carry the money on their person and hid
it in a cave near Homer. After getting
safely away they separated, and never
met again. The total amount of the
booty was in the neighborhood of $4,000.

the place and removed $500, leaving the
rest untouched. He furnished the men
with complete directions to locate the
cave. All the landmarks and verbal di-
rections correspond, but the hidden cave

Woman's influence in Politics.

+ It is astonishing how powerfully,
though indirectly, the patriotic societies
Of the country have affected the DISPOSE
ton of almost all classes toward politics.
If family has a colonial or Revolutions
airy ancestor who did something worthy
OF mention it shows it's pride in the pos.
session. Logic acts inevitably. Thus, il
it was we'll in past generations FOR fam
jly to be represented III public life, it
should be still better now, when the ma
ton is so much greater and when its
prestige is SO universally acknowledged.
Therefore, rot only the old families, but
those who are not old in historical asso-
citation, feel the impulse toward political
position. It's social valve was never SO
high as it IS now, and the women have
made it so.-Saturday Evening Post.
