DIGGING FOR TREASURE.
A NorthpOrI Man Searching for Captain
Kids Money.

In June last w. S. Card arrived here from
California, and soon after bought piece of
land in Northport, on the shore of the bay,
part of the farm of Captain Z. F. Cunning
ham, says the Belfast Journal. II was
reported that Mr.. Card was going into
poultry raising on large scale. A portion
of the lot was graded, shanty put up for
temporary occupation, and a lot of fowls
bought. When haying was over it was said
that house and out buildings would be
erected. but nothing was done in thi. direc-
ton. and about a week ago Mr. Card return
ed to California accompanied by his wife who
had Joined him there during the summer.
1t Is now learned that Mr.. Card has had
man employed for weeks boring for buried
tr, asure: and it may safely be assumed I'M
successfully. \ sX-i"Ch augur was used
which bor,d t. h lep,h of eight feet. Mr..
Gard used to pe'di i his part of the State
many years ago, out went TO California in
1919, where he has since resided. 1t is sup
posed that when here he heared the current
stories concerning the treasure buried by
Capt. Kidd on the shore of the bay, and re-
turned to endeavor to unearth it. There has
been a good deal of digging for Kidd's money
along the Northport shore, but the diggers
have thus far had their labor for their pains.

Mechanics Who Rise.

There is a large sized nugget of
truth in this from DR.. j. M. Buckley's
series of Letters to Young Men," in
the New York Christian Advocdte:
"Benjamin Franklin told the truth
when he said that the best knowledge
a man could give to his son was the
mastery of good trade. Such man
is cosmopolitan. He can make him.
self useful anywhere, and he can live
anywhere. If it should not be neces-
sary always to work at his trade, he
feels the ability within to support
himself. Between the average me-
chanic and the great manufacturer or
merchant prince, great numbers can
be found who began as mechanics and
who have taken positions by their
mechanical skill fully equal to that of
the average merchant and far SUPER
ior to that of most clerks and profess
sional men.
Always have in view rising above
the position of mere journeyman.
Look at things from a broad, business
point of Yew. Consider that some
day you may not be iourneyman
and try to study the relations of capi-
tol to labor, and TO master the prin-
ciples of business, so that, if you
should ever form partnership with
a business man, you will not be at
his mercy, and so that, if you choose,
you may at any time enter upon busi-
ness for yourself, and not fritter away
your life in a vain effort to overcome
by mechanical skill financial OBJ.
