BOOKMARKS OF EVERY KIND
Strip Of Bacon About the Most Unique
That Des Moines Librarian Has
Yet Found.

The most startling marker that For
est B. Spaulding, public librarian OF
DcS MOines, Iowa, has come across in
the books that have circulated from
the library was strip OF underdone
bacon. The most ordinary boOlimnrk
found in the books IS the common va
ricty of wire hairpin. Hairpins might
be collected by the hundreds. Mr..
Spaulding says, but owing to that
very fact they are. considered as fair

The vacation season Is announced
annually by the presence Of snapshots
in the returned books. These are both
personal or otherwise In character,
Postcards and letters, too. come In
often. Frequently letters addressed
and stamped are found just as they
were left by the book borrower who
doubtless was proceeding postofiice-
ward by way Of the library. These are
mailed from the library.
Mr. Spaulding has noticed any num-

ALASKANS ARE MAKING GOOD
They Show Marke' Inclination Toward
Good Citif ship and
Patri SIN.

What the AlaSi natives are doing
and are willing L. 10 as woof posi-
tive of their fitnc TO live under the
Stars and Stripes Impressed on all
who come in cont; with the r"t'vrS
and their numerous ucliNli.rs u.u..,
lines OF advanced citizenship and pa
triotism.
BY way of Il minor Illustration that
shows which way the wind blows with
them: The natives in Juneau, through
the prrSS, advocated the killing OF
dogs, That there might be more food
for human consumption. They adj
vised their native friends to protect
the der from their dogs that might
kill uprr during their helpless con
dition following this last winters
deep SHOWS, when many starved and
all were weakened for lack Of food.
Down ut Kakc the natives have only
about one-third to one-quarter the
number of dogs that they had last
year. One who went through the
village last fell and again this spring
remarked on the fact that there were
almost no dogs in town.
Yes. Snld representative cll-
zen, "thc natives became convinced
that from Il sanitary standpoint and
an economical standpoint they were
keeping too many pets. AS Il result
Of this conviction they began reducing
on dogs and Improving on health and
food supply"
Another point that imprcsseS even
a casual observer is that the natives
all take local newspapers and read
carefully-oft"n very Sl0wly-thc
events that are taking place locally
and throughout the world. IF a native
is not n regular subscriber to Il ncwS-
pn ner YOU may be sure it is bCcauS"

GOLD IN GRIP OF NEPTUNE
Hope Renewed That Millions Lost In
Treasure ships May Be Brought
to the Surface.

Somewhere in the sea Off the coast
Of Zululand lies the ship Dorothea,
which went down on Tenedos reef,
carrying with her. so some people be-
lIcvc. part of the fortune Of Dom Paul
;>ruscr, once president Of the Trans
vaul, and rumor has it that plans are
nfOot to fit out British expedition
in the hope of salvaging her. The
war has improved methods of salvag-
Ing Sunken ships md, If the DOrOthea
really carried it, the gold cemcntcd
into the hold of the vessel has been
estimated at over S3000,0O0. Before
the war syndicate was organized to
attempt recovery Of the vessel, and
unsuccessful efforts were made to To-
cate her; now the project is again pos
siblc-perhapS all the more so, because
| time has accumulated so many treas
| lre ships which are again under dis
cuSSion. A list recently published in
| cludcS: The GroSvcnOr. lost on the
Pendoland coast. with $S,750,OOO; the
AriStOn, in Marcus bay, with $4,000
600; the Birkcnhcnd. on Birkenhead
reef, with S3,900.OO0; the DorOthca, on
Tenctlos reef, with S3,250,0O0; the
Abrrcrombie, with 100000; the Mere
stein. with 100000, and the Thunder
! bolt, with $2,75O000. If sunkcn
treasure enterprise falls of one treas
ure ship, perhaps 1t can find another.
SO far, however, the sen has proved n
miser with the gold 1t has acquired ;
may the modern improvements in sal
vnging equipment change the habit.
