GOLD lies BURIED
Treasure Hidden in Texas Not
Found by SeareherS.
Spanish Loot Was Obtained Durinu
Victorious March of Mexicans
Under Santa Anna in 1886.

One of the stories of buried treasure
known to every old Texan, and par
ticularly to Mexicans, is that relating
to vast sum in Spanish gold and Jew
elry buried at the root of tree near
what is now Summit Place.
The story deals with the victorious
march Of the Mexican troops under
Santa Anna in 1886, when, after the
Alamo and after GOliad, they went to
meet the little band of Texas patriots
at San Jacinto. On the march follow
ers OF the Mexican leader are said to
have possessed themselves Of money
and jewelry in large quantities. Santa
Anna is declared to have confscated
all this wealth, intending later to re-
store it to its owners.
But Santa Anna never had the op-
portunity. Gen. Sam Houston met the
MeXicans at San Jacinto and before
the sun had set on April 21 the Tex
ans had routed the Mexlcans. Santa
Anna and large part of his forces
were taken prisoners, but not all Of
them. The treasure bearers are said
to have escaped and started for Mex
leo. On arrival at San Antonio, where
news of the decisive defeat of Santa
Anna had been received, they were
afraid to venture farther with their
precious burden.
Beside a gnarled oak to the north Of
San Antonio, some distance from the
Canine RoaI fbo mon oro cold 70 bova
buried the treasure. This oak tree is
known to many, and even at this late
date gold hunters have dug in search
of the pile.
On Salinas street San Antonio, are
two ramshackle huts accredited with
holding a fortune of gold and silver.
One of them, at least seveQty-five
years of age. was once the haunt Of a
band of French freebOOters, whose
leader wore huge black beard. These
men, the legend says, used to absent
! themselves from San Antonio for days
! at a time, and their return always CO.
! incided with stories of wagon trains
being held up and looted. The re-
/ port says they buried much of their
/ loot in the floor of the adobe hut, and
I searchers for it have appeared off and
on for half a century. The most re-
cent was half-Indian medicine man,
who came there from San Marcos
about three years ago. The man car
ried a divining rod and sought to To-
cate the treasure by its means. The
, various holes he and others dug are
still visible.

Health of Prisoners.

Those who study prisons and try to
find out why men get there will be in
terested in this news from New York
city. Out of 1000 men of military age
registered on June 5 in penal institu-
tions of that city less than per cent
were physically fit for service. In
Blackwelrs Island prison not one was
fit for the army. Every one was a
physical discard. A great many per-
sons who have studied such things
much will say that perhaps the physi-
cal condition of these young men may
be the chief reason for their presence
in prison. And most of us feel quite
sure that fine, healthy bodies and nor
NAL minds are most likely to keep their
owners out of prison. 1t is with some
satisfaction that we reflect upon the
fact that this war will do a great deal
to make human bodies stronger and
healthier-and to that extent make
prisons useless.-Illinois State Jour-
nal.

ARTISTS FAMOUS AS WRITERS
Several of the Most Noted NoVeIIsts
Deserted the Brush for Lit
erary Work.

Several artists Of note have been
known to desert the brush for the pen.
and when they have died they have,
left their mark behind them as lit
erary men, observes an exchange. VII
liam de Morgan did this. He wrote
the longest set of novels since Dicl--
ems and Thackeray "ceased firing" al
though he was an old man when hel
took to the pen. George du Maurier
was an artist who turned author after
making European fame with the pen;
Gil as a satirist of society. He sudden
ly startled the world with "Trilby," .,
and set two continents comparing feet,
With him novel-writing seemed his true
forte, but he had started too late. He
only enjoyed his new fame few years.
Even Thackeray tried art before he.
found his true vocation, and he illus
trated several of his own books even
then. A very piquant story tells of
Thackeray calling on Charles Dickens
to see If he could get the commission
to illustrate one of his earlier novelist
He had not written "Vanity Fair"
thenl
A very distinguished artist-author
was Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who was
supreme In both arts.

"Fuel Administrator Garfield has a
big problem to solve" says the Will
mington Morning News. ''The gov
ernment, of course, can regulate the
price of coal, but that is not the
entire solution. There must be an
increased production of coal. This
country and its allies must have the
coal. Yet it is said that of late the
production of coal has fallen off to a
considerable extent, and speaking ma
tionally the situation is far from sat-
isfactory.
CDR. Garfield has warned the soft
coal operators that he intends to see
that all the coal needed shall be pro-
duced. Without adequate coal our
industries and the people generally
will suffer. The fuel administrator
has clearly indicated the course which
will be followed. The government is
in way regulating coal, but that re-
gulation may and probably will be-
come far more stringent, even drastic.
DR.. Garfield has already notified the
Michigan coal operators that if they
do rot mine coal at the price fixed
by the government the government
itself will operate their properties.
"The government does not want to
commander any more private indus
tries than necessary. But if any
branch of private industry vital to
tie winning of the war should "fall
down" the government would not
hesitate at regulation and comman-
deering. The first and most impor-
tant business of this nation is to win
the war. Every other consideration
must give way to this task. If the
earnestness and determination of the
government is not understood at this
time it will be. for Congress- has
pledged all the resources of the ma
tiOn to winning the war, a more
sweeping pledge than was ever before
made by any other Congress when war
was declared.
cit is therefore q bad time for any
persons or businesses to run counter
to the will of the government. In
