Destroy the Weeds

This is the time OF the year when
most weeds have reached their full
growth in height and are now setting
about their chief business of pro-
ducing seed for next years weed crop
Ditch banks. road sides, fence fows,
and neglected corners are now in too
many cases perfect jungle OF rag
weeds, sunflowers, giant marsh eld-
ers and other members of the weed
tribe. II left for week or ten days
too long, they will have ripened a
full crop of seeds and scattered
large part on the ground.
+ Ditch banks are especially favorite
places for weeds, and II neglected
now they will soon have sown their
seeds in the most favorable places to
have them carried to every part of
the irrigated fields later on.
This is the critical time, therefore
to. Now the weeds now; let them
lie until dry enough to burn; then fire
them when there is no danger from
the fire.
If left until spring. as is commonly
the case. but few of the seeds are de-
stroyed by burning the old weeds, as
they have been scattered long before
and are often protected from the
flames by layer OF soil.

Find Treasure Trove.

A great find of treasure has been
made at Alcazaba. in Spain. Several
centuries ago a castle was built to
defend the town against the Moorish
invaders. It was built on the top of
a hill and recent earth excavations in
those parts have caused the old castle
to collapse. and have also destroyed
several neighboring ediflces. Last
month the tower fell, some of the fall
ing stones killed two of the occupants
and injured seven others Thereupon
the authorities decided to demolish
the castle. and during excavations In
the deep dungeons a number of skele-
tons. evidently prisoners who had died
In Jail. were brought to light. Two
iron chests were also unearthed, and
when opened they were found to be
full Of old Spanish and Portuguese
gold and silver coins. At the bottom
Of the chests were a number of gold
and silver bars. The whole Is esti-
mated to be worth owed $15O,000. Half
of this treasure trove will go to the
government, and the other half to the
workmen who discovered It,

How Head Of the Savannah Branch
Forced Stranger to Carry Away
$4,000 In Silver and
Checked Plot.

The most famous president OF the
Jackson forced out OF business, was
Nicholas Biddle of Philadelphia, who
after being director Of the bank for
a matter Of four years. became Its
president in 1923 and remained in that
post until the bank went out Of busi-
ness in 1886.
Nick" Biddle. as he was known to
his associates both in finance and 80
c1ety-he was member of Philadel-
phia's exclusive set-kept a firm grip
upon the affairs of all the branches Of
the United States bank from his desk
in the banks headquarters In Phila-
delphia. He was very careful to get
reports from the branches regularly
and as speedily as the mail facilities
Of the time could deliver them to
him, and he studied these reports with
minute care.
One day he noticed that a report
from the Savannah branch did not
show the average redemption Of bank
notes. and each subsequent report
showed constant failing OIL In re-
3emptions. SO that Mr.. Biddle became
very much disturbed. At last he said
to himself: There's going to be trou-
Bile OF some kind at that branch.
Somebody is collecting Savannah
branch bank notes and they may Of
fer them all Of sudden for redemp-
ton. But will see to that" There
upon he caused large amount of sill
yer money to be collected and shipped
to Savannah. Then he waited.
A few weeks after the silver had
reached the Savannah branch a
stranger called at it and stated that
he had some bank notes which be
would like to have redeemed at once
In silver. He was asked what was
the value Of the notes. Two hundred
thousand dollars" he replied.
Very WE'LL" said the official of the
bank. who was acting under instruc-
lions from President Biddle, bring
your bills here SO that we can count
them" Whereupon, the stranger pro-
tested at the delay. what" exclaimed
the bank ofacial. You surely do not
think we are going to redeem notes
until we have counted them and seen
that the amount you give us is right?"
So the stranger went away. returning
speedily with hand barrow filed
with notes, and all the rest OF the day
the bank force was occupied in count
ing them.
That task over at last. the manager
OF the branch turned to the stranger.
The amount you stated is correct.
SIR" and your silver is ready. Can
We help you in sending It anywhere? ?"
You've got the silver here? gasp
ed the stranger. You're going to pay
me In silver on the spot?"

Mark Twain and Warner Wrote II to
Show Their Joking Wives Just
What They Could Do When
They Tried.

The late Stephen A. Hubbard, who
was for many years the managing
editor and one of the owners of the
Hartford Comm Courant when Jo-
seph r. Hawley was editor and
Charles Dudley Warner, the author
and humorist, co-editor, told me this,
the real story of the manner In which
Mark Twain and Mr.. Warner came to
write THE Gilded Age" which was
published in 1873. J
After Mark Twain came to Hart
ford to live" said Mr.. Hubbard, "he
early made the acquaintance of Mr..
Warner, being especially attracted to
him because of the success Of the de-
liciously humorous book. ny Summer
in Garden which gained Mr.. War
ner national fame. and which was the
first Of his separate writings. The
acquaintance ripened into intimacy,
and the families Of the two men were
frequently together.
1T happened that one evening,
when the Twains had the Warmers at
family dinner, something was said
about the success OF Tnnocents
Abroad Thereupon both Mrs. Glenn
ems and Mrs. Warner began to twit
Mark Twain: they made all manner
Of good-natured fun of his book, called
It an accidental hit, and finally ended
up by defying him to write another
work like 1t.
I'm high hSmor Mark Twain turned
to Mr.. Warner. You and l will show
these ladies that their laughter Is un-
seemly and "a cracking of thorns un-
der pot, he cdied. Well get to-
gether and write story, chapter by
chapter every morning, and wo will
so interweave our work that these
wives Of ours will not be able to say
which has been written by Mark
Twain and which by Charles d. War
ner; for once week we will gather in
my library and read the story to them
as 1t has progressed under our pens

How "Gilded Age" Was Done

agreeing to meet Mark Twain every
morning for an hour or two SO that
together they could write a new story
somewhat on the lines of Tnnocents
Abroad After they had been at work
on their little joke for little while
they became thoroughly interested in
1t, and then, when Mark Twain pro-
posed to introduce the character of
Colonel Sellers in the story, both he
and Mr.. Warner grew actually en-
thusiastic over it, and their wives con-
fessed their deep interest in It as it
was read to them as the writing pro-
crossed
$50 the jest was carried on until
the story was about half finished, If
remember correctly, when it sudden
ly occurred to Mark Twain that it
might be worth publishing; II 1t in
terested the wives of the authors, it
ought to interest the public. There
fore, Twain approached his publish
ers and told them that he and Mr..
Warner were jointly writing a book,
and he wondered whether he could
make arrangements with them to pub
lish it. They jumped at the PROPOSE
ton. The book was published under
the title Of The Gilded Age 1t sold
beyond all expectation for while, and
then, suddenly, the sales stopped. It
is the one dead failure among Mark
Twain's works. Yet a sufficiently
large number Of copies were sold by
subscription to repay the cost of man.
ufacture and return some profit to the
joint authors and the publishers.
Later. however" continued Mr..
Hubbard, Mark Twain made a tidy
sum out Of the dramatic rights of the
book. About the time that the book
was to be published he suggested to
Mr.. Warner that he would buy what
ever dramatic rights that Warner
might have In the, work. The idea ap-
pealed to Mr.. Warner, and have al
ways understood that Mark Twain
paid him $4,000 or whereabouts for his
share Of the dramatic rights and with
that money Mr.. Warner was able to
make a long winter tour through
Egypt. AS for Mark Twain, he made
thousands in royalties out Of the play
based on his utterly dead book"

How Col. George Bliss Was Mistaken
for Edward by the Enthusiastic
People Of Poughkeep-
o sic, N. Y.

This story Of the late King Edward.
when. as the prince Of Wales, he
travelled in this country. was told to
me several years ago by the late Col.
George Bliss, who at one time was
United States district attorney for
the southern district Of New York,
and whose "Bliss's Digest" Is one of
the standard legal works throughout
the United States.
AT the time that the prince was
here l was serving upon the military
staff of Governor E. D. Morgan of
New York." said Colonel Bliss, "and
was detailed to represent the COVER
nor in certain ceremonies, and partic-
ularly upon the occasion of the trip
of the prince Of Wales up the Hudson
river to West Point and Albany.
Il remember wildly how interest
ed the prince was in the scenery that
stretched before him on both sides
OF the noble river, and l have only
to shut my eyes to see in fancy the

the salutes and cheers which came

ters; you must remember that the At.
lantic cable. though laid, was not
working at the time. So, taking the
heavy mail with him. the prince went
into the pilot house and soon was
deeply immersed in his letters. He
was still reading when we arrived at
Poughkeepsie, where 1t seemed as
though the entire city and all the PEG.
pie for miles around about had turned
out to greet him.
Hastily. word was carried to the
prince that an enormous crowd, COW
ering the steamboat dock and stretch
ing away back to the foot of the hill,
was anxious to give him the tribute of
their good wishes. But, as luck would
have 1t, no was in the midst of peru
sing an especially important letter and
was not willing to be disturbed.
Therefore. stepped to the railing of
the boat upon the upper deck, to give
some intimation to the crowd that the
prince was in retirement, when. of a
sudden, l discovered that the people
below me had taken me for our dis
tinguished guest They set up great
cheering, hats were thrown in the air,
women clapped their hands and waved
their handkerchiefs-ever eye was
fastened upon me.
What could l do? could not tell
them that I was not the Prince OF
Wales, but only member of the gov
ernor's staff; could not have made
myself heard three feet away in all
that welcoming uproar. So. almost In

tary salute. The people went wild,
and as stood there receiving all that
misdirected homage, certainly had
feeling of what 1t is like to be
king in reality.
For perhaps minute l received
the enthusiastic greeting of a city;
then the boat started and all Pough-
keepsie returned home, satisfied that
It had seen the prince. In fact, years
later heard residents of that town
telling with not little pride how
they had been bowed to and saluted
by the prince. They never knew of
the mistake.
But as soon as the prince had fin
ished with his mail and returned to
the deck, l related to him how I had
been mistaken for him. And the
story amused him greatly-not in the
sense that 1t was an absurdity that I
should be taken for him, which II
was. nevertheless, but because he
seemed to see In his minds eye a
vivid picture Of that great throng hail.
