The lure of gold has ever ben the basis for brave exploits and bold ad- venture. and often about it has been woven the enticing web of mystery and myth to add to the zest of it's pursuit. The ancient Argonauts sail ed in search of the mythical Golden Fleece, while the golden apples of the mysterious Hesperides lured on the, giant Hercules. The bold Phoenf- gather a golden harvest, for the mer- chants of Syria, and the old Semitic navigators sailed out from the Red Sea to seek it at Tarshish and in the famed mind of Ophir, whose location is even now a mystery. The Portu- guese, as early as the middle of the 18th century brought gold from the west coast of Africa, and it was to find a sea. route to the gold and spice laden shores of the Far East that Vasco de Cana sailed around the Cape of Good Hope and Columbus finally embarked to venture into unknown seas upon that memorable voyage of 1492
 The discovery of the New World but added a new stimulus to the un- teasing, restless search for wealth, and in the marvellous tales of pearls and Jewels rare and glittering golden or naments decorating simple savages who knew but little of their value, the
  dores saw a glorious land of promise.
 Among the most enticing of these tales was the one the Coquetious In dians told the earliest settlers of the colony of Coro. established by Juan de Ampues in 1527 on the narrow isth- mus that connects the peninsula of Paraguana with the mainland about Lake of Maracay1bo in Venezuela. Ac- cording to their stories. 8 tribe of fierce but wealthy Indians dwelt in the mountains some distance to the south, with whom gold was so abundant that they powdered the whole body of their chief with it's dust
 And thus was started the tale of 'sE1 Dorado the gilded one. a tale which in it's repeated telling grew into the most wonderful fiction but which was founded in it's first instance on a fact, according to the sketch of the life and work of the late AdoIph Bandelier, by Edward ATbes. in the June number of the Monthly Bulletin of the Pan American Union, Washington, D. c.

AMERICAN SHOPS
 BEST FOR WOMEN
tNew York Herald.l

Hotel registers are dotted now with the names of women who are go- ing to London or Paris or have just returned and the quotation of Mrs. T. L. Ellis, of Bridgeport, Conn.,, sent by cable from Paris and published in the Herald yesterday started an expert discussion of silk stockings at hohe and abroad. The women endorse the declaration of Mrs. Ellis that America is a better place to buy silk stockings than Paris or London.
 Mrs, Daniel G. Donovan, of Denver, at the McAlpin. said:
 "I never got in Paris a pair of silk stockings that would wear much more than ten minutes. Now, that does not mean stockinss that cost $10 or more a pair. One can get them just as gVod in Paris as In New York, but that is York come from over there. They are of the same material and work manship, but 1t is better to buy in New York. The foreign manufacturers make different foot shapes and styles for the American trade, and those we best. They are also prettier, as any wonaGn who knows what she is talking about. will tell you. ~

''I leave most of my shopping till come back with the girls every summer about this time and do it in New York If we come through London buy gloves there.

THE REAL LAND OF "EL DORADO"

On this high plain dwelt the agr1- cultural village Indians known as the Muysca- They wove cotton cloth, mined eneraIds, and also salt. These products were exchanged for the gold of other tribes, anad by thrift and in dustry the precious metal was accu- mulated to superfi11ity on table-land of Bogota- On the plateau wore sew eral lakes which were regarded by the Muyascas as holy places Each of them was the supposed seat of a special di- vinfty, to which gold and emera1ds were offered by throwing them into the water. Among these the Lake of Guatavita. became famous. Near the lake lay the village of Guatavitta, whose inhabitants about the year 1890 constituted an independent tribe.
 A legend was current among them that the wife of one of their earlier chiefs had thrown herself into the wa ter to avoid a punishment, and had subsequently, become the goddess of the lake. When new chief of Qua tavita was chosen an imposing cere- moniaI was observed. The male pop ula.tion marched out i'm a long proces- sion to the lake. In front walked ed with red ochre, the sign of mourn ing. Groups followed. richly deco rated with gold and emeralds, their heads adorned with feathers. and braves clothed in jaguar skins. Some went uttering joyful shouts. others blew on horns, pipes and conchs. There were priests in long black robes adorned with white crosses, and tall black caps.
 Behind them came the nobIes Of the tribe and chief pr1estsA bearing the newly elected chieftain upon a barrow hung with disks of gold. His naked body was annodnted with resinous gums and covered all over with gold dust This was the gilded man.
 Arrived at the shore, the g1lded chief and his companions stepped upon a bafsa and proceeded upon 1t to the middle of the lake. There. the chief plunged into the water and washed off his metallic covering, while the assem- ;b1ed company, with shouts and sounds of instruments, threw in the gold and jewels brought as offerings. The cer- ernony completed, the chief returned to the shore and all went back to the village to close the festival with danc- ing and feasting.
 Thus was the occasional ceremonial of primitive tribe of Indians the real basis of legend which passed from tongue to tongue until it lured men from far beyond the seas with the vain hope Of conquest and of spoi1s

The November Century printed a long article called sThe Militant Wo- man and Women," in which the writer an ardent feminist says: tIt was St. ideal for women; nothing invented of man has ever had a more stuItifying effect upon the character and morals of women and of men,
 This frank indictment of the Chris tian ideal of womanhood will cause many people to inquire with interest what is being offered in it's place. That the ideals of some of the young CT suffragists differ radically from those of an older generation has been clearly brou glnt out in a recent article in Earper's Weekly by Winifred liar per Cooler, in which she comments with amusement on the dismay of the middle-aged suffragists at the radical utterances of the younger women in their ranks.
 She says these older women have not kept up with the time-that to them the vote is a fetish, which they want merely to prove their equality ocracy," but that the younger wom en consider the vote the merest tool. a means to an end-that end being a complete social revolution.
 The older women are frightened, she says, lest the old unjust terms of free love- doSCruCC1On or the TaTf11- Iy,'' etc, will injure the cause of suf- frage, but she asks us to rem ernloer that the radicalism of today is the con- servatbve of tomorrow, and proceeds to set forth the beliefs of the younger suffragists.
 They believe that the day is rapidly approaching when ito be supported by a man in return for matrimonial priv ileges or mere general housekeeping or motherhood will be morally re- vo1ting to every self-respe ecting wife 9 They also demand a single standard of morality, but she hastens to add that this is not to be interpreted ar bitrarily as meaning either a strictly puritanical standard or an objection ably loose one.

HUNTING COYOTES
 WITH AN AUTO
CKansas City Star.

thAnSdS OlCy SLaTs
 Last years drouth did not hinder full crops of three things in this 1o- cality (yVal1ace, an.)-grasshoppe turkeys and coyotesHand each crop fin its turn has been harvested. The turkeys gathered the grasshoppers, the coyotes harvested the turkeys, and now comes E. J. GuiIbert of near here and gamers the coyote crop and threatens to eztinguish the breed in this section.
 The outfit for harvesting the coyote consists of one motor car and three Russian wolfhounds. The Hounds are placed in the car and the ex-represen- level acres of Smoky Hill ranch. When the coyote is stjumped" he turns the pack out and tries to keep in sight of them with his motor cars while the dogs are overhauli1ag the gray streak
 It is not always possible to keep in sight for motor car going 80 miles an hour is losing ground in a race like this. However, the end comes quickly if the lead of the coyote is not too great and he goes down in a tum- bling mass of gray and white, from a badly used peit.
 The scalp brings a bounty of $1 The pelt is worth as high as $5. The kEhree dogs have caught 21 coyotes this winter thatsbrought MT. GuiTbert $10O for belts and scalps.
 nNext year he believes the turkey .crop will be harvested about Novern- ber in the conventional and approved way. for the coyotes are getting scarce in that locality. Incidentally, the sport of kings is also growing scarce, which fact is bemoaned by MT. GuiTbert with just cause. for hunting coyotes with gasoline and ~wolfhounds is royal fun
