PEASANT FINDS A QUEEN.
Covered With Jewels, Her Body lay
Buried Near Ancient GAIA
In Palestine.

The chance discovery near ancient
GAIA, in Palestine, of tomb contain
ing the embalmed body of woman
gearing a crown and rich ornaments
is like an Arabian Nights tale.
The discovery was made by a man
named Musa-eLBurtu while digging ON
his hnd, and this is a translation of
the account OF 1t sent from Jerusalem
by Prof Macalister TO the Palestine
exploration fund:
When Musa went to his land and
was working and digging in it he
found little door. He entered by 1t
into cave divided into two chambers,
and entering through the second door
he found a coffin of hardwood
And he opened it, and in the coffin
was another of crystal And he broke
this and inside 1t he found one of the
old queens em5almed and on her
head a crown adorned with precious
stones and on her neck a necklace of
pearls and three chains beside on her
breast, and above her head was
candlestiCk OF gold and another at her
loot"
Another account from Mr. Knese-
yich of GAIA says that the sarcop-
hagus was of pure white marble and
was strongly protected by sort OF
vault of huge stones built over II. The
lid of sarcophagus was artisticaIly
carved in the exact form of the mum
my which was in excellent preserva-
ton.
The hair was loose and the head
bound with filet the form of which
suggested that the mummy was Ro-
man, but the shoes were Egyptian No
inscription was on the sarcophagus.
but book is said to have been found
In it.--New York Sun.

play of expression which nothing in the animal
world can equal
1t is all very we'll to talk of the wonderful
mobility of the human countenance, sensitive to
every change in the emotions of the soul; it is
nothing to the turkey cocks. See him elongate
his nose till it comes down to his chest, and OBJ
serve the number of double chins he can pro-
duce to add to his Importance If he wishes to
impose on a presumptuous rooster or to impress
fair young turkey pullet.

But it is not only in the display of his charms
that the turkey proclams his advantage over the
world of our feathered dependents; his stentorian

The said gobbling by the way has given rise
to the only bit of folklore about the turkey that
I know of. Being American, he is too modern
to have legends associated with him as rule;
but Indian Mohammedans profess to hear IN the
brief creed as spoken in Arabic Hence, when
turkey has to be killed in India the native takes
a cruel pleasure in executing 1t by cutting out
its impious tongue and so widely spread Is the
belief, that a little native boy, retainer OF an

This sentiment aroused the great

Roosevelt was right when he de-

Gov. Hadley. The governors speech

This should be done for the protection

ture or the roasting
which is an important part of the fes-
tivities of the day
The fact is, of course, that turkeys
don't come from Turkey, and were un-
known before the discovery OF Amer
lea, in the north of which continent
the wild turkey still roams in unre-
strained freedom, though not, alas, in
undiminished numbers.
When the enterprising Spaniards
began to explore the resources of the
new world that Columbus had opened
out for them, they found that the ma
tives had tanned big bird, which they
regarded as sort of peacock; and it
was not long after the discovery of
America that the new bird made his
appearance in European poultry yards.
Great must have been the disgust
OF the original occupants of these
when the invader appeared. For one
thing he was much bigger than any
of them, and could look down on
them In the most literal sense. He
was also fully aware OF the Importance
of his expensive personality and lost
no time in impressing 1t on all and
sundry. The peacock, who had
reigned supreme both as an artist In
posing and as a table delicacy-the
Romans used to talk of having ham

FALLEN NAMED PRESIDENT OF
 POLICE BOARD
Commissioner Kershaw, Voting for Hal' len, Gives Complimentary Expression to His Reasons For Doing So.

The election of Attorney Edward F. Halien, one of the recently appointed police commissioners, to the presi- dency <of the board, was the only busi- ness done at the first formal meeting of the new police board. Mayor Buckingham opened the meeting, and told the commissioners he expected of them an efficient and business like administration, and in brief speech of acceptance, President Hallen raledged himself to live up to the may0sasp zsqniEements: and expressed might administer the affairs of the department as we'll as the retiring board had The election of MT. Hall len to the presidency took but mo- ment Of the four ballots cast, three were for him. and one was blank. The latter was said to have been cast by Commissioner Hurley, who believ- ed himself entitled to the presidency.
 Before the meeting was formally called to order, c. D. s. Miller, the new Republican commissioner, was presented with a floral piece depict ing a policeman's club. 1t was ac- companied by five Lincoln pennies and a long letter from his fellows in the A. T. & S. Co.'S Hancock avenue plant. The letter was in lighter veen, and it served to break the ice for the first meeting very satisfactorily.
 
 ing, Commissioner Kershaw had this to say of his voting for Attorney Hal- len in preference to Major Hurley, for the presidency: ''Well, you see Mfr. HRllen was the mayors appointee. I suppose he is in sympathy and un- derstands the wishes of the mayor as to the conduct of the department during the coming administration You know, you can't ignore the fact that Buckingham was elected by a large popular vote. That means 1 suppose that the people are willing to have MT. Buckingham have the management of the affairs of the city for the coming two years. AS I said. l suppose that MT. Hallen is in sym pathy with the mayor. Besides that Mir Halien is a lawyer; he has an office in the center of the city, and that makes him easy of access with anyone having dealings with the board. Besides admire MT. Hallen very much. He possesses some gifts as a speaker that in the event of his representing the board in any matter he can do it with credit to the de- partment That's why"

COTTON BROKERS BITE OFF TOO
 MUCH THIS TIME
Especial from United Press.)

New York. Jan. 6.-Cotton brokers are beginning to believe that the pool which was organized to have the cot ton market completely cornered, have .'bitten off more than it's members can chew" and the general opinion in the exchange today is that the movement toward levels can hardly be checked. When the market open ed today there was a flood of buying orders and the entire list slumped off from 14 to 22 points. There was very little support in evidence. even at the lower levels.
 A number of reasons7 for the drop are assigned, one being That the shut ting down of the mills Because of the high prices has alarmed the bulls and they are letting the stock go to put the price at such figure that the mills will be contented to continue opera tions.
 During the first hour the cotton market continued under pressure and there was wild excitement in the ex- change, the price of the staple hav- ing slumped 42 points by 10:45.

Darius Ogden Mills, California's pioneer banker, who died suddenly at his winter home at Millbrae, was born in Westchester county, N. r., on Sept. 5, 1925. When boy he moved to New York city and found employment as a bank clerk, where he gained the fundamental knowledge of banking which in after years made him such a power in the financial world. Later he was cashier in a bank in Buffalo, and when the California gold rush of 1849 started he went to the Pacific coast, taking ship around Cape Horn. He established a banking house in Sacramento, which spread into a net the west. He was the founder of, the famous Mills hotel in New York city. MT. Mills was the father-in-law of Ambassador Reid.
