One reason why tie search was 50
keen and thorough was because of the
numbsr Of heirs who came forward
Plenty of people had heard old Jake
declare tha! he was the last of his race
aud II le had any blood relatives at all
they were second cousins living I'm
some province in Germany. but no
sooner had news of his death travelled
about than kinsmen began showing up
and filing their claims
Van Grten was German born. hut
Englshmen. Frenchmen and Italians
came forward, to say nothing of Amer
leans, aud none OF them. according to
his account, was anything less than
first cousin. All insisted on the most
rigid search, and, although not allowed
to participate in II, the sheriff did his
whole duty. When he had finished
with the house II was wreck, and all
agreed that dollar bill could not have
been hidden away and escaped the
search.
As nothing was found In the house.
the heirs" insisted on the grounds be.
Ing searched. Diggers threw up the
earth at the foot of every tree, rocks
were rolled over and mounds burrowed
Into, and another two weeks were
wasted in vain.
The searchers hated to let 90, but
they had to, and then the only thing
remaining was to sell the old mans
personal property at auction and turn
over his real estate TO the law and let
the heirs prove their claims The term
personal goods and chattels" made
everybody smile. The straw beds and
dirty blankets, the two or three old
chairs, the rusty and broken old stove
and the few cracked dishes were val
ued at 81 at a liberal estimate, and
when farmer named Robinson bid
them in for 30 cents lie was made the
butt for many jokes. He loaded up his
bargain" and carted it off and the
case was considered closed.
Many people continued to search for
year, taking in woods and hills four
miles away, but at last it was dead
subject and was not heard of again for
ten years.
Then a very singular thing happened
Robinson, who had removed to another
state, met with fatal accident, but
before dying made a confession. He
passed for and really was a wealthy
man, and as to how he had made his
money no one knew. In his confession
he said that after getting the old stove
home he found the oven doors wired
up. Loosening one OF them he looked
in to find the old miser's strong box
resting there. BY the use of brick and
mortar the oven had been so shut off
that a fire in the front of the stove
would not warm 1t. While the stove
was the most conspicuous object in the
Kitchen, it was at the same time the
safest hiding place for miles around.
There was over $4,000 In the box and
the finder simply kept quiet until he
could arrange to move away and enjoy
1t. At the auction SALE when that old
stove was bid in, there were at least
200 men in attendance, any one OF
whom could have got the fortune by
raising Robinsons bid 10 or 10 cents,
and now, after twenty years have
elapsed, none of them still living has
forgiven himself.

The Famous Hanging Gardens.

Every one, young and old, has
heard of the hanging gardens of
Babylon, but few persons perhaps
know how they were constructed.
They were about four acres in ex-
tent and were built on a base sup
ported by pillars. They rose in ter
races to a height OF 800 feet, and
it is said that they looked from a
distance like great pyramid cover
ed with trees, Strange to say, they
owed their existence to the whim of
a woman, Queen Amytis, who grew
so tired OF the plains of Babylon
and pined 50 much for the hills of
her native Media that her husband,
King Nebuchadnezzar, had the gar
dens built to please her.

The Little Darling.

Some flowers are universal favor
ties. OF these the mignonette is
one. Its original home was north
Africa, from which it found its way
to Italy and then to Paris. Here
Lord Bateman met it in 1749 and,
being enamored Of it, brought
some seeds to England, where he
was thus its introducer. Delighted
with its unassuming look and choice
fragrance, he called it mignonette,
or little darling" The strange
thing is that, though this word is
French, the plant is not known by it
in France. In that country it is
styled LIE Reseda odorant, which is
merely the French translation OF its
scientific name, Reseda odorata.

A clever Trick.

Half fill glass with pure clear
water. Drop into the water the new
est, brightest twenty-five cent piece
you can find and cover the top of
the glass with plate.
Then invert The combination so
that the glass stands upside down
in the plate. DO this as quickly and
as deftly as possible, so that the wa
ter may not escape from the glass.
Here is where the mystery comes
in: a twenty-five cent piece appears
to be floating on top of the water,
while another one seems TO be rest
ing on the bottom in the plate. In
place of one piece of money it looks
as if you had two.
The illusion is caused by the phe-
nomenon known as the refraction of
light.

A mother should come to her child's aid at this critical time and remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will prepare the system for the coming change and start this try ing period in young girls life without pain or irregularities.
 Miss Emma Cole of Tullahoma, Tenn, writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham;
 "[ want to tell you that am enjoying bet ter health than have for years, and owe it all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound.
 |" When fourteen years of age l suffered al- most constant pain, and for two or three wears had soreness and pain in my side, headaches and was dizzy and nervous, and doctors all failed to help me.
 "Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended, and after taking it my health began to improve rapidly, and think 1t saved my life I sincerely hope my experi- ence will be a help to other girls who are pass ing from girlhood to womanhood. for know your Compound will do as much for them"
 If you know of any young girl who is sick and needs motherly advice ask her to write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and she will receive free advice which will put her on the right road to a strong. healthy and happy womanhoOd. |. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge.

Why Doctors Say
 Drink Pabst Beer
Because 1t is Clean, and They Know the Importance of Clean Food
 and Drink.


 We have found by careful inquiry that doctors, in perhaps the large ma jority of cases, prescribe Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer because they know of it's absolute purity and positiveecleanliness. "It Is the clesnest beer in the world v said one of Chicagos leading doctors the other day when asked about It. What appeals to me- he said, lis the Pabst process, so very different from all the rest. We doctors appreciate sterilization and we are teaching the people in their homes the value of ster- iiization On almost every visit we make we emphasize that. I have vis- ited all the breweries of importance in the country. and I must say that for absolute cleanliness there is no beer to equal Pabst. I prescribe 1t in my prac- tioe and drink it myself" 5
 In our own homes we insist most strenuously upon our food being clean. If we stop at a hotel or restaurant where the food of the dishes are un- clean, we are quite likely to change boarding places next time. Are we as careful of what we drink? Purity Is essential We want the best always and especially do we want 1t if impur- tty and adulteration means harm. But is not cleanliness in the preparation of our food or drink of equal import ance? We think so and we believe our readers agree with us that when we drink beer we must know 1t Is not only absolutely pure and wholesome. but that 1t Is absolutely clean. Pabst beer. as we said before. is recognized by doc tors as the cleanest beer.
 The aging of Pabst Beer is another point wherein the great Pahst brewery exceIs. Pabst Is the perfectly aged beer. Not a bottle or a keg eyer leaves the brewery until science and the test of time shows 1t fully aged and mel 1avu

SIGNALS ON BOXES
NEW ORDER CONCERNING RURAL.
 MAIL SERVICE.
Patrons Must Display Signs When They Have Matter for Carriers--A Letter from Wash
 fnGfOu.

As the result of hundreds of com pIaints from farmers in all parts of the country. regarding the rural free de-
 livery service. the Postofice Depart ment at Washington has issued gen. eral order requiring patrons of rural delivery routes to display signals on their boxes when there Is mail for the carriers to collect
 In a letter received by Assistant Postmaster H. F. Irwin yesterday, in- structions governing the use of signals on rural boxes were set forth for the carriers, and for the patrons of their routes. Hereafter. when patrons have mall to be collected, a small signal must be set upright on the box. On the other hand, when carriers have left mall in rural boxes, they must set the signal so that the owner may know there Is mail matter waiting Tn the box for him. After mail has been taken from the boxes, either by the carrier or the owner, the signal Is to be low cred. The carriers are instructed in the letter from Washington to inform dwellers along their routes of the or der.
 Following is the letter from the Postofice Department:
 "Postoffioe Department, Fourth Assist ant Postmaster General, Washington, May 20, 1906. ITO Postmasters:
 q On and after July 1. 1906, patrons
 of the rural delivery service will be required to display signals on their | boxes when they leave mall in l them for carriers to collect. as, after that date. carriers, when serving their routes, will not be required to open and examine any mail l boxes except those to which they have I mail to deliver and those on which sig nals are displayed to indicate there is mail for carriers to collect. "2. Those patrons whose boxes are not provided with signals must attach thereto some device which, when dis played, will plainly show passing car riers there Is mail 10 be collected. It is not necessary that such device shall be either complicated or costly; very simple arrangements will answer the purpose.
 "3. Carriers must lower the signals on boxes after making collections pro- vided no mail is left therein; and must display the signals when they deposit mail for patrons, unless the patrons have made request to the contrary.
 "4. The carriers must be instructed to promptly inform patrons of their routes with regard to this order. and you should, without expense to the de- partment. use such other necessary
 means for informing them as will se- cure a complete understanding and full compliance by all patrons on the date mentioned.
 "5. Two copies of this letter are here with enclosed. one to be immediately posted by you in a prominent place in the public part of the postoffice. and the other to be placed on file.
 "Very respectfully. "P V. DeGraw,
 "F'ourth Assistant Postmaster-Ge General"
 The new order will doubtless prove to be a convenience to patrons of the rural route service.

Washington. May 22-commissioner of Corporations James R. Garfield stat ed today that he would submit to the President further information on the result of his investigation of the oil industry It has not yet been deter mined, however, whether this will Do in one single report or several separate reports.

Garfield is now engaged in preparing reports on the production and refining of oil, the control of pipe lines, orsani- zation, foreign trade and conditions, and competitive methods. The data of the first four has practically all been received and the report on competitive methods is well under way. Mr. Gar. field said he did not believe he would be able to submit to the President any of these reports before the adjourn ment of Congress.
