For many years sandy mound on the
H. A. Maize farm, just south of this
city, has been known as the hiding place
of the fox. This winter the animals have
been unusually numerous and created
havoc in the henneries. The losses be-
came SO great that the farmers held a
meeting and decided to blow up the
mound and rid themselves of the pests.
A large quantity of dynamite was pur-
chased, and four large charges were put
into the ground. For some reason the
fuses failed to discharge the explosive,
and the stuff is now buried in the mound.
The mound is one of the most productive
spots on the farm, and as the farmer
does not know just where the dynamite
lies he is in a pickle to know what to do,
as he is afraid to dig into the mound for
fear he may strike the stuff and send
himself to kingdom come. The owner
of the farm insists that the dynamite
must be found, as he realizes that the
fact of it being buried on the farm is 60
ing to hurt the sale of the farm or for
ever render several acres of his best land
valueless.-Wooster (O.) Dispatch.

The latest fad among the ladies of the
English royal family, including, it is
said, the queen herself, is to beguile the
winter hours by plating straw for the
fabrication of hats to be presented to
their sons and husbands at the approach
ing season. A well known halter has
just finished handsome straw hat for
Prince Henry of Battenberg, every inch
of which was plated by Princess Bea-
trice's own hands. It is said to be a re-
markably delicate piece Of workman

In which momentum was the motive

making express time. Instead of stop
ping and getting stalled, Engineer SEQ

pulled into Stamford station on time,

anything was the matter until the en-
gineer called for another engine and No.

momentum the train was under when

The mystery that has been surround
ing the identity of David Draughn has
been solved and in way that is likely to
give David much trouble. Draughn was
several weeks ago dragged from the rail-
road tracks in the south end of the city
just in time to save him from being
Inangled. It was then discovered that
he had been beaten almost to death. He
was carried TO the Grady hospital, and
when he recovered physically it was
found that his mind was Il perfect blank
as to past events-so much SO that he
even did not know his own name.
Finally under the care Of the surgeons
there came back inklings of the past, and
one day last week he electrified every
body about the hospital by rushing about
and ddeclaring he ''had it, He had caught
what he said was his last name. He vas
taken by detectives up into North Caro-
lima, and at Culberson, near Murphy, he
found friends, but he was not Draughn,
at least not there. He had been known
there as DR.. F. D. Heath and had lived
there for several months last summer,
but Heath and Draughn are one and the
same man, and it developed that under
the former name he has three living
wives. One lives in Salem, No. . in
Asheville and No. 5 in Bryson City, Va.
His mother, Mrs. Frank Barr, the wife
of printer, also lives near Salem. He
will be prosecuted for bigamy and is
very sorry he has found out who he is.

AN INTERESTING DISCOVERY.
An Adventurous Miner Runs Onto strana
Prehistoric City

An Adventurous Miner Runs Onto Strange
Prehistoric City.
! Manville W. Cresworth, an English
mining man well known throughout
southwest Mexico, arrived at Mapi1ni,
Mexico, recently from a long overland
journey through the Sierra Madre noun
tains, his starting point being Cuican,
near the Pacific coast, in the state Of
Sinaloa. He claims to have visited a
section Of country mover before visited
by white man of the present genera
ton, and that lie discovered large and
beautiful deserted city.
lie told the correspondent that tho
wonderful city is situated about so miles
west Of Lake Colorado, in the recesses Of
the Sierra Aadres. Tt occupies basin
about 10 miles long by eight miles wide.
Perpendicular cliffs surround the basin
on all sides, rising to a height of hun
dreds Of feet. The only entrance to the
city is through deep canyon, which has
q width of about 30 feet. Mr.. Cresworth
states that he stumbled onto the secret
entrance quite by accident. He gives a
vivid description of the deserted city.
The buildings, he says, are construct
ed of redstOne blocks resem bling granite.
The business blocks are two and three
stories in height and are entirely differ
ent in architectural design from the
structures built by the Aztecs and Span
iards. The streets are very narrow, but
are laid out in regular order. In the city
is a small park which is overgrown with
rare flowers and tropical vegetation. He
entered the business houses and decay
ing residences, but found very little of
value except some remarkable and
strange ornaments made Of stone.
He believes that the city was looted at
the time that it was deserted, whenever
that may have been. No records or writ
ings Of any kind were found, nor did he
discover any skeleton that would give
an idea as to the race Of people who at
one time inhabited the city. None'of the
natives OF tnGt section Of country had
ever heard of the deserted city. Mr..
Cresworth is making diligent inquiry of
them. Mr.. Cresworths story is very
startling and remarkable, but it is be-
leved by those to whom he has related
his experiences. He will organize an ex-
peditioa to make u thorough exploration

"HE WEARS RUB8ERS.D
a New Slang Phrase Which Has Caught on
In the Metropolis.

a New Slang Phrase Which Has Caught on
In the Metropolis.
During a recent discussion between q
newspaper man and State Senator Owens
Of Brooklyn on the merits of a third per-
son the senator said: why, that man is
no good. He's not even decent. The
fellow wears rubbers."
The newspaper man was at loss to
understand the senator's meaning, but
not wishing to appear behind in the
slang of the day said nothing. The next
day he approached well known poll
tician and asked him about it.
''What does it mean when you speak
Of a man as wearing rubbers?" he said.
"My boy" said the politician, ''that is
the very latest slang expression. It sim
ply means that q man is a sneak; that,
figuratively speaking. he approaches you
with 1auhied feet. If you go into any
police museum in the country, one of the
things they'll show you Is the rubber
shoe that the sneak thief or the assassin
uses. 1t is an ordinary tennis shoe, with
rubber sole and a canvas upper, and
the only reason it is worn by crooks is
because it gives them an opportunity to
creep up behind their victim without
being heard
Another new bit Of slang is, Gle
doesn't cut any ice" It simply means
that he or she, whichever sex is referred
to, plays no part. Both Of these express
sions are almost brand new, and the
first, at least, is likely to become much
in vogue with people who like to piece
out their vocabulary with hslang.-Brook-

The queens first drawing room was
interesting chiefly as guide to the com
ing seasons fashions. The number pres
ent was about half that of some of last
years receptions. Spring tints prevailed,
and the feminine world will receive with
various emotions the news that green
still holds strange sway as fashionable
color. It is a matter of congratulation,
however, that the faVorite tones are more
moderate than two or three SEASONS ago.
