He maLk this expression in the presence of Governor Donaghey with whom he was discussing matters of state at the time.
 Tt seems as though there are great many people about the state house who are dissatisfied with my actions as governor, said Governor Donaghey, mo matter what l do l cannot understand what 1 have done to them to make them rustic so hard to find candidate to oppose me, but If they would come to me. 1 wou.G probably do something to assist them. They cannot oppose me on my record for everything I have done has been for the very best interest of the state.

SEARCH FOR TREASURES.

Fort Smith July 22-After sey- eral years of inactivity on the part of seekers for buried treas ure, said to be in the vicinity of tort Smith, the lure of god has again proved too great an at traction to be res sted, as evil dences have recently been discov- cred of treasure hunters being at work. A number of eXcavat tions around the national cemetery, where large quantities of gold are said to have been buried many years ago. The work was done at night as has always been the custom,
 Many stories are told by old residents here of the adventures, of parties seeking wealth during the palmy days of the buried. treasure craze. 1t is said that one of the pioneer citizens gave up his Business, deserted his fam fly and spent the last three years of his life digging for the hiddan gold which he never found.
 During the war and for some time after there seems to be lit- tie question, but what large sums of gold were hidden away in the earth for safe keeping. Thousands of dollars were placed out of sight and danger in this manner but in all probability have been back in circulation for many years.

Wear Fine Boots. There is great satisfaction in the possession of a pair of perfect fitting boots. A woman who wears Burt's, Dorothy Dodd or the Rochester made shoes has full control of her feet and consequently has a more graceful carriage than one who's shoes are not exactly suited to her feet. It has been a study for about fifty years with the manufacturers of the Edwin c.

Despite the great popularity of the
 Edison PhoDograh in its present form. and the Edison records, the result of a series of experiments made by Mir Edison and his associates in his lab oratory at Orange, adds to what we now have to offer music lovers the fol lowing very interesting improvements: A new record made of a new compO- sition, by new process and playing an average of more than four minutes. This will be known as the Edison Am berol record. Its most important feat ure is recording thread of 200 lines to the inch, or twice as fine as the pres ent record of 100 threads. By this means more than twice the playing length is secured without increasing the length or diameter of the record itself. Since the finer thread required smaller reproducing point it became necessary to find a new composition that would successfully resist the wear of the samller reproducer.
