"ALL THAT GLITTERS"

A hundred years ago a group of
people, lured by reports of gold
deposits, left their homes in east
ern Tennessee and trekked westward.
They finally set up camp IN the
Black Hills and for two years they
toiled away until they had accumu-
lated a large heap of -flecked
ore. Then a metal assayer came
along, and after examining the ma
terial reported that the stuff was
not gold but iron pyrites. Before
leaving the camp, the disillusioned
men made large cross out Of the
metal and engraved on ii these
words. Beware, FOOLS Gold

to have them shattered in the face
of stern reality. "All that glilters is
