Your School Teacher.

What have you done and what are
you going to do for the comfort and
happiness of the new teacher who
has come or is to come to- make her
home in your neighborhood during
the coming months? These teachers
have under their immediate care and
direction the children from your
home for a large part of every day,
for several months in the year. If
they are in earnest about their work
their lives go out to these children
with forceful impression and inf1u-
ence. The children in turn receive
these impressions and this influence
and reflect them back into the home.
Isn't it clear then that the school and
the home must ever work together
for the best good of the children
You can't afford not to be on the best
of terms with your children's teach
er. You can't afford not to extend a
hand of welcome and cordial sup
port in every schools undertaking

CALIFORNIA TREASURE STORY.
Bullet Made Old Soldier Forget
Where He Buried His Gold.

The story of a wound received in
the civil war which sealed the hid
ing place of a fortune for more than
half a century and strange trick
of fate which cleared the hider's
memory in the evening of life was
brought to Los Angeles by the hider's
son, J. K. Anderson, of New Orleans,
who is at the Van Nuys en- route to
the old placer fields of California.
Anderson's father Joined in the
gold rush, and was one of the miners
of the 40 days. He located a claim
iE Placer county, near Auburn and
Newcastle Within a year he had
snatched from the river bottoms a
fortune. Then the call Of the South
for volunteers reached him. He buri-
ed the gold beneath the adobe blocks
of a tavern in the vicinity of his
claim, strapped all the precious sub
stance he could carry about his body
and hurried to join the Confederate
army.
Anderson says that his father was
struck in an engagement with the
Union troops by bullet which tore
open his scalp and robbed him of his
memory for fifty years. During that
time, the son says, the parent was
like a child, with all knowledge of
the hiding place of the gold gone.
Before he died, year ago, his mem
ory of the gola rush returned to him
and he was living again in the past
that preceded his part in the, con-
flict.
1t was during these last moments
that the old man told his son and the
mother where he had buried what he
claimed was a fortune. The son is
hurrying to unearth, if possible, the
hidden treasure. Anderson said:
my father said he buried the gold
under a corner of an old adobe tav-
ern patronized by the miners in the
early days. This tavern was in Long
Valley at a point half way, l have
learned, between the present towns
of Newcastle and Auburn. l have
learned through correspondence that
a family by the name of Scott occu-
pies the tavern as farmhouse and
that the country around it is devoted
to the raising of citrus fruits.
mo one has disturbed the original
lines of the building. The adobe
blocks are heavy. 1 have obtained
permission from the owners to prose-
cute my search, and will give them
a share of my findings. Otherwise l
would have to buy the property"
Anderson is a civil engineer. He
was engaged by the government for
some time in work on the Panama
canal, but has left his employment
to search for the treasure which he
maintains his father has hidden in
the old placer mining fields of Cali
fornia.-Los Angeles Herald. ;

Pointed Paragraphs.

The football hero will soon climb
back on his pedestal.
It's surprise party if everybody
there has a good time.
Occasionally a man proves his wis
dom by acting foolish.
An ounce of fattery is better than
a ton of tombstone obituary.
He is a wise man who never argues
with people he is fond of.
1t is sometimes better to have lov-
ed and lost than to be the other fel-
low.
There may have been time when
the good died young-but now die
poor.
And many a man gets what he de-
serves when he gets it in his neck.
The proof of a good buffer lies in
his ability to make good when he is
called.
Lying comes as natural to some
people as getting married does to an
actress.
A man seldom makes good when
he attempts to show off before his
children or his enemies.
And many a man doesn't owe a
dollar in the world because his ac-
quaintances know him too well.
A young widow looks upon her
first kiss from a bachelor as the be-
ginning, but it usually indicates his
finish.
If things were reversed so that we
could start at the top, it would only
be matter of time until there would
be just as big a crowd at the bottom
A young man may be able to pad
die his own canoe on the sea of mat
rimony if he isn't accompanied by a
female boat rocker.

SHE WORE PANTS FOR LOVE.
Bride Clad as Man Beats Way Across
Continent with Husband.

Beating" her way in mems cloth
ing ACROSS the continent for love of
the man she married four months
ago, and barred from any friendship
! with her own sex, Mrs. Christine Will
liams, 20 years old, rode into Buff
falo on the blind baggage" of a
Lake Shore express from Cleveland
| with her husband.
Then she was hauled from the
bumper of the first car where she
had been sleeping in the arms of
"Cass" McWilliams, who tried to
keep his girl-wife and himself out of
sight when the railroad detectives
came on them.
Coated with ice and exhausted,
they were taken from their precari-
Gus position by the trainmen and car
ried to a flag shanty. After the pair
had been thawed out the train men
began to ask questions. Then it was
that the identity of the smaller of the
two trampS was revealed to the
amazed railroaders. The husband,
anxious as to the condition of his
wife, asked that they be put in charge
of the police to get proper care.
McWilliams and his girl-Wife were
we'll cared for and then taken before
Judge Judge and charged with va
grancy.
Married four months ago in Los
Angeles to Christine Jamison, a
pretty school teacher, McWilliams
had a good job as structural steel
worker. Then came the laying of
of workmen, among them McWil-
liams. He decided to strike for New
York. But the small amount of
money that stood between Mr.. and
Mrs. McWilliams and starvation was
out of the question for transporta-
tion.
It was the girl who suggested a
method of travel of which she had
read, and she finally persuaded the
reluctant husband to fit her out in
some of his clothes, and together
they started on the journey across
the continent. From Los Angeles
they went to Kansas City; from Kan
sas City to st. Louis; then, striking
north for Chicago, where they stayed
for. several days. Starting again
they reached Cleveland. They left
the Ohio city and jumped on the
blind baggage" of an express train
from Cleveland to Buffalo on the
Lake Shore.
They endured more on the last
Jump than on all the rest. The cold
was biting, the snow, through which
the train was tearing at 60-mile
gait, cut their faces, and their hands
| were frozen to the iron rods to which
| they clung for life. The suffering
man and woman were soaked to the
skin by water from the tender, and
! their clothes froze.
Judge Judge turned the girl over
to the Salvation Army, and suspend
ed sentence on McWilliams, who took
the advice of the court and started
out to look for employment.-Buf-
falo dispatch to New York Tribune.

Easy Mark at Wagner.

Springfield, Dec. 2.-An old and
highly respected citizen of the Wag-
eener section was here to-day, and re-
ported a tsswindle" that an exposure
of may perhaps save someone else
from a like experience.
This old farmer, whose check is
good for almost any amount, relates
that a few days ago a small show
was exhibiting in the town of Wag-
ener, when he, the wealthy farmer,
was approached by well dressed
young man who represented himself
as citizen from North Carolina,
hunting for land; offering to give the
Wagner citizen large commission
on all lands that he would assist
him in buying. Gaining the attention
of the old man, he invited him to
meet his father, and in hunting
around for the supposed "father,
they accidentally ran across a prom
nent' travelling physician, who de-
sired to demonstrate sure cure for
all kidney troubles. The young real
estate hunter Immediately became in
terested, as he had Bright's disease,
and his earnestness brought the old
man from Wagner to full reallza-
ton of his trouble with his kidneys.
The socalled physician" requiring
each party to exhibit five hundred
dollars, that he might know that they
were responsible, before he would
consent to give his very valuable
remedy away. After much dickering
each party secured the necessary
money and handed it to the "physi-
cian'' to count.
The result was that the "physi-
cian'' left the old man from Wagner
with his young real estate friend
minus five hundred dollars.
The supposed real estate man buy
ing the silence of the old man by
promising, to make good the amount
lost next morning, but when the old
man from Wagner awoke the next
morning, his real estate man with
the "prominent physician" had left
town; leaving the prominent old man
of Wagner alone in his agony Of
mind.
Under the recent laws passed by
the State of Kansas, these swindlers
would be caught at the expense o1
the State, but under the laws o1
South Carolina, unless the old mar
from Wagner will bear the expense
there seems nothing to do but to pub
lish to the world that this section
has it's full share of suckers that will
bite.
