BOSTON PARTY TO SEEK
FORTUNE.
Strange Story of an Ell Dorado
Which 1t Is Hoped to be
Profitable Work.

BOSTON, Oct. 30.-An expedition is
being unostentatiously fitted out in
Boston to seek for gold in the SOUTH
ern seas. 1t is not private gold, al
though there is piracy and hanging
and bloodshed enough in the story
for one of Stevenson's novels. This
gold is on an univisted island in the
Pacific. According to reports the soil
of the island is full of gold nuggets
and the lodges of the interior ravines
are rich with auriferous ore of incal
culable value.
The secret of the islands position
is known to two ni.' tJne of whom is
E. III Bailey, of q oylston street,
Boston. He is al y.4s head of the
party, and, with his side partner, is
an experienced miner. Mr.. Bailey,
who lives in Melrose, Mass, tells viv-
idly the story of the islands discov-

California. AT the isthmus q party
of sailors, who had deserted from a
whaler, showed him a lot of metallic
ore, which his experienced eye told
him to be gold. The sailors reported
that they had discovered it on an is
land about months sail from Pana-
ma, where their ship had stopped to
take in water.
The carpenter and his sailors and q
party of adventures fitted up small
vessel and sailed to the island which
they located without difficulty. The
treasure exceeded their widest ex-
pectations. 1t was 9 virgin claim. In
celebrating the event quarrel start

but the carpenter and other seized a
sailboat belonging to an old German
hermit and sailed for Valparais for
fresh tools and supplies. The Chill
cans hanged them all for piracy. One
managed to escape and, with his dy-
ing breath, notified those left on the
island.

QUEER SUBSTITUTES FOR
BULLETS.
Nuggets of Gold and Wooden
Slugs Used by Hunters in
Emergencies.

When hunter in the old days lost
all his bullets or hadn't any to shoot
with he usually devised substitutes
that on occasion served the purpose
WELL All sorts of things have been
fired at game or Indians, as the case
might be. Old Hank Ellison, living
up in jefferson county, N. Y, told to
his dying day how he was cooped up
by Indians out west once, with a lit
tie lead, lots of powder, a belt full of
gold nuggets, a fine rifle, and bullet
mold. 1t was on the top of knoll
where his log cabin had been built,
and he had barrel of water and a
lot of wood for emergencies. The In
dians kept kept just out of range,
dashing in once in q while to draw
his fire. He soon used his bullets up,
and then used the gold. He fired
nearly half his fortune at the red
skis before they left him.
Many a hunter has used pebble in
the hope of getting a close dead shot.
Jacknives and ramrods have served
their time as missiles. Forest and
Stream tells about a hunter who had
only a single bullet but lots of pow
der. The bullet shot the. horn of a
big buck off, and the buck charged
the man who took to a tree top. He
spent half an hour whiting off two.
inch lengths of branches and putting
them into his rifle. Then he rammed
them down on the powder and fired
at the maddened deer. His parnel
came along after awhile with a belt
full of bullets, and making run fol
the tree, gave a bullet to the shooter
who quickly killed the deer.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
FINDING THE LEAK.

The Product of the Fields Pays tho Mud
or Stony Road Tax.
Time spent in marketing farm prod
nee is a dead loss.
This loss falls on the crop produced
by the farmer. The dappled fields OF
green and golden wheat know it and
the corn leaves whisper it to the lazy
pumpkins following in autumn sun.
They know that against them will be
charged all the time of horses and men
and all the wear and tear of vehicles en-
ployed in transporting them to market.
They know that if the road to town is
very bad and but half a load can be
marketed in twice the time required for
marketing full load with good road,
ii will all count against them when the
years business is finished and the books
are balanced.
They know that production and con-
sumption are the great contending
factors of the farm. Horses and men
are consuming the crop while they are
producing it. The consumption of it
does not end until 1T is exchanged for
its cash equivalent. The fewer the
number of horses and men, the less the
amount of time employed in producing
and marketing it, the more there will
be to credit to the worth Of the crop.
The mud tax, or stony-road tax, or
the steep-grade tax is assessed against
the product of the fields.
If the farm isn't a paying investment,
the ''why ?" should be looked into.
The farm. itself. may show a profit.
The miserable road to market may be
the Improbable part of the business.
Roads should be SO made that loads can
be hauled to market when fields are too
wet to work.

loss of time, the broken vehicles, the
worn-out horses and the many other
ills occasioned by poor roads.-Good

When You Build Roads, Build None But

A very wise philosopher has observed
that the great bulk of the people must
always support the mass of the popula-
ton.
The people pay for everything the
people have. The public pays for the
railroads and the expense of running
them. If the railroads were only half
as good and could only haul half as
much it would cost the people twice as
much to ride or ship over them.
It is fortunate for the people that rail-
roads are conducted in an organized
business-like way. If the opponents to
improved roads had their way the rail-
roads would be neither profitable nor
pleasant.
The people of community are the
ones vitality interested in the roads of
that community.
If the farmers of each township were
To get together and mutually agree that
they would go about a system of good

increased.
Since the people pay for the roads
why not have those that are cheapest

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Too much or too severe pruning is al
ways more or less weakening, especially
if continued year after year.
In pruning trees of any kind it is bet

The only remedy for black rot is to

branches that show any indication of
the disease
Cultivate your young and small fruits
the same as you would any other crop
on the farm from which you expect to
realize profit.
In setting out grape settings, plant
in dry, low soil, so that only the top
bud will be exposed and then mulch
with straw.
When selecting the trees take those
with the roots large and strong enough,
and then top light enough to do away
with the necessity of stalking.
By leaning the trees little to the
southwest when they are set out, sun
scalding may be largely avoided. as the
top will partly shade the trunk.
The sooner now that red and black
raspberries, blaci1berries, currants and
gooseberries are set out the better.
Early planting induces stronger root
ing
A young, tender tree cannot grow
without good care and attention. A
tree is strong and hardy when it is old
and it's roots are well established, but
when young it must be attended to.
Trees should always be set about as
deep as they stand in the nursery or
two or three inches deeper to allow for
the settling of the soil.-St- Louis Re
