The Old Farm
For $4,000
After Gold Was Found
on It.
Indiana Man Went to Klondike
and Became "Smart.

TT. Wayne Ind, Oct Royce Wins
ton, n well known farmer in this COM
munity, has always enjoyed the repu-
tation of being able to drive sharp
bargain. His farm, which lies near
the city, was an unproductive piece of
land, 1t is said, and about two years
ago, Winston went to the Klondike In
hopes of recuperatlng his finances, but
returned few months later with
nothing to show for histtrip but few
pieces of ore and a small knowledge
of mining. About month ago, 1t has
since been learned. Mr.. Winston re-
ceived two boxes from the region he
had visited, and the freight bills had
them labeled minerals
About two weeks ago friend of
Winston came from the Klondike for
visit. with his old pal.s A few days
later, while walking along the bed of
dried up creek which ran through
Winston's farm, In company with Her
man Feiger, neighbor. the miner
stopped suddenly and picked up rock.
After examining 1t carefully he start
led Felger by announcing that the rock
which he held In his hand was almost
pure gold. Further search revealed
several other rocks which were equal
ly rich in the precious metal.
The two men decided to keep the
discovery from Winston, and if pos
sible purchase the farm and develop
it's resources. When Felger approach
ed Winston for the sale of his property
he was at first fatty refused, but after
some bargaining a deal was brought
about whereby the farm was sold to
Felger for $1,000. Winston then left
the city to return, as he announced, to
the Klondike, and his friend from the
mining regions also disappeared in a
| few days.
| After procuring the property, Eel
ger had several samples of the ore as
sayed, and it was found that they were
| marvelously rich. The matter leaked
out, and the farmers along the bed
of the creek hunted industriously for
ore, but with no results. The only
place the gold-bearing rock could be
found was on the old Winston prop
erty.; The theory that rich bed Of
ore had been found was dispelled yes
terday by a mining expert from Chi
cago, who was brought down here by
Felger for the purpose of finding how
rich the pocket was. The expert de-
clares that the ore was placed along
the creek by human agency.

"MR .o'RE|LLY"
HERE TONIGHT
A Dance Which Has Caused a
Stir.

For those familiar with the twists
and turns of the Comedy of Errors"
there is rare delight in seeing the
characters they know on paper given
life and animation. To the few there
were in the big audience at the Colon
ial Tuesday night who were unfamiliar
with the play, it was as enjoyable as
to any others, for the company headed
by Stuart Robson was strong in every
detail. and the stage production of the
piece was beautiful.
The acting was exceedingly close TO
nature. Mr.. Robson's Interpretation
of the character of Dromio of Syracuse
was exceptionally fine, and though
there were those who considered the
part a minor one until the action had
fairly begun, indifference soon melted
away. and most of those who saw the
play were taken back many centuries
and lived with the actors the scenes
of the wonderful comedy, to which
nothing needs be added to make it as
interesting to the modern audience as
II was to those of ages ago.
Miss Eleanor Barry's Interpretation
of the part of Adrian, wife of Anti
pholus of Ephesus was remarkably
fne, and Edwin Hollis Antipholus of
Syracuse also stood out prominently.

Food Value of the Mushroom.


Time was when If was believed that
mushrooms presented the composition
of animal flesh. which led to it being
called animal beefsteak."
This conclusion was based on an
analysis made many years ago, when
analytical methods were crude, and
when the chemistry of food was not
we'll understood The most important
difference between the mushroom and
the steak is due to the rich proportion
of proteids-the so-called flesh formers
lin meat, as compared with the fee
BILE amount in the mushroom.
This fact, as ascertained by recent
analysis, hardly justifies the mush-
room being regarded as vegetable
beefsteak" 1t may be blow to the
vegetarian, but he would have to con-
sumo at least ten pounds of mush-
rooms in order to gain the equivalent
of a little over one pound OF prime
beef. Indeed, in the light of modern
inquiry there seems to be no reason
for believing that mushrooms possess
any greater food value than other or
binary fresh vegetable foods, ana III
many respects they compare unfavora-
bly, with them.--LondOn Lancet.

His Rebuke.


Years ago alta great university in Mas
sachusetts there was a distinguished
professor whose looks did not CORE
spond to the sweetness and power of
his mind. His face was one OF the
sort that suggests nicknameS, and his
ways of walking and talking were cas-
lily turned to caricature.
One of his students was a clever
mimic. He took off the drOlleries or
all members of the faculty to the de-
light of his fellow students, and this
professor came in for his share of rid
icllle.
1t happened that once when the MINI
il was amusing his classmates with
mutations of Professor -, one OF the
audience was a tactless telltale, who
boarded at the professors house. or
course he told the good old gentleman
that he had been the subject of irrev-
erent ridicule.
The next day the professor called
his mimic to his desk after class, and
said, quietly:
''Mr Harrison, / understand that
you have been having some fun at my
expense. l realize that ] lend myself
to caricature, and do not mind your
amusing yourself and others by taking
off my peculiarities. All / suggest is
that in the future you be careful to
