EGG REVEALS GOLD
HAS MAP SHOWING SPOT or
BURIED TREASURE ON SHELL.
Ezra Delivers One Dollar for Gypsy
Wares and Gets Wonderful se-
cret in Return for His
Money,

Tyson, Vt.-Ezra Burt, who lives
about a mile east Of the Corners. has
hen which no amount Of money will
buy. 1t is a scrawny, disappearing
fowl with bedraggled feathers and a
semi-bald head, and what is more it
has laid only one egg in its entire two
years existence. Still, old Betsy. as
the hen is called, has a niche m 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 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 It 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 on to
war without telling his family where
he had placed 1t, further than that It
was on the farm.
Last summer gypsy came along
selling beads and laces and offered to
go into trance and solve the treasure
riddle provided Ezra bought 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 egg in which would
be found a map. If this were followed
the treasure would be found Ezra
thought he was "stung," but he paid
the dollar.
Nothing more happened until a
month ago, when Betsy was found in
the wood box behind the kitchen
stove. Horrifled at the idea of having
a 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 a map with little star at
the base of an old maple tree in the
sugar orchard.
With a 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 it became common property. AL
efforts to get Ezra to tell how much
money he found in the kettle have
failed.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Twenty feet Of
silver wire coiled inside of the aorta-

heart-will probably save the life of
Richard Wheaton. a 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. G. 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 it 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 1t curved
round and round, forming a spiral
the size of the artery, and this trav-

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

when we made it right we liked 1t
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

Washington. Apr 2O.-From the
activity displayed by the opponents
and supporters of the income tax
proposition to ascertain the strength
of the other il would seem that this
question will furnish the sharpest
contest to be waged in the senate
during the tariff revision session of
congress.
In view of the fact that the demo-
Gratis are said to be unanimous for
the income tax measure. the leaders
of the insurgent republican faction
appear TO be confident OF victory.
On the other hand, the opponents
of the income tax idea assert that
the democrats are not united and de-
clare that some of the insurgent
strength for additional internal taxes
will be lost the moment that the SEN
ators are convinced that the pending
