Speaking of money" said John |. Spen.
Ger, brings to my mind the great find the
Owens family made near Bedford, Ind,
some two years ago. That country is rather
billy and the ground is not very desirable
for agricultural purposes This family had
some 200 acres of land and largely used it for
pasturage. However, about the time re
fer to one of the Owens boys decided TO
cultivate a small portion which he Judged
TO lie better soil than the rest. With this
point in view he began blowing in the
carly spring. In the course Of his work lie
struck Il snag Before turning the pillow
aside he eudeaSored TO drag out the snag
By striking the horse he forced the pillow
only deeper into the earth. The sudden
start of the horse ierked the s,,nken log
loose from the earth and revealed Il heap of
silver and gold coins. He gathered the find
OF coins and removed them to the house,
where he polished up the many pieces and
took an account Of their fAcc value.
"Hhe find included rare old French coins,
both copper, silver and gold; American sill
yer dollars, some Mexican and some coins
OF the Revolutionary period.
The face value Of the many pieces footed
mp $500, but the market value was some
thing like $4,000 The old settlers assert
that the money was left there by some for
mer resident, who feared the approach OF
the Indians. Having buried the money he
probably engaged in II battle with the
Indians ana never lived to return and take
mp the gold. The money no doubt lay un.
der that log for fully sixty years, aud posi-
bly, longer"-st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

GREEN CARPET IN rnEArsas.


a Possible Explanation of tho Origin 81
the Name of the "Greenroom."
When was lad In the painting room
of the old Princess theater, A. d. 1915,
whenever tragedy was performed there
used to be laid down on the stage huge
carpet of green baize. Often and often
have asked the stage carpenter, the prop.
erty man. and even the mighty promptei
himself-he was Mr.. Emden, the father OF
the extant Mr.. Walter Emden, the well
known theatrical architect-what was the
meaning of this theatrical board of green
cloth. But could never obtain satisfac.
tory explanation of the mystery.
Nor, although long years afterward I was
enabled to solve the riddle, can remember
now whether 1t was James Robinson
blanche or E. L. blanchard who enlight-
ened my ignorance. The meaning of the
green cloth was simply this: In the En-.
glish tragic drama the heroes and heroines
are mournfully addicted to dying In sight
of the audience.
Now, in the latter part OF the Seventeenth
century, and during the first fifty years Of
the present one, the nobility and gentry
were in the generous habit of presenting
their castotf drawing room and birthnighi
dresses often made of the richest silk, sat
ins and brJcades, profusely embroidered
with gold and silver, to the most conspicu
GUS among the players; and the dramatisi
artists when it WAS their business to give
up the ghost in presence of the audience
very sensibly objected to having their fine
clothes spoiled by coming in contact with
the not always clean boards of the stage
So it occurred to some thoughtful man
ager to lay down green cloth on which
kings and queens could expire with due
dignity, but without soiling their gay ap
parei.
l have theory-only a theory-that the
"geenroom" mt playhouse derived its
name from the tragedy, green cloth being
kept there rolled in case of need, and that
the green coat" or footman super" was
SO called because it was part of his duty tc
lay down and take up the green cloth

SATURDAY. JANUARY as. 1898.



Tho first month of the year 1898 is
rich in the harvest which death has
gathered. First Butler. followed Ken
ma. Brooks, Hayes, General Doubleday
and now James q. Blaine the brightest

statesmen has been gathered to his
Fathers. Probably the name OF no
other American statesman had such
q worldwide reputation rs the name
OF James G. Blaine. Through all his
life he was aggressive in character.
Ms was light that could mover be
hidden under bushel. Whether as n
party leader, orator, historian, legisla-
tor or statesman, Mr.. Blaine naturally
came to the fore.
But amongst all the positions he oc-
cupied In his life, his influence as the
leader of the Republican party OF the
nation showed the powerful character
OF the man. At the close OF General
Grants term OF Office Mr.. Blaine Was
the most conspicuous lender OF his
party. There were others who swaycd
great men more easily, but 1t was lett
for Mr.. Blame to get hold OF the hearts
OF the eople, whose affect ions he ever
retained. Through all his life ns has,
as o general thing, had tie opposition

but the devotion and love Of tue mas
