Court Upholds Boys Claim.

Ownership of $1,000 in gold found
buried on a farm near Greensboro,
Indiana, six months ago by Levi Todd,
a 15-year-old boy, was settled in the
circuit court by Judge Cause, decid-
ing that flinders are keepers"
While excavating for a basement
under an old house young Todd drove
his pick into an earthenware jar con-
tanning the money, and the started a
three-cornered fight for its ownership.
Mrs. Clara Freeman Vickery claimed
the money was part Of her mothers es-
tate, and John Hardin, present owner
of the farm, sought an interest as own
er Of the land. The judge gave the
money to its youthful finder, holding
the evidence was insufficient to show
Mrs. Vickery's mother had buried it
and that Mr.. Hardin's ownership Of the
land did not give him ownership OF
the money, because he was ignorant
Of its existence.

"Now, Tommy Smith," said the
school teacher one morning during the
usual hour of torture, "what is the half
of eight?"
(which way, teacher?" asked the
youngster cautiously.
(which wayr' replied the astonished
lady "What do you mean?"
"Well, on top or sideways, teacher ?"
said Tommy.
"What difference does that make ?"
"Why," Tommy explained, with a
plying air, "half off Of the top Of eight
is nought, but half of it sideways is
three"

up long after his master had stopped.
