James Braiden, now visiting the
scenes of his childhood in Ohio,
reports the finding of six pots of
gold by a cousin, VIM. j. McClain,
Jr., IA contractor of Bellaire Mr..
McClain and two of his men found
the gold while excavating a founda-
tion for the Wheeling Stamping
Company. 1t was buried in the
cellar of what was once the resi-
deace of an eccentric doctor and
druggist who was murdered by his
nephew in 1883. 1t is said that
the Stamping Company will enter
suit against McClain in an effort to
secure the gold because it was
found on their property. Heirs
of the doctor may be found who
will put in claim for the treas ure,
which is valued at many thousands
of dollars, on the ground that their
deceased relative buried it in the
cellar. Mr.. McClain has engaged
attorneys to represent him and
will resist the demands of all per.
sons until it is legally determined
to whom the treasure belongs
1t would not be surprising if jim
Braiden climbed out of the train
here some morning with pot OF
gold as big as grandma's SOAP
kettle. Jim is just naturally lucky
enough.

BEAUTIFUL MEXICAN

Their Fine Eyes and Features

The beauty of Indian women is one
Of the charms of Mexico.
In the capital, where the INDIAN has

vice, 1t is less TO be remarked than in

But the beautiful faces one takes
In memory away from Mexico are those
Of India women, says the Indianapolis
Star. Fine eyes are universal and
what one hardly expects. fine features
according TO Caucasian standards;
broad brows, straight nose, well-form-
ed months and chins full but not gross
or heavy. The expression is. very
generally Intelligent. and often one is
struck both in Indian men and wo-
men. with the mobility and Refinement
OF the countenance.
One frequently sees types among
the poems that seem to belong TO some
hdghly civilized ancient caste an Egyp
tan priest of royal blood a Roman
centurion an Aztec emperor The
women are genaly lovely where they
are beautiful and the men at their
best in carnage in manners and in
countenanoe are srickiy ike the very
advanced product of civilization.
In the North the noble red men,
has chiefly been found in our poetry
and romance. AT their highest they
possessed only the savage virtues.
Here in mid-Mexico even after four
centuries of subsection the Indian is
plainly of bel ter make of higher ethnic
development, of infinitely greater pos
sibilities. 1t is far cry from the
Apache TO the Aztec.
