Mankind's Heavy Debt
to the Humble Burro

The burro Is a plodder, but he
has done much toward development
of America, especially in western
states, asserts a writer in the Kan
sas City Times. He has carried
timber, plaster and nails into the
desert for houses, packed gold and
silver and saved mems lives.
Virtually every important ore de-
post between Denver on the north
and Guanajuato ON the south, the
Missouri river on the east and Cal
ifOrnia on the west owes its dis
covery to the assistance given to
man by the burro.
He has several characteristics
that qualify him for hard life. He
can be driven, but not led. He
knows Straight line is the short
est distance between two water
holes, and he can find and follow
that line in country he has never
seen before. He can live on vege-
tation that horse or mule or camel
would not attempt TO eat. He knows
more about man than man knows
about him; any prospectOr will adj
nit this, declaring his own pet bur-
TO has more sense than any human
partner he ever had.

A grim statistician announces
that under the sod in the Gene
teries of this country treasure es-
timated at $4,000, 100000, has been
buried since the beginning of Amer
lean history. No one can dispute
these figures. No one will care to
analyze them carefully.
The ancient tombs of Egypt have
given up treasure of priceless value.
Excavations of buried cities have
shown that man has ever held to
the custom of burying jewels and
baubles and valuable trinkets with
the dead. The sword and helmet
of many a warrior have gone with
him into his dark and narrow bed.

They might become lighted, and
catch fire, or perhaps his papers
might burn, and the baggage OF

Hans was so troubled by the
thought of these possibilities that
nothing would serve him but to
have the train stopped. Then, the
matches being removed, he had to
pass the time away at a lonely rail-
way siding until the next train ar

Gems Rarely Seen

Many of the most famous collec-
lions of gems in the United States
have not seen the light of social
function, nor even the less roman
tic light of day for 20 years. They
belong to old families, the members
of which have lost their taste for
expensive adornment, but do not
wish to dispose of their possessions.
1t is only occasionally upon the
settlement of such an estate that Il
really rare collection Is thrown on
the market. Owing to popularity
of the market value of these stones,
most of them are sold to European
purchasers, says the Saturday Eve
ming Post, for the old-time gems
were cut with as small waste as
possible with little regard to shape,
and Americans demand regularity
of facet and brilliancy.
