Death Of Death.

The time may not be far off when
to lose friend by death will be hard
ly more than to have him cross the
ocean; when our own passing will be
merely the happy setting sail for a
new country. It may be- that in the
great war, which has furnished an
orgy such as the world has never be-
fore seen, death as we have known it
In all it's agony of parting and I'M
certainty, has at least been glutted to
the full, has reached its climax, and
must hereafter diminish.
o people Of the world all things
have died! It may be that now at
last death itself is dying From the
Atlantic Monthly.

HIS TREASUR WAS A ROCK
overjoyed at Supposed Good Fortut.4,
q kentuclian Tainted When PIow
Struck Hard Object.

For generations tradition has de.
creed that the Indians in the aborig-
inal days of Kentucky buried a pot Of
gold on the farm OF John Williams in
Casey county. A few days ago Mr.,
Williams decided to institute a system
attic search for the treasure, the Davis
vile (Ky.) Messenger states. His pow
erful team of mules he hitched. to a
strong pillow and i'll the locality where
the gold is supposedly be hidden he
began digging deep into the earth. It
always has been claimed that the pot
is of gigantic proportions. After con-
siderable deep blowing had been done
and numerous excavations made, Mr..
Williams mules came to sudden
standstill when the pillow struck an OBJ
ject that could not lie moved.
SO, certain that he had found the
traditional pot, he was overjoyed and
tainted. Passers-by hurried to his as
sistance and he was survived, and told
those present what he was seeking.
An excavation was made and it was
proved the pillow had struck a huge
rock. However, the search is being
continued.
There are a number Of farms in
Boyle county upon which it is alleged
large quantities of silver and gold are
buried. In most cases it is said to
have been hidden by misers or fright
ened people during war times. Not
few early residents lost their lives
by keeping their money in their homes
and attempting to hold it against the
intrusion of robbers. That was one
reason treasures were buried.
Some years ago some parties near
Paint Lick, in Garrard county, in
wrecking an old house found several
thousand dollars which had been hid
den during war times. The man who
had hidden the money died without
telling the secret.

MistIetoe Was Ancient Panacea,


Numerous curious and ridiculous su.
perstitions as to methods Of prevent
ing disease we're believed in years ago,
and are not altogether extinct even
today, it is said. 49,, ......
Much ancient faith clustered about
the mandrake root, which was carved
in the form Of a doll, dressed in fine
clothes, and kept in box or coffin con-
cealed in some corner of the house.
Each month it was washed in wine
and water and freshly CARRIED.
Another universal cure was to carry
q: piece of mistletoe which had been
cut from a tree by a golden sickle and
caught in a white vessel as it fell.
Metal scraped from a church bell or a
piece of the rope was supposed to have
a similar protective influence against
disease, as also cloth stained in the
blood Of a murderer, or the rope with
which he was hanged.

Garden \
Question
Corner
Editors note E. F. Murphy.
civic gardener, will answer all
questions about your garden in
The Palladium; write to him.

Mr.. E. F. Murphy:
My potatoes have come through the
ground. What is the first thing l
should. OR. A.
Answer-If you have a large patch,
run harrow over the ground with
teeth slanted slightly. Disregard the
potato plants when narrowing. You
may cover few plants up by this
method of cultivation. These plants
will come through the dirt again. This
cultivation will add several bushels to
your potato crop. II you have a small
backyard garden, accomplish the same
results by the use of rake.
Dear Mr. Murphy:
Is Bordeaux mixture for killing po-
tato bugs?-H. A. p.
Observation-Disclosures mixture is for
fungus diseases such as potato blight.
early blighD and late blight and
rot. At the same time one is con-
trolling potato blight by the use of
Bordeaux mixture. he may kill the
potato bugs by adding arsenate of lead
or Paris green to the Bordeaux mix
ture, thus accomplishing two purposes
with only one operation. Use 2 ounces
of Paris green or n pound of arsenate
of lead to Is gallons of the Bordeaux
mixture.
