CHICAGO, Nov. 29.--Thanksgiv-
ing day in Chicago is bright and
mild. Over $4,000 transient
strangers are in the city today.
Most Chicagoans spent the day at
home, but tourists hotels and
theaters broke all records in their
efforts to entertain the visitors.

the same train and when young
Thulke got off at Fernie followed
him up town where he met his
mother, who was living at a pri-

Enright telegraphed informa-

said that extradition papers should
be hurried because Mrs. Thulke
had already seen a lawyer.
When arrested Mrs. Thulke had
$4,000 in cashin her purse. This
was taken from her and turned
over to the authorities of Fernie,
along with herself.

lion dollars eventually losing all the fruits of their
work in the Revolution. Finally, great sums having
been spent, many noblemen ruined, and many
lives lost, the Government sent scientific party
to investigate. They reported that every possible
spot had been explored to great Depths and that it
a physical i1npossi bility that there could be
any treasure in the ruins. Thereupon law
published forbiddng anyone to make further search
AS if in mockery, evidence of the treasures
stence suddenly appeared. One night girl, hav-
ing fled from home to avoid parental punishment,
took refuge in hollow of the sand by the wayside.
The earth gave way slightly as she crouched against
it, and revealed small opening, stone lined, in
which solid gold sa1ver, paten and fagon
studded with emeralds and rubies. These were
worth many thousand dollars and now repose in the
Louvre. Under the Republic the search
sumed, but since Brugere died really intelligent
hunt has been made.
In the outworks of Stirling Castle or the purlieus
thereof lies buried treasure that for its historical
associations alone would be worth a great sum in
the open market. In sol, when Mary Queen of
Scots returned to Scotland she brought many objects
of virtu and large fund said to have been gathered
by French Cardinals, which was trust fund to be
used only in extreme need and for the of the
church. When after seven stormy years she fled
the border to plead with Elizabeth trusty
friends concealed her personal treasure somewhere
near Stirling Castle. There is proof that it was
humed during her eighteen years imprisonment.
Both Jedburgh Castle and Kirkstall Abbey have

its whereabouts faint The history of the treasure

TVHE knowledge that

Il under their feet

seems to have kept whole COM
munities in turmoil for centuries, and the
certainty that huge treasure reposed IN
marked location where few hours of dig
cling should disclose it seems to have driven
many searchers to the very verge of insanity.
For instance Ducasse, the greatest of all
treasure hunters, who died in 1897 after
making, finding, losing, and recovering sew
eral fortunes, certainly shortened his life in
his mad hunt for gold.
No more alluring or more battling quest
can be imagined than the great King John
Treasure buried near Lynn in Norfolkshire.
When the prof1gate monarch was finally
driven to exile and death in Scotland he
took with him the entire royal treasure col
lected after his last burial of treasure, and
all the royal regalia of the Norman Kings,
including the crown of King Alfred. A
British Museum expert has estimated the
total value at twenty-five million dollars.
1t numbered his flight, and he was compelled
to bury it, according to his own account,
before his death, where the road from
Lynn to Swinehead crosses Wellestreme."
To certainty it has never been recovered,
though in the reign of Queen Victoria men
sinking a well struck a peculiar implement
shod with hook, and, pulling it out, brought
with it a coronet. Stupidity, they did not
pursue their search further, and now no one
knows where the we'll was sunk.
Quite as tantalizing is the history of the
Treasure of Guerdon, as it is called. 1t
takes its name from the famous old convent
of this town, and here in the sixth century
great stores of wealth were collected from
smaller ecclesiastical establishments to pre-
vent their falling into the hands of Norman
pirates. This was just before the death of
Clovis. When the invaders sacked the place,
they failed to find anything but minor
works of art and the commoner things of
value. Following their custom, their cap
tives were put to death, and fire and
weather effaced the marks which had been
put on stones to guide the owners of the
treasure to its recovery.

is that party of Cavaliers, fleeing from Marston
Moor, hid at the abbey and temporarily inferred
military treasure which they guarded for Charles 1.
They pursued by three troops of horse,
many were killed. many captured, and none was
able to return for the recovery of the money.
Quite compelling is the story of the great
Treasure of Orval. It was collected during long
period in many abbeys and finally removed to Orval,
the monks driven out elsewhere. When
they were forced from their greatest stronghold,
they left the wonderful collection of gold and silver
images plate, coin jewels, etc., most cunningly
concealed the single clue to its whereabouts being
the one word Memo. This was hastily carved

the key to certain cabaistc letters cut with evident
intention on all the other tombs.

THERE is growing belief that portion of the

ago young French girl called LA Blonde Camille -,

after study of her phenomenon by many learned
and sought to gain through her unusual gifts
a knowledge of the Orval Treasure This was un-
successful for sometime, and the girl wasted away
under the strain. At last she appeared to get
clue and the physician hurried her to the ruins of
the abbey. A few days later the girls mother re-
ceved letter from the physician, in which he de-
c1ared that the child dead and her body would
be found of the tombs of the abbots. The
letter went to state that the mother would re-

authorities were notified and detachment
OF soldiers was sent to the ruin, where they
found the girls body without mark of vio-
lence stretched on a sarcophagus. The
promised money came regularly to the
woman through a Partisan solicitor, and
about twenty years ago a son of the ply
slclan, who had been in moderate circurrl-
stances, appeared in Paris and is now living
there, the possessor of a splendid income.
More fascinating than a romance are the
bare facts of the vast treasure now called
the Rouvlere Quest, getting its name from
the Marquis of Rouviere. Behold a man
who received most strangely the exact loca-
ton of a long forgotten treasure attested
by King and a dozen of his mobiles, and
yet the indicated spot rewarded him nothing
for lifetime of digging. The young mar

One day there came to him stranger, who
introduced himself as French savant MAX
ing research by royal permission in the
Tower of London. The antiquarian said
he had found in the bottom of chest of
trophies in the Tower a small locked and
tached, but the key was bound by parch-
ment which was covered with heraldic seals.
and with each seal, of which there were
fourteen, was the signature of an illustrious
Frenchnan Among the others the savant
showed the seal and signature of the mar

were disclosed. there was great excitement

Saint Louis founded Sainte Chapelle he was
the possessor of the whole treasury of

sacking of St. Denis the statues were re-
moved and hidden in secure place. When
the mob broke into the Sainte Chapelle the
images of the twelve Apostles had van
ished. Those now in place are replicas in
less costly material.
The probable value of the treasure was
set by the finders of the box at the amazing
sum of fifty-one million dollars. The in

THE MEAT PACKERS.

Several new situations have grown
out OF the passage Of the meat inspec-
ton bill. One Of them is that hereaft-
er the packers will not be able to work
up into food delicacies any of the dis
eased hogs or cattle which have here.
tOfore had q market value sufficient to
pay for their transportation to market,
as government inspectors will not only
hereafter condemn such animals, but
the law provides that these carcasses
must be destroyed at once, Not being
able to sell the products from such
animals, 1T comes about very naturally
that the packers will not buy them.
The new situation will render 1t expe-
dent for farmers to quit feeding such
animals and put them out Of the way
as soon as disease Of any kind may
appear. Indications point to the fact
that the operation of the new law will
result in q renewed campaign for the
eradication of disease among all farm
animals used for food.

INSECT R.AVAGEs

1t is estimated that the annual loss
OF crops by insects alone is over $500
OG0eO0. If this be true, one cannot do
better than encourage those birds and
animals which destroy the worms and
insects. Some OF the birds which sub
sist almost wholly upon insect life are
the swallows martins, vireos, wood
peekers, chickadees, wrens, cuckoos,
svifts and fycatchers, The robin and
the bluebird will ask for small share
OF grain and fruit in return for their
services; but. then, It must be remem-
bered that they come early and stay
late and are very faithful. It is an
interesting fact that the stomach Of
the very young bird is so delicate that
1t can only digest animal food, and
this creates q demand for the insect
life. Another valuable assistant is the
harmless and inoffensive toad. The
children should be taught not only to
recognize this little animal and the
birds as having right to live, but also
to regard them as valuable aids upon
the farm.
