Found a Pandora Box.
Especial to News and Observer

WILLIAMSON, N. c., Nov. 21.-
There was quite g sensation this
morning when q negro man and
woman who live on Mr.. James G.
Stations farm came to town and told
the following story: The young son
Of the man and woman was plough
ing in the field few days ago and
ploughed up box. He was so sur
prised to find this that he went to
his fathers house and told him Of it.
The man came out and found that
the box was 50 heavy that he would
have to have assistance to remove it,
so he called in a friend. They both
carried it to the yard of the man who
found the box, when the man who
had been called to assist told him
that he must not open it, 1.-The did all
the supposed valuables would vanish.
Taking this suggestion the two bur-
led the box again. This morning
when the man in whose yard it was
buried went out to get the box he
found that it had been removed, and
now accuses the one who had been
asked to help carry it away.
There have been all kinds Of guesses
as to what is in the box, but no one
knows. All the negroes, of course,
think it is money, some one having
said that it contained thirty thous-
and dollars. 1t is thought that if
the box contained anything valuable
it is silver ware which was perhaps
buried by the Stations during the Civ
il War to keep it from the Yankees,
and the burying place forgotten
The man who is accused by the ne
gro Of stealing the box is now in jail
awaiting the trial before the Mayor
| tomorrow.

ON PREPARING FOR 4 LIFE WORK.

OF all the unfortunate beings in
this world the man who can do any
thing is the most unfortunate. The
day Of the proverbial "Jack-of-all-
trades is past; We are living in al
age Of specialists. Every mans
work should be assumed as early in
life as possible and laid aside only
with old age and retirement from
active life. Many young men are
worried in the selection Of a voca-
tion-they can't decide what they
ought to do. For this We reason
the more versatile youth ,ftener
proves failure than the youth who
follows one strong, overriding in
clination. The majority Of failures
in life come, either from an unwise
selection of vocation, or from never
having struck just the right thing.
History and biography point to num-
berless examples of the one-talent
youth, who labored and thought,
day after day, Of one thing until
concentration brought success. But
not all men have one over-mastering
inclination-and why? Too often,
because the boy is hedged about by
the parent, and not allowed to follow
the promptings Of childhood, until
finally those promptings are Destroy
ed. No parent has the right to
jeopardize the future of his son by
determining for him his life work,
unless, perhaps, he has allowed the
child to develop his own tendencies
under parental observation. When,
under such circumstances, he feels
that he knows his boy he can afford
to direct, but not to persuade or
force. The National Home Journal
quotes pity from ancient writer's on
this subject:
''In the saying OF Solomon, Train
I'm child in the way he should 90:
and when he is old, he will not de-
part from it, is the suggestion that
the child ought to be started upon,
and exercised and practiced in, the
line of conduct which is specially fit
ted to his individual character, if
YOU would have him hold to it when
he is grown up.
Jewish rabbis in their application
of this inspired utterance say: AT
nine or ten years of age the child is to
be practiced to perform his religious
duties in order to make habit Of right
action the second nature. 1t is moi
enough that the child is already in
the religious community, and that
he is instructed concerning his re-
ligious duties; without practice in
these duties he is yet unframed iF

"Plato has seemingly paraphrased
the wisdom of Solomon into the
classic thought of his own people

Why Thirteen is Unlucky.

1t is usually stated that the supersti-
tious objection to sitting l3 at u table
in Christian countries was based on
the fact of the last supper, when
Christ and His l2 disciples sat down
the Savior was seized by His enemies,
says the Housekeeper.
But in the Morse mythology, which
Is supposed to antedate the introduce
tion of Christianity among the North
men, we find the superstition referred
to in the fact that at banquet of the
gods Loki, the spirit of mischief, in
truded himself, making l3 at the
table, wherefore there was a fight,
and Balbour, "a young hero especially
loved by all the gods. WAS killed.
For the fact IL the objection to this
number seems to have existed even
before Christianity. Among the Turks
the number is 40 disliked and feared
that 1t is never even uamed with the
Aztecs. the aborigines of Mexico. it
was believed to have magic power.
and like fancy has been found in
other Indian tribes
Among the ignorant blacks Of the
South the fear of this number in any
connection is actually absurd, but
whether they have borrowed this idea
from their imperfect knowledge Of
Christianity, or whether it is sur
vival of the voodoo worship of their
ancestors, 1t is impossible to say, for
the superstition has strong hold
everywhere, even amoug those who
should know better than to be swayed
by it. In Italy it is never used in

The greatest increase in value is
going to take place in Beaver Park,
also the quickest increase.
The Beaver Land d Irrigation
Co. is now selling 1000 acres, and
will sell 1900 acres additional
when their reservoir system shall
have been completed.
These reservoirs will require
from two to three yours for com
pletion.
To sell $4,000 acres the Beaver
company will have to take several
thousand people through the tract,
and chow them what has been ac-
oomplished by those who bought
the first 1000 acres.
Hundreds will want improved or
partially improved places, SO those
who buy in Beaver Park now will
get the benefit of all the advertis-
= ing the company must do to soil
the remainder of its land.
Every dollar you spend in
Beaver Park will double in two
years. You can buy twenty acres
now and by improving it, sell 10
acres for enough to clear 10 acres
in two years.
You will not doubt this if YOU
take the time to see Beaver Park.
1t is the most beautiful location in
Colorado. The soil is finer lor
fruit than any other, and the land
will all ultimately be worth 5000
an acre.
