HOW HE KNEW.

About o %swindling Dodge.

About o swfndling Dodge.
A great man once wrote: '.After the
sting of folly has made men wise, they
find it hard to conceive that others can
be as foolish as they have been." An
amusing instance of this occurred re-
Gently, at a country agricultural fair.
There was q man on the grounds
wrapping ten and twenty-dollar bills in
small packages of cleansing compound.
The packages containing the bills were
then thrown loosely into a box contain
ing a number of packages of the com
pound alone. '.For only one dollar,
gentlemen," the spectators were allowed
to select six of the packages, with
''almost an absolute certainty" as the
glib vcnder said, ''cf drawing one or
more of the packages containing the
bills"
1t really seemed an easy thing to pick
out the valuable packages. The Soap
man did it easily. But, strangely
enough, none of the bystanders could 10
it. One man spent five dollars, and
drew forth nothing but thirty packages
of the worthless soap.
Walking moodily away, he met d
neighbor, who ~accosted him thus:
"Hello, Johnson! What makes you
look so blue?"
"Oh," replied the detected johnson,
''I'vc lost five dollars in that plaguy
soap mans scheme"
"Well, WE'LL" said Ncighbor Smith,
''I'm amazed that Il mas of your age
had anything to do with a humbug Of
that kind"
II don't b'lieve it's a %humbug," said
Mr.. johnson. 'I'm out of luck, that's
ALL"
'.BaA!' was Smiths contemptuous
retort. ''It's a glazing humbug clear
through"
"How do you know it isp" asked
johnson.
"How do I knowp Why. man, any
one with eyes in their heads ought to see
that. How can Il man sell twenty-dol-
lar bills for q dollar?"
'Wcll, it looks fair enough" said
Johnson, doggedly.
ooh, yes sneered Smith, and then
added. p~atronizingly. ''But don't you
be deceived by looks, Friend Johnson.
l could have told you long ago that the
man was IL fraud"
"How did you know?" persisted john
son.
This seemed to mettle the crudite Mr..
Smith, thoroughly, and he angrily and
thought!essly cried out:
"Know, man. know? How do I
know that he's a scoundrel? Why, man.
LIANT l lost five dollars on the
thieving trick myself?'
To this might well be added Horace
Greeley truthful remark: 1.-THE gloom
lest day in any mans career is that
wherein he fancies there is some easier
way of getting a dollar than by square,
y earni4git.' Youths Companion.

A CURIOUS BANK.


The Treasure Trove Found by a PennsyI
vania Carpenter.
Some years ago, an old wooden
bridge spanned the Schuylkill river al
the foot of Penn street, Reading, Pa.
In the course of time a more substan.
tial structure was deemed necessary,
and the timbers of the old bridge were
carefully taken apart, and reserved for
use in repairing and rebuilding the
smaller county bridges. While pre-
pairing some of this old timber for its
new use, few days ago, it became
necessary to saw of several feet from
a heavy piece, which was TO be used as
a girder in a small bridge under con-
temptation. When the end portion
dropped to the ground, the workman
was astonished to hear a jingling sound
as of gold and silver coin. A sum
mons of such good omen insured
a speedy investigation, which re-
suited in finding eagles, half
eagles, silver dollars, halves and
quarters mixed together in careless
confusion. The source of supply was
found in a section about eighteen inches
in length and five inches deep, which
had been followed out of the log with
auger and chisel. An inch-thick cover
had been fitted over the opening so
cleverly and sealed with so much care
that detection, other than accidental,
was hardly possible. The treasure had
been confined in a home-knit wooden
stocking, and as the saw cut of the toe,
a part of the contents was discharged.
The value of the deposit, though re-
ported to be considerable, was not
made public. The money was probably
hidden away number Of years ago, as
specimens Of three, five, ten, twenty
five and fifty cent scrip, nicely folded
up in piece of writing paper, were
among the contents. Not line indi-
Gated the ownership. The question Of
possession is consequently divided as to
whether it should 60 to the workman
who discovered IL, the owner of the
timber, or the county. The finder piob-
ably inclines to the first suggestion.

LoNoFELLoW'S YOUTH.

The Dlsoouragements Which the Young
Poet Had to Overcome.
Hawthorne once said in speaking Of
his own early life and the days at Bow
doin College, where he and Longfellow
were in the same class, that no two
young men could have been more un-
like. Longfellow, he explained, was a
tremendous student, and always care
fully dressed, while he himself was ex-
tremely careless of his appearance, no
student at all and entirely incapable
at that period of appreciating Longfel-
low. Later in life warm friendship
grew up between them, and l find a
little note from Longfellow in which he
says he has had a sad letter from Haw-
thorne, and adds: II wish we could
have little dinner for him, of two sad
authors and two jolly publishers, no.
body else!"
OF Longfellow's student days Mr..
Fields once wrote: II hope they keep
bright the little room numbered twen-
ty-seven in Main Hall in Bowdoin Col
lege, for it was in that pleasant apart
ment, looking out on the pine groves,
that the young poet of nineteen wrote
many of those beautiful earlier pieces,
now collected in his works. These
early poems were all composed in 1924
and 1925, during his last years in col
lege, and were printed first in a peri
odical called the United States Literary
Gazette, the sapient editor of which
magazine once kindly advised the
ardent young scholar to give up poetry
and buckle down to the study of law!
mo good can come of it, he said; don't
let him do such things; make him stick
to proseF 'ut the pine-trees waving
outside his window kept up perpetual
in his heart, and he could not
choose but sing back to them. Mrs.

SPRING COSTUMES.


Duf"B uhe winter season,
New costumes for spring and sum
mer retain the general effect of thost
now worn, with basque. bouffant skir'
and combinations of two materials
The principal changes are in the drap
cry, and in an attempt to lengthcn shor
skirts, making those of street dresse,
barely escape the ground, while thost
for the house touch the floor The
plaits across the back of skirts, instead
OF being abandoned. are increased in
number from three to six, the added
ones being very short, and set in only n
few inches below the belt, so that they
may take the place of the warm haii
cushion, though thus cushion is still
used by many French modistes.
The foundation skirt remains about
two yards and n quarter in width. The
lower skirt of the dress material is very
full and straight, being almost regu-
lar Mother Hubbard skirt and is Wis.

CHAPTER VIII

So, with British will that made the row
locks creak like an iron door swinging ca
harsh hinges the oarSmen in the CleOpatra :
boat flung their backs at the facing spray,
and drove the wedge Of their boats bow into
the blast Of the wind and the ebon hills in
their path
Right under the moon. and In the broken
simmer of it on the water, lay the man-of-
war brig bowing to the land like some rest
less colt finging furious heels at the wind
Urged by six heavy blades, the boat ate
her way stuhbornly; dashing the surging
spray in sheets and souses until she was
awash, and the backs of the men lustrouS
for the dreuching
Meanwhile Cuthhert had recovered the use
Of his brain, thanks tO CopiOus splashlnS.
soon after the boat showed off.
Behulding the stars and flying clouds, and
feeling the jump and wobble Of the sea in the
strain and ache of his own timhers he i'm
meliately comprehendei the dreadful char
acter Of the misfortune that had befallen him,
and raising his voice attempted to address
himself Ia the young gentleman in the cloak
who was steering the boat but was instantly
silenced by kick and promise of a fiogging
If he opened his lips,
You cannot be aware" began Cuthbert
Hold your jaw, you lubber here came
the kick
~Sir, yOu're-7
~By the Lord, you shall be fogged until
your back is As green as<Cour brains, you
villain, if you move your tongue again"
So there was no help for Cuthfert but to
resign himself to broken-hsarted contempla-
ton Of this bitter divor e from the woman Of
his love: and with his hands bound ne re-
Clined, knawing his lips with misery, and
watching with distracted eyes the land they
were leaving while the foam few in his face
and the gale in his ear howled down every
movement Of hope,
In this condition Of mind was he when the
boat went rolling alongside the brig.
1t was something to see the big and brist-
ling hull stoop TO the upward leap Of the
boat Ii was as though a mother leaned
down TO embrace her little one.
Briskly the crew handed up the prisoners
then sounded the keen pipe of the buatswain;
and while the boat SCARED to the davits the
I,awls of the capstan jerked out a music on
the gale like the hammering on an anvil
while the furnace roars With quick leaps
and runs, and the disciplined rush, and the
steady pulls Of the men nof-war's men, the
anchor was cat at-headed. the yards dropped
their dim spaces Of canvas, round swept the
shore lights and down lay the cruiser 10 the
wind And then YOU heard the souattering

Much, undeniably, thcre was i'll Cuthbcrt's
POSITION to make him miserable Could Lieu
tenant Transom have promised TO put hlm
ashore next day. the young fellow would
have plucked up heart and swuny his glass
like a man. but there was a bitter prospect of
his detention lasting, with risks Of death be

send his story to Jenny. ;, aTCr could he
hold up his head pleasantly as Iransom trlci

or rather, he was a very bad one.
Such a night as Cuthbert pasS.d a man had

presented himself

in his box on the deck that kept CuthIcrt
staggering.
This invitation was. Of course, promptly
accepted, and in a few minutes Cuthhrrt fol
lowed the marine into a large cabin with a
ceiling garnishel with small arms, stout
lockers around their seats, charts on the
walls and table laid for breakfast Here
he found the first and second iieutennntS.

Drowned faces, both with the hearty, open
