to the Bible to study the healings OF
our Master. There was-the- record
Of Jesus healing all manner OF
sickness and all manner OF disease
among the people" and the question
doubtless arose in her mind, In thus
healing the sick, was Jesus acting in
defiance OF, or in accordance with,
Gods law? She thought this ques-

His plan. 1t revealed also that evil

Mrs. Eddy then began TO put her

Shortly thereafter she healed a
young man of fever, and a little later

Romans referred more than once to
the duty Of the individual to main

that social peace is one of the re-

mind for ourselves, but there Is much
We can do TO bring about peace in

FASCINATING TALES
OF LOST MINES

THE SOMBRERO MINE

NHEN the Apaches were making
w the Southwest place of danger
for white men, a band of Chiricahuas
raided Janos, Sonora, and captured a
Mexican boy. whom they raised as one
Of themselves. Years later, they made
another raid on the same place. but
this time they were chased and the
boy was recaptured.
Among other trinkets, the boy had
some silver bullets. Where could the
Apaches get silver, the people of Janos
asked. From a cave in a canyon, an
swered the boy. The cave lay under
a peak which resembled a sombrero
(the high-peaked Mexican hat), and
there was much silver, which the In
dians used.
Could he show them the place? In
deed he could; he gave many direc-
tions, which assured them that he knew
where to go.
So several of the Mexlcans got to-
gether, and with the boy as guide they
rode into the Hatchet mountains, which
lie on the boundary between the Unit
ed States and Mexico. Soon they would
be at the canyon under the hill shaped
like a sombrero, the boy assured them.
And soon they were, indeed, at the
place mentioned, but at the mouth OF
the canyon they were met by the
Apaches and driven away with firm
fierceness that allowed no delay In
leaving.
The Apaches still, probably, know
the location of this mine, but others
who have sought 1t have never found 1t

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS dis
" covered tobacco when he dis
covered America in 1902. lie car
ried back to Europe fantastic tales
of how the barbaric natives per
fumed themselves by swallowing
the smoke of sweet-smelling herbs. !"
Other early explorers reported
that Indians smoked tobacco by in
haling it, not through the mouth
as we do now, but through the
nose. Their pipes were shaped in
the form of a Y, the two points
of which could be inserted in the
nostrils.
When first brought to Europe, the
tobacco plant was supposed to have
miraculous healing powers, and
physicians forced people to smoke
it for their health. Later, as the
practice grew more common, clergy
and kings professed to see traces
of immortality in it, and passed the
most stringent laws to stamp it out.
1t even became crime punishable
by death to smoke tobacco in sew
eral European countries.
It was not until smoking became
fashionable that it really gained
popular following. Sir Francis
Drake brought back a complete
smoking set from America in 1886
and presented it to Sir Walter
Raleigh. Just before he went to
the scaffold for political treason,
Raleigh smoked a pipe full of Vir-
ginia blend.
This Immediately impressed the
courtiers as a gallant gesture, and
smoking was soon rife in the Eliza
bethan court. Even Queen Eliza
beth is said to have enjoyed a sur
reptitious puff or two in the privacy
of her boudoir.
