HOARD IN A FLOATING LOG

A party of campers from Seattle
were hauling gigantic cedar log up
on the beach of Lake Washington to
be converted into firewood when what
to be a huge plug attracted
their attention. One ran for the axe
and the log was split into two pieces.
The plug acted as a door of safety
vault where some logger twenty years
ago had hidden his savings. There
were 5000 in gold, $68 in silver and
$500 in currency. The name, though,
dim, on the post Office money orders
appears to be Claude Parsons or Par
ker, and they are payable in the post
office at Eau Claire, Wis. The money
orders are dated April. 1891.
Efforts will be made to find the
rightful owner of the hoard. Many sto-
ries are told of the prodigality with
which loggers handled their money
in the halcyon days of logging. A
favorite bank was to put boom
augur hole in a big stump. Into this
hole was put the gold, silver and pa
per and a big plug driven into the
hole. The plug was then sawed oil
plumb with the bark and the wealth
left until wanted. Many of these inn
provised banks were swept away by
floods or destroyed in forest fires.

LIGHTNING CAME BY PHONE

While the sun was shining the other
day at Clinton, N. j., and there was no
indication of an electrical storm, a
bolt of lightning struck liberty pole
in front of hotel SCATTERING the shaft
and soaring team of mules so badly
that they ran two miles. The team
was tied to ring attached to the pole,
which was thirty feet high. After the
animals had been stopped it was found
that the bolt of lightning which had
shattered the pole had also melted the
iron shoes from each of the mules.
otherwise they were uninjured. The
source of the lightning bolt puzzled all
the local electrical experts and me-
iteorologists, but after investigation it
was found that telephone wire run
ming from Singac passed SO close to
the flag pole as to touch it. At the
time the pole was struck a fierce thun-
der storm was raging in the vicinity
of Singac, and the theory is that
lightning striking the telephone wire
: in the storm zone, Travelled over the
cable until it encountered the unin-
sulated liberty pole, where the full
force of the bolt was spent.

Is Oldest Horse in America

the United States Mr.. Van Dyke drove
the horse to Middletown, Del, dis
lance of some 25 miles, and. being
great admirer of Mr.. Tilden, Mr.. Van
Dyke then and there changed the
name of the animal to Samuel J. TIL
den, by which he has since been
known"
Mr.. Guest has made numerous eff
forts to discover an older horse in the
country than Tilden. He has written
to the owners of all the horse re-
views in the country, but up to the
present he has been unable to find a
horse in the country that is as old.
The nearest approach to it was a
horse owned by a gentleman in Penn
sylvania who claimed the honor OF
seniority A comparison of ages, how
ever, revealed the fact that the Penn
sylvania animal was several years
younger than Samuel j. Tilden.
Mr.. Guest says he will let the horse
spend the remainder of his days in
peace and quiet, enjoying the verdure
OF his pasture lot and the comfort of
good stable quarters.

SNAKE BINDS OWL TO TREE

Charles Allison of Nashville, Ind,
relates peculiar experience with a
snake and an owl. He was walking
along the creek carrying his gun,
when he noticed large owl sitting in
an old dead tree. He shot three times,
and says he knew he hit the bird each
time, as it would drop its wings when
he discharged the gun. On going
closer to the tree he found why the
owl did not fall. A large blacksnake
had wound around the bird, and had
it's head hanging down the tree. He
shot the snake, then the owl and rep
tile both fell into the water.

WHEN THE DEAD RETURN

THIS is story Of mistaken identity
of remarkable character. Mary McGon-
lyle was struck by a trolley car in
New York last April and died shortly
afterwards in hospital. On notifica-
ton from the coroner, her relatives
came to view the body and she was
identified by her son, her sister, her
brother and cousin; burial permit
was issued in the name of Mary Nc
GOnigle; an insurance company paid
SILT on the life of Mary McGonigle;
the traction company paid $3.50 for the
funeral of Mary McGonigle; the body
of Mary McGonigle now lies in Cal
vary cemetery.
Late one night recently Mary Nc
Gonigle in the flesh walked into her
sisters home.
To say there was surprise at her
visit would understate the emotions OF
the relatives. The sister screamed;
the brother dropped his new clay pipe
and a small niece tainted. Mrs. Nc
Gonigle herself was surprised but
placid; she had not read the newspa-
pers, and did not know that she was
supposed to be dead.
Then came explanations. Mary Nc
Gonigle had been buried all right, but
it was the wrong Mary. The living
woman is in private service and her
address fluctuates with her employ
.ment The dead woman who bears
such an extraordinary resemblance to
her was no relative, but had known
her, and had given her address to the
hospital The undertaken who buried
the late Mary, was summoned to view
the living Mary. Il never saw such
resemblance" he gasped, land I've

board. 1t was at first thought that
a murder had been committed. but
inquiry showed that the skeleton was
that Of Denner's wife, who died a
natural death ten years ago, and was
buried in the ordinary way.
The husband was inconsolable till
he secretly exhumed his wifes re-
mains, and hid the skeleton in the
bedroom The skeleton is to be re-
inferred in Denner's grave.
