THINK GOLD is HID.
Wealthy Farmer Carries His Secret to
the Grave.

ki'C VI ave-
1t is believed by many that a large
amount of buried treasure will be
found on the farm of Marion Ogle. the
eccentric and wealthy farmer, who
died as result of runaway accident.
1t Is likely, however, that if any of the
treasure still is buried on the farm
near Medora, that it never will be
found, as the injured man never suf-
ficiently regained consciousness to al
low his being questioned as to the
whereabouts Of the supposed hidden
gold.
Ogle was a queer compound of
greed and unselfishness. 1t is said his
generosity knew no bounds toward
those to whom he took fancy, while
his personal habits were frugal in the
extreme. A few days before the acct
dent. it is known, he brought in S10,-
900. which he had hidden about the
farm and deposited it in an Indianola
bank. Whether this included all of
the money he had been boarding is
not known, but the popular belief is
that there is more gold in hiding.
Conservative estimates place the to-
tai amount of the dead mans fortune
at from $4,000 to $4,000, consisting
mostly of real estate in Warren coun-
ty and some farms in Colorado. In ad.
dition, he was a heavy holder OF the
stock of the bank at New Virginia, la.
The deceased was unmarried, and is
survived by two brothers and three
sisters

GRAY Horses In Maine,

After disquisition on the value Of
gray horses, as compared with horses
of other colors, the Parkhurst writer
sagely notes: you may change a
farmers religion or politics, make him
think he is rich and handsome, coax
his wife to run away with you, or
sell him dog, but you will never
make him think gray horse is not a
jewel. / read somewhere recently
that gray horses were not up to the
standard, or words to that effect. 1
never was SO astonished in my life.
have always thought, and do now,
that gray or white horses were the
handsomest, toughest breeds on the
planet.
1.-The celebrated Arabian horses are
white or dapple gray. Famous gen.
erals in all wars have ridden white
or iron gray chargers. Circus men
select gray horses to draw the band
wagons in street parades. A great
packing company always selects Per-
cheron horses. not SO much for the
color, but because their feet will
stand travelling on the pavements bet
ter than any draft breed. It is said
that Joan of Arc rode milk white
horse. and st. John, the revelator,
saw white horse in heaven Grew. 6:
~. Half of the draft horses in
Aroostook are white or gray, and an
other decade will see 80 per cent. of
them of that color."-Lewiston (Me

The Limit Of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to be
between SO and 60; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot be
too strongly urged; carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Nature s
best helper after so is Electric Bitters,

Eve never repent of eating too little, .
was one OF the ten rules of life Of
Thomas Jefferson, president of the
United States, and the rule applies to
everyone without exception during this
hot weather, because it is hard for
food, even in small quantities, to be
digested when the blood is at high
temperature. At this season we should
eat sparingly and properly. We should
also help the stomach as much as pos
sible by the use of little Kodol For
Indigestion and Dyspepsia, which will
rest the stomach by digesting the food
itself. Sold by Edward 7. Lomas.

GIRLS MEET IN THE RING
Alleged to Have Fought a Four
Round Battle.

Miss Lulu Crawford, we'll known
music teacher of Davenport, and Miss
Opal Adair, stenographer, are said
to have fought a four-round battle in
the presence of number of promi-
nent men and their women friends.
The two young women had been at
"outs" for long time and decided to
settle their grudge by Marquis of
Queensbury rules. Both are of ath-
letic build and have devoted much
time to physical culture and gymnas-
tics.
Efforts were made by the friends of
the girls Just before they entered the
ring to have them abandon the fight,
but both refused to do so, insisting
that the affair had gone too far to be
settled in any other way.
The mill was fought near the city
limits in a 24-foot ring, an old clothes
line being used for roping in the
| arena. 1t was to have gone the limit,
but police interference was feared. as
farmer was seen approaching. The
referee, a we'll known man about town,
called the fight draw and declared
all bets off,
His decision caused considerable
dissatisfaction among the hackers of
the stenographer, as she drew first
blood and scored a clean knock down
In the third round, forcing Miss Craw-
ford to take the count of eight before
getting to her feet. The music teach.
ers adherents, however, claimed that
she was repeatedly fouled and that the
tactics of her opponent in the ring
were decidedly unfair. In proof of
their claim, they pointed to the fact
that when the two girls were carried
to their corners Miss Adair had a
handful of the others hair.
The trouble is said to have started
over a young man.

them, with that striking face still be-
fore him and those desperate eyes
waiting upon his as they had waited
here while he was delivering his mealy
mouthed address and looking at him
MS they had looked for one moment
when he was done. A white stare Of
llncredulity, a fash of reproach, another
of contempt, and back turned dis
painfully with shrug. That was all,
but it had burned the magistrate at
the time. 1t would burn him in the
retrospect ever after.
To stop counting he put his thumbs
In his ears, always with an eye on
the door, SO that none should surprise
him In that position, but Comb those
lashes" came to them still, and then
he began listening for another voice
and n different cry. He listened for
these In positive terror, with the per-
spiration dripping from his nose and
his ears moaning like the sea beneath
both thumbs. However. no voice reach
| ed them but that of the savage old doc
tor. crying not about the lashes up to
the end. Then came a pause. Mr..
Strachan made sure 1t was a pause,
dried his face. put his thumbs In his
armholes and tilted back his chair.

posed when DR.. Sullivan strobe into
The room with deeply dissatisfied air.
"Well:' drawled Mr. Strachan.

reason why!" And he ground what
teeth he had and wiped his wrinkled
forehead with the red silk handker-
chief.
Bravo cried Mr.. Strachan.
Dr. Sullivan looked up sharply, but
took this expression of enthusiasm to
himself, as tribute to that lndomita-
bic and ferocious Will which was his
pride.
"You know me, Strachan," said he.
What say mean, and ii you'd back
