clothes, gazing at the same AIDA
Pearl necklace as the girl, her heart
grew heavy, sad and lonely. On
leaving something hit the girls foot

be a string of the lady's pearls.
Pearls or honor? Honor, of course.
Stopping the lady, exchanging pearls,
dining at a tea room led to the unit

of loving and hearty talks led to un-
fold the big mystery.
Desiring to make up for the past,
the girl was furnished with elabor-

jewels, the happy girl asked only for
the Add-a-Pearl necklace.
What might have been the out

Famous Pearls of History

yielded a large amount of pearls
about 1900, and in many spots peo-
pie are now pursuing this occupa-
ton.
Usually. pearls found in the Cen
trail States rarely exceed $500 in
value. although 1t Is quite common
to find one that will readily bring
SIS or 800.
Near Covington. Ind, several
years ago townspeople and visitors
took up the pearl hunting craze and
for several months every spot in the
river for several miles was cearched
and many beautiful specimens
found.s
Wading out into the stream was
the usual manner in which the mol
lusks were secured by the amateurs,
while the professional pearl hunters
used special graphing hooks and
nets with which they could delve
into the deep waters. A drag with
a rope attachment is the most COM
mon of the devices employed in the
Mississippi valley rivers.

After the pearl resources in New
Jersey were almost depleted in 1877
a number of very beautiful pearls
were found in Ohio. In 1873 a num-
Der of small pearls, valued at about
$4,000, were found near Waynes-
vile.
After the finding Of these gems in
Ohio the fever spread and they were
found from time to time in Ver-
mont, Indiana, Kentucky, Florida,
Tennessee, Washington and a few
other States.
The Mississippi River yielded a
number, especially in the vicinity Of
Iowa, where the industry still
thrives.
In 1891 there was rush for pearl
fishing around Rock River, in Wis
consin. About 100000 worta of
pearls were found there within a
reasonably short time, which caused
the efforts of the fishers to spread
into the northern rivers.
