ordered that the dog should be fed, and then he sent it to Philadelphia under a flag of truce, with a letter reading: "General Washington's compliments to General Howe. He does himself the pleasure

to return to him a dog which accidentally fell into his hands and by the Inscription on the collar appears to belong to General nowe." The British commander in reply sent a cordial letter conveying his warm thanks for this act of courtesy of his enemy.
