Searching for Treasure.

A number of MeXicans with teams,
plows and scrapers are excavatlng
near Westphalia, claiming to have in
their possession maps and charts show
ing treasure to be buried there to the
amount of $780, 600 in Mexican doub-
looms.
They say that the treasure is buried
near what is known as the Bull tank.
and have agreed TO pay the owners
of the land on which they are at work
q certain per cent of the find for the
privilege of eXcayating. This treasure
Is said to have been buried during the
Texas and Mexican war. 1t is said
tradition has existed that large sum
in Mexican doubloons was buried
somewhere on the banks of Pond
Greek and another that there was
treasure of considerable amount in
Mexican money buried at some point
along the bank of the Brazos River,
near Marlin.
Many excavations have been made
to locate the buried treasure, both on
Pond Creek and the BrazOs River
These efforts were not only made by
home people, but strangers have gone
in and eXcavated, among whom were
Mexicans. A few years ago it was no
uncommon thing to see deep holes dug
along the banks of these streams, pre-
sumaEly by parties in search OF the
lost treasure, but If any money has
ever been found in this manner the
fact is not known.

FRED GRANT AND HIS BOOTS.
Why the General Put Them Under
His Pillow at Bedtime.

hS sAiAOW ht bcuti"cs
General Fred Grant always sleeps
with his boots under his head when
he Is travelling on a train and quite
frequently when he puts up for the
night in strange place.
The story of how he formed this
habit came out one night several years
ago when a fellow traveller beheld the
general occupied in carefully tucking
his foot covering underneath the pill
lows OF his sleeping car berth.
Il guess III never break the habit"
said the general in his slow, easy-go-
ing way, mo matter how much I'm
laughed at, as you're doing now. But
once it was no laughing matter to me,
| can tell you.
while the Civil War was being
fought was a cadet in West Point.
one summer when vacation time was
close at hand my father promised me
that l could spend it in the field with
him, and as soon as | was permitted
TO leave the academy on furough
took the train south to join him.
Il was in high spirits until | awoke
from fine nights slumber and start
ed to put on my boots. To my horror
they were not where l had placed
them and though | searched for them
high and low they could not be found.
Some rascal had walked off with them
In the night and he had also helped
himself to my hat, as | discovered
later on.
Il was in nice dilemma and mat
tiers were helped only slightly by the
porter scurrying around and finally
raklng up a pair of dilapidated rub
bers and an old hat that looked as If 1t
had been through a seasons cam
paignng. But | had to make the best
Of the situation and when | stepped
forth into the cold world at Washing
ton | must have presented an anus
ing spectacle as regards head and
feet.
II Gidn't have enough money with
me to buy new boots and hat; neither
was | armed with any letters which
would give the shOpkeepers confidence
in me. There was only one thing to
do, and | did 1t. | tramped around
Washington looking up my fathers
friends, and when 1 found one l pour
ed my troubles into his ears and he
graciously advanced me the price Of
the articles of clothing / needed most
And you can rest assured that when
took my boots off that night slept
upon them, and I've been doing SO
ever since."-St. Paul Globe.

prince trundled the wheelbarrow along
a carpeted track about thirty yards in

NATURES JOKES.
Some Freak Forms of F1owers-AppIa
blossoms ON Rose Bush.


Gardeners all over the world are
toiling to produce new flowers. Ma
ture, In freaklsh moment, will some
times accomplish what generations of
horticulturists have been unable TO
effect.
AS an instance in point. there Is a
Malmoison rosebush in a garden at
Violet Hill, Stowmarket, which one
summer recently produced most as
tonishing floral freak. The rose grows
near an apple tree. and when one of
Its largest buds first burst into bloom
it was seen that five perfect apple
blossom petals were springng In its
center.
Every year as horticuturists go
further aield, and search more and
more thoroughly the out-of-the way
corners of the earth their emissaries
bring in newer and more strange flow
ers. Perhaps none are more wonder
full than some of the new forms Of the
resurrection plant. of which the rose
of Jericho is the best known exam
pie.
A resurrection flower lately found
In Mexico is shrunken rounded ball
of dry, dead leaves until it is put into
water. Then 1t expands INFO a great
loose mass of filmy green, the petals
fly apart, and blooms expose their
fluffy centers.
A flower discovered on the sthmus
of Tehuantepec in the early morning
blooms a pure white; by midday it
has changed to perfect red. but be-
fore it closes at nightfalI ii has turn
ed to a pale blue. Even more won
derful than its change of color is the
fact that at noon only does 1t give out
any perfume
Australia boasts many strange flow
ers-far more, indeed than most peO-
pie imagine to exist in her gray green
| forests. The Christmas bush is IA
nous because its masses of small pink
and reddish blooms are used as sub
stitute for holly
But the strangest flower Is the New
South Wales flannel flower. 1t is so
called because it has the exact APP
pearance Of having been carefully cut
out OF white flannel.
Green flowers are very rare in ma
| ture. The iXia is one of the very few
plants which has a natural green va

In one sense, all our gardens are

tic and vari-colored blooms which
adorn the beds and borders are. al

produced by long selection and intens,
cultivation.
But nature can and does do funn,
things at times in her own garden

OUR RELIGIOUS eoplEa
Only. 3o,ooo,oo0 Are Members Of
Churches.

DR.. Walter Laidlaw. long a distln-
guished authority upon church stats.
tics, has published an elaborate esu-
mate OF the present strength OF relig-
lous bodies In the United States, which
is interesting because il brings down
nearly to date work which the census
bureau attempted in vague and ten
tative way four years ago.
In u rough division OF the people OF
the United States according to their
religious views and connections, DR..
Landlaw classes about 30,000o00 out
OF 81 ,O00,0O as church members or
these 30,OO0,000 the Roman Catholics
number more than one-third. 1t is
calculated that since 1890 the Catholics
in the United States have increased
about GO per cent, or over 4,0O00O0.
! Considerable of this increase was due
to immigration. In the same fourteen
years the growth of the population
cannot have been more than 30 or, at
the most, IS per cent
The Roman Catholics constitute
about 10 per cent of the entire popula-
ton of the United States. In some
great cities and States they are far
stronger than that proportion would
indicate. Nearly or quite one-third of
the population of New York City are
Catholics and the percentage is almost
as great in Cleveland. 1t must be still
higher in Boston. where the French
Canadian element is large and fast in
creaSing.
According to DR.. Laidlaw the Prot
estant Church members have increased
30 per cent since 1890 thus gaining at
least as fast as the gross population
of the United States. or the larger
the Methodist churches, of all kinds
are credited with nearly 100000 com.
munic0nts. The Baptists number over
4.T25, 900 and the Lutherans about
2,265 900. There are some 2.0J0,ON
Presbyterians, including among them
the Dutch Reformed and Reformed
churches, because of their close simi.
larity in organization and beliefs. DR.
Jaidlaw credits the Protestant Epis.
copal Church with 7S2,543 members
and the Congregationalists are esti-
mated at 659,7O
The Jews are estimated at more
than 100000 New York City is their
greatest stronghold The Mormons
are counted as less than 100000 and
the Christian Scientists seem much
underestimated at 10000 There are
believed to be 1900 members of vari
Gus communistic societies. The Unita
rians and Universalists are estimat tee
at about 125, 900.
