Revising the Family Bible.

Have you a revised copy of the
New Testament in the library. Miss
Reid?" asked theyoung man, who was
making an evening call.
"No Mr.. Slow" she replied, / regret
to say we havn't."
whats a revised copy?r asked
Bobby, who had been permitted TO
sit up later than usual.
''You are rather young yet, Bobby,
to understand such matters" said
his sister, kindly. "a revised copy
means that certain changes have
been made in the Bible which were
considered necessary to a better un-
derstanding of the text. Now, you
had better run off to bed-there's a
good boy"
The young man could scarcely con
ceal his admiration.
"Well, if that's what it is" said
Bobby, ''our family Bible is revised
cause pa changed it the other day
He scratched out the date of youl
birth and made il three years later
He tod ma something about you and

SCHOONER HERMAN GIVES UP
HER SEARCH FOR TREASURE
Captain Brown Said to Have Confessed That
lie Never Knew Where the Loot Was
LocatedVisited Twenty Islands.

American schooner called the Black
Witch, Captain Smith, which hailed
from Salem, Mass.
"The treasure was said to be worth
some $50, 600, 900. 1t consisted of a
great quantity of jewelry, church ser
vice plate, and barrels of silver dol
lars. Captain Smith sailed from CAL
lao with this valuable freight and went
to Cocos Island, which was then little
known. He took the treasure ashore
and cached it. Then trouble arose
amongst the Black Witch:s crew, and
heavy weather was also experienced.
The upShot was that Captain Smith
and another man were the only per-
sons to return to the mainland. The
captain made his way home to Salem,
and related his experiences to his son.
In the latter part of 1S49 / was mate
of a New York ship lying at Kingston,
Jamaica, West Indies, which in those
days was the most approved rendez-
vOus for pirates in those parts.
made the acquaintance of Captain
Smiths son, who was master of fine
big schooner which he was fitting out
ostensibly for pearl fishing, as a
blind to the custom house officers. He
was really going for the Cocos treas
ure. At that time, of course, I was
only youngster and fit for anything,
and he had little difficulty in inducing
me to join him, which I did; he sailed
as master and I as mate. Well, to
cut a long story short, we arrived at
Cocos island, and had no trouble in
finding the treasure, which we quickly
transferred to the schooner. Then
we set sail for a certain island in the
Tahitian group. There we excavated
a cave and planted the treasure, to-
gether with some more which we had
added to it. Well, after that I came
away in a small yacht.
'The master and crew of the schoon-
er died and the schooner was burned.
II came across to Australia and
landed at Guichen Bay near the mouth
of the Murray. 1 brought with me
s5,000,000 of the treasure, but as blind
first went on to the gold diggings.
Subsequently I took up a cattle and
sheep ranch at Mount Gambler, and
later on / went to England. I re-
mained in London about ten years as
a shipbroker. Then I went to Amer
lea. and I have since been carrying

The above dispatch chronicling as
it does the end of the Inflated treasure
hunting expedition fathered by Cap
tain Brown, would seem to indicate
also that Captain Brown has been
playing some sort of a game upon the
men who have been paying the ex-
fpenses of the Hermann expedition.
The expedition has always had more
or less trouble. In Honolulu there
We're several quarrels between Brown
and his passengers who were search
ing for the alleged $50, OOo,O 900 treasure,
and in Samoa another fight was had,
which ended in a portion of the men
on the boat abandoning the expedi-
ton. In Sydney there was still an
other dispute which eliminated in a
lawsuit. Captain Brown finally re-
linquished command of the vessel, and
went along as passenger.
Captain Browns alleged confession,
for he was the originator of the
scheme, according to his own story,
would indicate that he has a most
vivid imagination.
The following is in brief Browns
story of how he happened to discover
the treasure"
"I was born in 1892 in California,
my parents being Mexicans, and
went to sea when very young. In re-
gard to the treasure, 1 must tell you
that in 1922 there was trouble between
the Spaniards and Peruvians, and as it
was feared that the Spanish gun
boats would lombard the city of Cal
lao the authorities transferred the
whole of the national funds, to an

ROCKEFELLER HAS
GRIP ON RUSSIANS

BERLIN, Dec. S.-The bourse here is
keenly interested in the rise in the
price of Russian kerosene at Baku,
from 15k copecs a pood to 80 since Sep
tenlber, attributing the same to pur-
chases by the Standard Oil company.
The Tageblatt's financial article says
the Rothschild- Nobel group was for
merly obligated to deliver to the Stand
ard Oil certain quantity of crude oil.
The agreement ended in September, the
hschild-Nobel group then being
thirty-six million pools behind with
its deliveries.
The Standard Oil company, therefore,
refused to renew the agreement and
entered the Russian market in .compe-
tition with the Russian exporters.
Operators on the bourse anticipate
serious conflict of gigantic financial in:
terests, extending from Japan to Liver
pool, and possibly affecting other than
oil interests.
