Everything is by comparison. Said a
woman recently of young married
couple whose families are counted Sim
mensely rich:' s"They really cannot
live ON their income; it is shocking to
pinch as they must. Why, you know,
his father only gives him $4,000 a
year. He has salary Of $4,000, and
she has an allowance from her family
of $1O,OO0-only $4,000, with a $780,
900 house to keep up. It's outrageous,
with all the money there is in those
two familiesv' twenty-five thousand
dollars income and a completely fur
nished house and yet counted paupers
by the world in which they move! Bet
ter change the orbit and come into one
of common sense.-BOston Herald.

TWO RObBERlES
 IN PIRTLEVILLE
Thieves SC0rn Jewel and Mexican Money .$65
 aud SlI5

Douglas, Ariz., Feb. 16.-(SpeciaD-
 Deputy Sheriff Young Davis of Pir- tleyille came to Douglas this morning and reported two robberies in Pirtle- vile last night. The thieves secured s1S0 in American money. Two pairs of bachelors, all working at the c. & A. smelter, were the victims, one house losing s65 and the other s115 in cash.
 Two Americans who room together and work at the smelter on the same shift came of shift at Il o'clock last night. They found their room door open and on investigation learned that they were shy s65. They had some Mexican money and South Am. erican coins with the American money, but the thieves scorned it and all other valuables save American money. The thieves seem to have a key to the front door, as the door was unlocked. They left no trace as to their identity.
 Just across the street two Slavoni. an bachelors reside together. The thieves here cut out a window glass, apparently with a diamond glass cut ter. and entering prepared carefully for business. They lighted the lamp and hung up a sheet between the lamp and the window to hide the flame. These arrangements made. they broke open trunk and secured $115 in American money. Another like amount hid in an old shoe under the bed they overlooked. Here they also scorned all but American cash. leaving Mexican coins untouched and good clothes scattered all over the floor, with pockets turned. They also passed up gold and jeweled pins, six shooters and all other valuables. Am

TREASURE FOUND
 IN OCEAN
Douglas Man Was Too Late And EngIishman GOt
 5,x, Millions.

Douglas, Ariz., Feb. 16.-(SpeciaD- Several months ago M. s. Winnie was telling some Douglas friends about vast pirate treasure, known to himself and some Phoenix friends, located on Gecas Island in the Pa cific Ocean asMr Winnie was proprie- tor at that time of the Palace cafe in Douglas, and still lives here. He was negotiating with his friends in Phce- nix,J who owned a map of the island, which indicated the place where vast treasures were said to have been bur fed in years agone by pirates and Spanish refugees from California dur ing the Mexican war of independence. But MT. Vinnie's friends failed to come to his terms as to a joint ex- petition in search of the treasure, and the matter was for the time dropped.
 A few days ago he sold his restaur- ant in Douglas and might have used his knowledge and funds and persuas- ion to some purpose upon the Phoe- nix possessors of the treasure map and secret, but, behold, on the very night upon which the sale of his bus mess in Douglas was made, came the Los Angeles Examiner with a full page article and illustrations of the discovery upon the old pirate resort of Cocas Island of a treasure of gold, silver and jewels amounting in value. according to estimate, from S33, ,000, 900 to 100,000,000.
 The discovery was made by the British yacht Ras Marine, owned and commanded by Harold w. s. Gray. an Englishman. Ten days ago the yacht, fresh from the treasure island, put into. the harbor of Valparaiso, Chilli, South America. for coal. and the find was telegraphed to San Francisco.
 ''The yacht is now on her way to England with the tens of millions of pirate gold and jewels in her hold" says the Examiner
 And Mir. Winnie, of Douglas, who could not persuade his friends in Phoenix in time, and the Phoenix parties who procrastinated. are now very, very sorry they didn't hurry.
 The Phoenix parties, two brothers, made one trip to the Republic of Chilli, which owns the Cocas Island, to ob- tain a concession to hunt for the treasure, but they failed to get it. Some corrupt officials wished to i'm prison one of the party and force him to give up his secret. They had a narrow escape and came back to the United States to raise more money and try again.
 Years passed in procrastination and failure to obtain sufficient funds en. abled the lucky Englishman to get . concession from the Chilean govern ment and stumble on the big treas ure.
 It has been known for some sev- enty years or more that there was buried treasure on Cocas Island, and some had been, found, and battles had been fought for the right to ex- plore the island, but the old pirates generally hid their treasures pretty well, and the big find was left to be made by the Englishman.
