FOUND GOLD LONG HIDDEN
Ancient Prophecy Fulfilled But Puzzle
Concerning the Earliest Celtic
People 7emains.

The quantity of pure gold ornaments

parts OF Scotland is one OF the puzzles
Of the civilization of the ancient Celtic
peoples. says the duke OF Argyll
Where did they obtain enough gold to
make the twisted wire, the bracelets
with the open space between the
spoonlike ends? Did they obtain the
metal by barter with strangers, and, II
so. what could they give in exchange
for so much bullion?
In Sutherland, of late years, gold in
tiny scales has been found In the
sands. 1t is strange that the objects
in gold are usually large. Few small
ornaments in this most precious metal
have been recovered. | knew of one
hoard recovered. and, although the
legend that it existed had currency
among the people for some time, II had
aever been searched for, and was OBJ

bottom of valley.
1t had probably been dislodged by
some volcanic upheayal from a cliff
which overlooked this valley. There 1t

connected with II, but the story was
treated as an old wife's "havers," and
40 man had dug to find out the truth.

On the afternoon OF October IA,
176s. George Washington stepped into
the private office OF his good Philadel-
phia friend and dentist, Silicum Stra-
dies. Twas an elegant fall afternoon
and Chestnut street was alive with
colonial damsels out In their new furs.
"Good-day. friend George" quoth
the dentist. as he finished polishing a

up a cleaning crowbar.

with forced laugh 'Ha, ha, Silicum,
my feet brought me here, to be sure,
Well, | am glad TO have seen you, I'm

Outside on tina pavement he held his
hand to his aching jaw and murmured
guilty: "Ah, well, just one little lie

LIVING for others.

II probably never occurs to a young
man or woman that he or she is hard
TO live with. That is phrase we
always, somehow, use about other peo-
pie. But why? Why not occasionally
consider whether the difficulties we
complain OF may not be partly the re-
suit OF our own sharp angles and self
ish wills? The art of living with 9TH
ers is largely The art Of living for 9th
