Strange how things go in this world
sad an old gentleman to another with

Detroit Free Press. You and I went
through school together, John. 1 was ell

you were. had more money left me, and
I've always worked hard You're rich
now and 1 am still dependent on what I
can earn. How do you account for it?"
III tell you, Henry, of quite little lift
l got once and have never said much
about. You remember the old Clover
farm? l bought that, payin' little down
and gettin' easy terms for the balance.
The city grew out that way pretty lively,
so laid out lot of town lots. Ny wife's
pretty shTewd, and She figured out that if
I'd give the city a park it would draw
people out that way and we'd make
money by it. So I laid out a fine park on
that level stretch between the two hills,
where there was a grove, making gravel
roads, flower beds, foot paths and lakes.
IN eXcaVating for a lake had to remove
tnat big tulip poplar, and under it I

Of the trunk of the poplar, and on line
with the big sandstone rock where we
used to chisel our names? And was there
about $4,000 in Spanish and English
coins?"
Just how did you know about it?'
Just my luck. There was an old coun-
terfeiter shot out in Kansas, and 1 did
what / could for him the few days he
lived He told me he had buried a lot of
gold there when the officers were crowding
him pretty close one time, and said

and looking the thing up, but he had been
such tough citizen that my wife laughed
a his story as a fairy tale and wouldn't
hear to my spending any more money fol-
lowing it up. The long and short of it is
that your wife had you find that wealth
when she knew nothing about it and mine
kept me from gettin' it when I was told
right where to dig for II. I've always
said that you could never tell what a wo-

in and questioned me. But I'm a good deal
better than raw hand with the women.

Section p OF the new tariff law appears
likely TO cause trouble. Il authorizes a
discriminating duty OF 10 per cent ad
valorem upon certain goods. wares and
merchandise imported in vessels not Of the
United States. or which being the produc-
ton or manufacture of any foreign coun-
try not contiguous to the United States

but the Senate slashed it an to pieces
changed the terms and the scope Of it
and made practically a new section. The
Senate's amendments were accepted in
conference and Speaker Reed forced the
House TO swallow the conference report
blind. There was no discussion. no ex-
PLANTATION; no question, no answers. The
House cravenly cringed to the lash Of the
boss, and the whole measure went down
at gulp. Is it possible that congress
could have had any real intentions" I'M
der such circumstances?
To get at the "real intentions" of the
new tariff law one must not look to CON
gross, which passed the act, or TO the
President. who signed It, but TO the mo-
nopoiists. trusts and capitalists who wrote
the various schedules and sent them to
their obedient servants in congress. In

about eighty Indian skulls from an old
Indian burial ground along with an as
sorted variety of bones. Before they
could get away with their trophies they
were arrested and carried before a justice
of peace charged with grave robbery
against which they put up the plea of
scientific research. The justice gave them
just so many hours to put the skulls and
bones back where they got them, and
they complied forthwith. Had the In,
