Finds $4,000 Worth of Gems in Wall

Acting under instructions cabled
from England, John P. O'Brien, a
laborer employed in the wrecking of
the Worlds Fair buildings at st.
Louis, has unearthed analligator skin
bag, containing jewels valued at $780,
900, which were stolen from Mr.. and
Mrs. P. Henry Clayton, of Devon
shire, England, during visit to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition two
years ago.
The jewels were stolen from a
trunk, and were not missed until the
Claytona had returned 10 England,
after tour around the world. They
then had no means of knowing where
the Jewels had been stolen. About
month ago a Hiudoo servant, who
had been in their employ during
their trip, was fatally injured by an
elephant in India, and on his death
bed be confessed that he stole the
Jewels while in st. Louis.
He said that he became alarmed
and, fearing detection, dropped them
into hole in the wall of the Manu-
facturers' Building. Later he again
wished to secure the gems, but on re-
turning to the place where he had
secreted them could not reach the
bottom of the space between the
plaster and the side of the building.
Fearing to make any inquiries or ask
assistance. the Hindoo departed from
St. Louis with the Claytons, leaving
the jewels in their hiding place.
O'Brien was generously rewarded,
and has also become Mr.. Clayton g
personal attendant.

old pail close at hand, and into this
one can put all refuse, emptying it
at least once a day, either to burn,

careful to keep things picked up and
put in place, the yard about the
kitchen door may be as lovely as that
in front Of the house. This is the
part of the premises more often seen
by the housewife than any other, and
it should have bright things in it.
But the housewife cannot have this
beauty without cooperation of the
rest of the family, and she will often
be blamed for a dirty. disorderly back
yard when she has no sort of control
over it. This is where cooperation
should be strongly in evidence. am
sorry to say that the most frequent
offender against the rules of order as
they affect the back yard is the father
