HID HER MONEY AT HOME.
Wealth for Heirs to Search Out
I'm Strange Places.

Mistrust of banks and the accumula-
ton of large sum of money through
the most careful frugality extending
over a quarter of a century are the
chief points in a story which comes
from Rush Lake Junction, little place
four miles north of Ripon, Wis, chiefly
noted as the abiding place of wild
ducks at this season of the year. The
revelation came from the death bed of
Mrs. Rosanna Fuller, who for more
than 30 years has been selling butter
and eggs at market at Ripon and else
where. Just before breathing her last
she notified lifelong friend and neigh
Dor that if search was made in the pam
try and in an old bureau drawer which
she specified some money would be
found.
This neighbor, fearing a possible ac-
cusation of bad motives if he made the
search alone, told the attending physi-
4eian, Dr.. -F-A- Eserhard, of Ripen, OF
The woman's dying statement, at the
same time urging him to make the nee
essary investigation. He assented, and
n search in the pantry resulted in the
finding of $1,000 in gold in an old Delft
pitcher. Some unwashed fruit cans
were in the pitcher on top of the
money. In the bureau drawer were
seven packages Of money wrapped in
yarn and Sewcd into the lining of an
old skirt, These packages were found
to contain currency folded three times
and SO old and muSty that the bills
stuck together, The aggregate sum
was Sl,i90,
This genesis of money finding only
inspired further Investigation, and the
next success was some equally old cur
rency in an older Bible. There was
$500 N money and first-clasA securities
amounting To $1,000, Six hundred dol
lars was found behind an old picture
on the wall and several hundred more
in old tin cans, In Il safe in the dining
room was over $4,000. The heirs have
put the money in the bank.

useless hulks is the reason for the
