FATHERS JAR OF GOLD COINS

The finding of nearly $4,000 in shi-
ming gold coins. hidden away in a hole
in the cellar floor of their dead ia
theirs home south of this city, came
as pleasant surprise to the children
OF ID. b. Disbro. who died a few weeks
ago, Union City (Mich.) dispatch to
the New York Herald says. The dis
closure came about in this way:
They. with the members of their
own families-for they are all men
and women grown-were invited to
eat dinner at the old Disbro home
stead by their stepmother. who has
been such for nearly a quarter OF a
century. After a bountiful meal the
elder Mrs. Disbro invited the guests
to accompany her to the cellar. Then,
in their presence. she raised a small
stone from the floor and took from a
hole beneath a glass jar. in which
could be seen many gold coins. Pour
ing them out into her lap, she d.
vided the precious store into nine
equal parts and presented each of the
children a share. for there are just
nine of the children in the Disbro fam
lily.
Explanations followed and II was
found that when the first Mrs. DisDro

died 25 years ago Mr.. Disbro found in
her pocketbook several hundred dol
lars in gold coin. with the written re-
quest to Mr.. Disbro that he add to the
store as he felt able and some day
present the whole to their children.
He faithfully followed the request,
with the result that there was more
than $4,000 when he died.
He confided the secret to his second
wife and after his death she carried
out his wishes and divided the money
among his children. AS she had been
amply provided for I'm Mr.. Disbro's
will she refused any portion OF tho
hoard. but the children insisted upon
her accepting a few OF the coins as a
token of their esteem.
