respond to it by giving a celebration

HE GOT JUDGMENT.

But the Merchant Don't Want Any
More of the Kind.
A Washington attorney is rather
noted for the facility with which he
forgets financial obligations. He has
owed a certain grocer So for a year or
two. The other day the merchant con-
cluded to try a new course with him.
Meeting him in the store, he said:
Judge, I have a Gust, her who owes
me small bill, and has owed it for a
long time. He makes plenty, of money,
but won't pay. What would you do?'
I'D sue him.. said the lawyer, en-
phatically. -
well, will put the account in your
hands," and the merchant presented a
statement of the account against him
self. ,a.& =
''All right; I will attend to it, said
the disciple of Blackstone.
A few days after the merchant re-
ceived the following note from the law
yer: IT,

Eu ting Slowly.

The opinion that hurry in eating is
prolific cause of dyspepsia is founded
on common observation. The ill re-
suits of boiling food have been attrib-
utei to the lack of thorough mastica-
ton and to the incomplete action of
the saliva upon the food. Two-thirds
of the food we eat is starch, and
starch cannot be utilized in the system
as food. until it has beenaconyerted in
to sugar, and this change is principal
~ effected by the saliva. But there is
a third reason why rapidity of eating
interferes with digestion. The pres
ence of the salivary secretion in the
stomach acts as stimulus in the Sc
erection Of the gastric juice. Irrespect-

Heating the story and gave to- John
Heating the map, which Heating in
turn, when it came his time to die,
communicated to his wife.
The story as Thompson told it begins
With the voyage of the schooner Mary
Dear, commanded by Captain William
Thompson, which sailed from Lima on
the Esd Of November, 1920, bound for
the Galapagos Islands under charter
to the Spanish Government, which was
then at war with the revolted colony
OF Peru. The Mary Dear, although
Captain Thompson was acting as sail
Ing master, was under the control of a
young Spanish naval officer who was
accompanied by guard of twelve
marines from Spanish man-of-war
The schooner was manned bv Thomn-
sons own crew. On the 7th of Deem
Der the Mary Dear anchored off Cocos
Island. Why she went to Cocos instead
of the Galapagos Islands, and how the
Spanish officer and the twelve marines
disappeared from the narrative Mrs
Brennan says she does not know. An
parently Thompson slurred over this
part of what he told Heating. At any
rate, when the lawfully constituted all
thorities vanish from the narrative
there appear six chests of inestimable
treasure, which it had no doubt intend
ed to conceal on one of the Galapagos
islands. And these Thompson and his
crew buried on Cocos Island.
In the course of the long continued
struggle between the Spanish and the
Peruvian colonists any records or docu-
ments bearing on the case would I'M
doubleday have been lost, and it is
impossible now to say whether the gold
belonged to the Spanish Government
or to some private citizen who had pro-
cured naval guard to superintend
it's transportation to the GALAPAGOS

west of Panama, an island Inhabited
only by herds of goats and known only
as having been at one time a watering
station for South Sea whalers. Mrs.
Brennan is going there to find some
treasure, which she knows was there
fifty -four years ago, and which she has
every reason to believe has not since
been removed. The old lady has no
reason for making any mystery about
precise spot on the island in which the
treasure lies, as it is matter of COM
mon knowledge that there is a great
deal of gold hidden somewhere on the
island, and extensive excavations have
from time to time been made by seach-
ers, who hoped that chance would
guide them to the cache, of which Mrs.
Brennan knows the exact location.
Most expeditions in search of treas
:ure are organized by mere dreamers
and enthusiasts, and not few of them
by skillful swindlers. But Mrs. Bren-
nan, who is investing no money but
her own in the venture, certainly
seems to be woman of strong common
sense, and the story of the treasure,
as she herself tells it, is very much
more simple and direct than are the
narratives which form the stock in
trade of the common run of adventur-.
ers.
Mrs. Brennan was married for the
first time in 184S to John Heating, of
st. Johns, Newfoundland, a seafaring
man, who died in 1882. Before he died
he gave her a marked map of the island
and told her the story of his own con-
,nection with the treasure. In June,
1885, Heating was ships carpenter of
the Rose Blanche, of st. Johns, then
loading in Rio Janerio for home. A
man who. looked like tramp came out
from behind pile of boards on the
wharf one morning and asked Heating
if the Rose Blanche would like to ship
another hand. He was, he said, an
able seaman, and had been trying to do
some trading on his own account in
the Ygnassu country, but had been
robbed and made his way to the coast
with great difficulty. Heating at once
assumed that the man was a deserter
from some other ship, if nothing worse,
but as two of the crew of the Rose
Blanche had run away at Porto SECURE,
he told the man to wait until Captain
Humphries came on board. He gave
Thompson, as the stranger called him
self, something to eat, and later in the
day found the captain very glad to add
one to his depleted complement. The
Rose Blanche sailed the next day, and
as she made her northing Thompson
who had contracted a fever while
tramping down to the coast, was com

did what he could for the sick man,
who made loud protestations of his
gratitude and talked vaguely about a
great reward which Heating might
hope to reap for his kindness. When
the Rose Blanche reached ST. Johns
Thompson said he would like to find
board in sorle quiet place where he
could regain his strength before going
to sea again, and Heating said his
mother would be glad to take in any

Twenty-one transcripts on appeal
were yesterday filed in the office of
the clerk of the Third district court on
behalf Of James Glendinning, James
Moffat, R. w. Sloan, Fritz A. Houck,
William H. Penrose, John R. Middle
miss, A. T. Lawrence, Edmund Wilkes,
S. ". Darke and Nicholas Treweek,
partners under the firm name and style
of the Utah Midland Railroad company.
The appeals are from judgments rem
dered by Justice Harvey against the
appellants and in favor of twenty-one
individuals, who brought suits to re-
cover amounts owing them for work
done and materials supplied to the
Utah Midland company, in connection
with surveying done for the projected
road. The amount involved in the
twenty-one cases aggregates about 49,,
600. Judgment was rendered in the
court below against the individual sub
scribers to the stock, and the appeal is
based on the contention that the stock
holders are not individually liable, and
that the creditors can only look to the
which is insolvent, for their
money.
