also very unsightly. Although the

HIDDEN HOARDS.
Fortunes Buried or Tucked Away In
Wastefui Neglect.

WastSIul Ncgicct.
None can estimate the wealth hid
den in the days of the war between
the states. Down mountain slopes,
across the great plantations and along
the streets of cities of the south are
trails OF lest fortunes. On the Missis-
sippi river the shanty boaters tell tales
of kettles OF gold coin and money that
were buried In the brakes or revealed
in the caying bank OF the Mississippi
by cascade of coin rushing down the
crumbling slope into the flood. Now
and then some sharp darby appears
with a handful OF old gold.
A mathematician might estimate the
quantity of nugget gold hidden by the
placer miners, the loggers, thinkers,
tramps, soldiers-all the kinds of for
tunes that are tucked away in useless
and wasteful neglect in all parts OF
the country-in stockings, mattresses,
old clothes, garrets, cellars, hollow
trees, novels. mansions, caches OF des-
peradoes and hidings of foreigners. IL
only one In 10000 hides 500 that is
never found, and in every village and
town the proportion Is larger, among
farmers and back country people much
larger, the loss will amount to $780,
600. The chances are that there is "A
