pointed Frederick d. Coburn to the
place, but the latter, to the surprise of
every one, put aside senatorial honors
on the ground that politics was not his
business. Then the position was Of
| fered to Judge Benson. There is
curious coincidence In this connection.
Judge Benson removed to Kansas from
New York state in 1869 and took I'D
the practice Of law in Franklin county.
One of his first cases was before
justice at Pomona. He started early
one morning to ride to the town, but
found that a creek which he had to
cross was up. He followed along the
creek for several miles and then found
farmer boy by the name of f. D.
Coburn, who directed him In the right
direction. The young lawyer attempt
ed to make his pony swim the stream,
but the current was too strong. Young
Coburn pulled him out Of the water.
This farmer boys declination Of a SEN
atorship in after years led to Benson's
appointment to it.
The new senator is sixty three years
Of age, Is veteran Of the civil war,
was wounded In the battle Of the
Wilderness and has served three terms
on the bench Of the Kansas district
court. The day he took his seat in the
senate that chamber Of legislation was
suddenly deserted by its occupants on
account of the appearance in the vi
cinity Of the capitol dome Of Beacheys
airship. One Of Senator Benson's col
leagues, thinking to be "sociable' to
the new member, asked If he had seen
the airship.
The Kansas senator eyed his ques-
toner narrowly. ooh, come now" he
said. II may look like darned fool,
but I'm too wise to bite on such
question as that"
Then Mr.. Benson was taken outside
and shown the airship and convinced of
his mistake

SEARCH FOR KRUGER's GOLD.
Thousands Spent in the Hunt-Schemes
for the Gullible

Since the late Boer war a new phase
of treasure hunting has been in vogue.
Some one started a rumor that ere his
departure from the Transvaal the late
President had a quantity of bar gold,
Variously estimated at q value ranging
from one to several millions, conveyed
up country and buried. The story re
Ceived so much credence that the British
government at Pretoria has provided
special permits and police assistance to
various persons who protested to be able
to guide Il search party to the hiding
place.
The degree of gullibility that even in
telligent and educated men can attain
when excited by treasure mania was
amusingly Illustrated by well known
instance A young Boer from the dis
trict supposed to contain the treasure
called upon a doctor near Johannesburg
and told strange story. He said that
one night while riding to the farm Of
relative he saw lights in wooded
kloof or gorge, and accommodating eau
tiOusly he saw a party of men remOv-
ing boxes from a wagon and burying
them
Carefully noting the spot he got away
| unobserved and returned next day, when
he unearthed box. which on being
broken open he found to contain bars
of geld and quantities of Kruger SOW
ereignS minted on one side only. In
confirmation of the story he produced
three discs of gold which appeared to
| have been struck on one side with an
imperfect die.
His object in calling on the doctor was
to borrow t50 in order to procure a
wagon and oxen to remove the treasure
He was asked why he did not bring
away the portable coin and thus make
himself Independent of outside financial
aid. His explanation was ingenious. He
feared TO bring more, lest he might be
found with them upon him.
1t is estimated that more than 10000
have been expended by the various
search parties that have undertaken the
search for the Kruger millions.-Cham-

SEA BIRDS GAVE WARNING.
Their Frightened Cries First Storm Sig
mails to People of Mobile.

Sea birds soaring in from Mobile BAY
sounded the first note of alarm and in
true Paul Revere style warned the peo.
pie OF that stricken city of the approach
OF the coast storm that later brought
such havoc to life and property. Through
some uneXplalnable atmospheric condr
ton these sea birds have advance
knowledge of coming storms, and they
invariably seek the shelter of the inland
country. Not only do they look to their
own safety but they shrek loudly as
they soar TO cover and herald their note
OF warning to man and beast.
AS early as Sunday night the people
of Mobile had given recognition 10 the
first fight of Mother Cary's chickens"
a rather timorous sea bird which Were
coming in droves from the coast and
passing Mobile in their early haste for
shelter. Monday morning the more
courageous sea gulls began to follow in
the path of the timid Mother Cary
chickens" and later in the day whole
focks of pelicans brought up the rear
of the procession that was headed to
safety.
The shrill notes of these frightened
birds could be plainly heard above the
din and noise of the busy city. and IN
the outskirts their presence had been
sure forerunner Of the disaster that
followed so soon after. The people had
no further knowledge of the coming
storm than that supplied by these
aquatic birds, but that was assurance
enough to satisfy all that a storm was
invading the coast section and that
might take its course up the bay.
Throughout Monday the presence OF
the frightened birds from the coast was
the feature of conversation. BY Monday
night there had been such a general
storm discussion that the people no
longer doubted the storms coming, ou'
only specialized on the time Of is arr,
