This is what happened couple
of weeks ago in furious gale. The
waves washed far in over the upland
and carried away vast masses OF the
upper soil, leaving the shelving beach
a couple OF hundred feet wider than
it had ever been before. A fisherman
walking along the edge OF the strand
saw something glistening in the slope
and roofing it out of the ground
found it was an ancient silver cup.
He dug some more and found guam

and brooches. crucifixes and jewelled
chalices, jewelled sword handles and
table plate. Nobody knows just how
much the treasure amounted to, since
the fisherfolk hid it as fast as they
secured it, and when official inquiries
were made every one denied his own
share.
They are still digging, however,
and an occasional find is made. The
sea seems to have broken up the
cache and distributed its contents
over many acres Of beach. Objects

boards of the same sort have been
discovered. When This collection was

In the northwest of our great coun-
try there are so many different tribes
Of Indians that I cannot begin to tell
you their names, but they were Of
ten divided in this way. Those who
lived on reservations were called
Reservation Indians and those who
did not Outside Indians" Now
Moses was chief of a great many
tribes Of Outside Indians and he was
q very great chief. OF course, Mos
es was not his name, but Governor
Stevens gave it to him long ago and
every one called him so. indeed, he
seemed to have forgotten his Indian
name and called himself Moses. He
was a very handsome man, tall and
straight, and always we'll dressed.
He usually wore a buckskin coat and
trousers, and handsome beaded mo-
cassins, and a broad, light felt hat
with q thin veil encircling 1t. He
always had a leather belt around his
waist. in which he carried long
knife and pistol holster, the ivory
pistol knob in plain sight.
Now, Moses had led his Indians in
many battles. both against Indians
and white men, and everybody knew
that he was a brave warrior and
could night. Indeed. in 1858 one Of

placed on q treadmiIl; but while the
body Of the locomotive was upon rails,
the driving wheels rested upon large
steel wheels which were connected
with various kinds of measuring ap-

PimpIes, Rash, Eruptions, Etc,
Quickly Eradicated by New Skin
Remed

Since it's discovery one yea ago,
poslam, the new skin remedy, has. in
it's extraordinary accomplishments, ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expectations
of the eminent specialist who gave it
to the world. 1t has cured thousands
of cases of eczema and eradicated ia
Cial and other dislgurements of years
standing. The terrible itching attend
ing eczema is stopped with the first ap-
plication, giving proof OF its curative
properties at the very outset.
In less serious skin affections, such
as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads,
acne, BARRIERS itch, etc. results show
after an overnight application, only a
small quantity being required to effect
a cure. Those who use poslam for
these minor skin troubles can now
avail themselves of the special 50-cent
package, recently adopted to meet such
needs. Both the 50-cent package and
the regular 81 jar nay now be obtained
in Salt Lake City at the F. J.. Hill

Councilman Black recently introduced
an ordinance providing that garbage
cans should be covered. The measure
was ditched by the committee of which
Councilman O'Donnell is chairman, on
the ground that as Councilman Black

was to make work for his tinsmiths.
This moved an indignant lady to call

IL. To Men With Wives Who Sew

q There are certain things that men would
better leave alone-the wives know more
about them than you do.
q This is probably true of sewing machines,
and yet while you may cheerfully let your
wife make a small mistake, you would dis
like to see her spend many dollars for a
sewing machine that might be next to use
less within a year.
q Women seek bargains" even more than
do men, and the makers and sellers of
poorly constructed sewing machines use a
"cheap" price to tempt trade because they
dare not make a true statement of quality.
g Therefore, urge your wife at least to learn
about the Singer before she spends her
money for a machine which appears to be
a bargain because offered at a lower price.
g Singer reputation is backed by fifty years
experience; Singer sales exceed the sales
of all others combined.
