BURIED GOLD.
A GOOd-Sized Fortune Left by Gam
bier and Guarded by
His SpOok.

1t is not every one who travels over
the Albany road leading west from
this town that is aware Of the i'm
mense fortune buried near the road
side, about two miles from this place
100000 in gold within a stones
throw, says a Greenwood (Me.) spe-
cial to the New York Journal.
Here is the story: In the early
part of this century there lived a
professional gambler named Patch,
who, after wandering all over the face
of the earth, finally settled here on
what is now known as the Patch
homestead.
With large accumulation Of ready
money, Patch became a money lend
er, and one could secure any amount
by giving him good security. Uncle
Ben Bacon, of West Paris, remembers
him. asEs;
"Y Emember Isaac. Wanted
SONG 9ney once, and went to him to
get it. Patch put for the woods, and
in short time he returned with the
money. He went through the same
operations with every one who wanted
to hire money of him.
Patch died suddenly. In his will
he left to his son George all treasures
hidden in the ground. It stated in
the will that should anyone else
save the legal heirs try to get the
fortune he (Patch) would appear in
the form of some animal and drive
him away. George never found his
fathers money, and at his death
wilfed everything to his son Frank.
Frank Patch lives on the same old
farm that his grandfather bought, but
has never been able to find the treas
ure.
Not only have the legal heirs tried
to find it, but other persons have
hunted secretly at night for it.
Scion Ryerson, with another man,
was chased away from the place by
a strange animal only year ago. Mr..
Ryerson says: eyes, we came near
finding it, All was well until one of
the most terrible looking animals i'm
aginable appeared. We found rock
which was cut out of Patch's ledge
and fitted in just as even as stem to
a pipe. 1t was just large enough to
let>a mans body down. This creature
appeared and drove us away"
'Have you never been there since?"
the reporter asked.
"No; nor 1 never will go there,
either. I got all wanted of it that
night. / would not go there again
for 100000. I have got all want of
trying to find his money"
Acres and acres of ground have
been dug over in search of the money.

McSwatters and McSwitters had sworn
off smoking for three months. One day,
about four weeks after the bargain had
been made, the two met. Each was dying
for good cigar. "Say, john" said Nc

"You bet!" sighed McSwitters. 81 can't af-

McSwitters. He took the two and placed
them in his vest pocket. "Pll buy" he said.

chuckling softly. McSwitters was the
twelfth man who had bought him off on
the cigar deal-Syracuse Herald.

Sturgeon as a Punster.

Charles Haddon Sturgeon, the nom

during his European travels that he occa-

to make = speciality of each other, the
gossips said nature was taking its
course, and Immediately began their
calculations as to when the happy af-
fair would eventuate. / was thinking
the same way, and really felt fiattered
that the young woman had selected me
out of all her admirers as the choice.
''She was unusually pretty, tall,
graceful, blonde as summer sky, and
with money enough to have made her
attractive even if she had been homely
as hedge fence. Like all pretty
girls, however, so circumstanced, she
was coquettish and uncertain, and the
about her all the time did not tend to
steady her great deal. / was the one
though of them all who received her
most marked favor, and in the course
of siX'months we became engaged to be
married. To say that was pleas
when she accepted me scarcely ex-
presses it, and yet was not altogether
satisfied. Possibly it was her nature
not to satisfy the heart of man as he
would want it to be satisfied by the
woman who was to be his wife, but one
should not expect everything, and l ac-
copied the gift the gods gave and let it
go at that. At least, did for about
two months, and then 1 bethought me
of plan to test the woman of my
choice. l thought loved her. Possibly
did not. l fancy some would say did
not, or l would not have been in such
a doubling humor.
''Be that as it may, was determined
to make test, and 1 did. In town
about hundred miles away lived my
half brother, who was not anxious to
have me marry the girl, notwithstand-
ing the material advantages of the
union, and he was willing enough to do
his share in making the test when I
proposed it to him. She did not know
him at all, so when 1 had him come over
to my town and took him to call on her
as Mr.. Hart, she had no idea that he
was any other than as represented. He
was a handsome fellow, much hand
somer than / was, and the smoothest
chap with women | ever saw. He was a
fine brunette, while 1 was red-headed,
and nobody on earth would have taken
us for kinsmen. Our call was extended
until after II o'clock, and when we
came away had feeling that if it had
been anybody else except my brother
would have been jealous. He left at
eight the next morning, and two days
later | wrote him letter to Miss Blank,
which he was to copy and send to her.
"This he did, and in due course re-
ceived an answer, and from that reg
ular correspondence grew, which very
soon called for three or four letters a
week. He would send her answers to
me, and would write an answer and
send it to him, which he would copy
and forward to her. AT the same time
I became more attentive than ever
and began to insist upon her naming
the day when we should be married.
She thought June was the prettiest
month for wedding, and at last we
came to an indefinite conclusion that
we would marry in June. Meantime my
letters to her over the signature of Mr..
Hart became more intense, as did hers
to him, and at last I proposed to her.
Now you would suppose that girl
would not accept man until she knew
something more about him, and par
ticularly that she would not when he
was only a hundred miles away and
could come in person and make his

chronic catarrh; second, arrangements of

THERE seems to be mistake in the
minds Of some people regarding the
new federal law allowing second
homestead entry under certain con-
ditiops. Recently the editor OF the
Record made the following inquiry at
the Bismarck land Office: 'sDoes the
law of June 5th allow second home
stead entry to person who has proved
up-prior to the passage Of the law
on homestead, and after ward lost it
by mortgage foreclosure or something
of that kind?" The answer was: "No;
it does not. Where the entryman has
made proof after five years. residence he
is not entitled to another entry" The
law allows a person who-previous to
the approval of the act-June S, 1900
made homestead fling and did not
prove up, or who paid for his land af-
ter fourteen (under previous law, six)
months residence, to make a new fl
ing. But, If he has proved up on one
homestead under the usual tive-years'
residence plan, he cannot take an.
other.

Washington, D. c. March 23.-Presi-
dent Gompers of the Federation Of La
Dor, G. S. Darrow Of Chicago, and 9TH
ers identified with organized labor, ap-
peared today before the judiciary COM
mittee of the House in advocacy of the
bill restricting the issuance of iniunc-
tons III time of labor disturbance. MIR.
barrow stated that the working people
considered this resort to lnJunc-
ton a fragrant infringement of their
rights which had grown to alarming ex-
tent of late. Commencing with the great
Chicago strike, he said, when Debs was
arrested, down to the present time, the
first act i'll the case of a strike was to
rush to the courts for an injunction. He
cited the Dcbs ease as typical, and relat-
ed how blanket injunction" was is
sued against large number of those
connected with the American Railway
union.
Mr.. Gompers urged that the labor inter-
est wanted to retain the time honored
trial by jury. They insisted, he said.
that there should be no injunction in Il
labor dispute, for labor had no remedy
when the injunction was once issued.
100 Out at Cleveland.
Cleveland, O., March ga largely
attended and enthusiastic meeting of the
striking macnlnlStS was held early to-
day. According to the reports received
more men were out today than on yes
terday. 1t was claimed that not less
than 100 men had joined the movement.
In addition to these it was pointed out
that IN many establishments large
number of moulders and patternmakers
had necessarily been compelled to cease
work owing to the machinists' strike.
Al the strikers headquarters this af-
ternOon it was stated that the machinists
in thirteen additional shops, with a total
of 421 men had joined the strike move
ment today, making the exact number of
men now out 1902. This does not in
Guide large number of men in other
trades, who have been rendered idle as a
result of the machinists' strike.
Spread Throughout the Country.
III. f. Devens, secretary of the Nation
al Metal Trades association, arrived in
the city today to look after the employ
ers' interests in connection with the
strike. He said that apparently the MA
chinists' strike would spread throughout
the country. His association would he
stated endeavor to furnish men to take
the places Of the strikers in Cleveland as
far as possible.
