termined that he would never go back to
his native town and confess that he had
been unsuccessful in his search for for

A few years ago.. while Chapman was
in the Koeteney district, in British Col
umbia, he meta miner who had recently
returned from the Yukon country in
Alaska. The miner told stories Of gold
that lay in the creeks along the course
{ of the greatsriver. CHAPMAN went to
Alaska.
That was before the rush of gold hunt
ers that followed the Klondike dis
coveries. There were mo mail facilities
. in the interior, as there are now. Once
man got into the wilderness he was
! effectuallys cut eff from communication
with the outside world until he again
made his way to thegcoast. Chapman
lived and worked with the few hardy
prospectors who were at that time in the
country, now finding a pocket" now
searching for months without finding
even trace of color to reward him
for the hardships incident to life in that
inhospitable land. he did not write to
his wife, constantly in his thoughts.
The hunt for gold had become passion
with the man, but he dreamed continual
ly that some day he would be able to
return home and shower luxury upon the
faithful little woman who was waiting
for him. 1t seemed to him she must
know he was searching for wealth-and
that while he searched he was working
for her.

bands letters ceased Mrs. Chapman still
hoped for his return. But as time passed
and no tfdings came from the absent CHE
she began to fear that he was dead-that
he had persisted in some faraway mininS
camp in that great country of the West
that had allured him from Ter side. The
fear grew into a certainty.
The little hoard of money that had been
left with her gradually melted away.
of her home An honest, industrious
man who was able to care for ner and
who loved her offered her marriage. For
a long time she gave no encoura cement
to the suit of Charles K. Ives, but the
pressure of necessity grew greater, and
before her eyes was the picture of dire
want in the near future Then the ineYita-
ble-believing her husband dead-she mar
ried Ives.
A year later James Chapman returned
to Akron. an expectant joy shining In
his rugged face, and in; his pockets Sc
curities for millions. He inquired for his
wife and found her-the wife of another.
There was no scene" no rep-uacheS, no
bitter Words-only sad greeting and a
parting, and then a broken man, grown
suddenly old, boarded the train and once
more faced toward the West.
James Chapman returned to the klon-
dixie, but SO changed was he that his old
companions of the mining camps scarce
" recognized him. He was no longer one
of them. The ideal to which he had
chung for a decade and a half had sud-
denly been shattered before his eyes, and
with its destruction the light went out of
his life.

Then came the news that couple of
prospectors had found gold-lots of gold
on the l<londike, far up the Yukon. With
renewed hope Chapman and his COM
panions packed up their seanty belong
ings and with all haste sought the new
diggings. They were on the ground
early, and knew the Eeculiarities OF the
party secured one OF more claims that
proved wonderfully rich in the precious
And the most fortunate of all was
James Chapman. The one-time- book
keeper suddenly found himself a million
aire. His original locations turned out TO
be immensely rich and he bought ether
claims that were very rich also.
AT last fortune had been generous to
him-more generous than he had dared
to hope in widest dreams. He could re-
turn home, now-homey to his native
town, home to the wife who had waited
for him all these years. He had been
absent fifteen years. though 1t seemed
but a short time now that he was rich.
Taking letters of credit for million or
two and a big sack OF gold nuggets,
inst for mementos, he set out on his
tourney to Ohio. To his fellow travellers
on the steamer that finally landed him
at Seattle he coHfided his plans for t:le

illuu1ine the face of his wife when she

strength, in energy and in hope. He
was an employee of the great manufac-.
turing concern of Whitman, Barnes &
Co., of Akron,zO. BY inherent ability
he had risen from one grade to another,
until he held the position of head book
keeper He had fitted up an unpreten-
tious but comfortable home, in which he
lived with his wife, and the happiness
of the young couple was the envy of
many.
THE LUCKY STRIKE.
But Chapman was ambitious. Tales of
great fortunes suddenly acquired in the
faraway land of the new West inf1amed
his imaginatio and made him dissatis-
fed with his condition One day he told
his wife he had determined to leave
Akron and go West. He had saved a
comfortable sum from his salary and
this he turned over to his wife before
leaving home. He took only money
enough to last him few months, trust
ing to his ability to make more. At that
time his intention was to make but a
short stay in the West and then return
to his home.
Chapman went to California, to Oregon,
to Washington, to British Columbia-al-
ways seeking for wealth and always fail
ing to find it. Luck seemed against him,
and at times he was scarcely able to earn
sufficient for the bare necessities of life

waiting patiently for him in their Ohio

he was not yet ready to return. He de-

The life story of James Chapman. mil

alleis outside of the pages of flction-and

his later years one must turn to the hero

The story of James Chapman forcibly
illustrates the truth of the old saying
that wealth cannot purchase happiness.
After spending his best years in the pur-
suit of wealth-years of toll and great
hardships, many of them-Chapman is
now possessed of millions, but he is a
bfoken-hearted cid man, with the JOY
gone from his life and nothing but his
gold to give him comfort. Even the
pleasures of anticipation, the hope that
some day he should share his wealth
with the woman who was his companion
of his young manhood, even that Is de-
MED him now. Had it not been for this
hope, which was his until recently, James
Chapman would in all probability never
have amassed a fortune.

THE STORY oE~HIs LIFE.

The hope was TIE inspiration that
nerved his heart and steadied his hand
during the long years of hard work and
perilous adventure that he experienced
before the goal he had striven for was
won That other goal-the happiness he
fondly dreamed would come to him when
fortune should at last smile on his deter
mined suit-he was destined to look for
in vain. But the, illusion remained with
him until he had accomplished every
thing he deemed necessary-and then
came the awakening.
Here is the story of his life-a true
story, though as sad as that other that
Tennyson only dreamed.
Fifteen years ago James Chapman was
a young man-young in years, young In

Entitled to a Prize.

The editor of the Boone Banner is entitled to leather medal for the following story:
 s'It has been claimed for years by the relatives of old man Wad- ley that during his life time he buried a pot of gold, some S1 600 to S2, ,000, on his place east of town, now owned by Judge E. G. Mitchell. Efforts have, recently been made to locate the place with mineral rod. The rod, as we are informed, gave evidence of money being near an old ap- pie tree, but the parties manipu- lating the rod had not agreed as to the exact point, intending to make further investigations right away. Late last Sunday evening party was seen going in that direction with a pick ana shovel. Monday morning it was ascer- tained that a hole had been dug in the ground to the north of the above mentioned apple tree show ing evidence of a pot having been taken out. An old pot was found near the spring that showed the prints of twenty dollar gold pieces in the bottom. Mrs. E. F. Gra- ham and Mrs. Nancy Holston, of Harrison, are daughters of old Mr. Wadley. We understand the pot lately found is in the pos- session of one of these parties. Mr. Graham says they have pret- ty strong evidence as to who found the pot of money, but are waiting further developments" ;"

Three Children Die ill one Hour.

A dispatch from Van Buren dated the 10th says:
 Three children of James Ma lone, living near Uniontown, this county, met violent death with in an hour of each other yester- day in a most remarkable manner.
 The two oldest sons, 3 and 4 years of age, respectively, were left at home, while the mother, with her 9-months-old babe, was at Leeds Creek, doing the family washing. Hearing her older chiidrens' screams, the mother rushed to her cabin, to find that they had been bitten by a rattle snake. The children died one hour later.
 Remembering the babe she had left crawling about the banks of the stream, Mrs. Malone hurried back, only to find it had fallen in and drowned, the body having lodged in some driftwood a hun : dred yards below.
 The three children were buried in the same grave at Stillwell,

are having weekly wages, how many are there who have enough self control and foresight, enough sense and responsibility in the matter to say: It is only little money that 1 can put by each week, and by and by 1 shall face some problem of life where 1 shall need capital of my own to solve it; and l will see if cannot secure that by the accumulation of littles.'
 If there were more who would do that, there would be fewer poor people, fewer middle aged men in financial trouble. 1t only needs that young men should learn the value of littles while they are young men. 1 have been told by business men that when they started in the world the most difficult thing they had to do was to save the first thousand dollars. Most young men, it seems to me, do not quite ap- preciate how readily this may be done, if they are only true to themselves in all the little things in life.
 I believe there are but few young men who might not save a thousand dollars by the time they are thirty, if they cared to try. They are untrue to themselves in these little things, just because they are little. They spend ten, fifteen, twenty five and fifty cents in this way or that because it is hardly worth while to do any thing else with it..

A Boy The World Wants.

Boys are always in demand be- cause they are the material out of which men are made, and as first class material IS always at a premium in every line of trade, so the boys who give promise of making first class men are most eagerly sought after, says an exchange.
 The boy the world wants today is the one who can be trusted to handle money without any of it sticking to his fingers or finding it's way into his pockets. He will take as much interest in the af- fairs of his employers as if they were his own, and will stay fifteen minutes without being asked, to finish piece of work after the whistle blows and the rest of the men have quit work. He will be able to write 8 business letter and spell the words correctly, and to add up column of figures promptly and accurately. He will lift his cap as readily to his sister when he meets her on the streets as he would were she the sister of some other boy, and he will not be ashamed to walk to church with his mother, show her into her own pew and sit beside her during service. He will be careful in making a promise, and just as careful about keep ing it. He will have sufficient backbone to say no to those who would lead him astray, and will have enough courage to own that he is striving to make a man of himself.
