tain Then she hurried over to the
second-grade room, brought out a
dozen children and set them to work
singing and playing games among the
frightened herd of little ones.
Like sprites of Fairyland drawing
frightened children into the sweet
mountain paths from dreary city high
ways, they accomplished what no
teacher could have done, and began to
draw the other little ores into the
paths of learning before they knew
anything about it.
With the newness beginning to wear
off from their surroundings, the teach
er asks for volunteers to tell stories
to the class, and gets a response that
keeps her busy selecting the perform
ers. Johnny now stands up smiling
and tells the class all about two little
girls who went out walking one day.

blue eyes, an they saw house on
top of hill an they vented to it, an
witch lived there, an they wasn't
never seen in the world no more, an
next morning the whole hill was COW

that's all.
When Johnny took his seat the
teacher sent all the class to the black
boards round the room and told them
to draw a picture illustrating the Won
derful tale, which everybody proceed
ed to do.
Then one of them was sent out Of

Ing treasure to be buried there to the
amount of 100000 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
a certain per cent of the find for the
privilege of excavating. This treasure
is said to have been buried during the
Texas and Mexican war. 1t is said a
tradition has existed that a large sum
in Mexican doubloons was buried
somewhere on the banks of Pond
Creek 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-
sumably by parties in search of the
lost treasure, but If any money has
ever been found in this manner the
fact is not known.

pupil. The bright, the dull-witted, the
awkward, the graceful, appeared in
turn. This simple game of hide and
seek is one Of the most certain ways
a teacher has of ascertaining the true
mental status of each child under her
care.
When this game was over the first
day of school was over, too. All round
the door, as the children babe their
teacher an affectionate good-by, were
clustered older brothers and sisters
waiting to take their charges away.
A very few minutes afterwards in
homes all over the district eager and
delighted little ones were giving a
breathless account of their first expert
eDce.
A few hours afterwards when John

eventful story was told over again.

Johnny will be going to school for
long time before he gets acquainted
if indeed he ever does-with the
bngaboos faced by his father in his
school days. He will be there six
months before he is even permitted to
use a pencil. He will be developed
naturally, not artiicially, along well
thought out lines of least resistance
And under the guise of childish play
he will gradually imbibe more real

A travelling salesman from New

bama town. in which there was no
hotel. The best accommodations that
the salesman could secure were in the
house of farmer on the outskirts of
the town; and even then he could not
obtain a room. He occupied a cot in
the hall, and to screen him from the
observation a sheet was hung across
the passageway.
During the night the miserable sales
man awoke to find himself in a terri
BILE draft. The wind was tapping his
curtain about in most alarming way.

UPSETTING A PORCUPlNE.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

One hot August afternoon two men
were padding along the edge of a lake,
each in a small dugout canoe. w. ID.
Hubert, one of the travellers, tells in
Forest Neighbors. of an adventure
which befell his companion. They had
noticed a porcupine asleep in the sun
shine on the nearby horizontal trunk
of a tree, the roots of which had been
undermined by the waves till it leaned
far out over the lake, hardly a foot
from the water.
My friend, by the way, writes Mr.
Hubert, is the foreman of lumber
camp. He has served in the British
army, has hunted whales off the coast
of Greenland, married a wife in Grand
Rapids, and run street car in Chica-
go. He is quite a chunk of a man, tall
and decidedly well set up, and it would
take pretty good prizefghter to whip
him, but he learned that day that
porcupine at close quarters is worse
than a trained pugilist

me. Pm going to ram the canoe into
the tree and knock him off into the
water. Just you watch, and you'll see

laid my paddle down and awaited
developments. Bang! went the nose
of the dugout against the tree, and
the porcupine dropped, but not into the
water. He landed in the bow of the
canoe. and the Mortified look on my
friends face was a delight to see.
The ''porky" was wide awake by
this time, for 1 could hear his teeth
clacking as he advanced to the at
tack.

The porcupine certainly was game. I
saw the paddle rise in the air and
come down with a tremendous whack,
but it seemed to have little effect. If

Johnny couldn't make up his mind
whether to laugh or cry. 1t was
great to be able to go to school like
the rest and all that, but there was
sinking sensation all over him. He
sat swinging his legs from the biggest
chair in the house, and twisting bis
new cap nervously. Biff, the fox ter
rier, believing from all customary
signs that Johnny was ready TO go
cut, scampered about him, but he got
only a quavering little "Oh, shut up!'
"All ready!' said his mother, and he
caught hold of her hand, and made up
his mind he wouldn't cry if he bit his
tongue off. Along three blocks they
went. Somehow the familiar land
marks looked different to him than
ever before, as he was led till they
reached the front of the big dingy-
looking schoolhouse
There was little catching in the
mothers throat at the thought of Il
first parting from the baby of the
household. Another minute and they
were in the broad, bleak schoolroom,
where many other mothers and many
other Johnnies and their sisters were
already assembled. Our young friend
was duly introduced to the sweet

whispered to him to be brave. Johnny
never said a word. His face was white

fiinching doubts. 1t was all very fine
TO be a man, but he'd heap rather be
a baby again. He heard two sharp
yaps in the street, looked out, and
saw the faithful Biff staring in aston

laid his head on the desk and sobbed
as if his little heart would break. In
two minutes the desoate boys and
girls in the room were moaning in
sympathy, and Biff outside, catching
the sounds of grief, lifted his head to
the skies and howled in company.
The young teacher stood facing this
panic of grief, distressed and uncer-

NATURES JOKES.
Some Freak Forms of F1owers-AppIe
Blossoms on Rose Bush.

Some Freak Forms of F1owers-App1e
blossoms on Rose Bush.
Gardeners all over the world are
toiling to produce new flowers. Ma
ture, in a freakish 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 a 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 springing in it's
center.
Every year as horticulturists go
further afield, 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 a shrunken, rounded ball
of dry, dead leaves until 1t is put into
water. Then 1t expands into a great
loose mass of filmy green, the petals
fly apart, and blooms expose their
fluffy centers.
A flower discovered on the isthmus
of Tehuantepec in the early morning
blooms a pure white; by midday it
has changed to a perfect red, but be-
fore it closes at nightfall it has turn
ed to a pale blue. Even more Won
derful than its change of color is the
fact that at noon only does it 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 fa-
nous because its masses of small pink
and reddish blooms are used as a sub
stitute for holly.
But the strangest flower is the New
South Wales flannel flower. 1t is so
called because it has the exact ap-
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 natural green va
riety. Schomberg was It's discoverer
In South Africa. the home of all the
ixias.
In one sense, all our gardens are
filled with freak flowers. The gigan-
tic and vari-colored blooms which
adorn the beds and borders are, al
most without exception, monstrosities
produced by long selection and intense
cultivation.
But nature can and does do funny
things at times in her own garden.
Albino flowers are by no means I'M
common. Whole patches of the ordi-
narily yellow moth-mullein are at
times found of a white hue. The To-
bella, too, at times sports pure white,
and so do many others fiowers.-Pear-
