A singular case Of treasure trove
Is reported from the Belgian village Of
Saint Omer.capelle. where some boys
climbed an old willow tree to rob a
birds nest found in a hole high up in
the trunk an old leather bag.
On opening this they found it to
contain what seemed to be bright vel
low counters and pieces Of paper bear
ing writing which they did not under
stand So they made playthIngs Of
the lot, aud gave some away. without,
however, anything being damaged.
AS soon as the find reached the ears
Of the parents they naturally guessed
the truth. Some among them. being
honestly disposed, gave information 10
the Marie. which after some trouble
resulted in the whole contents Of the
beg being got together again. They
were old notes and gold representing
20 900 francs.

HELP THE TOWN.
Some Of the Virtues in Friendly 7iv-
airy Between Merchants.

Good, healthy competition and
friendly rivalry, devoid Of all spirit Of
hoggishness. Is a good thing for any
town. Each and every business man
and property owner in a town. and the
country Immediately surrounding It
should be intensely interested in every
project, particularly should every meT-
chant be active In matters that means
general prosperity for the place, and
which will Increase trade for all the
merchants Of the town. People gen
orally like to do their trading In towns
where there are well kept stocks and
plenty variety OF goods. and where
there is sufficient competition as to
assure low prices consistent with good
business judgment There is little use
for the merchants OF a place TO blow
and brag about their business, unless
they can demonstrate that they are
delivering the goods" and satisfying
their customers There is no good to
be looked for by merchants decrying
the goods and the methods Of their
brother merchants There is no more
effective way Of killing &he business Of
a town than by fostering a spirit Of
petty jealousy and Of narrow selfish
ness Wherever such spirit is found
It will be discovered that trade is be
ing turned 10 some other town where
merchants and business men work

SURPRISE TO WEATHER MAN.
Rainfall Yesterday Described al
Meteorological Bluff.

The quick downpour of rain which came
bowling over Washington late yesterday
afternoon from the northeast caught the
weather man unawares. He had been
| watching humid condition up in northern
New York when the watery visitor from
Maryland sneaked into the District and
gave the city a good wetting down. The
first shower was accompanied by dark
masses of churning clouds and gusts of
wind, and the weatherwise citizens who
base their forecasts on omens and other
things concluded that .teady rain might
set in. The clouds and wind, however. were
described by a veteran weather man as a
meteorological bluff" and after few
short showers the skies again became fair
and smiling.
At this season of the year, with a high
percentage of humidity in evidence, it was
explained by a weather official, it is difficult
to predict when there will be showers 1t
was predicted this afternoon that the pres
eat uncertain conditions will continue until
tomorrow, and in the meantime there may
be some more showers.
But" concluded the predictor. 'condi-
tions will be cooler"

Asbill was of the opinion that the

that many of the pigs had probably

investigators did some hurried inves-

years to select their sick pigs and
just as it appears they are about to
