TREASURE IN HIDING PLACES.
cubans seereted Cash in Al 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 Cubans resi-
dence had been looted 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 yaluables
we're removed BY the children and
placed in the Havana bank In another
case the wall Of 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 Within this
hollow the little casket containing
jewels and money was placed Then
a 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
and sealed with cement. In order to
remove the stone front, tools were re.
quired each time. But this hiding
place served for years and exists
now
One man thought ne had found
most effective hiding place when he
put q Shelf Up under the caves of his
house for holding the cash box. This
place was chosen partly because Of
the existence of small hornets nest
there. Robbers as a rule Will not take
much interest in searching a place in
the vicinity Of a nest OF wasps or hor.
nets, But the home Of the insects
grew and after few months the nest
expanded - 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 man's nit
Just as he grasped the box, and the re,
eeptacle fell to the pavement below
and some small pearls were scattered
about the place. Several hours We're
consumed in finding the lost valuables.
The owner vowed that he would place
his valpables in a depository in Hava-
ma thereafter.
Another odd place for hiding a bag
OF cash WIS in followed table leg.
Cuba is noted for its pondarous arti.
, oles Of furniture, There are table legs
with ample surface for he wing a Sc
cret chamber Usually a tight.ftting
door is made and when this is closed
the bag is wen concealed. The ham
light stands are not overlooked in
some of the homes. of the Spaniards
and the Cubans t'he 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 it.

The other day George Ranney and
George Brann OF Passadumkeag were
saving into stovewood large elm
tree that stood near the old hotel,
when their saw enccuntered some
thing hard In the cut. They kept saw
ipNs wood, however until they had the
stick eSqt on and then investigated
and foueA'ST clay pipe imbsdded in the
very center of the tree. The pipe was
IA A peries state of preservation and
Med vitlF tobacco, the same as when
il was ieH there. Explanations were
rite as 10 the presence of the pipe in
the seTter Of the tree, but the most
plausible one was given by one of the
old residents. He said that some 40
years ago some devil driver got after
yoke of oxen in that town and ran
over this tree, and, 1t being small at
that time, bent it TO the ground, About
this time he thinks that some one
used the bent tree for pipe rack and
then forgot to remove the pipe, and
the tree after many years grew around
the pipe until 1t was in the very center
Of the tree.

SORES AZ pusLlc GATHERINGS.
Protest Against Prosy utterers Of
Dreary Commonplace.

Those who impute TO us national
lack OF patience and politeness must
admit that there are occasions upon
which we deserve a long mark for self
restraint and kindly consideration Of
the feelings Of our tolmentors I'm
doubtedly altruism is one Of the inest
jewels In The moral crown, but 1t has
It's limits, and at the close of a sea
son that has abounded In lectures and
debates II seems a fitting time TO pro
test against their being stretched be-
yond the point of human endurance by
downright bores in the shape Of chair
men and speakers, who vooaAy amble
on and on while their audiences how
ever they may chafe inwardly at the
waste OF time and mental irritation,
begotten OF a dreary rehearsing Of
commonplace, sit as patiently as
dumb puppets.
In private their victims discuss the
advisability Of a stiff civil service
course for chairmen who apparently
are of the firm conviction that they
are expected to make the longest ad-
dresses of the occasion over which
they preside, and certainly they as
well as other speakers frequently
stand in need OF training in the direc-
ton of much thought and few words.
