again astonished when, attempting to
raise the monster up on his stick, he
was unable to lift it from the ground.

place where the immense weight was
located. They took from its body an old
boot leg thonged together at each end,
and containing something so very heavy
that they could scarcely lift it. Great

cutting open the boot leg it was found
to be filled with gold coins from 81 up

The only plausible explanation is
this: 1t is we'll known by parties living
here that during the late war a party of
oushwhackers buried boot leg full of
gold somewhere on Walnut Greek.
The monster was found near small ra-
vine, where it is supposed the gold was

THEY SHOULD ENJOY LIE

Gardeners, and above all, farmers,
have no business to live meanly or to
think of themselves as obliged to drudge
ceaselessly without the indulgence of
other classes" says the Practical
Farmer. Gone has no business to see
town folk having early vegetables and
berries month before his tardy supply
comes on, to be out of them in dog-days
before the merchants and cheap board
ing-house keepers in the city have be-
gun to see the end Of fresh things; he
has no need to live on doughnuts and
boiled dinners the year round when 9TH
ers try the changes of spring lamb,
fresh fish, boiled chicken, salads, ducks,
and green peas, capons, and veal, until
the turkey time comes again. He ought
not to see town homes fragrant with
flowers. while his wife has only bunch
of syringas or cinnamon roses. with a
tuft of asparagus, to sweeten the parlor
when she thinks to pick them. What
better right have rich men to sit over
desserts and choice pears, plums,
grapes, and apricots, while he must
content himself with Baldwin apple in
midwifery"
Oh, yes, he has right to all the lux
urles in the category of self-indulgence;
but he would rather sell his vegetables
and live on salt pork. Yes, "one' has
business to see town folk having early
vegetables and berries a month before
his tardy supplies come on The town
folk pay dearly for them, and the
farmer, rafting his dimes. Lastens home
and swallows a piece OF SOW. After
gathering up the eggs and sending them
to town-after robbing his children Of
delicacies which they have helped to
produce, he will tell you that the
farmer is the most independent of men.
After selling three.quarters of cord Of
wood and receiving pay for a cord, he
will tell you that city people are rob-
bers and that the farmers are the
favored children of God. The writer
Of the "above sentiments" appears to
think that some dark conspiracy has
been laid against the farmer; that the
town folk have organized themselves
into band to rob the farmer Of his
early berries. When the farmer be-
comes predetermined, when he be-
comes less grasping, his wife may eat
early vegetables and spring chickens. =

THE 1yESr pOIyr ,I,.CKE EFT.

It is said that the main reason for the
movement to change the uniform Of the
men in the first class at West Point is
that they damage their systems with
the present gray Jackets. These jack
cts are cut almost to corset tightness
in the first place, and since they don't
wear out as fast as the cadets grow they
naturally get tighter and tighter every
few months. The women have taught
the boys to be very proud OF the slim
waists that distinguish the corps, SO
that each fellow hangs on to his jacket
as long as he can. It is said that one
day when cadet fell into the water his
commanding officer ordered him to take
off his jacket and wiring it. The youth
did SO, and displayed beneath it moth
ing but an undershirt, with cuffs and
collars pinned to it. An investigation
followed, and showed that whereas
most of the bigger boys had been
obliged to discard their shirts, there
were even some who had to cut away the
lower halves of their undershirts in order
to button their jackets around their
waists. This will not surprise soldiers.
In every country there are swell regi-
ments that achieve good looks more OF
