time was one of the most prominent
railroad contractors in the state. He
was married in Ottumwa to, Miss Ell
len Strang the daughter of his employ

OF his employees in suspending work
for that day was an indication of the

Champions Of the Deadly Drug Form
Society In Paris.
Marvels will never cease! In spite
Of the general campaign against in
temperance and the abuse Of alcoholic
drinks. especially absinthe, a company
has actually issued a prospectus in
glorihcation of the green liquor.
1t is called The General Union Tor
the Defense OF Absinthe," and its OBJ
ject is to found in Paris. as well as in
the provinces and abroad, centers for
the purpose OF combating the propa-
ganda carried on against intemperanca
in general, and the consumption OF alb
sinthe in particular.
A perusal Of the prospectus leaves
one wondering what madmen are
these, but the cat is let out OF the bag
in the final clause, which refers q
the rational defense of absinthe and
the interests it represents. The
whole thing thus turns cut TO be a
move on the part Of manufacturers
who are seriously alarmed by the
growth Of the temperance movement

Il used to know a man who had a
habit of carrying odd stones in his
pockets" said a minister. HE was
a busy man. but in his moments Of
leisure he studied mineralogy and be
came "a connoisseur on the subject.
"He classified his own collection and
after some years it was examined by
an expert and appraised at a value of
$17,5O0.' He confessed that he had
picked up most of his treasures in
streets and besides paths where others
saw only worthless Things.
Recently l travelled abroad with a
young man recently graduated from
a famous university. He expressed
the belief that this country is in the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS politicians,
that the government aims to rob its
new possessions. that the churchgoers
are generally hypocrites and that the
capitalist class to which he belongs
by inheritance is deliberately impov-
erishing the masses, His illusions to
his own experiences showed that he
was finding what he expected to find.

SEEK BURIED TREASURE
Expedition Set Out Explore Island in the South
Atlantic
LN%NANAAAAAAN

Another company is being organized
in England for the purpose Of search
ing for buried treasure. This time it
is an uninhabited island in the South
Atlantic Ocean, and the treasure said
to be buried there consists OF loot
from Peruvian churches valued at
more than five million dollars. This
is to be the second treasure-seeking
expedition to this particular island.
Mr.. E. F. knight, the promoter Of
the company, made his first attempt to
find the buried loot fifteen years ago,
when he became the repository of Sc
cret information, together with a plan
relating to the deposit upon an unin-
habited island Of treasure forming the
loot of Peruvian churches. At that
time Mr.. Knight solicited the co-opera-
ton of a few young men of good
physique who could each contribute
five hundred dollars toward expenses,
and would take an active part in the
operations both aboard ship and in
unearthing the treasure.
He got so many responses that he
had no difficulty in picking out a most
desirable party of young men to as
sist in the undertaking. The treasure,
when found, was TO be evenly divided.
The steam yacht Alert was char.
tered, and the adventures sailed from
Southampton on August, 1889. This
expedition safely reached and explored
the island, but failed to find the hid.

he had good stories to tell of COM
radeship with men dead and living.
He smiled TO every child he met
and had kind word for every person
he met Everywhere men, women and
children were eager TO talk with him
and to do him service. When he
reached home he probably said that he
had never met so many agreeable
people nor had so enjoyable a trip.
Seems to me that each of these two
men found just what he looked for
and that most otaer folks will have
the same experience. Those who look
for selfish motives and evil purposes
live in a world where they see evil
dnces of corruption everywhere. Those
who expect the best from their fellow
men are always making discoveries
which delight them.
1T is simply the difference between
the mineralegist and his neighbors.
He found something valuable and they
found nothing, because they were not
looking for anything OF value and be
