altar But the hieroglyphs on its upper
surface, to say nothing of the carved fig

sibilities. DR.. Hamy Is inclined to believe
that the monument marks treaty OF
peace between two warning tribes. The
text of the agreement, according to that
theory. is on top of the stone. and the fig
ures on the sides are those OF the partici-
pants in the negotiations.
Still another notable carving from Copan
is statue Of a woman, adorned with
necklaces of jewels and otherwise richly
attired. 1t is probably a representation
of some famous queen. but who she was

A little to the northward of Copan is
the ancient city of Quirigua Among the
most striking objects from this place are
two obeiisks, or stelae, which are elabor-
ately carved. On the front of each is a
curious network of designs in which hui
man faces, serpents and other animal
forms can be detected. Usually one face

covered with a mask. On the backs of
these monuments are Systematically ar
ranged glyphics-inscriptions whose
significance almost utterly battles any at
tempt at interpretation. One OF these
obelisks, 1.-THE Dwarf" Is twelve feet
high. A companion, which rose to an ele-
walton of fully twenty-five feet. could not
be accommodated in the hall, and has been
placed temporarily In another room, which
is provided with a gallery. In view Of
the fact that these monuments were evil
IDENTIFY erected to perpetuate the memory
of some famous man 1t seems fair In
ference that the masks were marks of
honor, like epaulets on a modern warrior
or the emblem of a high priest. 1t is
suggestive fact that among the North Pa
cihc coast Indians a mask Is often worn
during certain semi-religious ceremonies.

development by not milking clean and
promptly. She should be handled with
light hand. especially so IL her udder Is
swollen and tender. No scolding should be
permitted; calf never says word while
sucking, neither should a mixer while
milking. If her udder is much swollen,
foment it with warm water and use much
massage, rub 1t dry and anoint it with
fish oil, with one part of iodine in ten
parts of oil, which will be found useful
with which to thoroughly anoint the I'd

| possible to distinguish between the mask
| and the human face which 1t Is used to
| cover.
A colossal monolith, known as 1.-THE
Great Tustle of Quirigua," is completely
covered with symbolic carving. The most
conspicuous representation in front is that
of a huge figure, like Buddha, emerging
from the open jaws of some monster.
This design, by the way, is constantly
being encountered on other stones in the
collection. This turtle Is one of many
casts made by Mr.. Maudsley while in
Central America.
Palenque Is another famous center OF
interest. Here are ruins of numerous
structures devoted to worship and resi-
dence The one called 1.-THE Palace oc-
cupies the middle of the group. Per-
haps the most important reproduction
from that city is sanctuary. which pre-
sents three large bas-reliefs within and
two without The central one inside
bears among its carvings a plain Roman
cross, and for this reason the sanctuary
is called 1.-THE Temple Of the Cross"
The original of this central tablet is now
in Mexico. The original of the tablet
at the right. bearing hieroglyphics, is in
Washington. The panel at the left is a
reproduction of slab standing in the
woods near Palenque even yet. In front
are carvings believed to represent the
gods of rain and wind, the former being
at the left and the latter at the right.
Conspicuous among the other objects
from Palenque are certain figures sitting
cross legged and strongly suggestive of
the conventional image of Buddha. To
ascertain whether any relationship exist
ed between the two the Duke of Loubat
caused one of the carvings to be sent to
Bombay last spring for examination by
experts there. Their reply gave no en-
enlargement to the superstition. Other
attempts have been made. by exhibiting
these specimens privately to Hindoos Wis
iting in this country. to obtain an identi-
fication or clew. but with equally poor
success.
One Of the most precious treasures in

Little headway has been made In esq
tablishing resemblances between the
Mexican and Magyar hieroglyphics and
the mythology and civilization of ancient
Egypt and Assyria. Still less has been
done In translating the strange charac-
tiers here so permanently recorded. But

HE FOUND HIS FORTUNE.

Walter Adamson, of Durand,
Mich, is heir to S4,00O,000 in
England, and has been roaming
around for several years uncon-
scious of the fact.
He was lounging in the corri-
dor of the Body House says a
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record when he picked up a New
York newspaper and began to de-
YOUR its contents. Suddenly his
face lighted up and he exclaimed:
"Well, by Jove! That's my
picture, and l am the Walter
Adamson advertised for!"
Adamson says that two years
ago he left NewYork for theWest,
and has drifted from place to
place, so that his relatives have
been unable to keep track of
him.
In 1902, when Queen Anne as
cended the throne, John Adam
son, wealthy and honorable, died
in London, and his estate has
been handed down until E. b.
Humphreys, of New York, found
that Alexander Adamson was the
only living heir and had seven
children, of whom the Durand
man is one.
The elder Adamson died in
1889, and the relatives have been
looking for the wanderer since.
Adamson Immediately left for
New York to claim his vast
wealth.

and they started to run. Mr..

was thrown to the ground. The
roller pushed him along for dis
tance of ten feet and then ran ov-

A TRAMP AND A GIRL COME
TO GRIEF.

TO GRIEF.
The unhappy termination OF a
correspondence between aCham-
bersburg girl and man with no
visible means of support, butwho
hoped to marry the maiden, says
the Valley Spirit, came when the
police drove William G. Miller, a
German about "a years of age,
out of town and served notice on
him that if he returned he would
be locked up in Jail.
Rosa Dunkel is the name of the
girl. She is employed at the
mill of the Chambersburg wooden
company and is nineteenyears old
Very foolishly, some weeks ago,
she answered an advertisement
in a matrimonial paper and Miller,
who was then in Henderson, KY,
began corresponding with her.
To all of his offers of marriage
the girl very properly answered
in the negative. He came here a
short time after Easter and call
ed upon her. If she had thought
to meet an attractive suitor she
must have been sadly disappoint-
ed, for the man was a most un-
couth specimen.
Miller is evidently a tramp, for
he disappeared after his first Wis
it telling the girl he would come
again. She did not want to see
him and tried hard to keep out of
his way. He returned and going
to the wooden mill insisted upon
seeing her, declaring his inten-
ton of remaining until he could
have an interview with her. Bad
ly frightened the girl sought the
protection of the police and it
was then resolved to show the
sultor no quarter
He was taken to headquarters
where it was found that he had
but SO, with which he said he
meant to marry the girl, who was
also at headquarters. In the
presence of the burgess she for
mally declined to marry him and
then it was Chief of Police Null
served notice on him that he
must leave town. He had been
before the police before
as the prosecutor in a case
in which he charged three town
young men with having assaulted
him along the tracks of the West
ern Maryland railroad. He is
not likely to press this suit as he

ably quite distance from Cham
bersburg by this time. A pho
tograph of the man was furnish
ed the police.
1t is the picture of tall young
fellow with dark mustache and
rather good looking. There was
little resemblance between the
photograph and the original as
Miller left the police station. He
was poorly dressed and gaveother
evidence of being a knight of the
road. He had written from var
ious points in Indiana, Maryland,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania
and claims to be florist and en-
engineer.
