Marble Hill, 9th District.-Our farmers
are about ready to commence wheat seeding,
with the exception of the corn land. They
would seed earlier il the Hessian fly did not
exist az too late seeding very often results in
q poor crop, as last season proved. The late
corn ground grain was almost total failure.
At least in many instances the crop did not
pay for the labor of savingit. There are more
uncertainties with wheat than with any other
grain crop. Last winter and spring all grow
The Senior Gunpowder Club will meet this
week at the farm of DIR. ]. e. Orrison, on the
York road opposite Jessop M. E. Church, and
discuss the preparation for, and seeding OF.
grain crops.
A number of our people went to the tourna-
ment at Pikesville and on returning home
umbrellas saved the fine dresses from getting
spoilt. The people are bent on festivities Of
this kind and 60 where the multitude are.
During the county fair as many as 200 went
from the railroad station at CockeysvilIe and
hundreds went in carriages. The more the
happier were those in charge Of the exhibition.
The harvest home festival at Sherwood
Episcopal Church was Of interest and enjoyed
by those in attendance. The decorations Of
corn on the stalk and husked, the pumpkins,
with other vegetables and fruits, were very
prettily arranged. Choice flowers and vines,
also lighted candles, were placed about them.
Rev. A. T. Pindell made some earnest remarks.
Mrs. Rathie was organist. A treat Of confec-
tionery was distributed to all present. Western
Run Band failed in appearance owing, 1t was
thought, to the inclement weather =. s..ua
horses broke loose from Mr.. VIM. H. Nights
carriage owing to running in the darkness
against the side of bridge on the avenue.
Some of the family were in the carriage, but
fortunately no one was injured and but little
damage was done.
We were glad to see our fire-6ghters in pro-
cession on Tuesday evening. They constitute
the Marble Hill Volunteer Company and num-
Der 38 active members who have already done
effective work. All honor to those whose OBJ
ject is to save property and lives. Those who
do so from q neighborly interest are given
more credit than'thos who are paid. Owing
to the darkness the department did not show
10 advantage. We are blessed with such a
body of men that there is an assurance that in
case of fire all will be done that can be done.
We are favorably situated in many respects,
especially for beauty and symmetry ofelevation
for health. Our conveniences for the city and
elsewhere are good and the fertile soil is nat
urally responsive to treatment Many pictur-
esque building sites are spointed out with
pleasure.
It will be several weeks before the new
Country Club quarters will be ready. The
first coat of plaster is being put on.

We can hear the hum OF the threshing ma
chine every day. and the wheat crop seems to
be fair. but the grain is very damp and for
that reason the farmers are not receiving the
price they would were it dry. Some farmers
are threshing out enough for seed and will not
thresh the remainder of their crop until cold
weather comes, hoping the grain will bel
better condition by that time.

The American Girl.

Henry Labouchere in London Truth.
The prevailing tendency seems to be to
eulogize this young lady with fervor cal
eulated to create jealousy among her Brit
ish sisters. At any rate. my own feeling Is
that the American girl deserves all she
gets. l have seen good deal of her not
only In England, but on the continent. She
varies. like the offspring of all nationalities.
and 1t may be said of her. as of the little
girl In the nursery rhyme. that when She
is bad she is horrid.'' But at her best she
seems to me to eclipse the damsels of all
other nations 1 don't quite know how she
does it, and, not being poet. l could not
describe the process IL did. 1t is not that
she is exceptionally beautifT,- But she has
such an irresistible way With her; she is

she Is so witty and good-humored and she
enjoys life so thoroughly. In short, had /

MOOSE SCENTS DANGER.
Remarkable Tntuitions Among Wild
Animals When Peril is Near.

From the Metropolitan Magazine.
For some minutes he had been thus pleas
antIy occupied. when suddenly an obscure
apprehension stirred in his brain He stop-
ped feeding, lifted his head. and stood mo-
tionless. Only his big ears moved. turning
their wary interrogations toward every
point of The compass, and his big nostrils
suspiciously testing every current of air.
Neither nose nor ear. the most alert of his
sentinels. gave any report of danger He
looked about, saw nothing unusual and fell
again to feeding.
Among the wild kindreds. as far as man
can judge, there are occasional intuitions
that seem to work beyond the scope of the
senses. 1t is not ordinarily So else would
all hunting. on the part of man or of the
hunting beasts, be idle. But once in a
while, as IL by some unwilling telepathic
communication from hunter to hunted or
else by an obscure and only half delivered
message from the powers that preside over
the wild kindreds. warning of peril is con-
veyed to a pasturing creature while yet the
peril is far off and unrevealed. The great
moose found his appetite all gone. He back
ed off the sapling and let it's top spring up
again toward the empty blue. He looked
back nervously over his trail. shifted the air,
waved his ears inquiringly. The more he
found nothing to warrant his uneasiness
the more his uneasiness grew. 1t was as II

WILD FOWLS WINTER HOME.
Ducks and Geese Spend Cold Months in
Southern Louisiana
From Outing

From outing
Southern Louisiana is the winter home
of tens of thousands of all sorts of ducks
and geese which make their way down
along the Atlantic coast or by way of the
great lakes and the Mississippi river.
When far down a big detachment of the
birds swings westward over Texas and
goes to the southwestern coast of that
state between Corpus Christi and Browns
Vile Many of the flyers which escape the
guns of hunters in the Dakotas go to the
same place. Yet Louisiana continues to
receive it's share. Certainly no finer shoot
ing of the kind is to be had anywhere in
the world than in the rich country which
lies below New Orleans and extends west
ward to the Sabine river. Not only are big
bags to be made, but they are made in
comparative comfort, there being no freez-
ing temperatures to encounter, and they
consist of pretty nearly every variety of
duck known to American ornithology.
There in winters shooting a man may
learn the looks and habits and disposition
and flights of them all Whether he be-
comes a good shot or NOT will depend upon
the way nature fashioned him. An old

Silver in a Rut.

A similar discovery was made near Weth-
erby. in Yorkshire, when a heavy cart pass
ing over country road stuck fast in a rut,
and on being released disclosed a number of
silver coins which had escaped from the
burst lid OF a chest hidden under the road
way. Ii was assumed that the chest of
coins had been buried there in the perilouS
days of the civil war, and that the gradual
sinking of the road and the weight of the
passing cart had at last brought it again to
the light of day.

HIDDEN TREASU R E
UNEXPECTED PLACES WHERE
FORTUNES HAVE BEEN FOUND
Rich Find of Workmen in the River
Dove, staffordshire-Boys Dig
Up Gold Coins.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
Hidden treasure has an irresistible at
traction for the human race. On the slight
est hint from seer or fortune teller some
one is sure to dig where the buried treasure
is supposed to be, and disappointment does
not discourage another attempt when an
other tip is received Very few have
ever come upon hidden treasure, and the
few have found. it UNEXPECTEDLY.
Take, for instance. that romantic un-
earthing of 2c0.t4o coins in the bed of the
River Dove. in Staffordshire, seventy-two
years ago. Some workmen were engaged
in removing a mudbank which had formed
in the center of tine river when one of
them was amazed to find on raising his
spade that it 'gifttered with silver coins.
Attracted by the digger's exclamation or
establishment and delight, his fellow
workmen hurried up. and in moment half
a dozen men were scrambling and fighting
for the treasure, feyerfshly filling their
pockets, their hats and beer cans with
silver coins, which were worth their weight
in gold for they were of the time of the
first two Edwards, and had lain In the
river for five hundred years. That the
bulk of the treasure trove was ultimately
claimed by the Duchy of Lancaster matters
little, for it's finders had already appropri-
ated scores of thousands of the precious
disks.
Luck Of Boys.
Only two years later a few village bcys
were playing at marbles on Sunday after
noon in field near Beaworth. in Hamp-
SHIRE when one of them caught sight of a
piece of lead projecting from a cart rut in
a rough road that crossed the pasture.
Tugging at the strip of metal he disclosed
a hole. and through the exposed opening
he saw pile of glittering coins. bright as
if fresh from the mint. To fill his pockets
and those of his playmates was the work
of few moments. and so little did the
youngsters appreciate the value Of their
discovery that on their way home they
amused themselves by finging the coins
into the village pond.
Ultima tely nearly seven thousand coins
were recovered from this buried treasure
chest and they proved to be of the reigns
of William | and William II and in a won
derful state of preservation.
