PIRATES TREASURE FOUND.
Dredging Vessel Pumping Coin From
Bottom Of Galveston Hay.

A dispatch from Austin. Texas gays:
Martin Ledder, a member of the United
states dredge boat crew employed in deep
ening the channel in Galveston bay under
Capt. George Nelson tells an interesting
story of the discovery OF evidence that this
treasure which was hidden by Lafltte the
pira te, lies at the bottom OF Galveston bay,
instead of being buried on Galveston Island,
as has long been supposed.
He says that the dredge boat George
Sealy has been pumping up old Spanish
coins and other relics from the bottom of
the bay for several days, and that the crew
believe that the bulk of the treasure. which
Is said to amount to hundreds of thousands
Of dollars in gold. will be recovered.
In addition to the coins, several hundred
pounds of copper bolts have been pumped
up. These bolts were used in the construo-
ton of ancient sea-going craft. The latest
date on the coins is 1872
Huge stones also have been encountered
in the bottom of the bay, and 1t is thought
that they were placed there by Lafitte TO
mark the location of the sunken treasure
A rusty shell of ancient type has been re-
covered in the same manner.

Island from 1916 until about 1928.

The Honesty Of Women.

From Harper's Bazar
1t has long been an axiom. in cases of
men who default. forge abscond, or en-
bezzle large sums. "Cherchez la femme"
The expert takes for granted that a wo-
man is always behind such dishonesties
Yet 1t would seem that man excuses him
self. in these cases. at the expense OF wo-
man. as Father Adam did in the garden;
for It lie conspicuous fact that woman,
when employed in business affairs herself
Is strikingly honest. Women bookkeepers
do not embezzle: women as merchants pay
their debts promptly; women as treasury
clerks are well known for their integrity.
The boarding house keepers, themselves
generally women. testify that their losses
almost invariably come from male boarders.
while those of their own sex are to be de-
pended upon for regular payments.
