FORTUNE UNDER A STONE
A Georgia Farmer Unearthed S1S. 600
In Gold and Silver.
the Atlanta Journal

From the Atlanta Journal
Eighteen thousand dollars in gold and
silver were unearthed by a farmer in his
field, six miles from Fort Valley, late Sat.
urday afternoon. Young Green Hartley
who lives on the plantation Of Houser. was
plowing in the field, where there was a
large rock that was in the way of the plow
He ard two other men moved the rock so
as to let the plow pass. After removing
the rock Hartley saw something that look
ed like the edge of stone lar and upon
digging it up found that it was an old
stone jar, and upon opening it discovered
that it contained gold. silver and green
backs. The money was counted and found
to be $4,000 In gold end silver the green
backs being so badly decayed it was i'm
possible to count them.
Hartley was told by some one that half
OF the money belonged to the government,
ard, not knowing to the contrary he took
1t to Perry and deposited it with the coun-
ty treasurer, where it now is. Such a sem
sation has not been known there before.
and it Is talked of by almost every one. A
good many think that the money was
buried there years ago by some miser 1t
is thought that Hartley will not get the
money, it nay be claimed by other per-
cons who owned the land years ago.

Trivial Remarks Reported and the.
Dire Consequences That May Follow.
From the Fortnightly Review.
Never, perhaps, was there a monarch
whose speeches more loudly challenged
criticism. But they are sacred. To COM
ment on them in words that raise even a
suspicion of disapproval is sufficient to con-
sign the writer Or speaker to Jail for at
least three months. more probably six, pos
sibly twelve. Nay, astounding as it may
appear, 1t is none the less a fact, that lese-
majeste may be committed by saying moth
ing! In October last the Cologne Gazette
had an account Of a mana German who
had been in America-who was unfortu-
nate enough to offend in this way. lie was
at a cafe with some companions and they
fell to discussing the comparative merits
of the German and American constitutions.
or course, the man who had been in Amor
lea was in favor Of the American Constitu-
ton. He waXed eloquent on the subject.
and went on to say, LAS for the kaiser-'
then, suddenly realizing the dangers that
beset that word, he stopped short. But he
had already said too much. He had been
overheard by some one, who denounced
him to the police. They arrested him, and
he was ultimately sentenced to three
months Imprisonment. 1t was not as
anything against the kaiser; he was con-
demned on the facts as 1 have stated them.
1t was assumed that if he had finished the
sentence, it would have contained an in
suit to his majesty. and this was enough.
A later example Is. # possible, more as
founding still. An uphostarer in Dantzig
was asked at a restaurant to estimate the
value Of a plaster bust Of the empress, and
said it was worth only shilling. For this
he was tried. At the trial the lust was
produced, and. being found to be Of very
inferior quality. the man was acquitted
But that he could have been tried at all on
such charge Is significant enough.
Such cases are iudicrous, except for the
victims. But occasionally the oyersensi-
tive loyalty Of the Germans leads to results
still more absurd. Thus a. Bonn last sum
mer party Of friends were chatting at a
restaurant when one of them said, :.Wha t
a fool that Kaiser isr' The audac:ous
words were not allowed to pass unavenged.
A policeman was at once called in by an
eayesdropper and the culprlt given into
custody Then It came out that he had
merely been referring 20 an acquain tarce
Of the name Of Kaiser Ia not uncommon
name in Germany. Even then he was
taken to the police station, and had some
difficulty In obtaining his release.

SHOOTS WITH ONE ARM.
A California Hunter Who Kills Game
to Support Family of Seven.

to Support Family of Seven.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
For twenty-eight years Thomas Allen of
Monterey familiarly known as ALLEN the
Hunter" has been making a living for
seven people with his left arm and gun.
One day. when he was only fifteen years of
age, he was out hunting ducks on the
Monterey lagoon. In some manner his gun
caught and vas discharged woundipg him
in lis right arm near the shoulder.
He lay in the tulcs with his arm bleeding
profusely uEti: he was picked up by some
men who chanced to pass and was taken
home. DIR. Garfield of Monterey and DIR.
Callahan of San Francisco, both noted
physicians in the early days of California,
held a consultation. Owing to the great
loss of blood they pronounced the boy be-
yond the reach of medical aid. His mother
however, called in en Old Indian herb doc
tor. and before the year was cut the boy
was as well as ever, but minus his right
arm.
YOU Aliens father was famous
marksman, and the boy seemed 10 inherit
a strong taste for hunting. When he was
only four years old he would beg to go
with his father to shoot the little CATS
as he called the cottontail rabbits which
infested Monterey in those days. When
live years old his ca: eer as a hunter began
for his father took him out in the field ad-
joining their home. placed the gun over a
chair and let him shoot at one of the little
cats. He killed it, and from that moment
he has always had mania fer hunting all
sorts Of game.
When Mr.. Allen was fifteen and the acci-
cent occurred that resulted in the loss of
his right arm he thought that his hunting
days were over. As his father died shortly
before. part of the support of the family
devolved upon him. AT first he tried the
gaming table, as it seemed his only re-
source.
In those days" said he, in speaking of
the matter recently, $50 gold pieces were
more common than nickels are today. But
l didn't like the ups and downs of a gam
bier's life and the associations, SO l gave it
Up and dete rmined to learn to shoot with
