which was about $4,000. They were
consigned to the post paymaster to pay
off the soldiers. 1t was the largest
amount that had ever been sent to a
post so far out on the frontier in a
time of practical hostilities. and Col.
Taylor was instructed most mlnutely
as to the care and guarding of the
treasure.
Just at that time Black Hawk was
very active and aggressive and there
was serious possibility that the little
garrison might be forced to eyacuate
Fort Mckay and fall back. Accordingly
Col. Taylor decided the money must
be hidden outside the stockade. He
called for volunteers for special service
and selected four men, headed by a
sergeant named Mercierre. These he
gave a sack OF gold each and sent them
at night to bury It and bring back a
careful report, SO that others might be
able later to find It.
That very night there was a deter
mined attack BY Indians on the little
post. The sentries were driven in and

The United States is represented by

Panama Is to allow no person, per-
sons or corporations to run mono
poly. The principal concessions now In
force are as follows:
Lottery concession, expiring in 1920
Market concession, expiring in 1907.
Gambling concession, expiring in
1905.
Tobacco concession. expiring in 1906.
Cigarettes concession, expiring in

Panama has two hospitals, Santo
Tomas, which is owned by the city,
and the Ancon hospital. There is no
better equipped hospital in the world
for it's size than the one on Ancon hill.
1t was built by the French Canal COM
pany, and is said to have cost $1,000, 900.
The capacity Of the Ancon hospital is
about five hundred beds, but in case
of an emergency sufficient ward space
is available for seven hundred beds.
Public patients receive the best of
care in the hospital. Special precau-
tions are taken to prevent the spread
of disease by insects. 1t is the spe-
cial duty of the board of health to pre-
vent the spread of contagious and in
fectious diseases and to stamp out, IL
possible, the malarial types of fever.
Unusual efforts are being made to de-
stroy the mosquitoes, which spread
yellow fever, malarial fevers and other
diseases. Water containers are being
covered, ponds and pools Of standing
water are being drained, or covered
with oil to prevent the breeding Of
mosquitoes, and special care win be
taken in the future to dispose properly
of all filth accommodations and waste.
There has also been organized an ef-
fective quarantine service. one on the
island Of Flamenco. near Panama, an
other ON the hospital grounds at
Colon.

Uncle San7's Buried Treasure in Iowa

II IGHTY thousand dollars in gold
coin was buried back in 1880
somewhere in the Mississippi
bluffs, very close to where the town of
waukon. Iowa. now stands. The man
who buried 1t was afterward prsident
Of the United States. The man who
will some day find and dig It up-and
1t is pretty certain some day to be
found, for searchers are constantly
seeking twill have trouble with
Uncle Sam, who will attempt to estab-
lish his claim to It.
The legend of the big cache of Uncle
Sans gold dates back to the Black
Hawk war. Col. Zachary Taylor was in
command of old Fort Mckay, then one
OF the important government outposts
in this section. 1t was on the extreme
verge Of the buffer region" between
the Indians and the whites, In constant
danser OF attacks by Black Hawk and
his aeree warriors.
To this OUTPOST one day In 1880 came
four bags OF gold, each Weighing about
eighty pounds, the aggregate value Of

to date American steam laundry would

Its Mixed Population
Most of the people of Panama. in
fact some lightweight per cent, are
devout Catholics. Seven Catholic
churches, one Episcopalian and Wes-
leyan mission administer their rites.
The Salvation Army also does good
work among the natives.
The old cathedral is one of the old
est churches in America. Many holes
in its walls testify to the countless re-
volutions during the last fifty years,
Whenever a party has been hard
pressed it has taken refuge in the
church, and always found the altar a
haven of security.
The military band plays every Sun
day evening at s o'clock in Central
park Ia new name given by Ameri-
cans). Santa Ana park has concerts
every Tuesday evening at o'clock. On

The old town of Panama was found
ed by Peter Arias de Avia in 1913, and
destroyed by Henry Morgan, the fam.
Gus pirate, in 1911 He sacked the town
completely, took everything of value,
even took the Indians as slaves. The
old streets and foundations are today

of the tub. When the hair has been
unmatted the points are drawn to-
gether and the Strengthened combings
hung up to dry. This work on the hair
makes it dutiable.
The third class of hair comes from
China. This hair is evidently made up
of combings, for as a Chinaman rarely
ever cuts his cue and as there are roots
to the course black hair the conclusion
is that it must be "combings."
From this hair all the cheaper grades
of pompadours and braids are made.
1t is bleached and then dyed to the
desired shade. Sometimes it is mixed
with a finer quality, but not often,
for it constitutes a distinct class Of
goods.
1t is not pleasant to think of wear
ing a pompadour made from the comb
ings of a Chinaman's hair, but many
pieces worn by fastidious and very
particular young women come from
that source. Before any of this hair
can be made into wigs and toupees
it must be thoroughly cleaned. The
process is laborious and the progress
in the cleaning of a piece of hair from
its first stage of cutting to it's mount
ing on the form in a hair store and It's
purchase by perhaps some member Of
exclusive society is interesting.

La Boca, the Pacific end of the great
canal, has an immense iron wharf, 9S5

Panama is not so hot as persons who
are not familiar with the climate think.
The thermometer seldom registers
more than SS degrees at noon. The
custom of old residents to remain quiet
indoors from IL to 2 is well for strang-
ers and visitors to follow.
The market of Panama, which is sit
uated two blocks northeast of Santa
Ana park, is about the size of an or
ing extends out over the Bay of Pana-
ma on iron pillars. The concession for
the market is in the hands of private
capitalists of the city, and has a few
more years to run.
The market is credit to the city. 1t
is large, well kept and well systema-
tized. Many of the stalls are rented to
Chinese dealers Nearly all the vege-
tables used in Panama are raised and
sold by them. The meat and fish de-
partment is very interesting. Fish are
abundant and cheap. as are oysters.
Fresh meat sold in the city OF Pana-
ma must be inspected and slaughtered
at the city slaughter house, which is
owned and operated by the city. At
present there is no cold storage in the
city, therefore the meat is never one
day old. The small sailing boats
which land on the beach are loaded
with all sorts of products-cocoanuts
pineapples. yams, chickens, eggs. and
so on.
The boats come in during high tide;
when the tide goes out it leaves the
boats on the beach, where dealers and
citizens can reach them by walking
and driving among them. Rents in
Panama have increased OF late. but
many houses are being built and old
houses repaired.

Not every peasart is as careful about
the washing of her hair as she might
be. A peasant associates oil, sun and
dirt with strength and growth OF her
hair. Many a peasant woman with a
luxuriant growth Of hair will tell you
that she has washed it but two Or
three times during her life.
Every piece of hair that comes into

then "mealed out"
Methods Of Cleansing
This "mealing out" process is unique
A combination Of buckwheat flour and
white flour is put into a tub, then
workmen takes several hanks Of hair
and practically washes it in meal. This
removes all oil and makes the hair
very soft.
The cleaning, however, is not yet

times before the hair may be consid-

This same man sorts the hair into
punches of different lengths. He has
a card filled with steel teeth. A sim
liar card fits over it. The hair is
placed between the cards and the lower
one is slid back, permitting the long
est ends Of the hair to fall over the
edge. These longer strands are drawn
out, and in this manner the lair is

Whisky Drinking i'm Scotland.

1t is reported that the Highland
Scotchman is ceasing to drink whis-
ky. A visitor to Scotland says that
the typical Highlander, as he saw
him this season, takes an occasional
nip" as before, but that beer is
gradually ousting usquebaugh from
it's supremacy. He saw many High
landers take their 'meridian"-a
ceremony still religiously observed
and in the majority of cases beer
was the drink. Beer as drink for
Highlanders is a new thing. In the
old days clar9t was drunk all over
Scotland, 1t came-smuggled as a
rule-from France, and in the es-
tuaries of the west coast big trade
was done with claret laden gabberts
from the continent. After claret,
