GOT EVEN WITH THE KAISER.
Dusky Sovereign Of African Empire
Refused Audience Leaves Two Sons
Who Swiudle Emperor Badly.

Several months ago the kaiser of Ger
many refused to give audience to King
Manga Bell, one OF the dusky sovereigns
of his African empire. The black man
vowed vengeance, and when he sailed
away left his two young hopefuls, who
appear to be boys of much intelligence
and considerable talents for swindling.
While unwilling to receive his black vas
sal, the kaiser had guaranteed the bill
of Manga Bell and the party at the hotel
where they stopped. and the princes pro-
ceeded to make things hum as soon as
their papa had departed. Within a
month they ran up bill of over 10. 900
marks, which the kaiser will have to foot.
At the same time the princes swindled a
number of merchants out OF large sums of
money, finally resorting, it is charged, to
forgery to obtain cash for the orgies they
arranged at the fashionable resorts. As
the princes have not a red cent to bless
themselves with. the kaiser will make an
effort to straighten out their Delinquent
cies and ship them home on the first
steamer headed for Walfish bay.

TRIP UNSUCCESSFUL.
Treasure Hunter Fails to Find the
Riches He Was Looking For.
New York Man Travels 10000 Miles,
But Says His Journey Was Not
Entirely i'm Vafn-StOry OF
Buried Treasure.

Former Alderman George w. Sutton,
of New Rochelle, N. Y, is regaling his
friends with yarns about the good time
he had on his 30 .O0O-mile treasure hunt
ing trip, and every one who hears the
yarns declares that the narrator, al
though he failed to find the $50 900 900 he
was looking for, has the material In in
cidents and snapshots for book that
will pay him back the $4,000 he put
into the enterprise and give him hand-
some profit into the bargain.
Sutton says he is convinced that the
tale of the buried treasure told them by
Capt. James Brown, an aged sea rover
of Auburn, Mass, who organized the
expedition, was myth. Brown told SUIT
ton that in 1920, when there was a revo-
luton in Peru, all of the national treas
,sre and the gold and silver plate of the
churches we're loaded aboard the Amer
lean schooner Black Witch and taken to
Cocos island, in the South Seas, where
they were buried. He said that in 1857
he and Capt. Smith, of Salem, Mass,
who was the son of the master of the
Black Witch, went to Cocos Island in a
sailing vessel and found the treasure and
removed it to another island, where they
planted it again.
Then they went on piratical ship and
captured some vessels bound home with
gold from Australia. On the way back to
Australia the crew got to fighting and
all were killed or drowned except Brown
and Smith Capt Smith tried to kill
Brown, who shot him in self-defense and
threw the body overheard This left
Capt. Brown the only survivor Of the
expedition. He went to London, where
he married and then came to America.
The schooner Herman, upon which the
party made the voyage, was sold at the
island of Tahiti, and the treasure hunt
ers, consisting of Mr.. Sutton, his party
Capt. Brown and his crew OF seven
men, returned to San Francisco by
steamer. Mr.. Sutton says that when he
left San Francisco Capt Brown, who
is Is years old, was in jail charged with
having assaulted the japanese cook.
Mr. Sutton said he had a launch and
visited many Of the South Sea islands
taking snapshots of the natives and buy
ing trinkets Of them. II have several
trunks filled with souvenirs of all kinds, ~
Mr.. Sutton said, and enough pictures
and material to publish book"

Consumption

The only kind of consump-
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle Of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.
