Seek Treasure In Sea.

The bell of the British frigate Lu-
tine, which sank OF the Dutch coast in
1900 with a cargo of coin and specie
valued at s6.000,0o0 is the bad news
bell at Lloyd's. Whenever news is re-
ceived that a ship is overdue or when
definite news comes of the loss OF a
ship the bell is rung by the caller. At
its tolling all transactions are suspend
ed until the news 1t heralds is read.
Many attempts. some partially sue
cessful, have been made to recover the
golden cargo. of the Lutine. About
$500 900 of the sum has been found.

found. Only short time ago the
wreck was again located and search
for the treasure is now being made

The Folly of Getting Worked Up.

About every so often bill is turned
loose In Congress, in Senate or House
some tariff to raise or some tariff re-
duce or some budding reformer to
douse; ana then we stand up on our
hind legs and let out yell like fan
at game and we swear and We hoot
and we shout and we sweat-buL The
country goes on just the same.
Did you ever recall 1t has always
been SO since George Washington sat
in the chair? That half OF the people
see nothing but woe in the bills that
our statesmen prepare, while another
contingent that's equally vast is clap
ping It's hands in acclaim? Then the
bill is defeated or bill it is passed
but the country goes on just the same.
You remember the bill that the
Democrats had that the, Wings knew
would ruin the lard? How half Of
the people were thoroughly mad
while the other half thought it was
grand? Let's see, that was back-in
the year '53. and all OF the folks were
aflame. You semember the measure?
Well. neither do we-for the country
went on just the same.
Now, it iSu't the bills that the or
atOrs spring, down there in our ma
tional halls; it isn't reforms that the
orators sing and shout in the capitol
walls that make US or break us-that
ism the prize that we seek in the ma
tional game: the Congress adjOurns
or the orator dies-bpt the country
goes on just the same.
What's the use 0f US getting excited
ike that when their climax the ora.
tors reach, when they shout insur-
rection, or proudly stand pat in q
star spangl bannery speech? That
this bill or that will bring sorrow or
woe the orators loudly may claim,
but Congresses come and the Con-
crosses go-but the country goes on
just the same.
L t us plow up the field, let us put
ia the wheat, let US start up the en-
gine spell; let US hang out our sign
board well over the street and be
ready TO buy and to sell. Let us cut
out the yawp, let US cut out the yelp,
let us cut out the pessimist game; let
US get down to busineS>--that's all
that will help TIE country 60 on just
the same.

Glove and Life"

We find the following tolerably clev.
er description of love in an old mag
azine. Love is like the devil. be.
cause 1t torments us, like heaven. be-
cause 1t wraps the soul in hiss; like
pepper, because it often sets one on
fire; like sugar, because it is sweet;
like a rope, because it is often the
death of a man; like a prison, be.
cause 1t makes one miserable; like
wine, because it makes us happy; like
a man, because it is here today and
gone tomorrow; like a woman, be-
Cause there is no getting rid of it.;
like a beacon, because it guides one
to the wished-for port; like a will-o'.
th'-wisp. because it often runs away
with one; like little pony. because
1t ambles nicely with one; like the
bite of mad dog or the kiss of pret-
ty woman. because they both make a
man run mad; like a goose because
1t is silly; like a rabbit. because there
is nothing like il. In a word, it is like
a ghost, because it is like everything
and like nothing-often talked about,
but never seen, touched or under
stood"

Interesting Fossils.

Splendid fossils were discovered
the other day during sinking opera
tions for two new coal pits at Old
Cumnock. Scotland. At about so
fathoms deep a flower period was
passed through. well defined fossils of
tree branches, ferns, flowers, seeds.
and seedpods being found. The most
interesting discoveries were evidently
of much earlier period. because
these were found at a depth of rs
fathoms. This has evitently been a
marine period, the fossils including
several well defined she!lfsh. some of
good size. embedded in the ironstone
Two most important finds are those
of animals. One. in very complete
condition. resembles part of seal

It's really rather funny how the
man who burning money finds legion
Of admirers any place that he may
stray. Everything he says is witty
all the jonnieS in the city gather
round him and adore him while he's
wealth to throw away. When he
grows exceeding friskv, in the gilded
hall OF whiskey, cen the barkeeps
make confess sion that he has wealth
of charms; and the peelers. evidently,
love him, for they treat him gently,
when his feet become entangled and
he falls into their arms. O. the
world is soft and tender TO the lavish
money spender, and he thinks the
people love him for his merits and
his face; but when all his wealth has
melted, he is hustled, he is pelted, and
the barkeeps calmly kick him from
the portals of their place. And the
people who are smirki1g, when his
money he was jerking, call him
names. that hurt his feelings wnen he
seeks helping hand; and the
naughty cops surround him, draw
their night sticks and they pound
him, load him in the burry-wagon
aud he's fined to beat the band. All
the friends you gain by blowing mon
ey where the booze is flowing are not
worth cent dozen-they're not
worth a half Of that; they-will shake
you when you're busted, and will turn
away disgusted, when, TO buy little
fodder, you attempt TO pass the hat.

An Alpine Garden.

The highest garden in the world

botany. which was laid out by the late
Canon Chanoux. formerly rector Of
the Hospice of Little st. Bernard. It
Is situated at an elevation of 1900
meters. or 7.150 feet. Here are to be
found almost all species of mountain
flowers. not only those common in the

1.-THE FOLKS" LIKE THE JEFFS.

Dear Sir: The folks at our house
want to express their appreciation
of Mr.. Watson's editorial on first
President before an Investigating
Committee. The affair is stated SO
clearly and forcibly, that anyone can
understand the matter. The general
ty of newspaper articles on such sub
jects appear to Us to be SO muddled
we can't make head or tail, of them,
also to be sure, this may be owing to
the fact that we are common folks.
1t is about time somebody was show
ing up Roosevelt, for the stupendous
humbug that he is. That congress
man, the other day characterized T.
r. justly when he declared that you
would shake hands with the strenu-
Gus one one night as you left him
believing that in the morning fight
he would stand shoulder to shoulder
with you, but when you got on the
firing line next day, who should you
see on the enemies breast-works, but
Teddy waving the standard of the
foe, and urging the enemy on to the
attack.
AT time ike the present Wnen
great numbers of our people are
wavering in their loyalty to their
old political affiliations, and are COM
ing to perceive the insurgent Repub-
licans and progressive Democrats are
both striving after the same end, a
square deal to the people, at such a
time, man like Roosevelt is par
ticularly dangerous and misleading,
as there are lots of folks taken in by
this humbug, who is not so deluded
would help the cause along, and as
traitor in the ranks is more danger
Gus than an army of open enemies,
we can't but applaud the efforts of Mr..
Watson to show up T. r. in his true
cO1orS.

AN INTERESTING BUDGET FROM
AN OLD FRIEND, MIR. PARKER.

Ill fares the land, to gathering
ills a-prey
Where wealth doth concentrate
And labor has to pay"
I'm always advised not to be rash:
but l will do it; can't help it, Now
l hope Mr.. Taft won't be offended,
but, I must say he don't understand
conditions and things as well as did
the late Jay Gould. Jay Gould said:
we don't fear the laboring man,
for we can always hire one half of
them to shoot down the other half.
Jay knew what he was talking about,
he knew that the more tramps and
vagabonds the financial system, he
and his son have forced upon the
country, the bigger would be the
half to be hired to do the shooting.
Mr.. Taft in his Wednesday-nigh
speech to the G. A. r. among other
high falutin' generalities, said:
The present does not bring diff
ficulties so great as you had to meet
and overcome in 81. 1t may be
longer fight, because it will not in
volve violence Or the shedding of
blood, but it must and will be solved
peacefully and by earnest effort
of the level-headed, the practical and
the courageous among u.s.
Of course we all hope Mr.. Taft is
correct, but suppose Mr.. J. P. Morgan,
Mr.. J. d. Rockefeller, and one or two
others into whose hands the wealth
that labor has created, has concen-
trated, should see a chance to still

further increase their accum ulating
a few million dollars precipitating a
panic; and suppose Providence that
same year, should cause a crop fail
ure. What then? Then, instead of
seeing peaceful Coke Armies march
ing on to Washington petitioning
congress for conditions that would
give them work; stepping on the grass
and being imprisoned therefor, you
would see mob in every city of the
land marching on to the store-houses
of the same, under the red flag of
Bread or BLOOD, and then their
brothers who compose the local mill
