WHERE THE ROOK WAS HIDDEN.
Hovernment Record* Were Missing
for a Period of Five Years.
From (he Washington Star.
"Once in a while something out of the
usual happens Ip the daily life of govern
ment clerks which serves to break the
monotony of the work.” said n clerk In
the Interior Department. “Occasionally
in all departments records or papers will
mysteriously disappear and how they got
away or where the}- went r. mains always
an unsolved problem. About five years
ago a large book containing the records
used in one of the bureaus of this de
partment suddenly disappeared. How it
could have gotten out of the room without
hands was unaocountable, as it was a
bulky volume. It was of no value as a
salable article and (he motive of the
theft was as inexplicable as its where
abouts.
"Diligent search was made at once, but
to no avail. The search was not given up,
however, and was afterword periodically
made in hopes that it wou'd he found in
an unexpected place. And it was found in
such a place a few days ago. One of the
clerks happened to look upon the srat of
the chair of another clerk—an elderly laay
with poor eyesight—and there, under a
piece of outer covering, lay the big hook.
The lady was a short person and the book
had faithfully pieserved its records anti
held her up for live long and weary y, ars
without complaint. There was a general
laugh at her expense, but the chief was
very glad it was eventually found in the
office.
"Official papers are often blown from
the desks of clerks Into the street. Some
times they are of importance, but usually
they may be replaced with a slight delay
constituting the only loss. A clerk care
lessly laid five *lO bills on his desk In a
room on the Seventh street side cf h?
former Postofficc Department building in
a pay day a few years ago. It was durlrg
a heavy thunderstorm. A minute later
the bills were taken up by a gust of wlrd
and went sailing in all directions high In
the air above the street. Where ih-y
landed was never known, for none was
recovered. The clerk took his loss philo
sophically when he got over the shock
mid said while he had heard of It raining
cats and dogs, he could testify in any
court that he had seen it rain crisp new
*lO bills in Washington.
"One day In this department some valu
able papers disappeared. It was thought
they had been stolen. Several weeks sub
• eOquently (hey were discovered under (hr
corner of a desk occupied by a tomporaty
clerk. She had thought them of no value,
*nd had placed them in this position to
preserve the equilibrium of the desk, one
af tha roller* being loat.",

N AT! IIAL BRIDGE AT At CTION.
V i rftin In’* Wonder to Go I nder the
Hammer of n Baltimore Broker.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Soon there will be a chance for some
one to get possession by purchase at auc
tion of the Natural Bridge of Virginia.
It is to he .old at auction by Henry W.
Rogers, a real estate broker of Baltimore,
and the sale will be without reserve to
the highest bidder, if the advertisements
are to be believed. The rock bridge of
Rockbridge county, Virginia, is regarded
as one of the greatest of natural won
ders. It has rank with Niagara, the Gar
den of the Gods, the big trees and the
Yosemtte of California, the Arizona canon
of the Colorado, and the Mammoth Cave.
It is a single block of limestone 215 feet
high and 100 feet wide. It spans a great
chasm so deep that the aun never enters
its gloomy depths. Under the great
natural arch of this bridge not made with
hands flows a roaring mountain stream
which finds it* source on th* western

It is a perfect bridge. It has fine pro
portions* in the flight of its piers: its arch
is perfect. There are parapets and but
tresses set amid these rugged cliffs. Thou
sands of tourists flock there yearly to
see it. ‘
High above the bed of the stream are
two initials cut deply iivto the face of the
rock. “G. W." George Washington cut
those when but a youthful surveyor of
the wilderness, long before he was known
to fame.
George 111 of England gave the bridge
ro Thomas Jefferson before war times,
together with 2,00 b of the broad acres sur
rounding it. ti fell to his heirs, and af
ter the Civil War a Col. Parsons, a
Northerner, got hold of the natural won
der and fenced it in. After that the
bridge could be seen for revenue only. His
heirs in turn ran the business and made
SIO,OOO a year out of it. Now there is
trouble among them, and they have put
it up for sale—fences, George Washing
ton initials and all.
KVERVDAI LIES.
Uttered by >lot People Some Time
in tlie Twenty-four Hours.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
A hostess who was entertaining a party
of friends the other evening wrote this
question at the top of tin* first page of a
blank book: “What conventional lie is
told most frequently in casual conversa
tion?” Everybody was asked to supply
an answer, and the collection as a whole
was amusing. One man wrote: ‘‘The two
lies we teil oftenest on papeY are ‘Dear
Sir’ and ‘Yours truly.’ The person ad
dressed is seldom dear, and the writer is
never truly his n.” Another replied: “The
commonest conventional lie is ‘Good morn
ing;’ next commonest, ‘Glad to meet you.’
Here are a few others recalled at random:
“I neVer pay any attention to anonymous
letters” is a familiar boast and a familiar
falsehood. “We often declare, ‘if I have
anything to say about a man I say it
right to his face;’ generally we dont.’*
“1 am not in the least superstitious” is
one of the hardest worked lies In the
world; we are at heart intensely supersti
tious.’'

Gentlemen—lt gives me pleasure to
heartily recommend “Infant-Frien I
Powder,” and to give to you a tringu
lar little coincidence connected with
It.
During the Cotton States and Inter
national RxjK>Hiiion I was presented
with a little l>ox of this powilor, and
was so pleased with It that I was ex
ceedingly anxious to get more, but on
looking at the box I found nothing
but Savannah. On., no other address.
I have often wished I knew where
lo gel it. This morning’s mall brought
your circular with enclosed sample. I
immediately referred to my box. .and
found \t was the “Infant-Friend Pow
der.” It is without doubt the beat
powder I have < ver used.
Respectfully,
