girls, Halloween was observed in Soc

club dance in the Town Hall was very

with jack-lanterns, and while the cos

many Of them were quite fine. The
ladies' of the Relief Corps served supper
in G. A. R. hall to large crowd, and it
is expected that they will clear about
500. A Halloween social was given by
the young people Of the Disciple church
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred HOwk.
The house was lighted with Old-fash-
iOned tallOw candles, and the guests
were introduced to number of ghOstly

2OOO Medina county people,
many of whom had been un-

glasses until they were fitted
by him. There is a saying

high for some people to pay

More Money Than He Can Spend.

The average man is bothered because
he hasn't money enough to spend, but
Mr.. James F. Burns Of Cripple Creek,
Col, is embarrassed for the very oppo-
site reason. TO tell the plain truth, 1t
keeps Mr.. Burns-Jimmie, they call
him out West-busy devising ways to
get rid Of his surplus revenue. He has
ever so much more money than he can
spend in any reasonable way. His in
come is about $4,000 a month, and,
being a bachelor with modest wants,
1t can be seen that he is actually suf-
tering with plethora of cash.
Mr.. Burns is an agreeable, pleasant
spoken man Of about As years, and Ia

the world, the Portland, of which he Is
also chief owner. One month its out
put OF the yellow metal was 1925, 900, or
just one-tenth of the entire production

lots OF gold down there, but l spent a
fortune trying to get 1t out of the

OCEAN MYSTERIES.
SECRETS WELL GUARDED BY OLD
FATHER Neptune.

vessels which Have Sailed and Never Been
Hoard of-The Marie Celcste-An Ameri-
tan Brig That Was lowed Into Port But
Her People Had All Disappeared.
When a well-found ship leaves port
and is never afterwards heard from, IL
is put down as mystery OF the sea.
When a dead body encased in an I'M
identified life-jacket is lifted up by the
sleepless surf and cast on the wave
worn beach, that, too, Is recorded as a
mystery Of the deep. The waterlogged
raft with the stump Of distress Sig
nal spar pointing mutely skyward; the
battered lifeboat with the oars drag
ging from the gunwales, and the acre
of boxes and barrels and beams and
planks floating silently on the white
crests, and in the dark hollows of the
surging sea, these are likewise called
ocean mysteries. Sometimes these
marks Of shipwreck and death are
picked up by more fortunate craft and
are brought to port to be mysteries no
longer. But there are mysteries OF the
sea deeper than the plank, the crushed
lifeboat and the dead sailor. Man has
tried to fanthom them, hopelessly at
tempted to put two and two together
that he might get at the truth. Noun
tains and valleys echo their secrets,
hut the cruel old ocean never does.
There are greater secrets in Old
Neptune's care than those of the miss
ing ship. The Naronic went away and
never came back So did the City OF
Boston, City of Glasgow, Erin, Alvo,
City of London, City of Limerick, Pres
ident, Pacific and a score of others.
Yet the disappearance of these craft
are ordinary mysteries Of the sea. A
greater mystery still is when crew
abandons its ship and is never again
heard from, while the abandoned craft
is subsequently towed into port with
out giving the least trace OF those who
had been in charge Of her.
Such a case was that Of the Marie
Celeste, and it Is as weird and uncanny
a tale as even the Ancient Mariner"
or the Flying Dutchman" aspired to
be. The remarkable disappearance OF
the Celeste's crew was made the sub
iect of an extensive investigation by
the State Department in Washington.
and it is from these records that the
particulars herein given were obtained.
The Marie Celeste was an American
brig of over 400 tons, and early in the
seventies left this port for Villefranche,
In the Mediterranean. Several months
after her departure she was towed into
port as sound as a new coin, but her
people, numbering thirteen, including
the wife and child Of the skipper, have
not been heard of from that day to this.
The name ofthe captain Of the Marie
Celeste was Benjamin Briggs, and he
hailed from New England. In addition
to the little six-year-old daughter who
shared the fate Of the crew, whatever
It was, the captain had boy ten years
old. 1t had been his habit to take this
boy to sea with him, but on the event.
full trip in which he disappeared from
the face OF the globe, he left his son
behind. The latter has spent a small
fortune in trying to ascertain what
happened to his parents and the other
people OF the brig after that vessel was
deserted; he knows as much now OF the
mystery as he did twenty years ago.
