EGG REVEALS COLO
HAS MAP SHOWING SPOT OF
BURIED TREASURE ON SHELL.
Ezra Delivers One Dollar for Gypsy
Wares and Gets Wonderful Sc
eret In Return for His
Money.

Tyson. Vt.-Ezra Burt, who lives
hen which no amount of money will
buy. 1t is scrawny. disappearing
fowl with bcdraEgIed feathers and n
semi-bald head, and what Is more 1t
has laid only one egg in its entire two
years existence. Still. old Betsy. as
the hen is called. has n niche IN Ez'
ra's heart. and gets the very best
grain the farm affords.
The secret OF all this is that the
one egg Betsy laid contained on Its
shell a raised water-line map OF the
spot where old jeremiah Burt, Ezra's
great grandfather. buried his gold at
the time OF the Revolutionary war, and
with the aid OF this map Ezra recov'
cred the treasure. Just how much this
was no one has been able TO find out.
but II is known that the mortgage on
the farm has been paid of and the
Burt family Is living In comfort.
The Burts gave up hunting for the
secreted wealth 40 years ago. after
they had searched and dug until they
were tired out. They knew that the
paternal Burt sunk his gold some
where in the earth. and went of to
war without telling his family where
he had placed II. further than that It
was on the farm.
Last summer n gypsy came along
selling beads and laces and offered to
20 into a trance and solve the treasure
riddle provided Ezra bought n dol
lars worth OF her wares. Burt took up
the offer and in her trance the woman
said that some day an old scrawny
hen would lay an 0gg in which would
be found map. II this were followed
the treasure would be found. Ezra
thought he was "stung." but he paid
the dollar.
Nothing more happened until
month ago. when Betsy was found in
the wood box behind the kitchen
stove. Horrified at the idea OF having
n hen in her kitchen. Mrs. Burt shooed
her out. and was surprised to find an
egg nesting In the shavings. The egg
had peculiar raised lines on the shell,
and Ezra was called. He remembered
the prophecy of the gypsy and care
fully studied the she'll Sure enough
there was map with a little star at
the base OF an old maple tree in the
sugar orchard.
With pick and shovel Burt set
forth. and an hour later returned
with a discolored copper soap kettle
heavy with gold. The family kept the
secret until the mortgage was paid,
when 1t became common property. All
efforts to get Ezra to tell how much
money he found in the kettle have
failed.

Meant the Other Way.

Rear Admiral Sperry. commander
in-chief of the fleet returned from its
triumphant sail around the world,
sometimes has serious spells of absent
mindedness. Several years ago he was
talking with group of fellow officers
at the Naval War college at Newport,
when one of them remarked that he
had been ordered for duty on the
Asiatic station.
Are you going to take your wife
with you?" Admiral Sperry inquired.
NO" the officer replied.
81 think you are making a serious
mistake" the admiral continued in
positive terms. 81 was out there in
1876 when an epidemic Of cholera
broke out, and hundreds Of people
died."-Sunday Magazine.

Burlington, n. J.-All hail Police
man Joseph Mccormick, The feats
of Horatius, who kept the bridge and
other heroes OF ancient history are
naught compared to the brave deed
he accomplished and, TO think of 1t,
single-handed, too.
What did Officer Mccormick do to
earn all this praise? Why, he tackled
the tramp problem single-handed and
now tramps tramping through Jersey
are heard singing Gee, But This Is
Lonesome Town" as they steer away
from the city OF Burlington.
The town has been worried by
tramps for the past few months. They
would apply to the lodging house con-

meal, a good bed and then, with

place next morning.
Many were caught "ringing"-that

and work the stunt all over again.
Then Mccormick took affairs in hand.
Seeing the matter required careful

The chief of police was aghast when
Mccormick made his request. as his
absence would deplete the force and
the other policemen in the town would
have double patrol duty to do, but
granted the request.
In few days he was back on the
Job, smile of satisfaction spread
over his countenance. The tramp
problem was solved
Tramps who applied for lodging
and supper were surprised at the kind
way in which they were received.
Never in all their tramp lives had
they been escorted to the supper table
with such grace.
Then came cot and then breakfast
in the morning.
Immediately after their morning re-
past they were conducted to the city's
dirtiest streets, given a broom and
told to sweep. One who rebelled was
Immediately given ten days in the city
jail. The rest decided that discretion
was the better part of valor.
The tale spread. Every tramp in
the state soon heard of the methods
Of Burlington. in treating the tramp
problem
Needless to say the town is free
from tramps for the first time in
many years.

OPERATES ON AoRTA; MAN LIVES
Los Angeles Surgeon Performs DELL
cate and Dangerous Task.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Twenty feet OF
silver wire coiled inside of the aorta-
the great artery leading from his
heart-will probably save the life OF
Richard Wheaton, retired British
soldier, now patient at the county
hospital. He is recovering from one
of the most delicate and dangerous
operations known to modern surgery.
DR.. d. C. Barber, superintendent of
the hospital, performed the operation.
The patient was suffering from an
aneurism. At one point in the aorta
the wall of the artery was so thin that
pressure of the blood had all but
blown 1t out. 1t was decided to in
terpose an artificial wall in front of
the wounded spot. The artery was
disclosed and hollow needle was
thrust into it. The fine silver wire
was passed through the hole in the
needle. 1t was so fine that when the
end came in contact with the opposite
wall of the artery it turned, and as
more wire was pushed in it curved
round and round, forming spiral
the size of the artery, and this tray-
eled along the tube, bridging the en-
larged space.

NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely to
old notions of things. New ideas often
lead to better health, success and hap
piness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea new
to them and stepped up several rounds
on the health ladder. The. husband
writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless,
nervous, sallow, weak and irritable.
My wife and I both loved coffee and
thought it was a bracer." (delusion.)
Finally, after years Of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made it right we liked it
and were relieved of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, steadier nerves, better
temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but relief increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
Many Of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on
pkg, until it was dark and rich, they
liked 1T better than coffee and were
benefited by the change" "There's

F. c. Hutchinson, Iof Ventura county, California, estap- lished one of the largest orchards near Deeville about year and half ago. and ae reports that numerous other California fruit growers are migrating into this part of Texas, that orange groves, lemon groves and vineyards are going on in every direction.
 Southwest Texas is 1,500 miles closer to the markets than California, says Mr. Hutchinson, and the fruit natures here two months earlier. The sandy loam with the red clay sub-soil. which is found in a number of localities. is ideally adapted to orange and lemon culture. It pro duces in greater quantities taan the California soil. One tree in our neighborhood this actual count pro duced 3,l50 branches, another one produced over 1000. So far our orch ards are young and most of our ship ments have been local, but in two or three years We will be competing on large scale with California and Flori da.
