Liohtnina Uncovered Crown.

OF stories collected by Mr.. Shirley
In connection with the present war,
says the London News, none is more
singular than one having reference TO
the emancipation of Poland
When the Prussians took possession
Of Cracow in 1904, the Polish king
dom ceased to exist. The king OF
Prussia coveted the traditional diadem
Of Poland's kings for his own adorn-
ment. 1t had, however, disappeared
mysteriously and the Prussian king
was baked of his wish.
In January, 1914, seven months be-
fore the world war broke out, Sc
we're thunderstorm broke over Cracow
and stately elm close to the city
was shattered by lightning. Its fall
brought to light secret treasure
which had lain buried ut its roots for
1913 years, the longlost crown of Po-
land. Some of its jewels were loose,
and fell to the ground as II was picked
up, but none was missing.
