said to be river pirates hoard Old Nick
o Jack himself was leader of that hand of
renegades halfbreed Indians, and runaway
slaves. There was no opportunity to spend
the gold they captured, and it was hidden
until the renegades could 60 to New Orleans.
The gang was broken up by a little army
OF settlers, and the leaders killed. The lead
ers alone knew where the hoard was. and
their secret died with them.
Some Other Hoards
IF Oliver Curtis Perry, the noted train
robber was TO speak, he might tell what
became of his booty. A thorough desperado.
he also was the exempli6cation of courtesy.
his Central New York acquaintance say.
incidentally, he laid away enough money to
keep him in his old age. He said so many
times, and this has led to the supposition
that he has a hidden treasure somewhere in
Central New York. If it is found. or if it
has been found, it is doubtful whether the
fact will ever be made public willingly by
the finder. There would be too many claim
ants for it-victims.
50 1t is with many treasures, and yet
there are many who at once make a great
cry OF Joy when they discover pots Of gold.
One such was a semi-imbecile on the noun
tainside across the Tennessee from Lookout
Mountain, below Chattanooga, who was
water boy for some road makers. One day
at lunch he started up, walked to fence, and
began to dig. Two feet down he discovered
a pot containing between three and four
thousand dollars in coin, greatly to the
amazement of his fellow workers.
a year or so ago Edward Woods and
Thomas Dickinson lOpperc went hunting
rabbits near Oil City, Pennsylvania. A rab-
bit was holed in a brush heap, and the two
men tried to poke it out. They poked out
pot instead. There was thirty-six hundred
dollars in gold and twenty-five dollars in
silver in the kettle. The oldtimers remenl-
bered that John Caldwell, an eccentric
farmer who died in an insane asylum, had
received ten thousand dollars for his farm
in the oil excitement. Everyone went out
hunting for gold in that neighborhood, when
the loggers' find was reported. OF course,
the heirs of Caldwell had valid grounds of
suit against such discovery as that.

The Slang Tree

RY a little sprouting Of the imagination,
- slang may be said to be the product Of
singular tree. 1t is fruit that people pluck
greedily, then pass on, thinking all the while
that such a thing has never been tasted be-
fore. But the roots OF this tree strike sur
prisingly Deep and the sap that forms the
succulent juice Of the fruit is often drawn
from very ancient springs.
In "Lakshadat,a and Labdhadatta "a
Sanskrit tale, which parents passed on to
their children before the Christian Era, per-
haps-it is related that Labdhadatta was
beggar, who almost naked and hideously
miserable, sat beside the palace gate, IN the
city of Lakshapura, day and night For six
years, Lakshadatta the King, although COM
passionate of heart, refused him aims.
One day, however, moved by the va
grants opportunities, he assembled his sub
iects at an appointed place outside the pal
ace walls. When the mendiCant appeared
the monarch looked upon him with much
favor and asked him to utter a composition
Of his own. ThereupOn Labdhadatta re-
cited an Aryan verse to the effect that For
tune ever replenishes the full man; but she
never comes within range OF the gaze OF the
poor.
The King announced that he was nightly
pleased with tins reply. ne assembly, III
consequence, stood on tiptoe of curiosity,
and the beggar waited with blissful eXpecta-
ton. The King announced that he meant
to bestow a gift upon him; whereupon he
handed him, far back in that ancient day
what? a lemon!
Instantly there was much COmmotOn, and
the populace cried out that Labdhadatta
was greatly to be pitied, and he became
known as the unfortunate to whom the King
had handed a lemon.
So it will be seen that this fruit IS not
new one on the slang tree; but that the
vinegar OF disappointment, which IS the
iuice of the matter. is a sap from very old
fountain.
But as the lemon that one hands to an
other in these days may not be lemon at all,
50 it was in that Sanskrit day; for that par
ticular lemon, after an interesting series Of
transfers. found its way back to the King.
He forthwith called another assembly and
Intentionally let the lemon fall to the floor
before the beggar. It broke in two where 1t
had been adroitly joined together, and the
assembly saw that it had been filled all the
while with gems Of rare value.

the German speaking people of this
city" says Vienna letter, but it
is usually pronounced 'fleert.' A young
woman, Kamilla Palffy delivered a
lecture a few days ago In the hall Of
the Merchants association on 'Flirt
and Love The lecture was illustrat-
ed with stereopticon views. The evo-
luton of the firt was shown from the
antique rural, 'old-fashioned to the
perfect American There was some
discussion among the Americans who
heard the talk as to whether giving
our country first place was compli-
ment or a knock and no one seemed
to know just which side to take. One

The gaunt frontiersman who went to
the White House fifty years ago bore
on his STOPPING shoulders a greater

which he did his duty is indicated by
the reverent love inwhich his memory
is held in every part of the reunited

THREE GREAT AD ESSENTIALS
Truth, Reverence and Beauty Are
Necessary to Succeed. Says Kan
sas City Divine.

Truth. reverence and beauty, are
the three essentials of advertising, /"
said the Rev Naphtali Lussocock, pas.
tor of the Hyde Park Methodist
church. in talk before the Kansas
City Ad Club
Advertising that is not truthful is
like a structure built upon a weak
foundation, sooner or later it must
crumble. An untruth always comes
home to a man. There are many ways
of telling the truth. and the best one
in advertising is to say it in the most
attractive manner There is great
difference. however, between speaking
the truth and changing the environ
ment of fact until it changes its
color. Coloring the truth is not speak
ing truths.
Il believe the world of advertising
is growing more reverent every year
Reverence is quality which must be
observed. How disgusting it is to see
the American flag used to advertise
beer. What hollow mockery it is to
exploit the charms of female person
for advertising.
