INDIAN KNEW WHERE TO DIG
Considerably Mystifled Residents
Of Missouri Town.

The region about Charlottesville,
Mo-, is rich In lore about hidden gold
and silver and mounds rich with pot
terry. Too, there ares great. strange
caves to be found Whereabouts, never
ending subjects for speculation and
wonderment. say the Kansas City
Star.
A few years ago an Indian went to
Charlottesville with several skin maps
and dug up pottery that was worth
several thousand dollars. He offered
$500 to be allowed to dig into one
mound near the town. However, the
owner decided that II the mound was
worth so much money for explora-
ton purposes he would do the explor-
ing. He did and found nothing.
Some time later the Indian returned
to that section, hired man with
wagon and team and drove out into
the country to a spot where three
pecan trees grew In triangle. He
dug down and unearthed two boxes,
so heavy that a man could not lift
one end of either. He had them
shipped away and to this day their
contents is a much discussed mystery
of that locality.

French Train Operation Poor.

The French method of train opera
ton differs sharply from the Ameri-
can. In the United States 1t Is Gus
tomary TO move the trains by means
of the block signal system, under the
orders of train dispatchers. In France
the chef de care, sort of sublimated
station agent, is supreme. He is in alb
solute charge of all trains that pass
through his station and of the allot-
ment of cars within his district. A
through train having reached his sta
ton, II cannot leave without his per-
mission. This practice brings about
such condition that fewer trains are
operated over a French double-track
line than could be handled over an
American singletrack line equipped
with block signals and dispatchers.

Snort In AaifI

Boosters that crow night and day
and have no sense of proportion at ALL"
Is the way William Almon Wolff de-
scribes Haiti's only fowl of any i'm
portance, In an article in Golfers. In
addition he accuses them of not being
educated, like the mass of the. popu.
lation," and of being ignorant of the
fact shat a cocks business is to let
an unobservant world which wouldn't
notice the phenomenon itself, know
that the sun has risen" "When It
comes to cock fighting in Haiti" Mr..
Wolff writes, "the rooster plays a very
important role. Sunday afternoon is
the great time for that" he says "and
all day Sunday you may see sporting
Haitlans going about with a gamecock
or two under their arms. There are
two rings In Port au Prince: thousands
of men gather there every Sunday af.
ternoon and bet on their favorites
Haitian cockfighting Is not n very bru-
tai affair; the birds aren't spurred. 1t
Is the custom for the owner of the los
ing rooster to cry quits before much
damage Is DONE"

FIsherman's Mascot

A mascot to which deep-sea fisher
men attach great importance is a tiny
fiat stone or bone found In the ear Of
plaice and other fish. The wearer Of
one of these stones is supposed to be
immune to the danger Of drowning.
It is easy to find these stones In the
ears of fish, although they are no big
ger than a split lentil. Anybody who
cares to look for one and to examine
II will see on Its surface light and dark
rings similar to those found on a
larger scale In tree trunks. The num-
Der of rings tells the age of the fish,
rs new ring appears each year.

BEGAN Life In coaIpit.

Sir Joseph Cook. the minister Of the
Australian navy and one of the COM
monwealth's delegates to the peace
conference, began life In a coalpit in
Staffordshire, England. While work
ing miner he sought to improve his
education In every way, and in his
spare moments in the pit acquired a
knowledge of shorthand. At the age
of twenty-five he decided to try his
luck in Australia and went to New
South Wales in 1885. He obtained
work in a mine near Sydney and took
an active interest In promoting the
welfare of his fellow-workers. He
then became secretary of the local
miners union and this proved the step
ping-stone to political life.

Wood for Cotton.

Wood is now being converted by a
new process into a substitute for alb
sorbent cotton-a product which Is be-
Ing supplied to the government by one
mill at the rate of several tons day.
This absorbent wood is of great value
in covering and stanching open
wounds.
The wood is ground up and then
spun or rolled out into pure white
sheets resembling cotton batting, and
is so light and bulky that only about
1000 pounds of II can be packed in
an ordinary box car. This substance
costs 2S cents a pound.

serted, to Hold the Seams
In Hosiery.

1t Is surprising how much Of the past
still remains. more especially In regard
to the clothes we wear
On the backs of most gloves will be
found three thin strips. These marks
correspond to the fourchette pieces
between the fingers. In earlier times
gloves were not made so neatly as
they are today, and the stitching of
the fingers was carried down part of
the way on to the back of the glove,
braid being used to conceal the seams.
To a practically similar reason does
the clock on a sock owe Its origin, says
London Answers. In the days when
stockings were made Of cloth the
seams occurred where the clocks are
now displayed. the decoration being
utilized to hide the seams.
The little bow which will invariably
be found In the leather band inside
a mans hat Is survival of the time
when a hat was made by taking a
piece of leather. boring two holes
through 1t and drawing 1t together with
a piece of string.
Handkerchiefs were not always
square. At one time they were shaped
to the users fancy. 1t CHANGED that

rie Antoinette, who suggested one win

harbor OF Copenhagen. keeping true

sells. He explains this by claiming the
possession of a sixth sense"
Knudsen Is man Of middle age.
When he came to Denmark from Chris
tiania, he became at once an object of
interest to both scientist and layman.
He was put through many experiments
by one Of the leading nerve specialists
Of Europe, and as a result the spe-
cialist suggested the trip into the har-
Dor. Knudsen said that he could guide
himself anywhere without using his
eyes, and a steamer was chartered to
put him to supreme test. Knudsen
had no knowledge of the harbor. He
requested that a person knowing the
channel should hold two finges-tips
against the side of his head. Profess
sor Fridenrelch consented to this, and
himself pressed two f1nger-tips against
Knudsen's temples.
The man handled the wheel without
a sign of nervousness or uncertainty.
1t was impossible for him to see. yet
he took more than a dozen sharp cor
ners and followed a zigzag course
throughout. All the scientists who
witnessed the demonstration said that
Knudsen possesses a mysterious pow
er that actually may be sixth sense.

IMPORTANT DATE IN HAWAII
Modern History Of Islands May Be
Said to Have Begun on oc-
tober 23, 1919.

The one hundredth anniversary Of
the departure of the first missionaries
from the United States to the Sand
wich islands, as they were then known,
will be celebrated at Honolulu, Octo-
Der %. On that date in the year 1919,
the brig Thaddeus, Captain Hunnewell,
sailed from Boston for0 Hawaii. The
vessel anchored at Kailua, Kona,
Island Of Hawaii, April 5, 1920, and the
missionaries landed that day to begin
their work of civilizing the natives and
converting them to Christianity. Those
who arrived in Hawaii on the Thadde-
us were Asa Thurston and Hirman
Bingham, ordained missionaries, with
their wives; Daniel Chamberlain,
Thomas Holmes, Samuel Whitney,
Samuel Ruggles, Elisha Loomis and
four Hawaiians-Honolii, Hopu and
Kanui-who had received some educa-
ton at Cornwall institute, and George
Humohumo, son Of Kaumuali, the King
of the Island of Kauai. The Hawaii
ans had been taken to the United
States in trading vessels. Traders and
whalers had been visiting Honolulu for
some years before the arrival of the
missionaries, but it is from the latter
event that the modern history Of Ha.'
waii dates.

LED TO RESCUE BY DREah,
Tug Captains Confidence in Vision
He Had Proved Fortunate for
Two Fishermen.

Guided by a dream, Capt. Adam
found two men who had been drifting
about helpless in a broken motor
launch for four days. The rescue was
just in time to save the mems lives,
for the feet of one were frozen and the
others hands were frOStbitten and
they were exhausted from cold and
hunger.
Captain Paczocha had his dream
while taking nap at his home in Mil
waukee one afternoon. When he
awoke he described to his family how
he had seen launch drifting about
helpless in the storm-swept lake and
how he had swung his boat alongside
and saved two men.

captain, after telling of the dream vi

He set out the next morning and by
midafternoOn he had located the
launch. The two men in the launch
were George Costigan and Joseph Bud
siecz, Jones Island fishermen who had
met with misfortune while out hauling
in their nets. Driven about by a sud
den storm that arose ON the lake they
sought to make shore until the gaso-
line engine in the launch gave out
Then they drifted about helpless.
The rescued mems first request was
