RICH Vein OF GOLD
IS FOUND IN Wales
Problem Is Whether the King
Will Claim 1t as of
Yore.

The discovery of rich vein Of gold
near yarmouth, Wales, bids fair to re-
vive the old question as to whom do
the mines containing gold belong?
Gold has been discovered in the
Welsh hills at many places in the past,
but it has seldom been worked for
tong. The discovery usually has been
followed by a claim from the crown
for the greater part of the product,
md the miners have not found the
business paying one.
Some years back Mr.. Prichard Nor
gan invested a considerable sum in de-
veloping some of these mines, but the
authorities claimed the greater part
of the output, and though the gold
seeker sought the aid of the courts he
lost his case on the ground that all
gold was the property of the king.
Since that period little attention has
been given to these gold bearing dis
;ricts. Just before King George mar
ried Queen Mary a certain amount Of
work was done with the object Of coll
.ecting enough Welsh gold to make
he wedding ring.
The new discovery Is said to yield
quartz giving two ounces of gold per
:on. The question now is, viii the
King grant license to work the de-
oosit on terms that will allow the pro-
noters to be repaid for their expands
ture of capital and labor costs2

Decorated Gloves,

We are told that decorated gloves
are to be one of the eXtravagances of
the coming season, and that turns the
thoughts very far back to when gloves
were a most elaborate and important
part of a costume. Queen Elizabeth
that lover of fine raiment, had several
wonderful pairs embroidered In gold
and even precious stones, while hawk
ing gloves were miniature works Of
art. The sterner times of Cromwell
banished such frivolities, but intro
duced the leather fringed gauntlet,
which had revival last winter The
dainty danes of the Georgian period
had embroidery on their gloves and
carrying the idea yet further, had
those cOquettish lace mittens which
lasted well into Victorian times.

MADE FAST FRIEND
How Dr.. Lyman BeecHer Won
Over Bitter Enemy.
Personal Contact Converted Old Neigh
Dor, Who Had Been Violently op-
posed to Him, Into One of
His Enthusiastic Admirers.

The surprising effect personal con-
tact sometimes has in our estimation
of persons against whom we had pre-
viously maintained prejudice is well
illustrated in the following humorous
story of Lyman Beecher, the preacher.
"While Mr. Beecher was settled in
Boston he had as ne.ghbor an old
wood sawyer, a rough, shrewd man.
the member of a rival sect, who al
though he had never seen the doctor,
was violently bitter against him. Mr..
Beccher himself had formed habit
Of saving great deal OF wood as an
exercise for maintaining his health.
He was as faStidious In the care of
his saw as musician in the care of
his Cremona. No moments were hap
pier with the famous clergyman than
those spent in the careful filing of its
teeth.
Looking out of his study window
one day, when his own woodpl" was
reduced to a diScOuraging state of or
der, Mr. Beecher saw with envy the
pile of the before mentioned neghbor
Forthwith he seized his saw and soon
the sawyer of the street opposite be-
held q man without cravat and in his
shirt sleeves issuing from Brother
Becchers house, who came br;Skly up
and asked If he wanted n hand at the
pile. The doctor fell to work and
soon proved to his brother sawyer that
he was no mean hand at the craft
"Nodding his head significantly at
the opposite house, the old sawyer
said: You live there?
"B-Yes.
"S-Work for the old man?
"B-Yes.
"S-What sort of an old fellow Is
he?
"B-Oh, pretty much like the rest
Of us. Good man enough to work for
"S-Tough old chap, aint he?
'B--Guess so, to them that try to
chaw him up
"S-F'irst rate saw, that of your'n.
"This touched the doctor in q ten
der point. He had set that saw ms
carefully as the articles Of his creed:
every tooth was critically adjusted.
and so he gave smile Of triumph.
az say" said the old sawyer, where
can | get saw like that?'
"B-I don't know unless you huy
mine.
"S-Wil you trade? What do you
ask?
"B--I don't know: I'll think about
IT, Call ut the house tomorrow and
I'll tell you.
"Thc next day the old man Knocked
and met the doctor at the door. fresh
from the hands of his wife, with his
coat brushed and cravat tied. going
out to pastoral duty. The sawyer gave
a start of surprise.
con sad the doctor. you're the
man that wanted to buy my saw.
Well. YOU shall have 1t for nothing:
only let me have some of your wood
to saw when YOU work on my street
"'Be hanged said the old sawyer.
when he afterward told the story, If
7 didn't want To crawl into an augcr
hole when I found it was old Beecher
himself I had heen talking with so
frank the day before
at need scarcely he said that from
that time the sawyer was one of the
Doctors stoutest and most enthusiasts
tic advocates: not word would he
hear against him. He affirmed that
