weeks time take out enough of the gold to make him wealthy. The country where the ledge is located is wild and pYcipi snow was falling heavily and they re- mained only long enough to satisfy them selves of the location of the ledge.
 As evidence of their find they have the little bottle of gold dust, which has all ready been viewed by dozens of people, and tests have been made by O. D. John son which prove that the mineral is gen uine.
 But the find is not so marvellous as the manner in which 1t was made-and the tale runs like fairy story.
 D. F. Inges, the grandfather of Mr. Bartlett, was a pioneer prospector. He was one of the hardy forty-niners of Cali fornia and in company with eight others drifted into this section In 1856.
 Alone he made a find in the mountains adjacent to Wenatchee which he consid- cred the greatest discovery of his life In making a trip into the mountains he was murdered by a companion named Jack Knot, and the body lies buried two and one-half miles up the east side of the Columbia river from Wenatchee. TO the members of his family he had confided the great secret. and this secret has been kept as an heirloom ever since.
 The members of the Bartlett family are Spiritualists, and last summer the dead grandfather. through Portland medium, revealed the whereabouts of the gold to the grandson Minute directions as to it's location was given, and final disposition of the profits of the find were made M. c. Black was selected by the spirit of the grandfather to accompany his grand son in the search. MT. Black consented to go, and the journey proved to be a perilous one, but so minute had been the directions given that the rich find was made with but little search.>

When Are We Strongest?
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
 The lifting power of youth to seven- teen years Is 2s0 pounds; in his twen- tieth year this increases to 320 pounds; in the thirtieth and thirty-frst year it reaches It's height, 365 pounds At the end of the thirty-first year the strength begins to decline very slowly at first By the fortieth year it has decreased eight pounds, and this diminution con tinues at a slightly increasing rate until the fftieth year Is reached, when the fig ure Is 330 pounds. After this period the strength fails more and more rapidly until the weakness of old age is reached. It is not possible to give statistics of the decline of strength after the fiftieth year. as it varies to a large extent in different individuals.

Mr.. Newman certainly had q very
tough time with the grip, and it is no

ordinary efforts to eradicate it.

Value of Good Humor,

A thing always to be cultivated is
good humor. No prop to trouble has
yet been discovered the equal in
strength of good nature. 1t is just as
much an obligation of men to fight
against depression as it is to fight
against oppression, and yet men yield
readily to depression and say they will
die before they will submit to oppres-
sion. They begin at the wrong place
with their heroics. Good humor is
the safety valve. 1t provides a way for
unnecessary and harmful steam,
which, if confined, may result in a
ruinous explosion. Good humor dwells
in the house of comfort; it waters the
plants, feeds the canary, draws the
curtains to admit the sunlight and at
evening time it lights the lamp

HIS DEAL WITH ASTOR.
Troubles Of Aaron Burr Traced In Old
Records.

Under Aaron Burr and his brilliant
daughter, Theodosia. Richmond Hill
became the most famous place Of hos
pitality in New York, says Burton j..
Hendrick. Talleyrand. Jerome Bona
parte and Louis Philippe were enter
tanned there. John Jacob Aston, how
ever, was not charmed by its literary
and political associations, or its nat
ural beauty. But he did see that the
city was inching up to Richmond Hill,
and that It would soon be needed for
building lots. Richmond Hill, too,
was heavily mortgaged-the mort
gage payable in July, 1904. About
this time Burr became involved in his
quarrel with Hamilton. His letters
to Theodosia show that the sale OF
Richmond Hill was the only possible
way of forestalling ruin. So, as his
mortgage became due, and just one
month before the Hamilton duel, AS
tor bought the place for 100000. I'm
questionably this money facilitated
Burr's flight; perhaps 1t was used, who
knows, in his wild Southwestern
scheme? Burr returned to New York
after his miserable wanderings In Eu-
rope, but never succeeded In rehabil-
itating himself. His old law clients
Stunned him; his former friends ig-
nored him; the only faithful ones
were his creditors. Among these was
Aston, who acquired, piece by piece,
all that was left of Richmond Hill.
Between the lines of the moldy real
estate records of New York we can
trace the wretchedness Of Aaron Burr.

DARING LOST HIM A JOB.
Did unnerving Acrobatic Stunts on
Top Of Towering Structures.

strong-headed "steeplejack" is
completing the job which Elmer
Wakefield began Thursday.
The "steeplejack' who is at work
now is no better as "steeplejack"
than is Wakefield, but he has more re-
gard for the sensibilities of the peo-
pie who crane their necks to watch
him.
Wakefield is the man who did gym
nastic stunts" at the top of the ZOO
foot smokestack of the Western
Union building, which he was sent UP
to put fresh coat of paint on.
He swung about gayly at his dizzy
height, "looped the loop" in his chair
like rigging, caught at supporting
rods, threatened to turn somersau(s,
warned the shuddering crowd below
to get ready to pick up the pieces
when he fell' and detied two excited
policemen to come up and arrest
him"
After he got tired of his acrobatic
performance he lowered himself to
the ground. Then his friends took
him home.
The firm which has the contract for
painting the smokestack decided that
Wakefield was entirely too hazardous
a risk. They admitted that his per.
Torrance was thrilling, but offset that
point in his favor by saying they
were not giving a three-ring circus
but were painting smokestacks, and
when they went into the Barnum bus
mess and hired big tent Wakefield
would be the first man they would
look for. But meantime, they said
they wanted somebody more conserv
alive.
And they got him. The young man
who went to work on Wakefield's un.
completed job Friday morning at
