Delight to break my heart; for when

To meet your dark-eyed smile, to see

Only the green was touched with golden

And only the marsh-wren thrilled my

Where a Battle Was Fought.

An antique earthen vessel of Spanish
design, half filled with gold dust, dug
with other valuables from the ground
in an uninhabitable spot in the Indian
Territory, is the latest discovered evil
dence to corroborate an old Indian ira
dition to the effect that one of the most
cruel battles ever fought on American
soil was an engagement between the
Spaniards and the native Indians that
has never been recorded in history. r.
b. Powell, of Webber's Falls, while
walking in his yard, stumbled on what
he found to be peculiarly shaped
earthen vessel. He dug 1t up, and found
1t to contain about fifty old Spanish and
American coins, some of which dated
as far back as 1926. His curiosity hay-
ing been excited, he excavated In the
spot, and found much larger vessel of
the same shape, containing what
proved to be more than a gallon of pure
gold dust.
1t has long been an Indian tradition
that In the last part Of the eighteenth
century, or the first of the nineteenth,
the native Indians of what Is now the
territory, and the encroachlng Span
lards from the South, fought an awful
battle in the territory, and that the In

WHAT A WOMAN DID.
To Europe Six Times In Twelve Years
Learned Six Languages.


A plucky American woman, who be-
gan to support herself at eighteen, has
shown how poor school teacher can
see Europe to the best advantage In
twelve years, says the Philadelphia
Times. Earning a small salary In a
public school, she has taken private pu'
pills and lived frugally, and has been
able to go to Europe every other year
for two months holiday.
Her first journey was made to En-
gland and Scotland, and was enjoyed
so keenly that she planned another one,
and saved money for 1t during the next
two years. The second tour was
through France, Belgium and Holland,
and In order to travel comfortably she
learned French during her leisure
hours.
Returning to her school work, she be-
gan to study German, and at the end of
two years was ready for journey up
the Rhine and to Vienna, and thence
through Dresden and Berlin to Bre-
men. With renewed ardor she plunged
into the study of italian, and at the
end of two years she started for Rome.
She made the round of the italian cit
les, and spent a fortnight in Switzer
land. Two years afterward she was
in Spain, and was able to speak the Ian
guage.
During the last year she has made
her sixth journey to Europe, travelling
through Denmark, Norway and Swed-
en- to Russia, and spending fortnight
in Moscow. She carried with her a
fair knowledge of Swedish, and not
only knew the Russian alphabet so as
| to read the street signs, but could make
her own bargains with drosky drivers
and go about without guide.
In the course of twelve years she has
made six journeys to Europe and
learned to speak six modern languages,
and she has supported herself entirely
by her earnings as school teacher,
and has paid every penny of her trav-
cling expenses. Starting with n pains
taking study Of the language of the
country which she was to visit, and
also preparing nerSel1 by course or
reading, she has made the best possible
use of her time abroad.
The reward for all this energy and
perseverance has come In her thirtieth
year Her knowledge of foreign Ian
| guages has fitted her for broader work
as a teacher, and she has left the pub
lie schools to take a position as in
structor in French, German and Italian
In high school for young women.
There may be higher aims than those
ordinarily involved In foreign travel,
but the persistency Of this American
girl In carrying out her plans is worthy
of praise. 1t is great gain in any hui
man life, If 1t is governed by definite
purpose and keeps that purpose stead.
