TREASURE IN HIDING PLACES.
Cubans Secreted Cash in All Manner
of Odd Ways.

Although there are now excellent
savings banks in Cuba, for generations
the people have been accustomed to
secrete their own cash.. A traveller
tells of one hiding place in birds
house In a tree. The Cuban's resi-
dence had been looted a number OF
times during various revolutions, but,
the raiders had never suspected the
bird house in the tree. After the death
of the head of the family the valuables
were removed by the children and
placed in the Havana bank. In another
case the wall of a building was chosen.
A man with considerable patience hol-
lowed out one of the stones in this
wall. Five days were consumed in
chipping out the hollow. WKhin this
hollow the little casket containing
jewels and money was placed. Then
stone slab had to be cut to replace
the front without showing any break
This required two days more. The
piece Of stone was slipped into place
remove the stone front, tools were re-
quired each time But this hiding
place served for years and exists
now.
One man thought he had found a
most effective hiding place when he
put shelf up under the caves of his
house for holding the cash box. This
place was chosen partly because of
the existence of a small hornets nest
there. Robbers as rule will not take
much interest in searching a place in
the vicinity pf nest Of wasps or hor-
nets. But the home of the insects
grew and after few months the nest
expanded to the box and the owner
could not get the box without danger
OF being stung. He was obliged to
hire two bee experts to come with nets
| and ladders and remove the box. A
wasp stung through one mans NIT
just as he grasped the box, and the re-
ceptacle fell to the pavement below
and some small pearls were scattered
about the place. Several hours were
| consumed In finding the lost valuables.
The owner vowed that he would place
his valuables in a depository in Hava-
ma thereafter
Another odd place for hiding bag
Of cash was in followed table leg.
Cuba is noted for it's ponderous arti
cles of furniture There are table legs
with ample surface for following Sc
cret chamber. Usually a tfght-ftting
| door Is made and when this is closed
| the bag is well concealed. The hall
| light stands are not overlooked in
| some Of the homes of the Spaniards
and the Cubans. The natives of the
| country love to have plenty of hall
| light. These hall lights are often
| fixed to elaborate stands. One such
| stand proved to be very effective
hiding place for years, until one night
| the house burned down and the money
went with 1t.

BY THE LIGHT OF sPLlNTERs.
Religious Meeting Under Peculiar Cir.
cumstances a Great Success.

Elder ]. w. Cook, in his 'Forty-Fiv
Years Minister" relates this incl
dent: II remember one time up In
Clair county, Missouri, / arrived at
my appointment just at night. 1t was
raining, but the people turned out just
the same. The schoolhouse was of
logs, and inside 1t was dark as a dark
night could make 1t. A brother said:
Will someone please light the can
dle?' But there was, no candle to
light, no grease, no oil of any kind.
The little cabin was crowded and the
rain was pouring down. 1t was good
half mile to the nearest house where
candle might be procured. But re-
sourceful brother relieved the situa-
ton thus: We must have a meetin';
that's ,sartin. The boys travelled way
over here to preach for us, and he's
goin' to do it., Now We'll tear off some
planks from the platform and light
'em and take turn about holdin' EN-
so he can see his, Bible. got matches.
That meeting under the Pickering
splinter light was IAN astonishing sue.

BARN, ICE HOUSE
AND CONTENTS BURN

A,,about 2o'clock yesterday morning
the alarm Of fire was turned in " hen it
was discovered that e. G. Ketchum's
barn, ice house. chicken coop, sheds
and contents were on fire. The fire
started in the barn, but from what
cause is not known. When discovered
the entire hay loft with % tons of
hay was burning. 1t spread rapidly
and consumed the barn, ice house,
sheds, 60 chickens, three buggies. one
wagon, moving tools, farm machinery
etc. The loss to Mr.. Ketchum will
reach $4,000 and to the Grand Rapids
Ice Co. $1,000. 1t is thought perhaps
a tramp went into the barn to sleep,
or maybe it caught from the electric
wires. All the horses and cows were
in the pasture or they would have
been consumed. Insurance of 1920 or
buildings and $500 on contents.
The fire company responded and
extinguisbed the fire but not until
the above loss had taken place. The
house and other adjacant property
were saved.

Diamonds Burn Ike Coal.

The jeweler. at closing time, was
putting his diamonds in a, huge safe.
But why do you bother to do that
when two watchmen walk the shop
all night long?"
"On account Of fire." the jsweler re-
piled. Diamonds are nothing but coal
-carbon-they barn beautifully. Their
hardness makes us think them indie.
structible, but, as matter Of fact, a
fire of diamonds would be the briskest,
prettiest thing in the world. Put a
handful of diamonds on plate and set
a light to them. They will burn with
a hard, gemlike flame till nothing is
left. There will be no smoke, no SCOT
and at the end the plate will be as
clean as though just washed-not the
slightest particle even of ash will re-
main"
