WOMEN SEARCHING
FOR GOLD ON TIP
OF DYING PIRATE
Cathedral In Lima Stripped by
Robbers Who Are Forced to
Bury Loot and Make
Escape.

San Francisco Cal.-Special: AL
though numerous tales involving the
search for hidden treasure on the little
Island called Cocos. off the west coast
of Costa Rica. have been related, none
Is as strange as that told upon the
arrival here of the steamship Stanley
Dollar from Ancon.
Seven men and w women were
taken from Ancon aboard the Stanley
island, which for over Ia a century
has been the Mecca for adventures
from all over the world. The party
possess two o n of supplies, boats
and a chart of the treasure.
Women Lead the Party.
Not only is the band of Adventures
led by the M but in case the
search for the reputed 100000 900 trea-
sure Is successful the entire amount is
to be used for the benefit OF the Lon
don poor. Mrs. B. Till. commander in
chief. is the widow of a noted London
clergyman. while Miss l.. Il. Davis, the
chief aid of Mrs. Till, is said to be a
literary woman of note.
Intensely religious, both women have
been connected with philanthropic
work in London for the last decade.
and it is with the expectation of so ex-
pending the vast lost wealth Of the
Peruvians that the expedition was or
ganlZed. The women believe 1t espe-
cially appropriate that the %treasure
should be used for religious purposes,
for the bulk OF 1t was taken from the
Lima cathedral when the Peruvian

The manner in which the chart came

to Cocos island. where the treasure
was hastily cached, and the pirates
sailed away. The Mary Deer was
overtaken by a Peruvian warship, and
with the exception of two men all were

HOBBLE SKIRT UNDER
Ban OF QUEEN MARY
Women Wearing That Garment
Forbidden to Enter Royal
Presence.

London-Special: Queen Mary has
stirred up a hornets nest by banishing
all tight and hobbled skirts from her
august presence. Gentlemen of the
court in the royal motor called on all
smart dressmakers in Hanover square
and Bond street and stated to the man
ayers:
I'VE are authorized to inform YOU
that the lord chamberlain commands
that no tight skirts shall be worn at
court, by order of her gracious ma
jesty."
The dressna:.ers were further asked
to convey this intimation to their Gus
toners. The word court" here refers
to all functions attended by royalty
not only the state drawing rooms, where
tight skirts make 1t impossible for the
women to courtesy, but also to royal
Ascot and afternoon functions where
the queen is present.
There is great Indignation among the
women of the smarr set because the
queen by this order implies that society
is lacking in modesty an discretion.
n they declare that this attempt to
dictate the fashions by royal decree will
make the lord chamberlain skirt cen.
sor of the coronation season.

Wear and Tear Of City Lite.

There is something in the superficial life
of cities which tends to deteriorate the in
dividual. says Ofison SWEET Marden in
Success Magazine. The effeminate influ-
enGes of city life sap the fire, force and
vtrility out of those who are country-bred,
after two or three generations. The brain
fiber, as we'll as the muscle, begins to
soften and wither away. 1t can not stand
the softcning, deteriorating city infiu-
ence much longer than this.
LII other words. virility, forcefulness,
physical and mental stamina reach their
maximum in those who live close to the
soil. The moment a man becomes artif-
cial in his living. takes on artificial con-
ditions, he begins to deteriorate, to soften.
He may be more refined and more cult
gated. but 1t is at the cost of vigor, STAN
ina and force.

II you were to travel through Asia YOU

Chinese gentleman who travelled through

back to his friends describing us? He
said: You can not civilize these Ameri-
cans. They are beyond redemption. They
will go weeks and months without touch
ing a mouthful Of rice, but they eat flesh
of bullocks and sheep in enormous guam
titles. Nor do they eat the meat cooked in
small pieces. 1t Is carried into the room
In large chunks, often half raw, n then
they cut and slash and tear it apart. They
eat with knives and prongs; 1t makes a
civilized being perfectly nervous. One fan
cies himself in the presence of sword
s~wallowers. They have no sense OF dig
nifty. for they may be found walking with
women, they even sit down at the same
table with women. and the latter are
served first. Yet the women are to be
pitied. too. On festive occasions, which
Americans call balls. they are dragged
around a room to the accompaniment Of
the most hellfsh music.''

to get In Off the rOad late at night, nor
to leave the horses uncurried for W

A cheerful spirit gets on quick,
A grumbler in the mud will stick.
1t is less work to hoe twice soon aft

once after the weeds get high. and it
does much more good.
Borrowing tools, and sending them
