TREASURE Still THERE
One Farmer That Was too Smart For
the Bunno-Steerer.

"There are folks who imagine that
every farmer is dead easy to swindle,"
said the broad-shouldered agrlculturist
while the llghtning-rod theory was I'M
der discussion, but they make great
mistake there. Any travelling swindler
will End ten victims In town TO one In
the country. The farmer has to get
his eyeteeth cut early in the game or
lose his acres. There Is hardly day
in tht year that some one Is not trying
TO get the better of him, and most or
us can see through a stone wall as well
as any other class. Lord save We, but
I'll t,et | turn down more rascals In a
month than any lawyer, doctor or mer-
chant does in five years. Do you see
these knuckles? Well, bruised them
agai nst a fellows head only four days
ago, and 1t was rather funny thing.
He was well-dressed, soft-talking
stranger and he drove up to my place
and took me out to the barn for a pri-
vate interview. l rather expected he
wanted to sell me a gold brick, but be
had better thing. After good deal
of mystery he said:
a. Mr., Thimpson, there is treasure
of 100000 in gold buried on your farm
and IL you'll give me $1,000 I'll locate
the exact spot
'"rhat trick Is as old as the hills. |

times. You see, they always want
theit 81 900 in advance. Then they tell
you not to dig until the moon Is full.
and so have time to get away. When
they don't do it that way they have
box planted for you to dig up. There
Is NO key to 1t, and while the farmer
Is taking it to town to have 1t opened
the faklr is travelling the other way.
They won't wait for their thousand out
of tie box, and always have good
reason why. This chap said the hun
bred thousand was stolen from bank

He went end over end and got up and

uis,ortcal Divisions of Time,

For convenience time IL, by his
torIans, usually divided into three
great eras-ancient, medieval (or mid
dle) and modern. The ancient period
is considered TO extend from the earll-
est times down to the fall OF the Ro-
man empire IN the west In A. ID. 4I6;
the medieval from that date to the
discovery of America by Columbus In
1892 and the modern from that time to
the present. Some historians prefer to
put the end Of the medieval period ut
the capture of Constantlnople by the
Turks about 40 years earlier than the
Columbus event. The dark ages are
often held to be coeval with the me.
dlnval era, but some authorities think
that the term should be applied only
to the part of the era extending from
the downfall of the empire of Charlie
magne, in the ninth century, onward.

II looked down into the water, and
there, at the very end Of furrow, was

"'Clams,' he answered. briefly, with
slight tone of wonder in his voice at
