STIRRED HEARTS OF MILLIONS
Worshipers Of 5uddha Highly Ex-
cited Over the Finding Of the
Bones of Their Saint.

OF all the treasures unearthed by
archaeologist's spade from the hidden
recesses of the earth, no find has ever
thrilled more human hearts than the
recovery of the bones of Gautama
Siddartha Buddha from a mound near
Peshawar. midas northwest frontier
stronghold.
The effect of this discovery upon the
votaries of Buddhism, who are esti-
mated to number more than 500, 000,-
900 and form a large percentage Of the
population of Japan, Formosa, Korea,
China, Tartary, Siam, AMMAN. Cam
bodia. Tibet, Burma, Nepal, India and
Ceylon, and who look upon Buddha as
their emancipation, their god Of gods,
can be appreciated only when it is
considered what sensation the find
ing Of the remains of Mohammed
would make in the Mohammedan
world. The unearthing of the bones
of their revered saint, it can be easily
imagined. has stirred the Buddhists TO
the depths of their being in way that
nothing else could have done.
What adds interest to tho romantic
find, not only for Buddhists, but for
men and women of all creeds and
climes, is the fact that the exact To-
cation where these particular relics
of Buddha had been inferred was
shrouded in mystery, hidden in an al
most impenetrable mass of oriental le-
gendary lore No one knew definitely
where the shrine had been erected,
and consequently the hunt for the pre-
cious bones was no sinecure. but it
had to be based to large extent on
pure guesswork-Wide World Maya

THOUGHT OUT A NEW GRAFT"
Torrld Weather Gave New York Beg
gar an Idea Which He Seemingly
Turned to Advantage.

A man believed to be a professional
beggar took advantage of the torrid
weather to work on the sympathies OF
persons In the subway, the New York
Times states. The beggar, wearing
heavy storm ulster, got on north
bound Broadway express at six O'Clock
in the evening, at the Brooklyn bridge
station. He found seat in corner
OF the car, and the perspiring passen-
gers regarded him with surprise and
pity. They noticed that the beggar
had long beard and that the storm
collar OF the great coat was turned up
and buttoned tightly about his neck.
He seemed to be suffering much from
the heat, for his lean face was moist
with perspiration.
A sympathetic guard asked the beg
gar why he was clothed for winter
when most of the men in the car had
cast aside their coats. The beggar re-
piled softly that he did not dare to
open his ulster, as he wore no clothing
underneath it. This information the
guard communicated to several men in
the car. One of them started a collec-
ton to get suit of clothes for the
poor man. He passed hat from one
passenger to another, and several dol
lars in silver were obtained for the
beggar. He quit the car at the Grand
Central station, thanking his benefac-
tors tearfully. After counting up the
collection he crossed to the south
bound platform of the station, where
he got on a downtown express. He
succeeded in arousing the sympathies
of the passengers on the train, and an
other collection was taken up and
turned over to him. When last seen
he was hurrying to a north-bound ex-
press at the bridge station.

ample counterfeit forms of the best

bring 81 a dozen. The better class of
foreign counterfeit coins will bear the
most minute inspection and are very
easily passed, being accepted by a
good many of the experts themselves.
There are, of course. q more common
set OF "smashers," who turn out an in
ferior kind OF coin. These pass at a
lower rate amongst the fraudulent fra

Wanted 10 Escape in Tine

In a country town in the English
midlands there is a man who is so
noted for his conversational abilities
that his acquaintances avoid giving
him unnecessary opportunities to
talk.
One morning this man rode up to a
hotel in the neighborhood just as the
guests were finishing breakfast He
dismounted, walked in, saluted the
landlord in his usual loud tones and
declared that he was so cold that he
could hardly talk.
Just then a nervous traveller who
was present stepped up to the land
lord and, taking him by the coat. said:
