Denis, the good ship lie Peune Henri
was wrecked, and with it the fortune
of Count de Saint Paul. Within sight
of land a munity broke out. Some of
the rough sailormen, maddened with
vigil, work and rum, wanted to coh-
fscate the mysterious treasure in the
big hox.
The captain was a fierce man, who
knew no parley but the pistol. The
natives say he armed himself with all
the pistols in his armory, and he and
his mate and his first officer shot and
killed murderous mutineers until there
were hardly any left to be drowned,
And the Inhabitants base their state
ment upon the tradition that the bodies
of the sailors washed ashore We're rid
died with bullets.
Happily for himself, the Count de
Saint Paul was delayed in the New
World to purchase some presents for
his lady love in Brittany. This saved
his life. He took passage by another
steamer. only to learn when he reached
Brest of the wreck of all his fortune
and hopes.
The woman who, more than anybody
else, is pressing this search for the
lost treasure. is Mile Guillard de Saint
Paul, a collateral descendant of the
emigrant nobleman.

OF all the stories in the Bible, ] like
best, the one where the strangers turned
out to be angels unawaress
whether you know it or not, there are
n great many such angels walking the
F hot foads OF the world today. and its
ptecious seldom any OF them are called
in and invited to stay to dinner, with a
fatted calf killed in their honor, des-
eert set before them and servants stand
| ing back of their chairs ready to serve
them.
Yet
Just the same, these persevering angels
2eird up their loins, in the morning and
set forth on their several pilgrimages,
hoping, hoping, hoping, that this day
they'll be able to demonstrate that the
} 'e of God will set doors wide for them

keeps "open house"

It's the memory of youth that make

And TO what end is all this story? yoa
ask.
Just this:
It a plea to you not to pass a dear
little, old little woman by on the street

Washington Post.
The report written by Lieut. Col Fran
els r. Skunk. and transmitted through
BirgadierGeneral Rossell, chief of the
army engineers was given general ap-
proval by both Secretary Garrison and
General Rossell.
"rhe board has been much impressed
in its examination" said the report, by
the evils OF divided control of the water
courses. The distractions which have
been placed along the various streams
ought never TO have been put there, but
since the control of rivers is in the twi-
light zone between the spheres of federal
and state authority. it developed that
what was anybodys business was no.
body's business, and no effective author
ity has been exercised by anybody"
The board reported that it was not at
present prepared to recommend means
of preventing the occurrence of high
stages in the rivers due to excessive rain

General Rossell suggested that the en-
tire bridge question could be handled by
the army engineers with very small adj
dition to their present forces.
