coal are known to exist in many parts of Alaska.

The climate in the lake region and as far as

summer season is pleasant as the high noun

other testimony, is true, was buried at

sus Campeche declared that he was 154
years old. He said that he was born in
Spain in 1742 and came to Mexico when
he was "a years old He was living
with his eat-great-grandson and had
copies of the church register at Valla

One of the strongest and most re-
sourceful lodges of the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows in the state of Ten
nessee is Gap Creek lodge, No ~,
which has for its lodgeroom a large
cave in Garter county, eight miles east
Of Johnson City. So facinating is the
home of this lodge that some members
of the order i'll nearby towns have trans
ferred their membership to it.
Gap Creek lodge has been holding its
meetings in this cave for more than a
year, having rented the subterranean
chamber from its owner, DR.. Nathaniel
Hyder. The lodge has membership of
rs, which includes many of the best
men in Garter county.
This strange lodgerOom is located in
: an elevated strip Of woodland. The en-
trance to it faces the east, and on ap-
prOach it presents a somber appearance,
wEich might be considered typical of
mysteries that are known only in the

chamber is an opening, and IL feet far

While, when viewed through the en-

ance, light is nevertheless SO reflected
from the outer entrance as to penetrate
both chambers, so illuminating the

quired by day.-St Louis Globe Dem

are simply an excuse for spending money,
which have no relation to the human
