For Band Concert.

An effort to raise money for
band concerts each Saturday
afternoon during July, August
and September, is now being
made by prominent citizens who
desire to see a little life in Lo-
gan. The plan is to have the
Logan City Band, fifteen men,
bers, play on the public square
from to Z O'Clock p. m. 1t is
said this service can be secured
each Saturday afternoon for
about 800 or 1925 month, and
at 80 cents per week from each
business house this amount could
be raised without difficulty. This
seems reasonable enough and it
is to be hoped that we may ar
range to get the concerts, as they
add materially to the summers
pleasures.

deal was closed, $2,700 being the
purchase price, as we understand
it. The old church property on
West Center street is now for
sale.
The new location is indeed a
very desirable one and will give
the Episcopalians a new lease on
life Like the Presbyterians and
Methodists, they have hard row
to hoe in this community and
none will begrudge them any
comfort they can get out of any
seeming progress evidenced by a
new meeting house. In fact, the
liberal minded will welcome even
progress of this kind and wish
the Episcopalians joy. The re-
moval of that miserable looking
structure now on the Martineau
corner will add much to the ap-
pearance of that section of the
city.

SEEK LONG BURIED WEALTH.
Gold Hunters Kill Trees and Turn Up
Much Soil in Search,

Ever since John Finn, a farm
hand in Hanover Neck, unearthed a
small tin box with British gold
pieces in it the farmers in this Sec
tion Of the state have been annoyed
by bands of treasure hunters, says
the New York Tribune. Tradition
says that much treasure was buried
about here by farmers wives during
the revolution to prevent the British
soldiers from getting it. The sol
diers learned, it is said, that a wom-
an named futile had several hun
dred pounds hidden away. They
never learned, however, where il
was. She was put to death, so the
story goes, and her home was burned.
No one has ever found any of the
treasure. 1t was said that the
money was buried at the root of an
old tree and the treasure seekers
have dug around all the old trees in
Hanover Neck. Many of the prop
erty owners hope that the coin will
soon be found, for many fine trees
have been killed by the gold seek
ers. Not only have the roots been
exposed, but in some instances ex-
plosives have been used. Scarcely a
tree In the immediate neighborhood
OF Hanover has escaped the seekers.
Finn was compelled to leave town.
as curiosity seekers annoyed him SO
that ne was absolutely no use to his
employers. He received many offers
Tor hls coins, but he decided that if
they were worth that much to Others
they were double the value to him.
and he refused not only to sell but
even to show them to strangers. One
coin collector offered $500 for the
money.

EVOLUTION OF THE DOLL"

A relic of the old days-probably
not much more than two centuries
ago-before little girls began to call
their toy babies "dolls" instead OF
puppets" or "poppets," is to be
found in ''pretty poppet," a term Of
endearment still sometimes heard.
No doubt "popsywopsy' is simply
an improved version Of this. 'Pup.
pet" is descended, Of course, from
the French "poupee" and the Latin
"pupa," a little girl or doll, from
both Of which have come other Eng
fish words. "Poupee" has given us
puppy" so-called because the tiny
dog was naturally petted as a play
thing, and the Latin word survives
in the sense Of a chrysalis, and has

eye, the 'baby" that anyone may
see reflected in it.

A GIRL N A LION.

I, In Montana, one day last Novem-
Der, a girl II years old, named Anna
DAVIS, daughter of a ranchman. was
riding her pony along a trail lead
ing up a r%avine, when a mountain
non sprang upon her from the limb
OF a tree. His spring carried her
out OF the saddle and over a cliff
where she lodged in a tree top. The
hon also hung there for a moment
and then his hold gave way and he
went down for a hundred feet
further and was smashed to pieces
on the rocks. Miss Anna MANAGED
to climb back up the cliff and ind
and mount her pony, and an hour
later she arrived home with only q
lew scratches to show for her thrill
ing adventure. The body of the
non was found and skinned and the
pelt given to her to make a rue for
ner bedroom. Had the beast leaned
from some other place he would
surely have made her his victim.

mony-Hunter's Goodness.

Carl Jeppe, in his Kaleidoscope
Transyaal," gives some amusing
sketches of old Boer days. For in
stance, showing the patriarehal type
of the old government "a Mr.. and
Mrs. Bierman were the proud par
ents of a daughter whose charms
had attracted the attention, soon
famed into love, of a rich Portu-
guese whom VIC shall call Mendoza.
Unfortunately, his passion was not
r~eciprocated, and the young lady
would have none Of him, though her
parents strongly supported his suit.
The lover and parents then together
approached the government for sue
cor in their hour of need. The re-
suit was effective. A proclamation
was promulgated in the government
gazette solemnly prohibiting all
ministers, magistrates and other
marriage officers from joining Miss
Bierman in holy matrimony to any
individual except the said Mendoza.
Rather than see herself condemned
to eternal spinsterhood, Miss Bier
man capitulated."
"Oom Paul" Kruger was not the
only cool-headed hunter. Mr.. Jeppe
writes again: I'D. S. Mare, magis-
trate Of Zoutpansberg, was out lion
shooting with the late Barend Vor-
ster, a mighty hunter before the
Lord. A lioness had been wounded,
driven out Of cover and stood at bay.
The landdrost jumped off his horse,
fired and missed. 1t was now Vor-
ster's turn, since there was not time
for his friend to reload. In dis
mourning ne dropped his watch and
stopped to pick it up. The lioness
seemed about to charge and Mare
urged his friend to shoot. Vorster
replied, grumblingly, that the glass
OF the watch had been broken.
Never mind that now; the
lioness is ready to SPRING Mare re-
piled. DO you know Vorster said,
l shall have to send the watch to
Pretoria, and that it will cost me
five shillings to get it repaired?'
Good heavensp the magistrate an

JUNGLE HUNTING IN PANAMA.
Guide with a Big Machete Is Usually
Necessary,

As there are as yet practically no
roads in the interior of Panama and
rails are nearly always tributary to
he nearest river, travel is almost
entirely done by canoes, says a
writer in Recreation. The native
ayuco or piragua of the interior is
usually made of native cedar, mar
row, fiat bottomed and ending a
Cat, platformlike bow and stern.
This peculiar construction is to en-
able one to land directly over the
bow or stern when, due to the ma
ture Of the bank, it is impossible to
more than force the bow to solid
ground.
A trip up the river needs little
preparation as compared with a
camping trip to a cold climate. A
good guide with his big working
knife or machete can do wonders.
With this he can cut trail, clean the
camp site, make a shelter or house,
a bedstead, a mattress or thatch
and a cover for the fre-all fastened
together with vine ropes which he
cuts near by. He can cut frewood
and dress game, slice bacon or pota-
toes, chop out an impromptu paddle
or palanca, "cut rubber" dig roots,
get out fair-sized logs and, if neces-
sary, infict serious wounds with it.
AS your canoe slips quietly along
the bank Of some good river, the
charm is derived both from the
beauty Of the scene and from the
feeling Of expectation regarding new
sights and chances at odd sorts of
game. You round a bend, your
canaletero, or paddleman, stops and,
as you slowly bring into view the
stretch of vuelta beyond, probably
he says, 'Gogarto, senior, ALI ALI"
and when your unaccustomed eyes
finally follow his direction you see
q big gator, light gray on the back
from dried mud, and yellow below,
lying like a log on the farther mud
bank. He sees you, you may be sure
OF that in fact, he usually sees any,
thing that moves, and hears and
smells as well as he sees he is in no
to slide into the water, how
ever, for he sees native canoes every
day and they never bother him.

asked the butcher who bought it.
"That man who was talking to
