BABY NEVER WORE CLOTHING
Humane officer Finds Professors
Little Daughter Is Healthy,
Brown and Happy

San Bernardino, Cal, Aug. 1.-THE
child has never worn stitch of cloth
ing and is as free from common all
ments as the most healthy adult, y
was the statement of Prof. Louis
Klein to County Humane Officer J. j.
Arbois, who went to Cucamonga re-
Gently to investigate charges of cru
city on the part of the parents to
their three-months-old babe.
The humane officer found the little
bud of a girl rolling in glee under a
cot among the trees. She was a
healthy brown and unusually we'll de-
veloped for one of her age.
1--WE are having our baby live close
to nature" said the mother, because
we believe that is the only way to
keep an infant free from bodily ills.
She has never known an Ill hour and
has more vitality at 3 months than
the average child at 2 years"

c. {. YANCEY OF HOWARD coUN-
TY (MO.) DECIDES NOT TO
SUE DiscoVERER.
SUM SAID TO BE OVER $40, 600
Amount Found In Pot In Ancient
Building May Be $4,000 or
,ooo-Sum May Be
Bandits Loot.

Liberty. Mo, Aug 14.-A thrilling
tale OF buried gold, found by farm
hand, and his efforts to again secrete
it, was told here by c. e. Yancey. The
narrator is one of the largest stock
raisers and farmers in Clay and How
ard counties, and will receive an equal
share with the man who uncovered
the treasure.
According to Yancey, Wicke Patter-
son, farmland employed by him and
working on his land, found a pot con-
tanning more than $4,000 in gold
while dismantling an old manor house
known in ante-bellum days as the Will
liam R. Burck place and later used
as an inn.
Gold Hid in Building.
The place is in Howard county,
near Huntsville Patterson refused TO
wife. He found the treasure secreted
between parts of the wall in the base
ment
IF Mr.. Yancey does not know how
much was in the pot. he will not
know how much to sue for" Patter-
son is reported to have told his wife
and friends. He then sought another
hiding place for the treasure.
From a reliable source it is learned
that Yancey contemplated bringing
suit against Patterson, because of ad-
vice from attorneys that whatever is
found on the land belongs TO the own
er. But an understanding was reached
and owner and finder will divide the
money evenly.
May Be Anderson's Loot.
Patterson is said to have admitted
that at least $4,000 in gold was in
the pot.
Many persons in the vicinity think
the pot contained between 100000 and
$4,000 Their belief is based on the
fact that several banks We're robbed
in that vicinity by Bill Anderson, the
noted guerrilla chief, few days be-
fore his death. 1t is asserted that just
before he was killed he spent night
at the inn.

PLAN OF PRISON REFORM

Nashville, Tenn, December22 --~
"No more stripes for Tennessee
convicts" is the edict of Governor
Ben Wade Hooper after spending
a night and day at the State prison,
mingllng with the prisoners with
view of finding those most worthy
Of Christmas pardon and to inves-
tigate the cause of alleged mutiny
among the inmates. He found no
evidences of characterization.
His visit has resulted not only in
a plan to substitute uniforms for
stripes, but the Governor is going
further in the prison reform move
ment. He will establish a school
for the convicts.
The Governor also will recon-
mend an intermediate law giving
maximum and minimum sentence,
dependent upon the conduct of the
prisoner,
He believes in going back to the
principle upon which prisons were
founded-to correct the evil ten
dency fsthe prisoner and to work
a reform on him so that he would
not be menace to society When
liberated.

months and s days. The deceased
professed religion in 1888, and

He is survived by an aged father
and his sister, Mrs. Sallie Bledsoe,

1t has been the writer's pleasure

all that was good, and he was loved
and esteemed by all who knew him.
His treasures were laid up in
