TRIED TO ROB The MIsER
Fable That Explains Why the Lom.
hardy Poplar Holds its Branches
Close to Trunk.

Once there was a man who had
worked early and late in the hone of
getting rich. He never took a holt
day nor spent any money. for he
wanted to have pot full of gold for
his old age. Now. the more money he
got the more unhappy he became, for
ne was always afraid that some one
would rob him Of his treasure. He
hid 1t In his humble home. but he
worried lest 1t might be taken during
his absence. He buried It I'm tho
Ground, but even that did not set his
mind at rest. At last he hid 1t in the
thick branches Of very tall tree.
Even then the miser was afraid that
some one would take It, SO he decided
at last to carry the pot of gold back to
MS home. Just there was where the
trouble began. In his eagerness to
hide the treasure he had not made
himself quite sure as to which tree he
had used for his money bank.
He asked the spreading linden, the
tall sycamore and the honest oak. but
each tree denied knowing anything
about the gold. The lombardy poplar,
too, protested that 1t had not seen the
pot or shining money. Just then its
branches were drawn down close to
Its trunk. The tree trembled, for it did
not know what to make of such a
queer feeling. 1t fell faint, and forgot
the miser's treasure. That minute
the pot OF gold fell to the ground, and
the iombardy poplar was forever dis
graccd for the falsehood II had told.
To this day, If you will look. you will
find that all lombardy poplars hold
their branches close up 10 the trunks.
but Will never hide any more gold.

SUCCESS TURNS MANY HEADS
Average Man Assumes an Importance
to Which He Actually Is Not
Entitled.

III Is rather a remarkable illustra-
ZION or the weakness of our nature that
there should be 50 many persons
whose heads are completely turned by
attaining even the slightest degree OF
success. Instead Of realizing that the
achievement which won him fame Is n
thing OF the past, and therefore buried
In oblivion. except to those nearest to
him. the average man imbibes a good
~ portion OF self-satisfaction and
drinks to his own conceit. His one sue
cess looms very large upon his narrow
horizon, and the temporary adulation
OF tickle public magnifies it's proper
lions and appears to give him an i'm
portance not really his due. This self
Importance is apt to be reflected in all
his further efforts, If indeed II does
not forbid effort of any sort, and once
man becomes obsessed with an exag-
gerated idea of his attachments there
Is small chance of his ever duplicating
those attainments. It Is just here,
however, that so many persons make
the mistake of their ives by believing
that having once established a record
Tor themselves there is no need to
live up to 1t. II they could only forget
their successes. or hide them away in

BOTTLE FLoATED ACROSS SEA
Picked Up In the Azores Three Years
After Being Cast AdrIft on

Floating sluggishly at the mercy of
the waves for over three years a mint
bottle containing the address of win.
nam n. Windolph. this city. travelled
across the Atlantic ocean and was
nnally picked up on the eastern coast
OF the Azores about nve weeks ago.
The hayward travels of the little
bottle are most mysterious. It crossed
the Atlantic or at least reached the
other shore: whether currents or
winds took it miles in detour before
1t reached its destination is a subject
Of conjecture.
On January 81, 1907, Mr.. Windolph

card had been sent out on the sea a
strange letter came to him from the
hshing firm Of Manuel Vasconcelles &

the same card which he had sent out
unstained by the water, uuinjured aft

were ready to attack. The lioness,
however. escaped, and the male lion,
after appearing for a moment, bolted
into dried river bed and refused to
bulge.
'Simba," said Mr.. Kearton, "darted
into the donga, and within q few sec.
onds we heard a tremendous roar
which seemed to shake the ground,
and the bushes within IL yards of us
were violently agitatetd. The lion
roared again and again. and in the
brief intervals we heard the weak but
very furious yapping of the dog. The
Nasal stood, every nerve tingling,
with spears poised.
Suddenly the lion dashed through
little clearing, and we were amazed
TO see Simba hanging on with her
teeth embedded in its tail. Three
spears were hurled at the escaping
beast with such accuracy that they all
transfixed the heart and the lion fell
lead. You must know that the skin
of the lion belongs, according to local
custom, not to the warrior whose
spear infiicts fatal wound, but to
the man who first rushes IN and cuts
OFF the black tip from the tail.
1.-TWO of the three spearmen dashed
into the donga, but they found Simba
with the black tip still between her

any hostile claim. The spearmen. who
were lost in admiration, agreed that
