when payment was made to the Span
ish king of the royal fifth part of the
treasure the stones were kept by the
conqueror as part of his own share" "
-"Dost thou know then, or does any
man know, what afterward became of
the stones?"
The old man leaned forward in his
eagerness, turning toward the sound
of Kynaston's voice. His interest was
obvious.
Dorothy and Mrs. Fame took no
pains to hide their interest now.
1T was said, of course-what thou
knowest-that the emeralds were ta-
ken home by him to Spain. and that
when he married a second time he
gave these to his wife. The queen
had hinted that she herself was not
unwilling to receive as gift these
most wonderful stones.
They were, senor. as Gomara says,
like this: One in the shape Of great
rose, the second a fish with eyes OF
gold, the third an emerald cup, and
the fourth a mans head with ruby
eyes set in the green surface. With
none Of these. senior, are we con
cerned.
THE fifth and the most beautiful
of all was great bell, made Of solid
emerald, that stood. perhaps-so they
tell me, at least, for how can blind
man see?-the height of mans
thumb; carved, mark thee, from the
solid emerald-the tongue is made Of
pear-shaped pearl, and about the
base, carved and set most probably by
some skilled workman of Seville, these
words, let into the jewel in letters OF
gold:
Blessed is he who created thee"
But, padre, we all know-the world
knows-that when Cortez went with
his king-Charles-t fight the Moors
he took the stones with him, and when
he was wrecked at sea off the AL
geciras coast the stones were lost

tongue softly.

After q series OF careful experiments
and tests at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, covering
many years-Dr. Pierce, the medical d.
rector of that hospital, made announcement
that he could prove that medicine which
he called "ANURIC' was the best uric
acid solvent now to be had. As rem
edy for those easily recognized symptoms
of infammation-as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as, well as
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciatica, gout, it is simply wonder
full how quickly "Anuric" acts; causing
the pains and stiffness rapidly to disap-
pear.
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
a dropsical condition. often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the

II is just as necessary TO keep the kid
neys acting properly as to keep the bow
els active.
The very best possible way to take care
Of yourself is to take glass Of hot water
before meals and an "Anuric" tablet. In
this way it is readily dissolved with tho
food, picked up by the blood and finally
reaches the kidneys, where it has tonic
effect in rebuilding those organs.
Step into the drug store and ask for q
5O.cent package of "Anuric," or send DR..
Pierce l0c for trial pckg. "Anuric' many
times more potent than lithia, eliminates
uric acid as hot water nelts sugar. A short

of convenience to the frequenters and
patrons of the State library has just
been put in operation there-the index
ing Of the steel cases on the main floor
of the library. 1t has been necessary
in the past for all callers at the libra
ry after books to ask some Of the per-
sons on duty where they might find
the works they were looking for. That
will now in a large degree be obviated
for brass cardholders, containing cards
giving in a very complete manner the
contents of the cases. have been attach
ed to each of the so steel racks.
The classification of the books in the
State library is in four sections: law
Congressional documents: State Depart
ment reports and general literature
The latter section is Sub-divided into
the following: General works; Philoso-
ply; Religion; Sociology: Natural Sci
ence; Useful Arts; Fine Arts; Litera-
ture: History.
The new system Of indexing will en-
able anyone to find without trouble the
location Of the class of works they may
be seeking and the rest will be easy.

Bangor Commercially

Lumber operators on the ST. John and
cut after a very successful season as far
as numbering conditions were concerned.
There has been an abundance of snow
all winter and everything has tended to-
wards quick work on the part of the
woodsmen, who have not been hindered
by disastrous thaws or anything of the
kind.
Although most of the operators had de-
cided to curtail their cut considerably
owing to the poor condition of the lum-
Der market early in the season and as a
matter of fact the cut will not be more
than so per cent of last years, all opera
tors have cut as much as they planned
and one operator, Arthur l.. Noble of
Fredericton. has cut million more than
he planned.
Since November, when the operators
started. there has been considerable
change in the lumber market, the slump
of many months standing having ended
and an upward trend started which has
materialized into a greatly increased de-
mand for lumber and much better prices
After a period of decentralization, this
new condition of things is very welcome
indeed and taken with the good hauling
conditions that are now prevailing, they
are very much inclined to be encoura ged
over conditions.
The total cut on the waters referred to-
is 50, 100000 feet. a million of which will
be cedar. Much of this lumber will be
manufactured at Van Buren, by the ST.
John Lumber Co, that FIRMS cut being
80, 900 900 feet. of which 19.5C0,o 900 feet will
go down the st. John river to Stetson,
Cutler & Co. at st. John. The remaining
million. Of cedar, was cut by ST. Francis
operators and will be manufactured in
local mills there
The following figures represent the ap-
proximate cut:
