Then," said Mrs. Medliker triumphantly.

Children are often better logicians than
their elders. To John Bunyan the steal

rate things; that the negaticn of the second

A LOST ISLAND,
One Rich in Phosphates Being Eager.
" Searched for in the Pacific

One Rich in Phosphates Being EAGER.
ly Searched for in the Pacific.
The mysterious island of the Southern
ocean whereon rich deposits of guano are
said to be has not been discovered yet,
though the little schooner Moonlight that
arrived recently from Mazatlan searched
for 1t all seas over in the latitude and
longitude where 1t is believed to exist, says
the San Francisco Bulletin. Out Of the
regular course of sailing and steam vessels
cruised the Moonlight for days. but nothing
occurred to break the monotony Of the
placid Southern ocean save the well-known
high rock Of much-mentioned Clippertvn
Treasure Island and its wealth of phos-
pilates still exists merely as an unknown
quantity, for the rough charts of old Capt.
Martin and his adventurous associates are
either In error or else some strange seismic
phenomenon caused the lost isle to disap-
pear years ago, perhaps, for all that mortal
sailor knows
For a number of years the lost island of
the South Pacific has been searched for by
ambitious seamen. The stories concerning
extent conflicting, though the narratives
all seem to center on the fact that the
place exists somewhere about 400 or $40
miles southwest of Clipperton island, and
is a low coral atol which is covered with
the richest phosphates. The little unknown
also has its legends of pirates treasures,
and according to an old volume containing
mention of Lord Clipperton's voyages, was
once the rendezvous of pirates.
One of the expeditions of recent date
which have been fitted out to look for the
island was the Vine expedition. The Vines
owner, Capt. Burns, according to the first
officer of that craft, secured his knowledge

which told of small island n the South
Pacific not down on the regular charts,
enormously rich in phosphates. Martin
claimed that his vessel was driven out of
her regular course by head winds and came
across the island, which he described. He

Bought Himself for s4oO.

From the Louisville Courier Journal
Lexington's oldest drayman is William
Wiles, colored. He is in his eighty-third
year, and has driven a dray in Lexington
Tor thfrty-five years. In view of the dis
unction of being the oldest drayman IN the
city bis license was presented to him for
1896. The Lexington Herald says of him:
Uncle Billy is a relic of slavery days.
Probably no other man living in Kentucky
today can lay literal a claim to being
his own boss as he. Uncle Billy bought
himself, and has receipt for the money.
He was the slave Of George /. Brown of
Jessamine county. As was the custom he
first had to buy his time from the owner
and then speculate on his work for other
people. The price put Oh his time was s125
year This was liberal. He went TO work
with vim, and at the end of four years
had paid the $500 for his time and saved
$780, The latter was the price at which no
was offered for sale. He paid the $500 and
now has the receipt for it."

little figures of Johnny and Florry walking
over the hilltop, hand in hand, but that

their secret. And then it was forgotten; !;
the prosperous Mr.. Medliker, now the pro-
prietor of stage coach route, moved away
to Sacramento; Medliker's ranch became a
station for changing horses, and, as the
new railway in time superseded even that,

outskirts of the new town of Burnt Spring
