"Nels. my friend" said the ~janitor
to his Scandinavian assistant, Il take
notice that you're a-getting gay these
days. That there cap of yours is got
too small for your head and l don't
believe the caps shrunk any at that.
What was you abusing that gentleman
for just . w?-What gentleman? The
gentleman with the laundry, the vel
low complicated gentleman with the
slant eyes and the haggy pants that
you was ~a-speaking TO so u~nkindly.
"~Chinyman, was he?" said the JAM
tor. with a broad smile OF perfect com
~prehension. "Well, of course that's
different. If he was a Chink. ! don't
know as I can blame you It's per
fectly natural thai you'd want to kick
him off the premises and make mo-
lions to that effect. I s'pose he give
you the excuse that he had business

treated civil and decent.

blessing that there is scum and Off
sCOurings for us to look down on and
kick around and bawl out once in a
While,' unused the j~anitOr. "We'd Ger
tainly be in a bad way if there wasn't.

that way. Nels. my friend. It's been
a great comfort to me after the agent

to jack you up and tell you what |

fshballs in their soup. l don't know
but what I'm going a little too ar in

a funeral procession, judging by the

Col. Roosevelt. one evening IN Mar

respondents a lumber of stories.
IF more Of US were materially, but
not mentally, like the Arkansas back
woodsmen, it would be well for the
nation" said the colonel.
Once, while traversing Arkansas, I
dismounted at a log cabin M asked
if ! could have dinner. Yes, they
said, | could, and while [ waited on
the bench before the door | noticed a
baby playing with a loaded revolver.
Goodness mel l said, you

with a loaded revolver. What a ter

only. Here was a puzzle which even his shrewd-
ness could not solve. The coins were silver and
of fL.I weight. and in that day silver was Of
sufficient intrinsic value to make it useless for
anyone to make commercials out Of the pure
metal. Mowers searched for another week, but
found no more coins. He then showed the re-
suit Of his labor to n~eighbOrs and to some people
in the city Of Chicago. He said nothing about
where he had discovered the treasure. Shortly
afterward, however, a man offered him 500 for
the secret. and though Mowers told him that
the place was probably worked out the man Of
fered the money, said he would take the chance,
and the offer was accepted. The purchaser
never found anything and gave up the labor in
disgust.
It was not long before the story Of the place
where the coins had been picked up became gen
orally known and the people focked 70 the bluff
and to the beach marking the site OF the lost
town. They dug, searched and prospected with
all the ardor of Klondikers, but the sole result
was a gold piece OF the value of $3.50, which a
boy picked up from the wake Of a retreating
wave. The collection Of coin which Henry Now
ers found Is now in the possession Of a man
who once ran a Chicago dime museum. No one
has ever been able to account for the presence
Of the money in the place. The theory that it
was left behind by a departing resident Of St.
John is said to be hardly tenable- because the
people of that place were not rich enough to
make them careless Of valuabIes.
There Is one metal which the prospector may
find in abundance If he will go to ST. John before
the two old apple trees tumble down the blum.
The trunks and branches Of both OF them are
Fall Of lead. The trees stood Just at the end
Of the old Sixth infantry rife butt. For three
years before the building OF the present post
the troops that first came to Fort Sheridan
pumped lead at target practice into the butt and
incidentally into the apple trees at the side.
Despite the attacks of the weather and this
Ieaden onslaught the two trees bore a burden Of
fruit for years as sound and as sweet as that
which bent their branches at the time when the
town Of ST John was something more substan-
tial than a memory.

before 1t could be resumed the barn, in the shape
Of disjotnted 1oists and broken blanks. was be-
ing tossed about by the waves.
It was about this time that the people of st.
John received a visitor who was much more
unWelcome than the storm. This visitor was a
lawyer armed with a lot Of ormida bIeIooking
papers. 'He went to the tavern and asked that
the elders Of the village be sent for. They came.
The lawyer told them that their title to the land
which they occupied was extremely faulty and
that they must either pay again for the ground
on which their homes stood, or get out. The
villagers made up their minds to fight the mat
ter out, but preliminary court proceedings showed
them that the lawyer had fully as good a case
as he claimed. They became disheartened. and
when another terrific storm arose, and the black
smiths shop and George Shepard's house went
into the lake they lost all courage. They told
the lawyer that the lake seemed to have a bet
ter claim to the land than either they ora he
had, and that it apparently was bent on enforc-
ing title rights. One by one the people Of st.
John moved away, leaving their dwelling and
stores to the will Of the wind and waves. Set
Elements sprang up to the south and the west
Of the deserted village, and the people. during
the height Of winter storms, used to go to a place
near the bluff and watch for some deserted dwell
Ing standing perilously near the edge Of the
embankment to fall with one final crash onto
the water-swept sand below.
Henry Mowers, an old time hunter was a vet
eran OF the residents near the site of the lost
village. Not long after the disa ppearance in the
lake Of the last building Of the Village of st.
John, Mowers took a spade and walked up the
lake shore until he came to the point where
a large part of the site OF st. John had disap-
peared beneath the waves. Mowers trip was
taken up at sunrise, a time when he was not
likely to be Interrupted in his work. He began d
series OF mysterious diggings Just at the base of
the mud cliff. He worked for two hours and
then quit. He returned to his task every morn
Ing for a week, making several new excavations
a foot or two in depth each time. One morning
the spade struck something hard, and in a min
ute Mowers had unearthed an ingot of pure cop
per weighing eighteen pounds. This was worth
having, but it was not what Mowers was after.
He kept on digging for a month, ard at the end
Of that time had secured gold and silver French
and Spanish pieces in value to the amount Of
$24- In addition he found some United States
copper cents and halfcents Of an early date and
one bronze Roman coin Of the period of Nero.
Movers KEEP 81 his york for weeks, but after
unearthing the Roman piece he found nothing
for a long time. He was about to giveup the
work for good. He shouldered his spade and
started homeward. On the sand, glistenins In
the sun at the waters edge, Just as he turned
to go for supposedly the last time. he found two
United States silver dollars minted on one side
