An idea struck him. however, and he
returned to the sanatorium, where he
| informed Fisher that the latter had
better personally find the gold, else it
probably never would be uncovered. A
spring wagon was provided and Fisher
was taken to the ranch and conveyed
ON a stretcher to the house. Although
extremely feeble he managed to point
out the particular log which upon re-
moval, disclosed a stovepipe containing
| $4,000 in gold coin. He was then convey
ed to the field, where he likewise desig-
mated the rick pile, under which $500
more ing old was found. This money
was afterward distributed among.
Fishers relatives, as the old man died
within short time after the successful
search.
But before passing away he asserted
that FRANKIE De Lond, who had lived
on the ranch adjoining his own on the
northwest also had planted gold about
| the premises, and that this likewise
could be found De Lond fifteen vars
ago went back to Wisconsin to settle
an estate. He was killed by his brother
in the brothers front yard. Peter,
| his brother who had occupied the
ranch with him, was killed in a mine q
few weeks before FRANKIE went East.
Peter said he believed the money was
buried in a cliff on White Cloud Noun
tain near the De Lond ranch
! Frank DeLond had no bank account,
and his brother recollected that when
he once asked him for loan of $1,000
Frank went to the hill and brought
back the coin. However, Peter
died, followed a few years later by his
brother Frank, and when Fisher, the
adjoining ranehman, found himself on
the verge Of death, he gave away his
own secret and as much as he could of
De Lond's
The method Of secreting the gold in
the rock was as follows A hole was
drilled into the solid rock quite deeply,
and a long iron soon with wide fare at
the bottom was inserted, The coin was
then dropped into the hole, and as
money was required the spoon was
hoisted up, as much money as was de-
sired was removed from the top of the
top of the pile, and then the spoon with
the remaining cash was again lover
into place.
! Only by the closest scrutiny could
this hiding place be discovered All this
description was given by Fisher, who
had obtained fragments Of it during
the proceeding year. Fisher passed
away soon after relating his story

leased to NJ. B. Ray, WHO with many

A RANCHMAN's GOLD.

Mountains.

Sick, He Buried His Wealth In the
Mountains.
Gold coin believed to be buried on a
ranch or White Cloud Mountain is
causing feverish excitement in the lit
tie town of Netherlands, a few miles
west of Boulder. AT least fifty persons
armed with picks and shovels have
been searching the locality where the
riches are supposed to be hidden. So
far the hunt has been fruitless, but it
will not be abandoned.
The story reads like the crudest fic-
ton, but it is absolutely true, as re-
sidents of the town will admit. Some
seven years ago Frank Fisher, pros
porous ranchman on the Boulder farm,
twenty-five miles west of Boulder, on
North Boulder Greek, was taken to the
Boulder Sanatorium suffering with an
ailment that gave him no hope of re-
covery. Realizing that he had not
long to live, he took into his confidence
fellow patient who was canvaleseing,
and informed him that he had treasure
buried on his ranch and in case Of his
death to search for it and dispose of it
as directed. W.

IN INTERESTING TEST.

There is more or less prevalent
notion in this country that there are
more fads and frilIs in the public
schools than there ought to be. This
notion found such expression in
Providence, Rhode Island, that the
school committee resorted to the refer
endum, and 1900 Of the parents were
glad of the opportunity to go on rec
ord upon the issue. Interesting re-
suits are reported regarding details Of
the vote. AS to teaching music in the
schools, 4,726 were favorable and 17s
unfavorable; as to drawing 1868 were
favorable and 222 unfavorable as to
gymnastics, 4,s51 we're favorable and
231 unfavorahle. Manual training and
nature study were less popular among
the parents, but nature study was
favored by S,s44, with 1904 dissenting
and manual training won by vote Of
1850 to 1047, Physiology won by a
majority Of five to one.
This is a decidedly interesting per-
Torrance, and it is probable that there
might be similar one in New Haven,
where there has been some such COM
plant as that which has been made
in Providence. 1t might also be that
popularity isn't sure test in such a
matter. Firecrackers and rum are
pretty popular.

The Green Fireeracker That used to be.

The Green Fireeracker That Used to be.
Oh, brother in the days of old, the
palny days of yore,
When we had fifteen cents to spend at
Henry Tilton's store,
10 celebrate the gloried Fourth, we al
ways hurried back
with three large cracker punches that
were straight five cents pack!
Ihey came from China and right IN the
midst of them was seen
One wonderful firecracker that was
wrapped in palest green
And you remember, brother, how we
fired them one by one,
Made "fzzers" of the ones that failed
to go off like a gun
And doled them out in miser bits, Tor
then we must take care
To keep our fun a-going till the evening
on the square,
When there would be skyrockets and
red fire and all the rest
We always kept the green one as the
last one and the best.
Ho, nowadays they shoot the things a
thousand at time,
And we might buy dozen packs, they
tell me, for a dime
But none of all the modern ones can
boom with half the Joy
OF those that came from China for the
wonder of each boy
And fixed and spat and sputtered till
our fingers were all BACKED
And then the wondrous green one You
remember how it cracked!

NOW 10 GET M4RRTED.

Perhaps the new girls don't want to
get married. They don't act as if they
did. But if they do perhaps they can
learn something that will be to their
advantage from Frau Liebreich, rich
woman Of Munich, who is convinced
that girls who wear white dresses get
married sooner than girls who wear all
kinds of colors. Accordingly she has
organized a league of white women"
among her friends, the members of
which undertake to wear pure white for
all important and ceremonial functions.
In her address to the first members of
the guild Frau Llebreich is reported to
have said Il loved my husband before
he loved me and he returned my affec-
ton only when he saw me accidentally
in a white dressing gown. White is a
symbol of pure love and thus appeals to
the better half of the male creation.
The plainest girl dressed in white will
conquer hearts more rapidly than a
libeauty who stoops to the meretricious
ATTRACTIONS of hundred hues."
If this advice is good the girls who
want to get married may now know
how to do. But who will tell them
how to stay married?

MT. HERMON ANNIVERSAHRY.
That Dwight L. Moody, the noted
evangelist was one of the greatest
educational forces of the last fifty
years, could not be denied after the
testimony which the former students Of
Mount Hermon gave Saturday AT
each Of the four meetings Of the day
this was the key note. Stories of
personal experience with him were
given and the day seemed to be a
MOODY Day The program began
with a sunrise prayer meeting, led by
Rev. c. L. Fish 81, of Kansas. The
main address was given at 1880 by
Rev. joni Mcdowell, 80 Pastor Of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church Of
Newark, n j., who. though only one
armed, was, during his college days at
Princeton, the tennis champion and al
so a-member of the hockey team. He
gave mastery appreciation of the
work which Mr.. Moody did for the
school, and the debt which the old
students owe him,
The early part Of the afternoon was
occupied with the various class meet
ings, after which the classes formed in
to the line and marched to the athletic
field, where the Demonstration" held
sway for the remainder of the day.

ROLLING ONWARD.

The automobile continues to roll on in
spite of accidents and fires. More than
$4,000000 worth Of automobiles were
brought into the country during the
fiscal year which ended last week, and
more than $S000,O00 worth were export
ed during the same time. Figures Of
our foreign commerce In automobiles
show the value of automobiles import
ed in the eleven months ending with
May to have been $500, PA, and of parts
thereof, $27S,5S9, while exports during
the same months amounted to 81, 957, 74S.
1T is apparent, therefore, that the fig
ures for the full fiscal year which end
ed with Saturday of last week will
show more than 100000 worth of au-
tomobiles and parts thereof imported
and more than s., 100000 worth exported.
Meanwhile, the manufacture of auto
mobiles in the United States has
amounted to presumably more than
$26, 100000, since the census bureau re-
Gently issued a preliminary statement
in which it shows the value of the au-
tomobiles manufactured in the United
States in 1905 to be $26,645. O64. This fig
ure includes amounts received for GUS
tom work and repairing and value of
products other than automobiles, bnt as
it does not include automobiles valued
at $S79, 205, manufactures in establish
ments engaged primarily in the manu-
facture of other products, it may prob
ably be safely set down that the value
of automobiles produced in the United
States approximates 100000.
Make way for the automobile. That
seems to be the safest thing to do, I'M
less you are constable.

The great development of commerce
at the port of Para, in Brazil, as a con-
sequence principally Of the sudden in
crease in the production of rubber in
the territory of Acre, has compelled the
chambers to authorize an extension Of
the port. At the present moment the
quays at Belem, which is the old name
for Para, are inadequate. The new
quays of the first section are to be 1900
metres long. The second section will be
begun only when the first becomes too
small for the trade, and will be 1000
metres long. On both sections will be
erected warehouses. The quays will be
fitted with the latest improvements for
the rapid handling of cargo. The cost
of the first section is estimated at about
e9,5O000O, and the second at nearly 3d.
