Buried Near Fredericksburg.

In the first place. said Mr.. Evans
who is said TO be related 10 the
recently retired Read Admiral of the
navy. II am about the only man
left who was private in the Confederate
army. The money was buried near Fred
ericksburg while l was doing duty in
that vicinity
. Mr.. Evans related that the money Was
captured by the soldiers and buried on a
farm. 1t was supposed to have been sent
there from Washington to pay off tie
members of Hancock's corps.
1t was in 1874, he stated. that a letter
written about the episode told of the hid
ing place of the great amount of silver
and gold. In that letter, he said. the
writer made an effort to point out the
exact hiding place.
From then until now digging has been
going on. Those who did the digging.
however. misunderstood the letter and did
their eXcavating along the wrong branch.
In the directions given I'm the letter, Mr..
Evans stated, big stone and stump of
tree were given marks for the guild
ance of searchers. A spring was also
mentioned.
Some years after the letter was written.
he said, he visited the farm and pointed
ont that the search had not been con-
Quoted I'm the proper place.

EVANS KNOWS WHERE IT IS

EVANS KNOWS WHERE IT IS

Frank ID. Evans of 1858 2lst street
a Confederate veteran. received one ~
the familiar Spanish ..goldbrick' letters
one day last week. He hurried to police
headquarters TO tell Inspector Boardmsn
about il.
Il know there's an easy mark born
every minute" said the recipient OF III"
letter." but this business is so old A game
l shouldn't think anybody would bite
at it,
Mr.. Evans remained at police head
quarters long enough to tell an inter
esting story of buried treasure not more
than eighty miles from this city: a
story much more interesting than that
OF the money in the secret compartment
in the trunk of a man incarcerated in
a prison in the old world
He knew there was no truth in the
statements contained in the letter h"
had received from Madrid. He was posi-
tive about the whereabouts of the hid
den treasure in Virginia.
His information is that the buried treas
ure consists Of between $l60.OOO and
100000. The story ne told interested his
listeners.

Digging on Wrong Stream.

They had been digging all along the
bank of the wrong stream" Mr.. Evans
stated. By using a compass I was able 10
determine about the location of the
money. By following the directions as |
understood them. we succeeded in locat
ing he place where the spring had been.
We also found the stone and stump of All
old cedar tree.
There's no doubt about the money be-
ing there" declared Mr.. Evans. Some
day it will be found. .-.
THE place where the money was buried
is about eight miles from Fredericksburg.
Had the owner of the farm permitted a
general search il would have been un-
earthed long ago.
He will not agree to division of the
money. Nor does he seem disposed TO
cept proposal for the formation Of a
stock company TO make the search.
MY suggestion was that we form
company of ten men, contribute 500 each
and employ men to do the digging. What
is to be done about the offer l do not
know.
\ physician in this city is also deeply
Interested in the affair. said Mr.. Evans.
The physician expects to accompany MI.
Evans to Fredericksburg in March Or
April to endcavor to make some salts
factory arrangement for systematic
search. The formation of company of
ten men. he said, will certainly net each
man $4,000.
Mr.. Evans said he had engaged in q
search for the money. using long point
ed pole. He would run the pole as far
into the earth as he could and, when tile
po!nt would strike a hard substance, did
some digging. Each time he has found
the substance was a stone
He is satisfied that d successful search
will be made for the money this year
His horoscope has practically given MIN
the information.
Many Have Sought.
Many persons know the money was
buried there. declares Mr. Evans, and
are anxious to search for it. The money,
he says, was taken from government
wagon and carried in blankets TO the
place where it was buried 1t was one
of the misfortunes of war that those who
buried it were not afterward able to get
il.
Il am satisfied l know almost the ex-
act location OF the money now. he said,
land feel that it will be soon found
A great amount of digging has been
done in the woods on that farm. he says.
1t will take much more digging recent in
vestigations having practically settled the
location of the burying place.
There was a time when the digging IN
the woods was done under the cover OF
darkness, Mr.. Evans stated. Residents
of that section are now afraid to so
there after dark.
You see," he said, 1.-The story goes
that the wife of a relative of the owner
of the farm was passing through the
woods along the ravine where the money
was buried one night, and the child gave
a scream He mad seen a woman and
child seated upon the big stone mentioned
in the letter When the chiids mother
approached the stone the couple had VAN
iShed.
THAT alarmed people living there" he
continued, land you cannot pay them to
go there at night. If it were not that
they are afraid | am satisfied there would
be many midnight hunts made for the
money.

Elephant Ear

The elephant ear is one OF the
most striking plants for use in bed
ding. borders or for clump planting
on the lawn. 1t grows from six to
ten feet high and its large green
leaves grow to be three or four feet
long and two and one half feet wide.
It has been used W tn great sue
cess in sub-trop cal gardening In the
central and southern states. IT
makes an excellent plant for the
margins of aquatic gardens as II
thrives best if given plenty OF water
It grows from tubers which are best
started in pots in sand and grown
indoors until June when they should
be planted out in well drained, warm,
light soil. A rich soil and frequent
waterings with liquid manure will
produce excellent results. In the
fall all the leaves except the cen
trail ones should be cut back to
within two inches Of the crown. Let
it remain in this condition for
few days TO ripen and then take up
and store in any cold frost proof
place Those plants have a variety
Of uses besides ornament. In the
Pacific tropics they are made into
a drink. The starchy roots are ed
ible and in Japan are used much
like our potatoes. The young leaves
are also edible when boiled.

world is ever his own boss COM
pletely and it's a good thing for
many of us that we can't be. Some
of us if we could would be idlers,
loafers, tramps, putt off all re-
sponsibility, doing as we pleased
Such may be restrained by the ne
cessity of providing for others; We
can't idle or loaf; but l tell Jim
that you take the run of people, the
great majority who work and who
never think of doing anything but
work, and there is not one of them
but has somebody over him, OF a
boss in the shape of the restra nts
of laws and and customs.
mo man can do as he pleases
no man can get so high but what
he has something or somebody over
him or he has to conform to some
restraining power. This is SO all
the way up, clean to the top.
Il suppose Jim would think that
the president of the United States
is his own boss because he is the
the highest up man in the land;
but good heavens, he has 80,GO0,00
bosses scattered all over the Coun-
try, to say nothing about the few
thousands or few hundreds or few
score who are near enough to n m
SO that they can make him hear,
and who are continually hollering at
him to do this or that or the other
thing.
mo: no man can ever be his own
boss in the way Jim is thinking
about-free to do as he pleases. One
thing a man can do, if he has got
the stuff in him-he can bv eXar-
else of self-control boss himself;
and the man who can do this is a
big man; but I suppose the man
that comes nearest to being real
boss is the man that gives the best
service.
Maybe Jim will come to under
stand these things sometime"

by representative of the farmers and

stockyards should be constructed of
steel and concrete and paved with
brick or concrete, without wood being
used except for partitions, gates or
roofing This bill would also enact
that all yards must have perfect drain

the bill are the clauses allowing brick

H09V 1t Pays Women to
Dress Neatly.M Home

One OF the chief obligations of the
homemaker to members of the house
hold, and to herself, is setting the ex-
ample of pleasing appearance.
1t Is an accepted fact that the bust
ness woman must dress we'll and suit
ably as part of her effort to win
success in her vocation. While many
homemakers dress we'll and suitably,
there seems to be a sort of general do
nestle prerogative in the wearing of
untidy and shabby clothes.
Amy old thing will do to wear while
doing chores round the house" said
the mother Of three growing girls the
other day.
This mother carries out her precept
in the wearing OF unmended and
soiled wrappers and fraZzled-out after
noon gowns, down-at-the heel and
brok en-at-the-toe footgear, while busy
with kitchen and other home duties.
It goes without much saying that this
mothers slovenly appearance has
deteriorating influence upon her
daughters estimate of the necessity of
personal neatness while about the
house
This mothers example and the in
fuence it has upon her daughters de
generate the ideal of the homemaker
into a frowsy, bedraggled, unkempt
necessary to household
Another homemaker who isn't a
mother recently said
It's a matter of economy to wear
garments during their last stages of
holding together while doing house
work. This is a way of saving money
in the purchase of clothes and paying
laundry bills. 1t doesn't matter what
a woman wears at breakfast and lun-
,heon at home. What's home good
'or if a woman can't be comfortable
n it?'
This woman is fostering in her
brain a treacherOus belief that Stat
ernly dressing at home is an easy
way to cut down expenses, and at the
same time she is acquiring the PERM
,iOus habit of feeling comfortable
when shiftlessly dressed.

an excellent steady player who loses

BRIDGE A LEVELER.
Skill at the Game a Powerful So
ciaI Weapon.


London Letter to New York Sun.
- Bridge whist is proving the great
est leveler that English social life
has known. Houses which had al
ways been inaccessible to the aspir-
ant to social success who could not
give good account Of family and po-
ton are open now to the outsider
who can make a good fourth at the
bridge table. The Englishman has a
passion for games, as all the world
knows, and the nglishWoman shares
his interest Girls and boys are
often taught to play chess at very
whist in their infancy. Yet it is
safe to say that no game played
here has engrossed so many people
of varying station in life as bridge,
and no game has lasted as long in
its first vigor. Once more the car
toonist is busy with the card table
and it's followers, as he was in the
past when gaming was in it's hey
day in England. Once more from the
pulpit of fashionable city churches
preachers thunder forth denuncia-
tons of the sin of gambling and
once more society votes all enter
tainments dull where a game of
cards is not played.
Bridge clubs flourish; many are
mixed, and men and women mem
bers are fairly matched as to the
game Almanacks is the smartest of
these, and at six cents point con-
siderable money changes hands in
the course of an evening. A rival
to Almanacks has just been founded

GENIUS AND TOLL.

No great work of art is possible
without previous training in the art
of work. We speak vaguely of ''ge-
MUS" as explaining any achievement
in writing, but we only need to
know a little of the inner literary
history of any time Or country to
see what toll lies at the back of
what we call genius. Even those
forms of art which appear most
spontaneous, such as poetry and mu-
sic, are not struck off at a flash or
if any single piece of work seems
to be so struck off. that is made
possible by years of past training.
