ROUND LARoE SUMS on MONEY
A Kansas Soldier with Nose for HID

den Treasure.
II would seem that Lloyd Brown, a
Wichita (Kan.) soldier boy in the
Philippines, is possessed of either a
good nose for hidden money or OF that
robust imagination which has led so
many Wichita writer's on TO fame. In
a letter to a Kansas City paper he
says
when we captured Iudan we found
S72,5OO in Mexican money. We had
taken possession OF the hospital and
l went upstairs to find place to sleep
and thought would look around and
see what | could find. / saw some
sacks that l supposed to be filled with
grain, and l took out my knife and
ripped one of them open. You can
Imagine my surprise when, Instead OF
horse feed, there rolled out dollars and
half dollars. In the moment that It
took me to regain my breath from the
shock occasioned by finding more than
! could carry OF, the sergeant major OF
the Fourth cavalry came up, and as
he happened to know where the colonel
was, reached him and reported the find
as his own before l could find the
colonel. The money was turned over
to Gen. Schwan. and / have learned
since that the sergeant major was
given part OF 1t. have gathered up
coins from nearly every country OF the
world. While l was on the south line
we came upon large stone cross away
up in the mountains, and at the bottom
of the cross was a crack thre inches
long and one wide. We camped there
that night, and as was sitting near
by | noticed several natives drop some
thing like money. When they had gone
tried to get into It but could not.
That night some one tied some horses
to the cross and 1t fell down, reveal
ing a hole nearly deep enough for
man to stand erect In. which contained
about eight bushels of pennies. which
had been accumulating there for hun
dreds of years, no doubt. for found
several old coins, the oldest bearing
the date of 1904. No one took any OF
the money except as curios."

There Is, of course. n reason for all
this. People do not invent trouble
without some motive, and no doubt
the commendable purpose of the ofli
cial who invented this system OF
charges was to teach care and econ
omy to the cadets. Whatever is left
from the salary of cadet after charg
ing him with all these items remains
to his credit and is paid to him when
ever he goes on furlough or when he
graduates, which Is, of course, an in
ducement for him to be as careful as
possible In his expenditures. Further
more the knowledge that everything
that Is broken or injured is charged
against him makes him careful of Gov.
ernment property. For example, n
cadet Is required to pay for all the
stationery and soap that is issued to
hin. -4is dipper and his broom cost
twenty cents each, and. although these
are small items, it is probable that
many cadets take better care of their
dippers and their brooms and are more
economical in the use of their station
cry than they would be If such sup.
plies were free gift of the Govern
ment
Last year it cost each cadet fifty
three cents per day for his board and
they are fed very well for that money.
Some of the cadets are so careless
and eXtravagant in spending their al
lowance that when the time comes
for them to take n furlough they have
to appeal to their friends for money
to pay their railroad fare and buy
them citizens clothing to wear during
their vacation.-Chicago Record.

Before we leave the subject of Mary
Kingsley and the debt the empire owes
to her, we must say a word as TO the
fascination of her personality. She
was without doubt one of the most
attractive Of human beings Her al
most pathetic shyness was enough to
destroy all notion of egotlsm, or pride.
or pompousness, or vanity. but not
enough TO make her unsympathetic.
while an interest in all subjects worth
being interested in which never
tagged, and an unfailing sense of
humor which was never hard or un
kind, made Mrs. Kingsley delightful
companion. But Mary Kingsley had
beyond all this an intellect which II
is no exaggeration to say was OF the
first class, and she had also a wealth
of adventurous experience which be.

The Use OF Lightning Rods.

While a good many farmers consider
lightning rods delusion and snare,
yet the Investigations of scientists
prove that when properly put up and
grounded they are of great protection
to buildings. The best rods are made
of copper, aluminium or brass, but cop
per is generally used. 1t is cheaper
and the best conductor. Aluminium IL
also good conductor and the low
price at which it is produced com.
pared with a few years ago seems des,
tined to bring it into favor for this
purpose.
The best form of rod is that of
ribbon, say, one-eighth of an inch thick
by three-quarters or one inch wide.
In rodding building the points should
be not over forty feet apart and stand
six feet above the roof. They should be
connected along the ridge and the rods
run to the ground on each end of the
building Sharp turns must be avoid.

line through the air rather than turn

the roof and away from the building
by glass or porcelain insulators.
Unless the wire Is we'll grounded the
equipment will not prove satisfactory.
The conductor should be attached to
ground plate of copper having at
least Twenty-Five square feet of sur
face, including both sides. An old
copper boiler fattened out makes
cheap and effective ground plate. This
must be buried in damp earth, and If
possible should be located near
spring or stream. If the rods are also
connected to the water pipes a better
ground connection will be made. Moist
soil is the only kind which will con-
duct electricity, and if the plate can.
not be put in soil that is naturally
moist, provision must le made to wet
it slonally.-Amerlcan Agricultur-

The plants in flower beds are usually
to thick in the plots. 1t will be found
of advantage to give each plant plenty

the purpose of mulching the flower

season lasts, and with little trouble
and less expense. In the spring have
plot of ground plowed and narrowed;

about 200 or 800 plants, one or two
feet apart. The strawberry multiplies
rapidly, and in the fall of each season

General Mile. on GOOD Road.

General Nelson A. Miles tells the
story of an old teamster out West who
was driving over a very rough road
in the Rocky Mountains shortly after
the Geronimo campaign. He had the
general for a passenger. The wagon
was an old prairie schooner, without
springs or cushions. and the general
was vainly attempting to fall asleep.

argument for the construction of the

is being advocated by automobilists
and cyclists throughout the country.

Picking and Marketing Cherries.

Cherries should be picked with the
stems on. If they are for market this
is imperative. When the fruit rot is
bad 1t is necessary TO attend very
closely to the picking, for the cherries
rot with astonishing rapidity when
they are once ripe. They should be
picked as soon as Is consistent with
good quality, and the picking should
be done when the sun shines and the
fruit is dry.
The cherry is n most healthful and
refreshing fruit and should be used
In abundance. IL is one of the finest
fruits for canning, but it must be
grown in greater quantity than at
present before common folks can af-
ford to put 1t up for winter use. 1t
is perfectly safe to say that there is
ready and profitable home market
for double the quantity of cherries
now grown-and cherries are easier to
grow than potatoes York Week

Does 1t pay to grind the grain and
cut the hay? Opinions differ, as the
cost of the labor is sometimes greater
than the gain made by reducing the
feed. 1t is claimed that if grain is
ground there is a saving of one-third.
and that fifteen pounds of hay when
cut UP fine will be more servlceablc
than twenty pounds uncut. Cutting
the hay permits of mixing with it not
only ground grain, but lnseed or cot
