NAVAL OFFICERS ARE TRUSTED.
Valuables and Larue Sums of Money
Given in Their Care.
As a retired officer in the royal navy ,
let nie say that up to within a very re
cent period our naval officers admitted
ly made very handsome sums by tak
ing charge of valuables when going
from one port to another ; indeed , there
are officers who boast of having made
more money by carrying vast sums in
securities or jewelry , for private per
sons introduced by friends , than the :
ever got out of the navy otherwise.
And the same thing is done uowndaj's ,
but absolutely as a disinterested favor ,
and "under the rose" so far as offi
cers of to-day are concerned.
I served under a captain who
brought i300,000 in specie from Cadiz
to England , and only gave a note ot
hand for the receipt of the amount , but
I could tell you of scores of similar
cases which show that the faith ol
most foreigners is so great in the in
j tegrity of British naval officers thai
' the former will intrust vast sums with
|
the latter withum eveii any word ol
writing being exchanged. The China
station used to be noted for the very
large sums that could be made by tak
ing charge of valuable belonging to
jreflt ; native mandarins and statesmen
.r conveying such valuable from point
o point ,
I personally know of one case where
a high Chinese .iiicial intrusted the
I captain of a British man-of-war with
har gold and securities worth more
than a million sterling. Only a brief
receipt on a half-sheet of paper was
t given , and the Chinaman could not
personally even read this.
Up to a comparatively recent date it
was looked upon as no dereliction of
luty whatever for a man-of-war to
j arry valuables that were not bulky
. 'or bankers and traders , and even
down to junior officers the "perks"
made in this way were most consid-
erable. As a commander I made over
i.4,000 iii this way on one siation , and
never even gave a receipt for tlu
valuables handed over to me. Aiu' '
quite a dozen different races of men
are comprised within the number ot
examples I have seen of this unbound-
ed faith in British officers. Tit-Bits.

He was but 4 years old , and wTas

young to go to school. His mother
would frequently go to the front win
dow to see what he was doing.
One day when she went to the win h
dow he was nowhere in sight. She
waited there quite a while , but he did
not appear. Again and again she went
to the window , but could get no
glimpse of him. She was becoruing
alarmed when he returned.
He seemed TO be proud of having
run away , but with the pride there
was also an expression of anxiuty. not
to say fear. He did not know what
sort of a reception lie wa.s likely to
get.

His mother sternly asked him where
he had been. "Be careful , now , uud
don't lie to uie , " she said.
The boy's face brightened. "Mara-

ever tell a lie ? "
"No. " was the reply , "and don't you

The boy's face still shone. "Mam

GROUP SCOTTISH CHIEFS
Extreme Modesty of Kansas Reformer Prea
vents an Important Fact Frcm Sooner
Becoming ; Public
Kansas City , Mo. , Feb. 3. Carrie
Nation believes she is a descendant
of the Duke of Argyle , at one time
a mighty warrior of Scotland. Her
claim was made after she had inwl
specced ( a "print" purchased by her
brother , Campbell A. Moore , a dealer
in second-hand goods in Kansas City ,
Kas. The "print" is a lithograph
and it represents a group of Scottish j I
Chiefs in council on tho banks of a
lake. On the lower margin of the
"print" there is a verse of poetry
and the names of the chieltains icrW
trayed. In the left hand corner
Campbell , Duke of Argyle is reprewe
sen | ten1.
When Mr. Moore purchased the
"print" he hung it in his tore and
marked it "for sale , " and .he fact
that he possessed it passe ; ! from bis
mj d. One day last week Mrs. Susan
McLa .hglin of 1'JOO Indiana avenue ,
this city , Mrs. "Nation's cousin , callou
ed at Mr. Moore's place of business.
She saw the picture and read the in-
scription | , "Campbell. Duke of
Argyle. " Then the remarked :
"That is our great-gruat-grand'ath-
er "
Mr. Moore immediately comrnunisir
cated the news to bis wife and other
cam
m -inhers of the family. The "print'
was ; removed to the parlor of the
Moore home above the second hand
store < and tbe relatives nociGed of the
ciSRivery. When the matter was
brought to the notice of Carrie Na-
tion she said she knew she had deE.
scended ( from the Duke of Argvle ,
but that she had refrained from
btm
making the fact public because of
tbe fear of adverse criticism.
Mrs. Moore , whtn asked what he i
knew of the relationship said :
"i understand that Mr * Kate Donfe
eghy of Macon , Mo. , an aunt of Mrs.
Nation , is having a family tree pre
p-ired which will establish the relasw
tionship claimed. "
Perhaps the most ardent advocate i
,
of the relationship claim i5 ? Mrs. Jane i
F. Bradshaw , also Mrs. Nation's i
aunt , who is a member of the Moore i
household. She is eightv-i ine years i
old. When the print was hung in i
tte M iore parl-ir she was one of the j
h'rst to recognize the Duke of Arygle

an spoke the fimily -
blmce. "

the killed warrior before her. "Ilia

Cambridge , 111. , Feb. 4. The First
National Bank at Cambridge was
r.obbed of about S0,0'JO ! at 2 o'clock
thi morning , and within a few
hours the robbers were captured by
the , citizens and marched to tbe
ciunty jail , where they are now
pending an examination. No trace
of , tbe money has yet been discover-
ea' but it will be found in a short
time , as tbe robbers had practically
no time in which to make any great
concealment of it. At 2 o'clock the
city was aroused by the exploison.
After the robbers had started to
work a snow hud commenced falling.
This increased in volume and it was
an easy matter for the posse to trace
tin robbers to a barn two miles east
of the city. The four men were
found buried under the straw and 1
were taken to the jail.
The robbers stole a hand car at
Galva. fourteen miles east and abandi
dl ued it one mile east. They were
evidently making for this car on
which : they hoped to escape , but-were
unable to do this on accouut of the
snow storm prevailing at the time
they should have made their escape.tL
