WHERE EMERALDS COME FROM

Mount Zabarah, in Upper Egypt, is said to have been the source of many emeralds, but centuries have passed since these prolific mines were ex- hausted and modern jewellers must now depend upon the Western Hem isphere for their supply In the spells PiZarrO sent to Spain, so goes the story in the Spanish edition for May of the monthly bulletin of the Pan-A American Union, were found the first fine specimens of American em eralds, and thus was revealed an other source of the manifold wealth of the New World. Perhaps the most valuable single emerald found in modern times is the one in that famous collection of gems owned by the Duke of Devonshire It is said to be D perfect hexagonal crystal. weighing eight ounces and eighteen pennyweights. and two inches in length. It came from the mines of Colombia, and it is this South Am erican republic that furnishes the greatest supply of fine emeralds known to the world today.
 Not that Colombia is the only country that has emerald mines. Ecuador and Peru have contributed their share to the worlds supply. and in the former country the city of ESmeraldas Spanish for emer- alds> takes it's name from the pre- cious stones found in its vicinity Among the Aztec treasures of Mex ico were found emeralds as fine as those of the Peruvian Incas and it is reported that Cortez was offered 40 900 ducats for one of the gems he gathered from the hoard of Monte zuma. The Mexican gems were ex- quisitely cut. and it is from this TOW forming part of the royal col lection of Spain were supposed to have come. In certain parts of Si- beria. India. Salzburg in Austria, Australia. Norway. Brazil. Ireland, and in some areas of the United States limited quantities of the pre- cious stones are found, but the gems of greatest beauty and value are to be had from the MuZo and Sosquez deposits near Bogota the capital of Colombia.
 The Colombian gem exhibits to the highest degree the qualities Q color brilliancy, flawlessness. ant size characteristic of the best eIner

A LEGEND OF THE TRAILING
 ARBUTUS

There is beautiful legend that long ago, when Natures great loom had ceased it's spinning and the flowers blossomed, each one was as signed by the Creator its place to live and grow. Bands of buttercups troOed in yellow waves to the mca = dows. the silent lily's pallid cheek was pressed close to the heaving breast of the water Everywhere bright winged flowers took up their stations on the waiting earth--every- where except on the lonely hills
 Then He who named their places asked softly, Who will be content to dwell in these barren spots?"
 A shy. unheeded blossom answ cred. "Where'er thou sendest me l will abide .l.---
 Then said the Creator: Thy race shall be forever blessed. because thou art content with a Iowly place.
 And still on the tiny, coral tinted flower that blessing abides. Every spring many people eagerly search the hIllsides for the fragrant blossoms oc the humble little trailing arbutus.- Form and Preside.

Washington, March 3.-"None of
these alleged charges has a scintilla
OF foundation in fact, but will be
shown by judicial records and other
wise to be so absolutely false as to be
ridiculous"
That's Judge Daniel T. Wrights
opinion OF the serious and sensational
charges that have been filed against
him with the White House by Wade
II. Cooper, president of the Union Saw
ings and United Savings banks of this
city. Cooper declares his ability, if
impeachment proceedings are brought,
TO substantiate the charges. which he
itemizes carefully. giving names, dates
and other particulars in great detail.
Cooper asserts that Justice Wright
is untitled for his position and ought
to be impeached without delay. He
asserts .hat his experiences with this
Justice caused him to begin an inves-
tigation, the conclusions of which are
the presentation of many pages of
typewritten matter alleging moral,
mental and temperamental unfitness
to remain on the bench.

YOUTH ARRESTED
AS BOMB SENDER
Letter Written to Wife by
Mennerich Told of His Fear
of Baucom.

Decatur, ILL.,, March 3.-John Bau-
com, aged is, was arrested in Sulli-
van in connection with the death of
F. w. Mennerich, VINO was killed on
Sunday by an Internal machine which
had been sent to him through the
mails. Baucom had assaulted Menne-
rich last week, following quarrel.
Baucom is accused in note which
was found near the Mennerich resi-
dence following the explosion. This
letter, which was written by Meme
rich to his wife, but which was not
mailed, explained Mennerich's sus-
picion that the package was ali in
fernal machine, but told of his inten-
ton to try to open it. The letter con-
cluded:
ITO whom it may concern: This is
to state that should this package
prove to be an Internal machine. John
Baucom of Sullivan, ILL.,, is to be held
responsible
A Decatur man who is not yet under
arrest is said to be implicated in the
affairs of Mennerich's wife, who has
been suing for a divorce. This clew
is being followed by inspectors, who
scout the suicide theory.
This man was brought into the case
by a letter which Mennerich wrote to
his wife, in which he said:
81 hope you let your case drop, for
do not believe in divorce, but of course
if it must be, then l can't help it, for
it's you that is doing it and not me.
1 do hope you will be home in few
weeks If 1 just knew you was COM
ing l would have everything fixed
nice. but to think of being here alone,
L have not the heart to do anything"
1t was learned that a man in
Springfield had been writing unsigned
letters to Mennerich, and that wom-
an in Sullivan had been writing un-
signed letters to Mrs. Mennerich in
Springfield.
While the theory that Mennerich
sent the bomb to himself to cover up
suicide is not given credence by Off
cials, it is causing some comment be-
cause of the statement made by
close friend OF Mennerich.
"Mennerich told me much of the
trouble he mas been having with his
wife," this man said. "It was plain that
he thought the world of. her and
would do anything for her. He told me
many times that there was a man in
Decatur that she wanted to marry and
he also told me that he told her she
could marry this man. if she waited
until she got well and out of the hos
pital.
He told me that he was afraid OF
the man in Decatur, that some day he
would take his life.
Il believe the note placing the
blame on Baucom was written to
shield another"
Baucom said there was no reason
why he should attempt to kill Meme
rich.
