The recent capture of the German
cruiser Emden by the Australian
cruiser Sydney calls attention to
Australis's fleet, which is playing a
real part in the present war. I'm
mediately upon the beginning of hos
tilities the war vessels of England's
big colony in the south Pacific began
chasing German merchantmen from
the seas, and captured several valu-
able prizes. Then it began the con-
quest of Germany's island possess
sions in the Pacific, taking practical
ly all of them. While the Australian
fleets successes have been import
ant, its losses thus far have been
negligible.

Unusual Discovery Made by R.

Piece Of Money Is Thought to Be 200
Years old-VaIue Is "One-

An unusual find has been made by
K Z. Fuller in the discovery of very
old coin imbedded deep in a log which
he was saving. Fuller lives near For
t.etn street and Fourth avenue. How
the coin became buried in the wood
is q mystery.
Fuller struck something hard while
saving wood one day this week in
the timber near FOrty-first street.
With a Ratchet the obstruction was
removed. and it proved To be a coin.

a colonial coin Of the original United

the size OF a quarter, IS worn consid-

Mr.. Fuller has opened correspond

that he may ascertain the history of

The trophy is greatly priced by Mr.
Fuller because of the remarkable man
Ter in which II came INFO his posses

as 20 how the coin was placed in the
tree. As the wood had grown about /
l. to a great thickness, il is evident 4
that the money had been in the tree
for a long time. perhaps 200 years !
II may have come into the possession }
Of an Indian through trading with the

of the writeup of a wedding. The
bridegroom was named Gum, son of
Abraham Gum. The girls name
was Smith. The editor turned in the
copy to his Office boy the latest thing
before going to press, then hurried to
the train to be gone two days.
When the paper was printed the
article was headed: "Gunn Smith,
and went on to say that the bride
was arrayed in dress of white
mule,' instead of white null, and
she carried red ''nose'' when the
copy read ''rose." The seditor wrote
that the groom was the well liked
son of A. Gum: the boy set it up
1.-The groom is wall eyed son of a
gun" The editor has never been
able to square it with the Gums and
Smiths, and all of them quit taking
the paper.-EX.
