Glitch Your Wagon to a STAR,

"As a man thinketh in his heart
30 is he." His opinion of himself will
be reproduced by the life processes
within him and outpictured in his
body, says Orison SWEET Marden in
Success Magazine. If you would make
the most Of yourself. never picture
yourself as anything different from
what you would actually have your.
self, from what you long to become.
Whenever you think of yourself, form
a mental image of a perfect, healthy,
beautiful, noble being, not lacking In
anything, the person you wish to be-
come. Positively refuse to see any.
thing about yourself which you would
not like to have true. Insist upon see
ing only the truth Of your being, the
man or woman God had in mind when
he made you, not the distorted thing,
the burlesque man or woman which
your ignorance and unfortunate en-
vironment, wrong thinking and vicious
living have produced. The estimate
you ave or yourself, the mage OF
yourself which you carry In your
mind, will mean infinitely more to you
than what other people may think OF
you.
If we would make the most of our
lives, If we would be and do all that
1t is possible for us to be and to do,
we must not only think well Of our
selves, but we must also be just to
ourselves physically, be good to our
bodies. In order to be the highest,
the most efficient type of nan or WON
an, 1t Is just as necessary to cultivate
the body, to develop its greatest pos
sible strength and beauty, as it is to
cultivate the mind, to raise it to its
highest power.

tuRH OF HIDDEN TREASURE.
Two Fruitless Trips Have Not Dis.
Outraged California Men.


Two Fruitless Trips Have Not Dis.
couraged California Men.
Major w. A. D~esborough, who has
made two trips to find a reputed buried
treasure on Cooos island, in the Pacific,
off the coast Of Central America, will
make another attempt within a few
weeks. and he hopes the third tims
win prove the charm.
His first trip was made twelve year,
ago. but mutiny in his crew compelled
him to give up the search, although
he proved the correctness of his draw
ings and maps at that time.
Last summer he made another trip,
sailing from Los Angeles in the yacht
Ramona. the Express of that city says,
but heavy and continuous rains and
the lack Of power to operate machin-
cry prevented him from making sufH-
Gent excavations. This time the local.
ity was considerably changed from
what 1t was twelve years ago.
Cocos island is famous as a pirates
retreat, and others besides Major Des-
borough have searched 1t for hiddep
plumber.
The particular treasure for which
Major D~esborough is searching Is sup.
posed to have been taken from Peru
In the middle Of the last century and
buried on the island by Capt. John
Heating, who died soon afterward.
Since his last trip. Major Desborough
has met a man in New Orleans who
visited the island ten years ago in
company with a son-in-law OF Captain
Heating. They had maps and draw.
ings which appeared correct, but indi.
Gated that considerable excavation
would be necessary. Keating's son-in-
law was an old man then, and he
turned over the maps to the New Or.
leans man, but the latter has never
tried to find the treasure. He gave COD.
les OF the maps and details to Major
Desborough.
Tradition says there Is $50, 900, 900
worth Of pirates loot buried on the
Island, but the particular treasure
sought by Desborough Is SIT, 900, 900
in gold bullion. He says that since his
visit twelve years ago there appears
to have been a great deal Of blasting

been only the change of formation due
to the rainfall, which sometimes
amounts to an inch an hour, making
work difficult.
Major D~esborough has had several
offers both from New York and on this
coast to finance another expedition,
which he estimates will cost about $40.
900, and he is now looking for 9

dnty bound to do, what Hamon told
him. His evidence as to lannon's
statements has been amply substar-
tiated BY the testimony of Others
who were approached by the enter
prising engineer of the So, Ooo, 900
land fee contract.
The investigation has shown dis
graceful condition existing with re-
gard to Indian affairs. The : wa.ds
of the nation have had such exper-
fence of the benevolent care of the
government that they willingly
signed contracts to give the Nc
Murray combination ten per cent of
the proceeds of the sales of their
land. As one chieftain, whose in
terest was $1,000, said: & would
rather have 81, 500 now than 1000
after ! am dead. :
1t is also revealed that a joker"
got into the Indian appropriation
bill. 1t was not discovered until it
reached the White House. 1t was
then too late to send the Hill hack
for correction and the president
signed it. Who puts .jjokers'' into
bills: The numerous 'jjokers'' in
the Payne-AIdrich tariff bill are an
ever present and unpleasant memory.
The purpose of the Indian appropria-
tons bill Joker was to permit
holders of land to get anothe. year
or two of occupation, pending legal
appeals to the supreme court and
their disposition by that body, which
time could be proftably used to strip
the lands of oil and minerals.
Whether or not men higher up
are besmirched as result of the
present inquiry, the Indians of Okla
homa and the nation at large owe
Senator Gore a debt of gratitude for
the exposure on the floor of the SEN
ate which has led to the turning of
the light of publicity on to our
Indian affairs.

THE INDIAN LANDS SCANDAL.

The congressional inquiry into the
Oklahoma Indian lands scandal has
progressed far enough to entirely
vindicate the propriety of Senator
Cores making the charges which
brought about the inquiry. &C.
casionally a newspaper Is found with
its moral sense sufficiently blunted
to rebuke the Oklahoma senator for
revealing Just what Hamon, Nation
Al Republican committeeman, said
TO him about men higher up"
being in the deal. One Of these
papers, the Philadelphia Inquirer,
thinks Mr.. Gore should have coasid-
cred the consequences Of his act
and refused to disclose the names of
the men mentioned. This is tanta-
mount to advocating the perpetra-
ton Of 4 fraud on the Investigating
committee, virtual court. Mr..
Gore made no charges against Vice
Presid ent Sherman or the other al
legged men higher up. He simply

SHORT shrift should, and undoubt-

attempted assassination of William
!. Gaynor. There should be none
of the laws delays in his case.
Happily, as this is written it appears
that Mayor Gaynor will live, which
saves his aSSailant from the merited
punishment of the electric chair
But prompt trial and the extreme
penalty Of the law for assault with
attempt to kill may be a wholesome
object lesson for other fanatics with
a mania for murder. The news Of the
shooting of the Mayor was received
with horror and indignation the
country over. No man in public
life has better merited the plaudits
of the people in recent years than
this modest, methodical, fearless re
former, who has given his undivided
attention to the administration of
the affairs Of his high office and con-
sistently ignored or discouraged all
plans of his admirers for still higher
honors. There will be well night
universal hope for the speedy recoy-
cry Of this man. The country has
no Gaynors it can afford to spare.
