TO DRAIN LAKE FOR LOST COIN
Company of Texas Business Men Will
Try to Find Spanish Silver.

Company of Texas Business Men Will
Try to Find Spanish Silver.
The search for lost treasure amount
ing to more than 100000 Of Mexican
silver which is said to be lying at the
bottom Of Collins Lake, in Leon Coun-
ty, Texas, will soon be begun, says
the San Francisco Call. A joint stock
company, composed Of number Of
business men of Oakwoods, Tex, and
other citizens Of that section, has been
organized for the purpose Of conduct
ing the search for this buried or hid
den silver in a systematic manner.
The company will drain the water
from this lake by means of powerful
steam pumps. The lake is situated
about Is miles south Of Oakwoods. It
covers % acres of land and the water
is to IL feet deep.
According to the legend Of this treas
ure, a caravan of Spaniards were on
their way north in the early days and
the silver filed the bed Of a large
wagon, which was being drawn by
six mules. When near this lake an
attack was made on the travellers by
a band of hostile Indians. In order
to save the silver the wagon was driv-
en- into the lake and it's precious con-
tents dumped out. Only one member
Of the party escaped from the saw
ages, and it took him many years to
make his way back TO the City of
Mexico, where he told his story, but
it was not believed and he could get
no assistance in recovering the treas
ure.
The survivor is said to have left a
description and crude drawing of the
spot where the silver was hidden, and
this he handed down to his son. Still
no effort was made to recover the
treasure and it was not until the
great-grandsOn of the survivor came
into possession of the document that
any movement was made to secure
the fortune. This great-grandson was
without means himself, but he manag-
ed to make his way to Texas and by
means of the records and documents
in his possession he easily located the
lake where the silver is supposed to
be deposited.
The history Of the lost silver is be-
lieved by many people of the Collins
Lake section and those who have gone
into the enterprise of draining the lake
are confident that they will find tho
big fortune lying at it's bottom. Pow
erful pumping machinery is being in.
stalled and the lake will be drained as
fast as possible. 1t will take prob,
ably two months to pump it clear of
water.

that it is purely private arrangement

A DAY OF REST.
O1d-Fashioned, Quiet Routine for Sum
day Now Laid Aside.

Old-Fashioned, Quiet Routine for Sum
day Now Laid Aside.
Sunday, from being day Of rest
for man and beast, has become the
busiest day of the week. So many
society people live in the suburbs that
the English weekend parties have be-
come an established custom in this
country, and the guests must be
amused Dinners, at homes, and must
Gales, not only in town, but out Of
town, have become the regulation
mode of entertainment for that day.
Sunday, too, is the day now selected
for repairing streets and altering car
tracks in the business sections, which
it is impossible to do during the rush
and crowding Of the week.
The old-fashioned Sunday has dis
appeared-that slow, easy-going day
of rest and family reunion, when
church and good, solid dinner were
the only distractions, and Sunday pa
pers were of small import. Simple
pleasures, and yet how restful!
The city's growth and the opening
Of new and convenient routes by the
trolleys are in a great measure respon-
sible for the change, and the truthful
excuse is given that Sunday is the
only day that one is free to visit. But
have the majority this excuse, or is
the feverish rush after excitement and
novelty?
What would the Pilgrim fathers have
to say if they saw the very vanities
they had turned from in the old world
becoming daily more established in
the new? Think of the austerity Of
the Puritan Sunday-the long journey
to church, the long, tedious service
and it cannot be wondered at that a re-
action should ensue. Then came the
Sundays Of the last century-the Sun
days when breakfast was deferred to
an hour later than on week days. Oh
the luxury Of that extra hours sleep!
The regulation Sunday breakfast Of
hot bread or griddle cakes, and the
haste to be ready in time for church,
for to church or meeting one must go,
unless able to give some plausible ex-
cuse. The children all went to church.
too, in those days, and if the sermon
seemed endless and far beyond the
comprehension Of such youthful lis
teners there was always the compen-
sation Of dropping the bright penny
on the collection plate, or watching
poor old Mr.. Plank nodding gently
and waking with start at regular
intervals. SacrilegiOuS amusements
without doubt but compensating in a
measure for the penance of sitting
still, which is SO irksome to the young
How much the children enjoyed being
allowed to keep on their best clothes in
honor Of the day! Light literature was
tabooed, only to make 1t more enjoy
able during the week and there was
the solace Of knowing that If story
books were forbidden, lessons, too,
were laid aside. Childish and simple
this sounds now, yet how restful that
Sunday routine in modern ears! =

MR.. HAYDEN'S VIEWS.
GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE BEST
TREATMENT FOR PARALYSIS.
Declares That DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Restored the Use of His Limbs When
All Other Remedies Failed.


The premonitory symptoms of paraly-
sis.are: trembling of the hands; sudden
loss of power i'll arms or legs, frequently
affecting one whole side of the body; stag
gering; partial or entire inability to use
the fingers distortion of the features,
sometimes an uncomfortable quivering
of the chin; severe pains; difficulty in
speech. Frequently the first warning is
vague feeling of headache, vertigo and
muscular weakness.
In a recent interview Mr.. W. L.
Hayden said: IT truly think that DR..
Williams Pink Pills are great medi-
cine for they cured me when physicians
and other remedies had failed to give
me the slightest relief. Too close at
tention to business brought on an attack
Of nervousness which finally developed
into paralysis. There were times when
it was impossible for me to move my
hands or to get up from chair. At
other times I had partial control of my
limbs, but was afraid to go far from
the house for fear I might suddenly be-
come helpless and have to be carried
home.
"While was in this miserable con-
dition, I was stricken with malarial fever
and confined to bed for four months.
had the best physicians, but while they
relieved my fever, their treatment did
not entirely drive the malaria from my
system, and they did not help my par
alysis in the least,
81 was well nigh despairing when
friend persuaded me to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills When I had finished one box
could see results that encouraged me
My condition kept steadily improving,
and when had taken seven boxes was
cured Of paralysis and the malaria was
completely driven out of my system.
For two years now have enjoyed the
best of health and have attended to bus
mess without any interruption.
Mr. Hayden home is at No. 252 West
seth street, New York. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills have cured many similar cases
of paralysis, also locomotor ataxia. They
are sold by all druggists. A treatment
80 simple, inexpensive and successful
should be tried by every sufferer from
partial paralysis in any of it's stages.
