this mannerftreasure to the amount or

Many attempts were made to recov-

Spaniards go years ago. They trled
to drain off the waters of the lake. but
their engineering skill was not equal
to the task. When they had drawn
off all but ten feet of ths water they
were compelled to give up their pro-
iect and take to dredging instead.
They did succeed in recovering small
part Of the treasure in this way.
The most modern attempt was made
twenty years ago by company OF

From the time he was six Walter
Scott read ravenously, and it was
tLTcIGh his wide reading that when
only fifteen he became for a few mo-
mcntS the center of group of learned
men. 1t was when the poet Burns Wis
ited Edinburgh and had shown great
interest in a picture of soldier lying
dead in the snow with dog keeping
patient watch beside him.
Beneath the picture were some beau
tiful lines, but neither Burns nor any
of those learned men knew their au-
Ehor until young Walter Scott. who
happened to be present. whispered
that they were by Langhorne.
Then Burns turned to him, with
glowing eyes, and said. 1T is no com
men course of reading that has taught

lad will be heard of yet"

Joe Jefterson's Story of the Man Who
Helped His Parents.
The late Joe jefferson told this story
of his childhood days:
''When my parents were travelling in
the west we had "a hard time to get
along, meeting with bad luck in town
after town. Finally we came to lit
tie village in Illinois and prepared to
give the play. However, the people OF
this town had recently turned against
the theater, and the license was far
beyond what we could pay. We were
almost in despair, for our situation
was desperate. not enough money to
give our play in the town where we
were and not enough to get to the next
town.
Finally my father found young
lawyer who listened to his story with
sympathy and promised to help us.
He succeeded in getting US a permit to
play free of cost. We made good
money that night, which carried US on
to the next town in comfort.
u recently played in this same town,
which is now the good sized city of
Springfield, and l visited the cemetery
where that young lawyer now lies.
