Queer Hiding Places for Money.

People who diStruSt banks hide their
gold in curious places, and many of
these strange hiding places were re-
vealed as the people brought out their
money to invest it in the British war
loan. One woman hid her savings be-
meath her mothers tombstone. In an
other instance a parcel of banknOtes
was found some time ago in hole in
the belfry of Ely. Nottingham castle
was also a popular place for the treas
ure of hoarders. But one of the most
extraordinary methods adopted was
that of vault keeper in one of Eng
lands large cities. Within the folds
of ancient documents, seldom, if ever,
referred to, was discovered seven thou

The Good Old Ways.

There are always conservative souls
who cling to the good old ways. Our
grandmothers were famous cooks in
their day, and we shall never forget
how delicious the old-fashioned dishes
tasted to our childish palate. In our
search for novelty we should be fool
ish TO neglect the achievements of past
generations. 1t is worth while to hold
fast TO the old favorites, as well as to
revive some that are well-nigh forgot

AUNT CAROLINE KICKS
AT BEING IMPOSED
UPON.

There Is not much in the laundry
business but hard work, and when
this work is done by two tired arms
instead of the machinery Of the up
to-date system, You may expect
few cuss words thrown III with the
'bluing. And that isn't all. When
you pay the old colored woman who
brings the washing home, you must
remember that she not only charges
you for the bluing but for the cuss
words, too; and she's entitled to It.
for there is more risk TO the colored
woman who does your washing than
being responsible for the pieces she
puts in your neighbor's bundle, or
the odd sock that wasn't put in, or
the red that ran from somebody's
gown into your husbands white pa
jamas. These are trifles. II you

found Secretary Martin of the Merid-

charts showing the logs OF oil wells
that have made millions for their
stockholders, charts that are issued
by the United States from the de-
partment of the Geological Survey.
He smiled as he looked up. II was
just thinking" he said, what little
difference there is between these
logs and the log of our we'll at Sui
phur Springs, and wondering it there
would be as little difference in the
amount of oil, should we strike it..
Fine: but when are you going to

at less than 5000 feet. We are now
3O12 feet. We brought up shale
and pyrite and fossils. We have
struck gumbo from three to ten feet

found little crude oil. These are
pretty good Indications, although
they do not prove that oil will be
