Last year. in August so the story goes,
Burrell and a pal went into Thai
miners store, on Broad street, and
managed to steal Jersey. The pal was
caught, taken before Justice John and
duly punished for this offence. But Jim
ME escaped and the officers lost sight Of
him, and the warrant which they had
for him was turning yellow with age.
1t was coming on towards August again.
when rumors were floating around that
Jimmie had entered a lot near Third
and Clay streets and stolen a dress.
Jimmie heard them and also that war
rant was out for his arrest Thinking
of how easy and smilingly he would
come off when he stood before Justice
John, Burrell went to the Second Sta

Boynton's Report on Camp Thomas.

CH1cKAMAUGA, Aug. 81. - General
Boynton, chairman of the Chickamauga-
Chattanooga national park commission,
ordered by the war department. to thor
oughly investigate the conditions at
Camp Thomas and report thereon, has
completed his report and forwarded it
to Washington. The report is favor
able on nearly every matter investi-
gated. The water is said to be good,
the ground well adapted for camping
purposes, the hospitals we'll located and
the attention given the sick as good as
could be expected. The indications are
that the report will bring on warm
dispute, as numerous statements con-
tanned therein are contradicted by high
army officials. 1t is the intention of the
officials to have the seven artillery bat
teries away from the park within 4s
hours, but Major Atwell, who is in COM
mand, states that this will be almost
impossible.

GUAQUEROS OF COLOMBIA.

Men Who Hunt For Gold Buried With the
Ancient Inhabitants of the Country.
The burial places of the ancient
inhabitants of Colombia, more par.
ticular1y in the provinces of An
tioquia and Cauca, have for more
than three centuries afforded pre-.
carious livelihood, first to some Of
the Spaniards who colonized the
country and then to some of the
present inhabitants, for the Indians
of Colombia followed the custom OF
burying the dead with their posses.
sions and treasures. In Antioquia
and Cauca an Indian tomb is known
as guaca and a group of tombs as
pueblo. The guacas are said to be
rich when they contain large
amount of gold, poor when they
contain little and empty when they
contain only bones and pottery.
'The art of the guaqueros, or
grave searchers, . says Don Manuel
Uribe, quaint writer Of century
ago, has perfectly plain rules, easy
to be understood, whose application
is so certain in its results that they
are almost exact
OF the men themselves he says
Like al who seek treasure, their
life is enthusiastic and full of
dreams that too often are dispelled
and replaced by painful realities.
There is il the Antioquian guaquero
something strange and typical that
makes it's impress on his character
and gives him peculiar physiogno-
my. Light hearted and observing,
he is always sanguine of finding
enormous treasures; he speaks Of
his occupation with pride, praises it,
defends it with tenacity, and often
shows signs of kind of insanity
which might we'll be called sar-
cophagomania."
The don might have added that
once guaquero always guaquero,
and that the guaqueros are the only
miners in all the country who can
not obtain credit. This is saying a
good deal, for in Colombia every re-
tail as well as every wholesale
merchant expects to give from to
10 months credit.
The searcher6 claim to be able to
locate guaca with unfailing ac-
curacy, but the writer's has seen
them fail too many times to believe
it to be other than a matter of great
luck. The sole indication of a guaca,
SO far as an outsider can learn, is a
sinking of the ground correspond
ing to the size of the grave, but in
the course of centuries such indica.
tons have disappeared to large ex.
tent. The tools required are few
a crowbar, shovel, botea for wash
ing the dirt, and block and tackle
if the grave be deep.
Having located his guaca, the
guaquero can, after digging little.
tell pretty nearly what he may ex.
pect. If he finds a stone wall O,
signs Of steps, he may be pretty
sure that the grave is of some one

of Little Dewey, son o
and Mamie Walker, who fel
asleep in Jesus, August 10th:
He has gone our loved ones left us
Broken hearted here to weep,
And the days they seem so dreary
Since our darling fell asleep.
He has left us oh so lonely,
Left as here alone to sigh;
He is dwelling with the angels,
There We'll meet him bye and bye.
Oh we miss thee darling Dewey,
For thou vert loving child;
But the Saviour has received thee
In his loving arms so mild.
Darling Dewey how we miss thee,
Miss thee from our loving care,
Hank was that our Dewey calling.
Father, mother meet me there!
Yes, we miss thee darling Dewey.
When we see thy empty cab,
Was not that our Dewey calling.
Father. mother meet me there?
Meet me where there is no parting.
All is peace and joy and love;
I'll be waiting there to greet thee
Atthe pearly gates above.

The President Visits His Brother.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.--The presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley left Washing
ton this morning for Somerset, Pa,
where they will spend several days
with Abner Mckinley, the presidents
brother.
The Washington Times recalls story
about the Duke of Wellington that IL
Illustrates the fantastic idea of honor
held by many Spaniards, contrasted with
the practical common sense of English
men. When the duke was cooperating
with the Spanish army in the peninsula
against Napoleon, he was DESTROYS on
one occasion during general engage
ment that the general commanding the
Spanish contingent should execute a GER
tain movement on the field. He COM
municated the wish to the Spaniard
aback to be told that the honor of the
king of Spain and his army would COM
pei him to refuse the request unless
Wellington, as a foreign officer gracious
ly permitted to exist and fight on Span
ish soil, should present the petition on
his knees.
The old duke often used to tell the
story afterward, and he would say,
CHOW, I was extremely anxious to have
the movement executed, and didn't
care 'twopenny damn about getting
on my knees, SO down 1 pumped!'

American Colleges,

1t is certainly something of trib-
ute to American educational institu-
tons and scholars that when, some
years ago, a graduate of Harvard
went to Oxford and applied for adj
mittance there to make special
study of Shakespeare for year he
was told: $50 back to Harvard and
Professor Child. They can teach
you far csore there than we can
here. . 1t seems, however, that this
opinion had been expressed before,
even at time when Harvard and
American colleges had not nearly
attained their present standard, for
the elder Edward Everett, in letter
dated as far back as 1918, said, writ
ing from Oxford: II have been over
two months in England, and am
now visiting Oxford, having passed
week in Cambridge. There are
more teaching and more learning in
our American Cambridge than there
are in both the English universities
together, though between them they
have four times our number Of stu
dents. New York Tribune.

of Importance. II the wall is OF
hewn stone, well joined, he knows
it must be of great chief or
cacique. BY the hardness and com.
pactness Of the soil he knows wheth
er the grave is very ancient or COM
paratively modern. By the kind Of
utensils found he can tell whether
the grave is that of man or a
woman. He can also tell whether
the grave has been previously rob.
bed and whether by Indians or
Spaniards. This he determines by
indications that would appeal very
forcibly to Sherlock Holmes. The
ancient Indians were extremely
careful in filling the grave to place
the different earths, generally black,
blush gray, and brown, in the ex-
act order in which they occurred.
If the grave was subsequently rob-
bed by Indians, the bones and pot
terry would be carefully replaced,
but the same care would not be eX-
ercised in replacing the earth. If
the grave was robbed by Spaniards
the grave would be hurriedly filled
with bones, broken pottery, and
earth Unfortunately.
When it becomes evident to the
guaquero that he is nearing the bot
tom, the earth is removed in thin
slices and every piece is carefully
examined. When the bones are I'm.
covered, the place about the head is
searched for earrings and nose rings.
The pottery is broken and washed
for gold fishhooks or rings, but it is
under the body that the largest
quantity of gold is generally found.
If the amount found is satisfactory,
the guaquero fills up the grave, all
the time praising and flattering the
memory of the dead, his ancestors
and heirs; but if the grave is empty,
the dead man is cursed and his
homes are left to fall to pieces.
The greatest find of this kind re-
corded by history was that Of Don
Pedro de Heredia. who left Carriage
ma for Ell Dorado in 1884. The party
came across an Indian town called
Zemi, and from large graveyard
or pueblo near it they obtained 80
much gold that Don Pedro divided
1900, 600 among his followers, after
Seducting the royal fifth and fair
share for himself. York Sun
