Mr.. LamOnt's Newspaper Studies
the Tides.

Mr.. THOMAS w. LAMoNT's news
paper, the Evening Post, presents to
its readers political news articles of
Il kind to justify such headlines as
Republican chiefs fear tide may set
in against HARDING" and "Tide is be-
ginning to turn for Cox"
At the moment when these opti-
mistic outgivings were engaging the
attention of the patrons Of Mr.. La
MoNT's newspaper Mr.. LAMoNT's can
didate for President, running on the
Democratic ticket, was stamping the
States of Kentucky and Tennessee,
usually confidently counted In the
Democratic column by Democrats and
Republicans alike.
Perhaps Mr.. LAMoNT's newspaper
means that the Republican chiefs fear
the tide may set in against HARDING
in Florida and that the tide Is turn
ing for Cox in Mississippi.
In truth, 1t is possible that the
Louisiana electors Of President and
vice-President may cast their ballots
for the candidates nominated at San
Francisco.

Mountains of Oklahoma; another is
that 100000 taken in the robbery of
a Missouri Pacific express train In
1884 was buried partly In Oklahoma
and partly in western Missouri. An
apparent confirmation of this last
story was the unearthing of $37, 900
about seven years ago near Clare
more, Oklahoma, by ditch digger,
and the statement Of KIT DALTON, a
member Of the James gang, that this
was the amount buried by the gang
when they were holly pursued by a
posse Of Oklahoma plainsmen under
United States Deputy Marshals.
DALTON said also that the remain
der of the 100000 was carried into
the hills of western Missouri and
buried there. But not cent of 1t,
he declared, was ever recovered by
member of the gang. Missourians
for generation after generation have
sought this treasure, but so far as Is
known no one has ever found it. The
cave in the Arbuckle Mountains, ac-
cording to the legend, was the gangs
real treasure house. At one time
when the authorities became espe-
cially active after series of train
holdups in the Blue Cut, near Kansas
City, JESSE JAMES himself carried the
robbers loot to this cave. All this
treasure was lost to the world, ac-
cording to tradition, when the mouth
of the cave was closed by an ava
lanche several years ago.
There are still many ravines and
caves pointed out where the different
Missouri outlaw gangs concealed the
proceeds Of their robberies. The farm
which Is the scene Of the present
treasure hunt Is merely one Of these,
the place where local tradition says
the money taken in the robbery of
Wyandotte bank was hidden. The
country was swept by a severe storm
the night the loot was buried, and the
character Of the land was so changed
that the robbers themselves could
never identify the spot where they
had cached their spoil.
The woman who owns the farm has
so many applications from treasure
hunters that she has placed their
nuaSt yIpnn "a husiDecs basis "T have
had many diggers out here" she said,
everything from neighbor to pretty
little girls in overalls, who dug Off and
on for two years." For digging rights
she exacts $50 and the agreement that
only one hole can be dug on her farm.
SO far she is the only person who has
recovered any real money. "As for
me-" she said in commenting on treas
ure hunters chances, II do all my
digging for potatoes"

Further Reports on Woman.

Mrs. SAMUEL BARNETT, who Is de-
scribed by a veracious Chicago re-
porter as an English author and social
worker, compels our respect and ad-
miratlon. That she finds american
women very charming and old fash
toned enough 10 carry all the graces
of women Of the Victorian period In
England" implies a compliment which
must crafty all of us; that she is
"glad they have not taken to smoking
cigarettes and to the underdressing
and fast talk which have pervaded
England" records circumstances from
which we may all derive satisfaction
as well as real happiness.
But these pleasing observations are
not the cause of our salutatlon to Mrs.
BARNETT. Our respect for her has its
origin In the fact that, with regard to
certain manners now alleged to be
common among English women and
which are distasteful to Mrs. BARNETT,
abe says:

ditlon among English women but to

4. THE SIGNAL LIGHTS.
Above the majestic swirl and turbid en-
counter
or the traffic currents
Through Fifth avenues serrate-walled Scylla
and Charybdis strait,
That flow now In gray. famous shadow.
And now gush million-spar kling into the sun
shine as molten masses of spangled
sventurin,
Clean powerful signal lamps
To regulate the tidal onsets and milling ed
dies
OF tho rebelious floods.
Lifted on skeleton frames. midway Of the
roadsteads vehement rips.
And dartling varicolored rays.
Dazzlingly unabashed by the full noontide
Like revolving lighthouse lanterns on foam
swept reefs
They fling their imperious commands over
the thronged thoroughfare's turbulent
length.
Now the master tower at Forty-second street
dictates with blazing orange-topaz shaft
Clearway north and south.
Instantly caught and answered by Fiftieth
and Fffty-seventh, Thirty-eighth and
Thirty-fourth street towers.
Till all the traffic of the mighty channel
surges with tidal power
As though to lure of golden magnet suns.
In splendid arrogance Of double chatting
streams.
Then to biood-ruby shift the pharos fires.
Tourniqueting the whole vast artery
For moments halt. before the change to
potent emerald
Cool. limpid sea-green to quench a little the
golden pride and fevered haste
That frees the cross-town currents
For their impetuous cleavage east and west.
And I. enthralled beholdsr from q bus's top.
Feel n swimmers exultation In tho sparkling
strife
OF this naughty yet obedent sea-way Of
modern life
Beneath the gorgeous signals.
Where my soul has already dived full into
the buoyant wash and ambulance
or the city's stupendous Heliespont.
II. "HARp FACTS"
Impatient with my intangible claims upon his
attention,
The practical man exclaimed,

But my delight In scarlet sunset over the
city
Is Just as hard q fact as his steel skeleton
of new office building
That cuts II into blazing honeycomb above
the lurid river.
My exultation In the swirl of faces on lower
broadway
Is Just as definite an element In the sum-
total of this hours world-life
AS his real estate deals. or new set of auto
mobile tires.
And the fascination that holds me lettering
at the florists or jewellers windows.
Or along the river fronts.
Or gazing at the white Brunhilde giantess
of a clock tower,
A-glitter with exalted lights against the
night sky,
Is Just as tough collop OF reality
AS his political craft, or shrewd study of
the stock quotations.

Hunting Bandits Gold on the
Western Prairics.

A report from Kansas City discloses
that an organized body Of treasure
hunters has been seeking gold and
silver said to have been buried half
century or more ago by a robber band
along the Mlssouri-Kansas line. So
great is the air Of mystery about the
treasure sought that its value is
merely estimated at thousands Of
dollars" and although the name Of
the robber band Is not stated we may
Judge from the period that II was
made up of some Of Mlssouris more
celebrated outlaws, the Jameses,
Youngers. Andcrsons or Quantrills.
The prairie legends Of buried treas.
ure-the prairies have them as allur.
ing and seductive as any that set men
to digging In the Atlantic coast sand
for the gold OF JEAN LAFr1rE or Cap
tain KIDD--are replete with details Of
gold bullion left by returning Forty
miners overcome by hardships Of their
long tramps overland, Of wealth con.
cealed by travellers and traders mas
sacred by Indians and Of stolen money
hidden by bandits or train robbers In
their flight from vigilance committees
or United States Marshals But of
these none seems TO have made so
strong an appeal to the treasure hunt
ers ms the stories Of the proceeds Of
robberies buried by the James broth
ers or some of the other outlaw bands
which operated at the time when they
fiourished.
One Of these Is 10 the effect that a
great part Of the loot taken by the
James and Younger brothers was
concealed in q cave In tina Arbuckle
