I know one man, a radical labor-leader, whose morals happened to approach those of the average capitalist politician, and who was prevented by threats of exposure and scandal from accepting the Socialist nomination for President. I know a dozen others who were shadowed and spied upon; I know one case myself a man who was asking a divorce from his wife, and whose mail was opened for months.

"By the Salvador yesterday." "And the next mail for Honolulu?" queried Armstrong, rising from his chair and handing back the folded letter. "The next mail closed an hour ago, man. The China sails at two. No other boat for a week. Where are you going now?" "To camp for ten minutes, then to the Presidio."

Louis a late valentine in shape of a big snowstorm. As this occurred seventy-five years ago, there were no street-cars in St. At all events, Charley had walked down, and now he was trudging back with the mail. His father was very anxious to see that mail. It contained the Eastern papers, and these probably would add to the tidings printed in the St.

The story of the lioness which one night attacked one of the horses of the Exeter mail has been told so many different ways, that I am glad to copy the correct account from Captain Brown's "Popular Natural History": "She had made her escape from a travelling Menagerie, on its way to Salisbury fair, and suddenly seized one of the leading horses.

But how're you going to get across the river she's running high now." "Oh, I'll git across the river, all right," grumbled Creede. "Born to be hung and ye can't git drowned, as they say.

"These all came yesterday morning by mail, one to each of us just as the one came to you," he informed Mr. Latham. "Mr. Harris here, of Harris and Blacklock, learned that I had received such a stone, and brought the one he had received for comparison. We made some inquiries together and found that a duplicate had been received by Mr. Stoddard, of Hall-Stoddard-Higginson.

This accomplished, Anderson Rover set off and that was the last any of his family had ever heard of him. Was he dead or alive? Hundreds of times had the boys and their uncle pondered that question. Each mail was watched with anxiety, but day after day brought no news, until the waiting became an old story, and all settled down to the dismal conviction that the daring explorer must be dead.

Later in the day a compatriot, inspired doubtless by the morning’s experiment, confided to me that he had hit on “a great scheme,” which he intends to develop on arriving. Ships provided with the parent fish can free one every twenty-four hours, charged with the morning’s mail.

The last man who talked to Clark; the ranch to-day. That sort of thing." Bassett went on doggedly sorting his mail. "You take it from me," he said, "the story's dead, and so is Clark. The Donaldson woman was crazy. That's all."
