FOOLS GOLD" DROVE
FAMILY 5000 MILES
In Crude Harness They Hauled a Load
ed Wagon Over the Cold and
Barren Steppes.

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov Z7-After
dreaming for months of possessing fabu-
ious wealth and diving in magnificent
palaces. after laboring for years and
travelling, since last May, across 5000
miles of barren steppes and almost inn
passable roads. drawing with their own
strength a heavy loaded wagon, the
members OF an ignorant Siberian family
are now in the city of Tomsk, in Siberia,
destitute and penniless. and will have to
walk home.
They Travelled to that city with a
wagon load of Fools Cold" The gilt
tering ore was taken from the Siberian
hills. in their native province. Much
time and effort was spent in selecting
the brightest ore.
Crossing the steppes the women strug-
gled in crudely devised harnesses by the
side of the men. In fact, for six months,
syery member of the deluded family has
been little else than a beast of burden.
Both men and women carried crude
weapons for defense in the event rob
bers should undertake to wrest their
treasure from them BY day and by
night some one was on guard, for the
toilers were in constant fear.
At the mint in this city they were told
that the ore was iron Pyrites, and that
the load was. at most. worth SO Broken
in spirit and inconsolable, the family
left the wagon at the mint and went,
hungry and penniless. in search of food.
