On a voyage in quest of $780,.
900 in Spanish gold. said to have been
hidden by pirates long ago on a little
island in the Spanish Main, Capt
Small, with his crew of one. In the
forty-five foot yawl Catherine, OF Liv-

The crew of the Catherine have al
ready tasted of the excitement that

terrific storm, which for a time
threatened to send the fifteen-ton
craft to the bottom, and later foated
for days becalmed on q sea as smooth
as glass until starvation threatened
the mariners.
Said to have been planted more
than 100 years ago by the famous
pirate Latrobe, the resting place OF
the treasure, according to Capt.
Small, has been fixed almost to a GER

BARGAIN HUNTERS ARE
THE SENSIBLE WOMEN
The Woman Who Does NOT Hunt Bar
GAINS MISSES Opportunities.
BY Arthur Brisbane.

Some foolish friend has asked us:
"Why do you not denounce the bar
gain-counter mania? Is 1t becauI>
you are delighted to have the adver-
Using that the bargain counters
bring?"
We are delighted to have the ad-
vertising that the bargain counters
bring, or any other honest advertis-
ing. We believe that the newspapers
are important to a community and
that they do good. And we know
that a newspaper like this, which
costs a good many millions year to
produce, and which is cold to the
buyer for good deal less than It
costs, could not possible live except
for the energy of merchants and
other advertising men.
At the same time, advertising does
not influence our opinions. Business
men know that, and others can find
out by experimenting.
We do not oblige our correspondent
by denouncing the bargain counter.
for instance. because we believe and
we know that the wise woman &C
tually profits by bargain advertise
ments invariably-we assume that
she does not buy what she does not
want because 1t is cheap.
Bargains are published sometimes
in order to bring women to the store.
A merchant is willing to sell them
one or two things at a very low
price, even for less than the actual
cost, trusting that while buying the
bargain they will be attracted by
something else on which he makes a
reasonable profit.
One department store always sells
and delivers sugar. one OF life's sta
pies, for less than 1t actually costs
the merchant to buy 1t wholesale.
Another merchant sells another
staple, a necessity Of everyday life.
for less than 1t actually costs him
always with the idea of bringing
women to the store.
Often merchants have extraordi.
nary opportunities of purchasing be-
low the usual market rate. They
| give their customers the advantage Of
these opportunities. and while they,
the storekeepers, make profit on
the transaction. the customer gets
valuable supplies for mcuh less thar
the ordinary cost.
In other cases merchants Compel
Ing with one another cut prices re-
CARELESS of actual cost. in the effort
to show more staying power or COM
mercial courage than rival
The intelligent woman is able to
identify the various bargains offered
for these reasons and others, in good
stores, and she combines with all the
| Joys of the chase the excitement OF a
shopping trip and the exercise Of
| judgment, the pleasure OF getting
something for very reasonable price
or for less than 1t is actually worth.
The woman who does not study the
bargains, compare prices and seize
opportunities, especially II she has
family to provide for with limited
income, is neglecting one of tho duties
and one of the amusements of wo.
mans life in America In the twentieth
century.-From an editorial In the

A Real Federation.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS;

Some little time ago The Independ.
ent discovered, in coy but distant
corner of the United States, a very
pleasing illustration of what The In
dependent has always stood for-that
is, religious fellowship. 1t has been
our good fortune to note the coales.
cence of rival camps of Christians,
but heretofore we have found very
little to encourage us in the way OF
local churches becoming unit for
religious work. In the little village
Of Sunnyside, in the State Of Wash.
ington, we have discovered fedora
ton Of this very sort. The preamble
to their work declares that they be-
lieve the spiritual interests Of the
community can be best promoted by
united efforts. A federation is thero-
fore formed. to continue for five
years, the object being to lessen the
expense and the diversity of effort
and the waste of power among the
churches. The plan does not disturb
any ones UNCONVENTIONAL work or
preference. There are six chourches,
but there is only one Sunday-school
organization, only one Christian En-
deavor organization, only one prayer
meeting. and the pastors of the vari.
Gus denominations fill their turns in
the pulpit. The federation has been
in existence for six and half years.
and 1t is said to have worked admira-
bly,. In other words. there is single
church building, but six churches.
The building cost about $500. The
women are federated as well as the
men, and do things all together.
There has been no quarreling, no riv-
airy, and not hint that the fedora
ton will ever be given up. 1t is a
little curious that six ministers
should be needed: they constitute,
however. practically board Of spir-
itual ad Users, and their salaries, we
imagine. are not extravagant. The
next step in this cooperative move
ment Is to place our churches on
business basis. The abraham Lin
coin Centre" in Chicago, is a church
building seven stories in height. The
upper three stories are devoted to
Offices, the rental of which pays the
expenses of the three lower stories,
which are filled with auditorium, pas
tors study, church library, classrooms
and all the other appurtenances Of an
institutional church. Are we coming
to an age when steeples will give way
to stories, and tire churches will be
supported by rentals? 1t looks as II
this might be one Of the features Of
the Industrial age. A church on
business basis will be no less
church, and will be more attractive to
those who dislike the almost compul.
sorry contribution to all sorts Of fairs
and affairs for raising funds. II this
evolution occurs it will dispense with
all excuse for withdrawing 100000.
900 Of property from taxation. The
present economic position OF our
churches is not only anomalous, but
1t is without parallel in its wasteful
ness. We note that the experiment
at Sunnyside provides that all run
ming expenses OF the federation shall
be provided fer by public collection
The Independent.

CHAPTER II.
SAND THE LIP"

All things are transitory, but man
who has been much humored-has
grown to expect a certain length OF
rope. Therefore the inheritance which
only lasts a week, and then, before one
has time to draw a single check. van
ishes away. is not even respectfully
transitory; it is ridiculous. The poet,
who must have certain time over
which to spread himself, would refuse
80 absurd a subject. An Inheritance OF
week, without touching a single
guineas worth Of 1t Is as foolish az
the imaginary winning Of great prize
in lottery. Pleasures of the imagina-
ton for a week; plans and schemes
ana vague rainbow-tinted phantoms OF
future joys for seven days. and then
nothipg-nothing at all.
