But They Make Heap Of Trouble in
Two Prominent Families.
Associst~d Press to The Evening Timea.
Portland, Me-, Nov. 9.-Two Maine
townships and two prominent families
are in a complicated tangle that is al
most feud over 81 ,25O in Spanish and
American coin of ancient date which
has been found buried in old tin cans
In the ruins of an old mill on the land
OF Leonard Hackett, of New Vine
yard.
1t Is asserted by the heirs of Alex
ander Porter, who died a miser fifty
years ago, that the money was buried
by him. When the money was buried
1t was in the town of Strong. Later
the town boundaries changed and the
spot became New Vineyard.
Under the law the town where bur-
led treasure is found may claim and
hold one-half of the treasure found and
the individual persons making the find
the other half That is to say, unless
lawful heirs or the person who con-
cealed the treasure arise and prove
their rights to the property.
There are seven direct heirs of Alex
ander Porter, the children and grand
children of these being numerous.
Now the Hacketts claim half on their
land; the heirs of Porter claim half
because he buried it; the town of New
Vineyard claims half because the
Hacketts' land is in New Vineyard, and
the town of Strong claims half because
the money was originally buried there.

Anerica's Gflded Youth.

1t Is the ambition of many well-to-
do father in these days to shield his
son from the struggles and privations
that marked his own career. The man
who had to work from ) IN the morn
Ing till sundown on a farm or associate
with ignorant or brutal labOrers In
menial callings or deny himself all the
luxuries and many Of the so.called ne
cessities In order to get ahead In tho
world says: MY boy must never have
such a hard time as | had; his way to
success must be made smooth before
him by the advantages he Will have
over those that had" and he plans to
make 1t easier for him. Yet 1t Is one OF
the most familiar facts in life that this
affectionate ambition of the rich father
for his boy falls Of realization. Almost
every newspaper that falls from the
press tells the melancholy story of
rich mans son who has disappointed
the hopes Of his family and whose prin-
clpal service to humanity has been to
serve as warning to those who come
after him. We know what the gilded
youth with n fabulous income does
with his money and with himself. His
patrlmony and his vital forces are con-
sumed In the mad pursuit of pleasure
In some new or extravagant form.-In-

SuDeriOrity of the Mule.

The mule is less nervous than the
horse and therefore loses less energy In
useless fretting. In fact, one of the
chief characteristics of the mule Is his
ability to take care Of himself under
all circumstances, says Farming. Much
of the apparent shirking which Is
charged against the mule is an inborn
tendency to husband his strength and
make every effort count The result
Of this instructive care on the part OF
the mule Is that he is able to turn out
more work than would be possible for
horse Of the same weight under the
same conditions. The mule instructive
lily avoids holes, sharp obstacles, barbed
wire fences and various other forms of
danger which are not so successfully
avoided by horses. 1t is matter Of
common observation that In instances
where mules run away they seldom In
jure themselves to any serious extent.
