Money, Recently.
Erdman Trettin died at the home of
his uncle, Carl Kirkhoff on South

teen years. The young man was sick
only five days. The death is made
particularly a sad one from the fact
that the young man had come back

purpose of earning a little money
Recently the family moved from this
section, where they were pioneer set

HUNT FOR INDIANS GOLD
Red Man Accumulated Quite a Com
Portable Pile-Died Without Tell
ing Where He Hid It.

A family of Nez Perez Indians is
searching an 80-acre farm near Guide
sac, Idaho, in an effort to locate $12, 900
of buried gold left by Reuben Wepsheli,
the father of the family and a full
blooded Nez Perez. On this farm WEEP
shell lived with his squaw for 60 years.
He titled a small farm and raised many
cayuses which ran at large on the neigh
boring range. From the proceeds Of
horse sales and rent received from land
leased to whites he accumulated more
than $40, 900, which he kept buried in a
secret spot. OF four children, Amos, the
eldest son was the old mans confidant.
and often went with his father in the
dead of night to bury more gold or Sc
cure money for some immediate use.
During his later years the old Indian
removed the greater part of the money
to a new place known only to himself.
His family always knew the amount
thus buried, and he often promised that
before dying he would tell the secret to
Amos. Three months ago Wapsheli
was taken sick. Before Amos could ar
rive from his ranch 20 miles away the
old man died without divulging the
burial place of his gold. Amos, now 80
years old. is. experimenting the search
for the buried money.

SLEICHS AIDED ROMANCE.
Glittering Runners on Heavy Snow
Materially Helped Cupid's Bust
ness This Past Winter.

Cupid and the county clerk have had
a big time this winter in the near Chi
cago territory. Really, the weather
man was responsible for it all. He sent
the longest spell of ~sleighing that has
ever been seen in the region, and the
people say that sleighing and counting
go hand in hand together, declares a
Chicago publication. A man over at
Kalamazoo claims that he has used his
sleigh every day for more than 100 days.
Hundreds of young men have tucked a
pretty Wolverine or Hoosier girl under
a plentiful supply of robes and driven
distances as long as rs miles. The
young woman would be allowed to get
warm at the stove In the hotel parlor,
but the mar would not wait until he had
| secured a license and had engaged a min
lister to speak the words that would en-
able him to take a wife back home.
Sleighing parties in five states have
had the finest winter they have had Tor
years, and weddings and betrothals have
been correspondingly numerous. There
vas scarcely a day on which a wedding
party did not arrive in a cutter in many

Another New Metal.

A new metal which is similar to alumni
mum, but still of lesser weight, has been
discovered by the French engineer, AL
bert Nodon, and called medium" after
him. 1t is manufactured by an electric
process. In color, luster and structure ii
Is almost exactly like steel. Its specific
weight when molten is only "a. Its
resistance against breaking is given as
about 20 pounds per square of 0.04 inch.
Its constancy in the air is higher than
that of aluminium. Its ductility is be-
tween six and eight inches; the mallea-
bility a be compared to that of bronze.
1t melts at about 600 degrees. 1t is suit
able for being cast into forms. The con-
d%uctibility for the electric current is as
high as that of copper of equal weight.
II natural poYer, especially water power,
can be used fof its manufacture, the cost
IN round figures is about Is cents per
pound. The inventor expects numerous
uses of nodium in the near future, espe-
cially for electric wires and cables, for
light hut strong parts of motor cars, tor
pedo boats, men Of war, street cars, mill
tary outfits, airships, etc, and for cast
ings in place of bronze, German silver
and similar metals. Nothing definite has
yet been communicated as to the chem
fcal composition of nodium MOI as to the
mode of its manufacture.

NOTES ON NEEDLEWoRK.
Homemade Articles of Feminine
Finery for the Season Now
at Hand.

A pretty homemade article that is in
style is a flannel petticoat of fine white
flannel with a hair line of blue running
Though it. The seams are feather
stitched in the blue, and so are the
sqdare-cornered tabs at the bottom,
which fall loose over a full rufIie of flmy
lace.
The heart-shaped corsage sachet of
white satin is to wear around the neck
beneath the lingerie. The ribbon edge
n bow make a pretty finish and it is
suspended by a ribbon. Another corsage
sachet On this order consists of two
pads about two inches square, with a
small bow in the center of each. They
are fastened to the ends of a strip of
baby ribbon. For the Japanese sachet,
made of Japanese silk. a bag two and
one-half by three inches, and in the top
seam fasten a japanese dolls head.
Around its neck a ribbon is tied, stock
fashion. The most popular sachet odors
at present are sandalwood, orris and the
Japanese perfumes.
The rage for handmade articles of
attire takes some beautiful ferns, and
the ones here described are such as may
be easily initiated by any oma who
knows how to use her needle. A very
fashionable white crepe waist has its
front, stock and cuffs embroidered with
clusters of small, pink roses and forget
me-nots in ribbon embroidery. The
punches OF flowers have their leaves and
stems done in pale, dull shades of green
and golden brown. The punches of flow
ers are connected by and i~nterspersed
with little boWknots and loops and ends
Of ribbon. This ribbon effects produced
by outlining the supposed ribbon with
a single gold thread and working small
black dots, in embroidery silk, about
an eighth of an inch apart between the
gold lines. The effect is that of a dainty
and novel ribbon. 1t is no wider, and
probably not as wide. as baby ribbon.
In the most fashionable line of hand
work come new frocks for early spring,
made of a material exactly like crinoline
or scrim-the kind used in making
cross-stitch. One lovely frock has three
broad or croSS-stltch down the
front. reaching from the hem up, The
center one comes nearly all the way
up, and the side bands, set rather close
to the center one. are much shorter.
They are worked in a simple design Of
cross-stitch in Russian blue and red.
Of all the cross-stitching worn by smart
women the preference is for Russian
cross-stitch in these two colors, in only
one shade of each. Collars and cuffs
and dress sets are worked in the same
color and pattern. The bodice to this
skirt is a partly fitted blouse, in shirt
waist effect, with three bands of cross
stitching down the front and one around
the collar and around each wrist band.
Simple as the frock is, the handwork
gives it an air of distinction.

TYPES NO LONGER NEEDED.
Printing Is Now Done Without
Agency of the Metal Letters
The New Process.

There are three companies in New
York and Brooklyn that are about to
put on the market devices for printing
without types, says the New York Press
One is capitalized at $4,000, 900. The
process is as simple as a, b, C. To begin
with, a typewriter, with the standard
keyboard, is used to "set up" the copy,
not in letters, but in perforations in an
endless strip of paper. The completed
tape looks somewhat like the music used
in automatons that play the piano. The
strip of paper is passed through a ma
chine which prints. with justification,
sheet after sheet of matter of the re-
quired size-a book page or a newspa-
per. Impressions of this printed stuff
are then made upon aluminium or zinc
plates as thin as ordinary sheet iron,
which are placed with equal facility upon
both the bed-and-platen and the cylin-
der presses.
One of these typeless machines is
scalled the "planograph" and another the
'lithotype." l have forgotten the name
of the third. The principle of printing
from plates as smooth as glass is this
water and grease won't mix. The text
Is put on in ink, the basis of which is
grease. Enormous pressure is used, the
typewriter piece of paper being laid
fiat upon the zinc plate and placed I'M
der heavy rollers. In printing, the ink
rollers pass over the entire plate, but
leave ink only upon the linked impress
sion, for the rest of the plate-all the
spaces between the letters-is covered
with water from a water roller, which
abhors ink. AS many as 1854 900 impress
sions have been taken from one plate.

SEVEN BELLS NOT STRUCK.
Signal Sounded on All Other Vessels
Never Heard on British Ships
History Furnishes Reason.

The method of signaling the passing
of the hour at sea is we'll known to ev-
cry person who has taken an ocean voy-
age. Eight bells are struck every four
hours, an additional bell being struck
for each half-hour.
From six to eight in the evening is the
second dog watch, but on British ships
seven bells (7a8O) Of the second dog
watch are never struck. All the other
ships, even the American, strike these
bells.
During the Napoleonic wars there was
q great mutiny in the British navy.
The crews of the fleets lying at Spit
head and the More agreed to rise simul-
~taneously against their officers. The
signal agreed upon was seven bells OF
the second dog watch. The mutiny ac-
tually began at the arranged time, but
failed, the ringleaders being executed.
Ever since then seven bells of the Sec
ond dog watch has never been struck on
British ships, naval or mercantile.

REMEDIAL EFFECT OF BEADS
The Notion That They Prevent Dis
ease Is Not Altogether With
out Foundation.

There is a notion among mothers, the
world over, that a string of beads
around a child's neck is of remedial
value. Some think they assist the child
I'm teething. Others think they keep the
child from having sore mouth, drooling,
etc. Still others affirm that if the child
wear a string of beads of a certain kind
that it will not get the snufies, mol catch
cold, nor have Group, nor numerous 9th
ier petty ailments.
Now, is there any truth in these no
tons? Does a string of beads around 4
,child's neck really exert any remedial
benefit? Does it protect the child, as
these mothers think? These questions
deserve a candid and careful answer,
says Medical Talk for the Home.
Where so many people are imbued with
a notion that repeats itself century aft
ier century, there is sure o be somef oun-
,dation for 1t. Many superstitions find
their way into folklore, but If carefully
traced out they will generally be fohnd
to rest upon some real facts.
The notion that beads protect from dis
ease, or preserve the health, has a foun-
dation, although their value has no doubt
been largely exaggerated. A string OF
beads. gold or amber, or even glass.
about the neck, does act as a protection
from sudden changes of temperature.
the beaos, BY coming in contact with the
neck, are thoroughly warmed through.
The warmth of the beads is maintained
for some time after the surrounding tenn
perature changes. A child is apt to be
exposed to a temperature Of 80 +. in the
house, and under the influence of a draft
suddenly the temperature is changed to
40 F., or ever below. 1t Is these sudden
changes of temperature that expose the
child to sore mouth, sneezing and other
manifestations of mucous congestion.
But the beads, having the warmth of the
body, act as a sort of regulator Of the
Temperature of the neck. The presence
of from ten to 90 metal or glass beads
around the neck operates as a conserva-
tive element which prevents the sudden
chilling of the neck, in some degree at
least. They may also act as a sort OF
mild counter-irritation.
The material Of which the beads Is
made is probably of little consequence,
Except so far as the material assists in
maintaining an equable temperature.
Amber and gold are probably better than
glass, because these substances will hold
the heat longer. Some kinds of hard
wood are also used. The material used
makes little difference. 1t is not likely
that any subtle, medicinal effect is ema-
mated from the beads. The conservative
effect they nave upon the temperature no
doubt accounts mostly, If not wholly, fol-
their beneficial action.
We would, therefore, advise the beads.
Amber first, gold, if they can be afforded,
silver next in value, then glass or wooden
beads. We would advise them, especially
In cas- of babies subject to Group or
spasms, difficult teething, or those chill
dren that catch cold easily.
Surely the beads cannot do any harm,
and it is quite likely their continuous
soothing influence may save the child
from many attacks Of dangerous sick
ness.

A TREAT FOR THE cADDIE.
The Efforts Of Green Golfer to Hit the
Ball Were Worth Going
Far to See.

Golf is responsible for many caddie
stories. One Of the latest is about a
youngster and a well-known course III
Scotland. The caddie was waiting
around a railway station, hoping for an
engagement to carry clubs. Suddenly he
spied a new member carrying a huge
bunch under his arm, relates a London
paper.
Garry your clubs for a bob, sir" said
the caddie, walking up to the new men,
Der and placing a hand on the bag in
si~nuatingly. The recruit shifted the bag
out of the boys reach and looked dag
gers at him, but made no reply. The
boy followed to the links, continuing to
importune him, but 10 no purpose. The
new member went into the clubhouse.
%reappearing with ar opponent whose
clubs were carried by a boy.
Garry your clubs for a tanner, sir"
said the persistent caddie, but no notice
was taken of the offer. The new MEM
ber's opponent opened with a good drive,
and then the novice placed the ball care
fully, threw himself into position,
swung his club like q forehammer, ana
missed. The rejected caddie laughed
joyfully.
Once more the novice drove and
missed, and the caddie's laughter became
uproarious. At the third try the ball
was dislodged from its perch and spun
over the turf for about six feet.
eli, man." yelled the caddie, derisive-
ly, "Tll carry your clubs for the fun o.
the thing!"
