MYSTERY or
BULLS CAVE.

In an out of the way corner OF Penn
sylvauia people used to talk OF the
bulls cave. This cave is far from the
usual roads Of travel, so that few tour
kts hear Of it.
A number of years ago my Uncle Jo'
seph visited that country on fishing
trip and happened to come upon the
entrance of the cavern. He proposed
to the boy who was acting as guide
that they make torches Of pine splin-
tiers and venture In. To his great sur
prise the boy hung back. Come Oh,
Pete" said Uncle Joseph. Where |
come from the boys would think this
a great lark"
"But they never have to go into the
bulls cave" said Pete. There are
dreadful things in there" he added.
"Why do they call 1t the bulls cavef"
asked my uncle.
The boy lee him into what might be
called the vestibule and said. Listen"
They were silent and heard low dis
tant murmur
"What Is IT."
The boy looked very solemn. THAT
Is the bull grinding" he said. HE Is
grinding treasure. The rock falls into
his mill. which is round. fiat place.
In the middle of 1t stands an upright
stone. and OH the top Of this stone
heavy round beam is fastened by one
end. the other end being fastened to
the bulls yoke. This beam Is really
nm axle. for 1t sticks through the mid
die Of another great round stone that
stands on edge. The bull walks around
the mill pushing the beam. which
makes the milestone 60 forward and
ut the same time around and around.
30 that 1t brushes everything beneath
IT. The rocks are always falling into
the mill. and they are crushed into pre-
ciOus stones. \ stream Of water washes
them out. and sometimes we find them
In the brooks. You found one the
other day" The boy alluded to peb-
BILE Of moss agate which my uncle had
picked up.
"You seem to know all the details
of this wonderful bull" said uncle.
Have you ever seen it,"
"No. indeed" replied Pete. with
shudder, "Our hired man knew a cou-
pie of men who once went in, and they
had an awful time"
"Tell me about It."
"These two fellows had heard about
the jewels. and they thought they'd 20
in and get lot. They had II ball Of
string with them, so as to find the way
out. and they tied one end Of II to that
sassafras tree. They carried lanterns
and walked and walked through lots
Of passages. the noise getting louder
all the time. AT last they came to
place where 4 light came in through
the roof. and they say thu! the ground
| In front Of them took sudden drop.
The cave had widencd out in Il II place
as big as a circus tent. and Way down
below they saw the bull working jus;
as I have told you. How tn" jewels
spafkled. They were Of all colorS. and

Boy Scouts In Factory,

The organization Of patrols OF the
BOY scouts Of America, which hereto
fore has been practically confined to
associations, clubs and churches, Is
now to extend into ut least one New
ark factory, the plant OF the White
head & Hoag company.
The directors Of this concern are SO
impressed with the boy scout move
ment that they have taken steps to-
ward forming patrols among oil boys
between fourteen and eighteen years
Of age IN their employ. 1t is believed
this Is the first time that the move
ment has been taken up by any manu-
featuring concern In this country.

Why does the wind lie down at night
When all the sky Is red?
Why does the moon begin to shine
When l am put to bed.
And all the little stars come out
And twinkle overhead?
] wee the sun shine all the day,
! gather daisies In my play.
But. oh. truly wish that !
Could zee the stars bloom In the sky!
I'd love to see the moon shine down
And silver all the roofs In town.
But always of to sleep go
Just as the sun IL getting low.

When all the sky II red.
And. oh, ! want to see the stars
Just blossom overhead!
