Superstltious beliefs still linger In
the remote villages of Cornwall, and
the tenacity with which many of the
Cornish folk cling to them Is strik-
ingly illustrated by remarkable
story of search for hidden treasure
which comes from Wendron.
Nearly half a century ago an old
lady named Varker lived in cot
tage at Lower Bodily, in the parish
of Wendron, which had the reputa-
ton of being haunted by ghosts One
night she declared that two pixies
had paid her visit and told her that
vast treasure was hidden beneath the
cottage.
With the reputation which the
humble dwelling had for being
haunted, the story was received with
considerable credence In the district
II made such an impression on her
two sons that they Immediately com
menced 10 excavate for the treasure
Taking up the floor of one of the
rooms, they sank a shaft TO the depth
of several fathoms. Water invaded
the shaft and pumps and other appli'
ances were erected for draining and
hauling. The premature death OF one
of the brothers led TO the abandon
ment Of the operations without any
treasure being discovered.
Now, after the lapse of forty years
the search for the supposed hidden
treasure has been resumed by w. II
varker. a resident of Goldsithney and
grandson of the old lady who held
communication with the pixies. In
the interval the cottage has beer
demolished. but Mr. Varker has To-
Gated the site, and with the help oi
another man from the neighborhood
Is engaged in sinking a shaft.
The excavations already extend 70
a depth of twenty-four feet. of which
seventeen feet is vertical and the re-
mainder on an incline. Pumps and
machinery are in course OF erection
and the explorer is sanguine of sue
cess.
Some of the older folk in the dis
trict entertain the belief that the
cottage marked the site Of a snug
gler's den and that the sinking OF
the shaft will lead to the discovery OF
underground passages. - London

THE GREATEST aRoUoH.
Good Story of Dean Swift, Told by the
Man Who Ate Asparagus Stalks.

Perhaps the greatest crouch of lit
erature was Dean Swift, that whmsi-
cal misanthrope, who evinced a NOR
bid delight in humiliating his sociel
interiors, because he himself, when
young, had been outrageously affront-
ed by his superiors,
Swift had acted as private secTe-
tary to Sir William Temple Once,
when Sir William was confined TO his
bed with govt the king, William Ill,
visited him. aud Swift ofliciated as his
maics;ya guido through the gardens
of Moor ruk. The king taught the
secretary how 70 cut asparagus in the
Dutch way, and Swift had also the
felicity of seeing him cat the vege-
table.
Years afterward. when Swift was
dc;.l of ST. Patrick's cathedral in
Dublin. his publisher. Faulkner, called
. ut the deanery on business connected
With some proofshC,t is. Having been
detained until near dinner time. he
was pressed by the dean 10 dine with
him. Asparagus was one of the vege-
tables. and the guest asked for a sec
ond helping
Sir" snapped Swift. pointing TO
i1aulkncr's plate. FIRST finish what you
have upon your piato."
What. sir? Eat the stalks?" asked
the astenished Publisher.
Aye. sir; cat the stalks, or You'll
have no more! King William always
ate his stalks added the dean in his
most imperious manner.
Whercupon the meek Faulkner,
yielding to the deans will, ate the
stalks most submissiyely. e..
shorty after the deans death.
Faulkner.was relating the ineidepi as
an illustration OF Ssift's insolence
And you were silly enough to
obey him?" asked some one. =
YES" replied Faulkner, "and let
me add. sir. that if you had dined
with Dean Swift. you would have eat
en- your stalks, too.

MYSTERIES or DEATH VALLEY
Fascination for Those Who Brave Its
Dangers--Legends OF Finds.

While gold seems to be the under
lying cause OF the great interest ta-
Ken In Death Valley. yet myster-
ions fascination takes possession OF
all who once brave its dangers
Numberless legends have been hand
ed down from generation to genera
tion OF strange happenings almost
beyond human explanation, yet at
the bottom OF all runs the streak Of
gold, for which men daily sell their
lives and oftentimes their very soh1s.
Old Indian trails and signs still
point the way from spring to spring
whether the water Is good or bad.
the distance from one TO the other,
the passable and impossible canons,
the location of old Indian villages,
etc IN order to read the signs cor
rectly, one must be familiar with
their ways and customs, and even
then it has become difficult on ac-
count OF changes that are constantly
taking place through natural and
human agencies.
The trails are Of different periods,
some being much later than oth"rs.
At intervals besides the trails are
monuments of stone. with pointed
rock showing the direction to take.
Two rocks pointing in opposite di-
rections indicate that 1t Is impassa-
Bile. The location of metal stones
are also significant. A metal stone Is
fiat stone, followed in the center,
used for grinding acorns for flour
and will be found not more than a
half days travel from water. Many
springs known to the Indians are not
down on the maps.
Endeavoring to find pass
through the mountains on a recent
trip, party followed the Indian
trail and signs and were led course
which passed three springs and some
old hreastworks which Indians had
used to hide behind when lying in
wait for mountain sheep. One of the
first gold excitements was back in
the fifties, when Breyfogle found fine
free gold, but was unable to return
to the exact spot He was afterward
hit with a stone hurled by an Indian
which is supposed to have injured
his brain.
Beatty has expressed the opinion
that the Breyfogle find was between
Willow Springs and the Original
Bullfrog. Charlie Nyman thinks 1t il
between keane Springs, Willow
Springs and Death Valley, while ono
of Breyfogles party described Hole
in-Roek. The wind breaks supposed
to have been used by Breyfogle are
located about eighteen miles south
of Rhyolite. Another legend Is OF an
Indian who went into Cerro Go"do
with n rock full of free gold, which
he sold for So The white men tried
to get him to tell where he found 1t,
but the Indian was wise and kept It's
location to himself. He was acct
dentally killed a short time after
while hunting sheep, and the secret
died with him. Some think this find
was the same as Breyfogle's
The valley itself is about all that
1t has been painted AT times n man
or beast would mire out of sight, and
and at other times the shifting sands
would almost bury him alive. Yet
men live there year after year with
out feeling that they are incurring
any unusual amount of danger They
know where they may and may not
go. and how to prepare for emer-
gencies. --phyolite Herald.

WHEAT \. HELD STEADY

Chicago, July WHEAT Deliv-
cries were heavy this morning as an

discounted as prices Immediately
after the opening started upward and
held fairly steady at two cent gain.

and based on unfavorable threshing
