FINDS OF GOLD.
Sudden strokes of Fortune That
Come to Prospect0rs.

Come to Prospectors.
Every state or territory In which gold
aud silver have been found In any
quantity has Its stories Of discoveries
which. while they seem like romances
when told. are examples OF the adage
that truth is stranger than fiction.
Montana furnishes several Of the more
interesting.
Every prospector in the Rocky noun
tains has probably heard the tale Of
how Tom Cruise discovered the great
Drum I.omond mine. For years the
old miner had been sluicing out the
gold IN the bed OF creek II rev miles
from Helena. Some days he secured
less than dollars worth and other
days five times as much. The uncer-
tainty was discouraglng. but he had
experience enough TO know that the
ledge from which the gold had been
washed must be somewhere In the vi
entity. so he explored the valley. but
without result Then he climbed the
sides for hundreds Of feet. At last lie
saw projection which was apparent
ly rock covered with earth and leaves.
A few digs with the shovel laid bare
the outcropping Of the ore vein which
was to become one of the most famous
in the world.
Montana also contains the Granite
Mountain mine. which was supposed to
consist Of surface ore. The shrewd
superintendent noted indications which
led him TO believe another ore body lay
beneath. The mine owners. however,
disagreed with him. and he began In
vestigation for himself when the veins
appeared to be exhausted. On the
very day he received telegram to
abandon the claim he made the discov-
cry OF the lode beneath. The telegram
he sent to his employers caused them
to give him carte blanche In the way

A Warning To Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
Of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. As a rule il is only
necessary to give the child dose Of
castor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the old-fashioned castor oil, and
see that il is fresh. as rancid oil nauseates
and has a tendency to gripe. II this
does not check the bowels give Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and then dose Of castor oil,
and the disease may be checked in its
incipiency and all danger avoided. The
castor oil and this remedy should be
procured at once and kept ready for
instant use as soon as the first indica-
ton of any bowel trouble appears.
This is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence even in cases Of cholera
infantum. For sale by p. ID. Getting

The tomato yield in Caroline county
will be about half crop. The vines
are thrifty and healthy but there are
few tomatoes on them. In some fields
there appear only three or four tomatoes
on large, thrifty vine. The cause for
this was the dry weather in the early
spring and the heavy rains during the
past month.

AN ACCUSED BRIDGE.
No wedding Party In England WIFI
Pass Over the Structure.


Standing in the center of an open
field at Hoxne, near Eye, in Suffolk, Is
an obelisk erected to the memory OF
King Edmund, who met his death there
at the hands of the Danes in $40. On
the site Of the monument stood an oak
tree. in the branches Of which the king
sought refuge from his foes. At night
fall he emerged from his leafy hiding
place and secreted himself under a
bridge which spanned n stream called
the Goldbrook.
A wedding party, however, passing
over the bridge in the evening, observed
the kings gold spur glittering in the
moonlight, and in this way his retreat
became known to his enemies. He was
taken back to the tree In which he had
previously hidden himself and shot
with arrows, and his body was after
ward removed to Bury st. Edmunds
and inferred in the monastery there.
On Goldbrook bridge is inscribed a
record of the event. Local tradition
has it that many years ago the existing
Inscription was followed by the words,
Cursed be the wedding party that
passes this bridge" No part Of this
anathema IS now visible, but the tradi-
ton is so we'll known that bridal
party will take circuitOus route rath-
err than pass over the bridge.-London

'There are two trade secrets" said

"Among the Chinese and among the
Syrlans these two secrets are guarded

strong oath to reveal nothing Of what
