ANCIENT TREASURE
Discovered in Burial Mound in

Florida.

Many rare gold and silver trinkets

ticularly at Mound Key, but that a
burial mound should be discovered
in the wonderful Everglades, that

account of the distance from the

strange that such a spot as the nov

HEAD COMBING.
How and When II Occurred Among
the "DarkieS" During
Slave Times.

Many of us can remember the days
of slavery, says the Sun-Sentinel, one
of the newsiest country weeklies in
Kentucky. We can remember the
Uncle" and "Auntie" of the old
times and the negro children and it
is pleasant memory; for, with very
few exceptions, here in Kentucky
the slaves were treated kindly. The
negro children in those days were
the freest human beings imaginable;
they had a better time according to
the child idea than the white chill
dren. They were not required to
attend school and, until they were
old enough to work in the fields,
they had nothing to do but play.
The black mother, as we remember,
gave them very little attention: and
it was often the case that the father
would be slave on another planta-
ton and they would not see him of
tener than once a week. But there
was one season in the year when the
children would suffer great discom-
fort, it was about the first of May,
sheep shearing time). 1t was a job
to comb the kinky heads of the chill
dren and very little of it was done
until about the season named. Aunt
Cinda had five children, Tom, Char
lotte, Harriet, Charlie and Chane.
She belonged to the Ballard family.
After the weather began to get
warm she would say: "Look-e-here
children, Use guyne to com yo' heds
putty soon." After week or two
of continuous threats, and when she
was good and ready the trouble
would begin. The comb was of the
kind used for combing the names of
horses; thick and heavy. She had to
catch the children one at time.
She placed the unfortunate between
her knees and held him with a vice
like grip, and such terrible screams
as that little mig would utter we
have never heard since; but it was
no use, the combing went on.
Those that went through the or
deal would help to catch the others
where they were hid in the barn or
ice house or other out of the way
places. Frequently it would take
several days before the combing
would be entirely over. Each head
would be twice as large as it was be-
fore and look like a brush heap. |
Aunt Cinda would give admonitions
that the heads must be combed every |
after that and it would be
done for two or three Sundays but
that would be the last of it until the
next sheep shearing time. How
many of our older people white or
colored can verify what we have
said about Head Combing" in the
old slave time.
1t is a remarkable fact that in the
days referred to above the two races
together much more in
than they do now; they
were members of the same churches
and the children played together. 1t
Is also true that the idea of social
equality was not thought of by eth
az race

TALKING OF BEARS.
Hunter Declares Wild Animals are
Dangerous Only When
Attacked.

"In the Mountains of Wyoming
where have hunted for years, you
can find any kind of savage animal
that you get in America except al
Hgators. Critics. black bears and
mountain lions are commonly Killed
there" said Hugh Sniverly, of Sher-
idan. Wyo.. to a Louisville Herald
reporter. Some of the men that
come up these to hunt think that if
they stir 100 yards from the camp
they must be armed to the tenth for
fear of being attacked 10y a bear or
a painter and killed. There's a
heap more danger of getting killed
on account of leaving your gun AT
home when you go down to MarNet
street. Some one might shoot you
on the street of a big city, but II Is
dead sure that a bear or a mountain
lion will never attack you unless YOU
drive him to it.
I've hunted through the the best
districts for big game in this country
and I've seen a good many grizzlers,
but I've never seer one of them 90
after man unless he was colnered
or wounded. If you run into a griz-
zley bear in lonely place you'll hear
a grunt something like that Of a
mammoth hog. and then there'lI be
a mighty crushing of underbrush as
he makes off in the opposite direc-
ton as fast as he can 90. All you
can generally see Of a mountain lion
is a tawny steak rs he makes off nj
incredible speed If he has any in
tention of going after you il must
be his intention to go around the
world and catch you in the rear. for
if you are standing to the east of
him he is sure to go due west.
Mountain lions in the winter
time will follow sleighs at distance
wailing as they go. but there is moth
ing in that to inspire terror for
don't think they have ever been
known to close in on any body.
Their terror of human beings is the
thing which makes them hard to
shoot. In all the time that | have
been in the mountains | have never
heard of anyone being attacted by a
wild animal that has been left strict
ly alone. But I've known men to be
killed even by deer when the
brute was driven to desperation.
Grizzlies are the best game in the
world. Whenyo once get their dar-
der up they are saveage fighters and

mound discovered in the saw grass
south of Lake Okeechobee should
have been selected fora burial place.
The discoverer of this mound is
Mr.. Stafford Powers, of Labelle. who
was accompanied by William Pool,
of the same place. Mr.. Powers was
in town on Tuesday and showed us
many trinkets dug from this
mound.
He informs us that Pool and him
self started into the rich muck lands
from South Bay, looking for land
high enough to grow garden truck.
They had proceeded three quarters
of mile through the saw grass
when they were astonished to find a
sand mound 100 feet in width. How
the sand came there was a mystery.
as the deep muck is too soft for any
conveyance to travel over it. and it
is evident that the sand must have
been brought from the shore of
Lake Okeechobee.
Upon digging into the mound a
few feet the decayed skeletons of
many human bodies were discovered,
Mr.. Powers estimating that there
We're POO bodies there. Among those
decayed remains of an unknown
people We're found many mysterious
trinkets of gold, silver. copper, glass
and bone. Mr.. Powers brought
some of these relics to town with
him and showed them in the Press
office. These relics consisted of a
piece of cathedral glass, Spanish
coins. pearl beads, white and blue
glass beads of various designs,
enough solid gold beads to form a
large necklace. from the size of a
pea to that of a pecan nut. one bead
representing the head of a dragon: a
silver cross over two inches in
length. all hand-beaten, several silver
shields, large glass beads. some in
the shape of hearts, a sickle of hand
beaten silver, with mans head on
the handle, a number of solid gold
beads, similar to those found at
Mound Key, and a variety of silver
articles that are difficult to describe.
One of the most perfect articles is
solid silver ring. with Roman letters,
engraved on the inside. there being
several letters. and then an X. fol-
lowed by several more letters. and
so on around the entire ring. There
are also several ornaments made of
bone. upon which were carved cranes
and parrots, that bore resemblance
to japanese work. Mr.. Powers also
has many other articles of silver
which he did not bring in. If it was
