HAD OVERLOOKED A FORTUNE.
Gold Close at Hand Not Suspected by
Treasure Seekers.

The man with whom the writer
bunked-a sober. Industrious young
fellow-engaged in working a lease
with several partners. They sank a
shaft $50 feet in depth and "drifted"
from the bottom in their search for
gold, until not penny was left IN
their treasury.
They had discovered absolutely
rothing. The lease was abandoned
and all were obliged to go to work for
wages. Day after day they had flung
their coats across a monster dorsal
fin of dark. volcanic rock, outjuttips
from the hill near by. and given it
never thought.
The ledge of rock was fabulously
rich. The leasers who followed them
went at the ledge of hopeless looking
porphyry on top of the ground and
found 1t fairly shot full of gold. They
channeled 1t out, as men might chan
mel for ditch, and removed over fifty
sacks of ore worth $500 a sack.-Har

Wipe Your Eyeglasses.

A well known oculist said recently:
Cant girls be persuaded to take bet
ter care of their glasses? l have
many college girls coming to me. They
are as fresh as a rose and neat as a
pin, but seven times out of ten their
glasses are in a disgraceful condition.
Vanity alone should make them more
careful" he continued. Glasses at
best are not becoming and when
clouded and neglected make a bad
matter worse. of course it is very
bad for the eyes to wear glasses in
such state. Tell them to wash their
glasses each night of their lives in
warm soap and water aud dry on an
old soft bit of linen This is good
advice and the pity is that it should
be necessary Harper's Bazaar.

seeIuslon of the Gardens.

Probably our Aryan forefather of
the Euphrates regions 1000 years
ago, when he had house and a dog
(but before the cat was domesticat-
ed), had garden. says Country Life
in America. Comparative philology
assures us of such things. with the
certainty Of astronomy, although the
Aryan has left no scrap of writing.
Possibly his idea of garden was
merely fence to keep the cattle out
of the vegetables. but the point is
that when we let everybody see all
Cur garden. whether they want to or
not, we are running counter to an in
stinct that is older than the Sanscrit
language-for the idea of protection,
privacy and inclosure goes back. in
some crude form, at least. to a time
before some of our forefathers went
tc India to live and others to Greece
and Italy.

Why the state of Maine"

A really curious question has been
raised by the Boston Herald. Why, II
asks, does a Maine man always speak
of his part of the country as the
State of Maine" instead of calling 1t
simply Maine" as a New Yorker
would say New York." or a Nebrss
kan Nebraska? AS an adequate an
swer to the inquiry it says: Maine
was not one of the original states. but
up to 1920 was part of Massa-
chusetts. 1t was then known as the
district of Maine. In 1920 Maine
achieved her Independence. and be-
came a separate state of the Union
In their consequent citation the peo
pie of the new state began to speah
of the state of Maine, as distinguished
from the old district of Maine. and the
expression passed into current speech.

Since she went-home-
The saddened world has never seemed
so bright
There is less splendor in the mornings
light,
beams shine.
All Natures joys come now to slower
birth.
And thou hast lost. o tender. mourning
earth.
The glory that was thine!
Since she went--home-
The dragging days seem now so drear
and long;
A hint of sadness chills the gayest song
A plaintive tone in every sound l
hear.
Even the sunlight's rays of purest gold
Like all the world. seems something
dull and cold.
Missing her presence dear.
Since she went-home-
So large a world to lose so very much
In one small woman's face and voice
and touch
The simple magic of her tender smilei
So full world to have so empty grown.
For one small woman's quiet soul and
tone,
And yet-'twili empty be for sucn
while
Since she went-home!

WHO OWNS THE RAILROADS?

II. T. Newcomb of the District of
Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics
showing that STATS depositors in
savings banks of six eastern states
are directly interested in the joint
ownership of SAP ,354,OS6 of steam
railroad securities, that insurance
companies doing business in Massa-
chusetts hold sS45, $3.50 ,03S of steam
railroad stocks and bonds and IA edu-
cational institutions depend on $47,-
46S,327 invested in similar securities
for portion of their income. Other
fiduciary institutions own enough
railroad securities to bring such hold
ing up to more than a billion and a
half dollars, about one-sixth of the
entire capital invested in railroad
property. These investments repre-
sent the savings of the masses, there
being twenty million holders of life in
surance policies in the country. as
many more of fire insurance policies,
and an even greater number of de-
positors in banking and trust institu-
tions. where investments are largely
in railroad securities.

HELPED OUT nIeA fINANclea.
Simple and Effective Cipher Evolved
by Clerk.


When Wall street first caught the
fever for Industrial combinations"
and began the reorganization of every
thing in sight, one OF the yotaries Of
high finance found himself in Chicago
In extreme need of communicating
with his New York office.
He had almost completed an ar
rangement for the consolidation of
several western enterprises. but in
order to get the final authority he
needed from New York, he must ex-
plain all he had done by wire to his
partners.
There was no time to write. He
had no cipher code. For a long time
he tried to think out some way to
send the information so that 1t would
be plain to his partners and meaning
less to any one else. His secret was
a valuable one, and once sent over
the wire might be sold out to his
rivals in Wall street for large sum
At last he decided to take the
chances in plain English. According.
IL he wrote the message and gave 1t to
his assistant to send.
Half an hour later, when the assist
ant came back. he asked him If he
had sent it.
Not just that way" said the clerk.
81 rewrote it, the first wore on Pos
tai blank. the second on a Western
Union, and so on. sent half by each
company, and neither half meant any
thing. Then I sent second message
by one line, saying. Read both meg
sages together, alternating words"
The scheme was too simple for the
high financier to have evolved, but it
worked perfectly.-Brooklyn Eagle.

the islands a day and half, and so
close to land that they could distin-

Like most others, she finds life in
Manila very fascinating. but admits
that her first introduction to a native
bed was not calculated to make them
lifelong friends. 1t has a cane-seat bot

straw mat, or one made of palm leaves,
upon which is laid the usual sheets,

pie would like to have the entire army
evacuate the islands. but that, in her
opinion, the army will be needed for
some time, and cites in that connection
the fact that the priests take the school
boys from the Luneta before THE Star

done at the close of every concert, and
that the Spanish native element also

"Jibber the kibber," is in sailor par
lance. to decoy vessel ashore by ex-
hibiting ships sidelight on the
beach. The light is carried along close
to the waters edge. the man holding
it giving it sinking and rising mo-
ton as he walks along, in imitation
of a vessel at anchor in swell. When
a lame horse can be obtained the
light is hung on him. and he is walked
I'M and down the beach. for the imita-
ton is then more deceptive. A navi-
gator is thus made to believe there is
nlenty of sea room, and is decoyed
to strand his vessel for the benefit OF
the beachcombers on the alert.

Cobb took his bride to the farmhouse,

the farm had run a little more be-
