Treasure Trove.

Treasure trove is the description
given to valuables, such as coin,
gold or silver plate or bullion, found
hidden in the ground or some pri-
vate place.. the owner being un-
known. According to the Roman
law, such treasure, if found by a
man on his own land, belonged to
the finder, but if found on the land
of another was divided between the
finder and the landowner. Accord
ing to English law treasure trove
belongs to the state, and conceal
ment by the finder is an indictable
offense, punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment. If, however, the treas
ure is not actually covered by earth
it belongs to the finder.

WOODSTOCK NEWS
Trout Fishing

Commissioner II. G.. Thomas o.
Stowe is receiving letters, it is said
from all over the state reporting thai
trout fishing is unusually good this
season.
Conditions may be as gratifying
as these reports Indicate in some
sections, but we doubt some if Com
missioner Thomas is receiving many
such cheering reports frou Wood
stock and its neighborhood. If there
are many trout waiting for hook
they are in posted waters. A few
good strings were taken from the
few and decreasing number of open
streams on May Is, but the latter are.
or will soon be, exhausted for the
present season, and not many trout
are being taken from ponds.
A couple of disgusted fishermen
report that they whipped the river
from Sherburne down to Bridge
water Corners some. miles and
got one trout each. They are experts,
but the water was 80 full of sawdust
and shavings that an angler had no
show at all; in places it was much
like mess of porridge," as they
said, a condition that will soon kill
the trout there.

A GALLANT BRIeAND.
The Tact Of Woman Saved Her From
Being Robbed.

| 0O'H9 Uoppous
The saying that there is honor
among thieves suggests the thought
that If the virtue began little fur
ther back it might prevent any
practice of the profession. How
ever, brigandage being an establish
ed fact, one may permit himself to
admire the gallantry displayed by
the bandit whose exploit is describ-
ed by Andrew f. Crosse in his book
"Around About the Carpathians."
A certain lady, the widow of a
wealthy man of title, inhabited a
lonely castle not far from the route
between Buda and Vienna. One
morning she received polite note
requesting her to provide that night
at 10 o'clock supper for twelve
gentlemen.
She knew at once the character
of her self invited guests and devils
ed a novel mode of defense. She
dared not send for aid, for she
knew every road between the castle
and any town would be watched to
prevent communication, so she
made her own plans.
At 10 that evening up rode an
armed band of twelve. The great
gate of the outer court was thrown
open as if for an honored guest.
The lady herself, richly dressed,
stood at the entrance to receive.
She at once selected the chief, bade
him welcome and gave orders that
the horses should be well cared for.
Then, taking the arm of the chief,
she led the way to the dining room.
A goodly feast was spread on the
table, and the sideboards were COW
cred with magnificent display of
gold and silver plate.
The leader of the robber band
started back in surprise; but, recov-
ering his presence of mind, he calm
ly seated himself by his hostess.
When the meal was nearly finish
ed the chief took out his watch.
MADAM" he said, "the happiest
moments of my life have always
been the shortest. I have another
engagement tonight which I must
keep, but before I go allow me to
tell you that in appealing to my
honor as you have tonight you have
saved me from the commission Of
crime. Bad as I am, no one ever
appealed to my honor in vain. AS
for my men, I charge them to take
nothing from this house. He who
disobeys dies that instant"
The brigand then asked for pa
per and pen and wrote a few SEN
tences in strange characters.
eff you or your retainers ever
lose anything" he added to his
hostess, "post this publicly in the
nearest town, and I pledge my word
the missing article shall be return
ed"
The band departed. A few weeks
later the chief was captured and
hanged. He proved to be the inn
poverished younger son of noble
family of Hungary.

Blessed Illusions.

Thank heaven that little illusion
is left to us to enable us to be USE
full and agreeable; that we don't
know exactly what our friends
think of us; that the world is not
made of looking glass to show us
just the figure we are making and
just what is going on behind our
backsl BY the help of dear friend
ly illusion we are able to dream that
we are charming and our faces wear
becoming air of self possession
we are able to dream that other
men admire our talents and our be-
nightly is undisturbed; we are able
to dream that we are doing much
good and we do little.-George
Eliot.

HER CHILDISH TERROR.
Jane Addams' Awful Fear of the Con-
sequences of a Lie.


1t must have been from a very
early period that l recall "horrid
nights" when / tossed about in my
bed because l had told a lie. L was
held in the grip of a miserable
dread of death, double fear-frst,
that 1 myself should die in my sins
and go straight to that fiery hell
which was never mentioned at
home, but which | had heard all
about from other children, and, sec
ond, that my father-representing
the entire adult world which 1 had
basely deceived-should himself die
before I had time to tell him.
My only method of obtaining re-
lief was to go downstairs to my fa-
ther's room and make full confess
sion. The high resolve to do this
would push me out of bed and carry
me down the stairs without touch
of fear. But at the foot of the
stairs I would be faced by the awful
necessity Of passing the front door
which my father because of his
Quaker tendencies did not lock-
and of crossing the wide and black
expanse of the living room in order
to reach his door. / would invaria-
bly, cling to the newell post while I
contemplated the perils of the sit
uation, complicated by the fact that
the literal first step meant putting
my bare foot upon cold piece of
oilcloth in front of the door only
few inches wide, but lying straight
in my path.
I would finally reach my fathers
bedside perfectly breathless and,
having painted out the history of
my sin, invariably receive the same
assurance that if he chad little
girl who told lies he was very glad
that she felt too bad to go to sleep
afterward." No absolution was ask
ed for or received, but apparently
the sense that the knowledge of my
wickedness was shared or an obscure
understanding of the affection
which underlay the grave state
ment was sufficient, for 1 always
went back to bed as bold as lion
and slept, if not the sleep of the
just, at least that of the comforted.a

The Lieutenant Governorship

Unless Windsor County republi-
cans can unite in the support of a
candidate for lieutenant-governor
the Omination is likely to go else
where, although it is quite generally
conceded that if the country were to
pronounce unanimously in favor of
any one man he would doubtless
receive the honor. We have strong
suspicion that such will be the final
outcome.-Springfeld Reporter.

Tea In kashmir.

There are two ways of preparing
tea in Kashmir. The first is to put
the tea in pot with cold water and
boil it for half an hour, when more
cold water is added, after which it
is boiled for another half hour.
Milk is then added, and it is ready
for drinking. The second is to
place the tea in a pot with little
soda and water and boil for half an
hour as before. Milk, salt and but
ter are then added, after which it
is boiled for another half hour,
when it is ready.

1t has been definitely decided to
open the girls school at Rock Point,
