king, stripped of his royal robes, was
anointed with clay by the priests, prob
ably to the sound Of weird chants, and
the high priest blew gold dust over
him until he was coated from head to
foot with the precious metal. Then,
stepping on board a gilded raft with
his chief CaziQues, the king was towed
out into the middle of the lake. Sud-

Gus Kansas Farmer.
Wichita (Kan.) Cor. Chicago Inter
Ocean: This is the true story of the
undoing Of a Kansas farmer. and his
particular case has many a duplicate

his Nemesis. and his love for a rail-
road pass led him into all the trouble.
John Butternew was a prosperous Ger
ann farmer Of the Third district. He
had a fine farm. and 1t was we'll
stocked with blooded cattle and good
horses. He worked hard and prosper
ed. He had a pleasant home and some
promising children. The neighbors
pointed him out. as a happy SOUL That
was ten years ago. In those days q
tall man. flashily dressed, visited tA4
town where, Rutternew lived. He wore
annual passes over the big railroads.
The sight of these passes was Butter
news undoing. "Why should I not
carry passes?" Butternew asked him
self. 81 could travel then and have a
good time for nothing" The politi-
clan told the plain old farmer it was
easy to be elected to Office. and that
passes would then come from all Sides.
So Butternew entered the race for
congress and was elected. He forgot
to count the cost in enemies and
money, but he got the passes. Then
he commenced to travel. He neglected
the farm to see the sights in Chicago,
simply because he could ride on the
train free; he paid big hotel bills at
Galveston and st. Paul, for the same
reason, and he rode to Topeka twice
a week, Just to experience the sensa-
ton of riding for nothing. Time sped
by. The time for the renewal of the
passes came around. Butternew liked
the office, even II it was a losing thing
financially, SO he announced himself
as a candidate for reelection. He got
the nomination by a scratch. His OPP.
ponent, q wealthy man, spent lots 81
money in the campaign, and Butter
new was forced to mortgage his home
to raise the cash to fight him with.
TIE race was close, but Butternew was
defeated. and his passes were taken
up. By this time Butternew had the
train-riding mania. He could not stay
at home. Instead of trying to retrieve
his fallen fortunes he neglected BUSH
ness, and all the spare money he had
was used in trying to get back in pol
itics. But his power was lost. For
tune was against him. Last week the
sheriff sold his homestead under mort
gage foreclosure. Butternew is a wan
derer. his family is destitute, and he

Influence on the schemes Of Sir Walter
Raleigh, has given up to modern re-
search the secrets which 1t guarded for
tour hundred years.
Begota, the capital of the South Am
erican republic of Colombia, lies in a
mountain valley eight thousand feet
bow the level of the sea. In the
mountains near Bogota is the lake of
Guatavita. The waters of this lake are
to be drawn off to find the treasures
of Eldorado. From the end Of the
eighteenth century up to within a few
years ago the story of Eldorado has
been dismissed as being one of the
phantoms which haunted the brains of
the early explorers, having no founda-
ton except the inflamed imagination
which had been engendered by to
wealth of Mexico and Peru. But for
the last few years the old legend had
been studied, the old chronicles have
.heen examined and the chaff winnow-
ed from the wheat. Explorations have
been made, not as the conquestadores
made them, in shining mail and with
Haunting banners, but as dry and mus
