';Mammy" Wouldn't Tell.

On his native heath down in "Oie
Virginy' there is nothing the average
darby 1esents so vigorously as i'm
pertinence on the part of one of tho
race. A regular ''fo'-de-wah NANNY"
known By young and old as Aunt
Prudy,' was toiling up long hill near
her cabin home with huge basket of
clothes on her head, when she was
stopped by a little pickaninny sittina
on the fence who yelled in a shrill
voice: "Whar yuh goin', Aunt Prudy?"
Aunt Prudy turned slowly, and, with
frown to make statue thrill, thus
addressed the little negro: Use gwine
whar Use gwine, dat's whar Use gwine.

CLOSED up their lay-outs and began to

guessed he was not going to show the
white feather chasing jackrabbits.
They could sound the bugle charge as
soon as they got ready, and they would
find him in the game till the curtain
was rung down.
That was what they wanted pa to
say, so, as pas horse was tired, they
suggested that he get on to a fresh
horse, and pa said all right, they
couldn't get horse too fresh for him,
and he got on to spunky pony, and
l noticed that there was no bit in the
pony's mouth, but only a rope around
the pony's nose, and was afraid some
thing would happen to pa. I told him
he and I better dismount, and climb a

He SURPRISED Eliza

A story is going the rounds of the
territory press of farmer, living
few miles from Henryetta, who wore
his old suit until everybody was tired
of it, and his estimable wife was al
most ashamed of him. But one day.
when selling produce in town, he de-
termined to buy new suit, and
happy thought struck him. He would
surprise Eliza. So he bundled a new
suit into the wagon, hurried toward
home, and. at the bridge, two miles
from town, he stood up in the wagon
and peeled" and threw the despised
old suit into the creek. Then he
reached for his new clothes, They
were gone-had jolted out of the wag-
on! The night was cold, and his
teeth chartered as he scurried for
home. He surprised Eliza even more

numerous that they come IN or the
plains adjoining the green spots, at.
night, and eat everything in sight, SO
once year the people get up rabbit
drive and go out In the night by the
hundred, on horseback, and surround
the country for ten miles or SO, and at
daylight ride along towards a corral,
where thousands of rabbits are driven
in and slaughtered with clubs. The
men ride close together, with dogs,
and no guilty rabbit can escape.
Pa thought 1t would be a picnic, and
SO we went along, but pa wishes that he
had let well enough alone and kept out
of the rabbit game. Those natives are
full of fun, and on these rabbit drives
they always pick out some man to
have fun with, and they picked out pa
as the victim. We rode along for a
couple Of hours, flushing rabbits by the
dozen, and they would run along ahead
of us, and multiply, so that when the
corral was in sight ahead the prairie
was alive with long cared animals, so
the earth seemed to be moving, and it
almost made a man dizzy to, look at
them.
The hundreds of men on horseback
had come in close together from all
sides, and when we were within half
mile of the corral the crowd stopped
at signal, and the leader told pa that
now was the time to make a cavalry
charge on the rabbits, and he asked pa
if he was afraid and wanted to go
back, and pa said he had been a SOL
der and charged the enemy; had been
a politician and had fought in hot
campaigns; had hunted tigers and
lions in the jungle, and rode bare

think the cay of judgment has arrived.
Give me club"
The leader handed pa an ak handle,
and when we looked chead towards the
corral where the rabbits had been
driven, it seemed as though there were
a million of them, and they were
jumping over each other so it looked
as though there was a snow bank of
rabbits four feet thick. When pa said,
he was ready a fellow sounded a bugle.
and pas pony started off on the Jump
for the corral and all the other horses
started; and everybody yelled, but they
held back their horses so pa could have
the whole field to himself.
8 Gee, but I was sorry for pa. His
horse rushed right into the corral
amongst the rabbits, and when it got
right where the rabbits were the thick
est, the darn horse b egan to buck. and
tossed pa in the air just as though he
had been thrown up in blanket. and
he came down on a soft bed Of strue-

corral and watched pa, and Il got OF

Many Parties Hunt Treasure.

At present the island is guarded by
Capt. Matthews, its governor and part
owner. He is directing the search.
Harold Gray, of Ireland, claims tho
concession to hunt the treasure, but
the claim is combated by others. An
armed expedition under Lord Fitz-
williams of England had a brush with
the Gray forces last year and the
Costa Rican government was com
PEELED to send gunboat to restore
order. AS far as known the Cocos
island treasure remains undiscovered.
Most treasure hunts are being con-
Quoted by companies which provide
capital as a speculation. Now and
then, however, the. story comes to
light of some gold-dazzled individual
who sinks all his possessions in chas.
ing the golden will-o' -the:wisp.
One such man-William S. Meade
died recently, penniless and alone in
New York. Early in life, he made a
fortune through an invention, but
spent it all chasing the ignis fatuus
of hidden treasure. ~: ..-s>..;s:,
Meade asserted he had fallen heir
to maps and directions that would
lead to buried wealth that would run
up into the millions. He purchased a
large and expensive steam J., yacht,
manned it with large crew and ma
chinery for raising sunken galleons
supposed to be full of Spanish gold
and soon after the civil war set sail
for the south seas.
Disaster, wreck and privation fell
to the lot Of the first cruise and
Meade and his / companions were
forced to return without single find.
More money was sunk in fitting out
another expedition, but this, too, was
failure that ended in shipwreck,
