WHEN SPANISH PEAS
ANT CONFIDED SECRET
TO WOMAN
SHE GABBLED TOO MUCH
And Authorities SWiped the
Poor Mans Find
CBy Associated Press.)

Madrid. MAJ 9.--Like fairy tale
is the story published in the Madrid
press this week Of the sudden wealth
acquired by Andres Gonzalez, a pOas-
ant Of Colmenar de oreija. Struck by
peculiar appearance Of piece of stone
sticking out Of the ground near his
house he dug and brought to light an
earthenware pot full Of gold coin.
Andres took into his confidence his
wife, brother, and sister-in-law, and it
WIS decided that the matter must be
kept quiet. A few days later the two
me;e ID out fer this city and sold
thsi treasure for some $1,000.
In order to allay the suspicious Of
the neighbors. it was arranged that
Andres should write bis brother a let
ter saying that he had won the money
in lottery. But, unfortunately. the
woman concerned could not keep the
story Ct their wonderful luck quiet,
and as soon as the story leaked out
Andres received visit from a law
yer who claimed half the proceeds on
behalf Of the landlord, to which the
latter is entitled By the law of Spein.
AT first Andres denied all knowl-
edge Of the find, but involving himself
afterwards in contradictions. he had
to make clean breast OF the affair
and pay up.
But his trouble did not end here. He
was summoned before magistrate on
charge Of concerning treasure trove.
lie was convicted and sent to goal for
six months, while the others concerned
got off with sentences OF two months
each for aiding and abettipg The con
cealment Of the treasure.

No Nicotine in pipes.

There are probably few subjects about
which more people are msnformed thaa
nicotine.

brown substance which has about tho
consistency and color Of molasses and
accumulates in the stems Of pipes as.

distilled from the smoke just as coal
tar s distilled from coai and pine tar
from pine wood one might swallow all
the tobacco tar that "a rank clay pipe
contains without serious harm. II he
swallowed the same quantity Of nicotine
he would probably be dead inside Of five
niinutes
II Is the tar that stains The pipe. and
Il IS the same tar that stains the cigar
ette smokers fingers It IS also found
inside The nostrils OF one who inhales
smoke. and y puts an indelible stain on
mustaches
II is true chat tobacco contains moro
nicotine than any other known plant.
but nicotine is not a plentiful article in
its nature. The rankest Kentucky to-
bacco contains less than eight per cent
Of nicotine, and the finer grades OF to-
baceo. such as Havana. have less than
two per cent
One often hears cigarettes condemned
because the smoker gets 80 pluch more
nicotine through inhaling the smoke. Tho'
fact q that cigarette gets almost 40
nicotlne. because the tobacco Of which
cigare0es are made contains next to no.
nicotine Turkish and Egyptian tobac-
COS carry only trace OF nicotine, and
some of them mona at an.
No matter how much Of this deadly
element i tobacco contains. the smoker
does not get It. Nicotine isn't extracted
by burning the tobacco. Burning de-
stroys it entirely.
One often hears Of nicotine polsoniug.
but It Is very doubtful IL there IS any
such thing. When one Is poisoned with
nicotine he dies, and he does not get
poisoned By smoking. There ars plenty
OF good reasons why smoking should not
be carried to excess. but nicotine poison
ing is not one OF them.

The consumption Of champagne has
increased 80 per cent in the United
