TREASURE HIDDEN in RUSSIA

= .@Ns3% Officials. - 80 ~

Treasures of gold and jewels are
still hidden in Russia, secure from
soviet acquisitions and robberies, their
estimated value mounting into the
hundreds Of millions Of gold rubles.
Russian families especially in Jewel
collections, We're far more wealthy
than. families Of corresponding means
in other countries, and it is certain
that neither, the soviet nor refugees
have taken all these gems for sale
abroad. On several occasions, fami-
lies have told the correspondent how
they outwitted the soviet agents. In
one family, diamond and pearl neck
laces were broken up and the parts
hidden, at dead of night, in bed posts,
in the tubing Of electric light conduits,
III garbage pals and even in PAPER
weights lying exposed on q i table.
When soviet agents came to make in
spections they tapped the walls, tore
up the floors and dug in the gardens,
but found nothing. With free trade,
many Of these. hidden treasures are
coming out, to be sold In the market,
to tide the owners through the win'

Deep Gratitude.

=, It is related that the famous Sheri-
dan went to hairdresser's on one
occasion to order a wig. The barber
was liberal soul, and on the orator
being measured, a bottle Of port was
produced and so much hospitality was
shown that Sheridan's heart was
touched. "..*
When they rose from the table and
were about to separate, Sheridan,
looking the barber full in the face,
said: ION rejecting, don't intend that
YOU shall make my wig T." -
Astonished, and with blank visage,
the barber exclaimed: But, Mr.. Sheri-
dan, how can I have displeased you?
"Why, look you" said Sheridan, you
are an honest fellow. and ] repeat it.,
you shan't make my wig, for ! never
intended to pay for it. Ill 60 to an
