MISSOURI FARMER IS
! DIGGING FOR STORED
WEALTH ON HLS.LAND

/ A map showing where some pirate ha.
buried his Treasure, dcathbcd story o.
dreams Of hidden wealth IN some distan,
land mean nothing to Thomas Thomure
a farmer living in St. Cenevieve County
but when ii comes to stories Of a buried
treasure on his owa farm. that's diff.
ferent matter. As result. Thomure has
been spending his spare time the last few
years in digging for gold.
For many years Thomure had been
aware Of rising and falling spring on
his land and also Of large arrow i'm
bedded in tree in a direct line from the
spring. He thought nothing Of the mat
ter until one day an old Indian appeared
in that part Of the country and informed
several persons that he was looking for a
rising and falling spring and that if he
could find it he would be able to locate
a buried treasure.
Although he was sure that he possess
ed a treasure farm, Thomure did not
know how to find the treasure, as the
Indian had disappeared as mysieriously
as he had appeared and without telling
anyone where to find it.
Sometime later, after Thomure had al
most forgotten about his treasure, he
was plowing in field near the spring.
Suddenly one Of the horses stumbled and
fell. He discovered that the horse had
stepped on a loose rock. When he re-
moved this rock he found that it covered
another rock which was very large. Ii
was noticed that the large rock was not
a native Of that locality and this, with
the story Of the Indian and the knowledge
Of the arrow and spring were sufficient
to cause 1homure to believe the way to
find the treasure was at last discovered.
Thomure began digging around the
rock and after considerable work was
able to remove it. When it was removed
he found that it formed the cover for
large crevice in the ground.
Since the discovery Of this crevice,
Thomure has been digging into it but as
yet he has neither reached the bottom of
the crevice nor found the treasure. Al
though he firmly believes that a treasure
is to be found there he has not quit farm
ing to spend all of his time looking for
it but is spending only few hours each
day in digging.

E. E. TYLER SUGGESTS
ETIQUETTE RULES FOR
PEACEFUL BEE ''DATE

Have you ever been stung by bee!
IL YOU have, or haven't, YOU will undoubt'
edly be interested in some of the pre-
scribed rules. as laid down by an expert.
concerning the handling Of bees. E. E.
Tyler has this to say about the subject:
IF you have date with bees, take a
bath before filling the date, because bees
have formed the habit Of singing unclean
persons.
II your clothes are not Immediately
rlean, or your breath is offensive, do NOT
get too familiar with bees.
Three days previous to the date OF your
late. begin abstaining from the consump-
ion Of meat. 1t will not be necessary to
last. Raisins, nuts, or vegetables may
be eaten.
1t is necessary to wear bee-llat un-
ess you wear glasses. One can readily i'm
igine the embarrassed feeling prevalent
when bee crawls under ones glasses.
II bee decides to use your nose as
4 bridge TO cross from one cheek to the
other, hold your breath while it is cross
ing the bridge. and again resume breath
ing only when the crossing has been
effected.
Bees like to do their singing before
ten a. m, so fill your date early. and
avoid the rush-of bees.
Some bees naturally disregard all rules.
and are continually on the alert to find
some victim regardless Of the time.
Should you be so unfortunate as to be
stung by bee, follow this simple in
struction: As soon as you are fully aware
of the fact that you have been stung.
chase the bee from the stung place, pull
out the singer and throw it over your
left shoulder. Then build a fire with
leaves, wood or any other smoke-produc-
ing material. When the smoke is dense
enough, hold the stung part Of your
anatomy over the smoke for few min.
uies. This will make you immune from
any more attacks-until the next time.

The play, "Pygmalion," is based on
the neurological story Of the sculptor

to transform the marble into living flesh
