HISTORY
morning.

Continued from Page Nine.)
In 1881 I went there to water and
recruit ship and found the island de-
serted. let all of my crew go on
shore and forage. There were lots Of
fruit and also lot Of vegetables in
the ground. Hogs and chickens were
abundant but wild, so the boys had
some fine sport with the guns. 1t was
a picnic for the lusty whalers-fresh
meat galore They were a mixed crew
of all nations, as you used to find in
whaler in those days.
None of them had ever heard of
the supposed treasure that was buried
there, as they were ignorant,
Sailors Yarn.
We were homeward bound with a
full ship couple of months later, we'll
up into the southeast trades. My wife

quarter deck when the conversation
of one of the boatsteerers attracted
my attention. stopped at the break
Of the quarterback and listened. He
was talking in Spanish to the mate
about his little episode on the island
It appears he had shot a wild pig and
was packing him down the hillside to
the ship and sat down to take rest
AS it felt cold under him he scraped
away the leaves and there was large
pot, bottom side up, buried in the
ground The bottom was round like
whaler's try pot My heart thumped
pretty hard just about then.
I said, Juan, come here" Yes
sir" said he.
why did you not report that to me
While We were there?"'
well, sir, did not think it was

"All right; that will do, Juan"

Saturday the men at the saw mill
went down to the woods to get out
some long timbers. 1t was very
warm, but the Industrious men did
not mind the neat, for all they were
looking for was tall, sound trees and
snakes. They found a place in the
timber where there was no brush so
they went to work. The chief over
seer or "Nibs'' as we call him for
short, said if he saw a snake he
would jump into the auto and return,
but not at a very slow rate, but
''Nibs'' did not appear until supper
time, so we are satisfied the reptiles
did not make their appearance.

day. Miss Eva Wilmott, of Tenny-

Send The Paper to Your Friends.

The "Old Home Paper is a letter
writing saver, says the Holton
Signal. Did you ever stop to think
what a great labor saver the home
paper is, as means of communion
ton with absent friendsf "Write to
me often = is the last command the
one breaking away from home ties so
often gives to those left behind. In
the rush and hurry of every day,
very few people nowadays have time
to devote to correspondence of leisure
ly kind the people of other days kept
up with such unvarying punctuality.
And there is where the home paper
saves a world of trouble. 1t is better
than a letter. too, for it contains
much that a letter would not. Items
of interest are in it that the writer
might not know or overlook. 1t is
wonderful how eagerly one devours
d home paper when a stranger in a
strange land. Even the people you
did not know intimately while at home,
become an absorbing interest to you
when you read that they have died
or married, or figured otherwise in
the home affairs. If there is some.

them the paper regularly and d letter
occasionally and see if they do not
appreciate the favor of the paper.

six o'clock in the evening he went

DYER FOR SHERIFF;
GLENN FOR A
Board of Canvassers of Recent Primary
Make Official Count.

The Board of Canvassers OF the
recent primary election met at the
Office of Co. Clerk Mccoy Yesterday
and proceeded to count the vote. The
board included E. E. Mccoy. county
clerk, r. l., Dugdale, register of deeds,
and, in the absence of Judge Goodsell,
Frank Calls. James McBrien was
appointed clerk.
While the board has not fully com.
pleted it's work, it is understood that
". b. Dyer has a sufficient lead to
secure his nomination on the Republi-
can ticket for sheriff. Second choice
votes may reverse his lead, but not
likely. Robert Glenn undoubtedly
has the nomination for state senator.
Frank Pitts has the Democratic
nomination for sheriff.
The returns from a number of
precincts appear to be incomplete,
especially as to second choice votes.
On account OF such deficiency Mr..
Dyer asked for a recount of the re.
turns of twenty-one precincts. The
board started the recount yesterday,
and when they finish the exact figures
can be given.
