Eyery imaginable article both large arid small was made. Many of these, according to a writer in the Los Angeles Times, permitted the most elaborate ornamentation in which the silversmiths indulged in their fancy. Tea, coffee, and chocolate had now become established in the social life of the nation, and the silversmiths profited thereby. The first, teapot is said to have been made during the reign of Queen Ahne. , : ; ;ii • „ ; ...

Freshly Ground I New Orleans.--In a sandy field 60 miles northeast of here the grandson of a Confederate overland blockade runner has plowed to light the fate of Louisiana's legendary gold camel, caravan. Lawrence Holmes was plowing in his father's field near Robert, La., when sunlight glinted on several strange looking coins. They were Spanish pieces of eight. He showed them to his father, Robert Holmes, who recalled the camel caravan. 1 "My father," the elder Holmjss said, "was an overland* Confederate blockade runner who led the camel train through this section to avoid capture ..by the Federals blockading the Mississippi river. "OR their backs were bags of old gold pieces and bullion that had been obtained somehow in T£xas. The money supposedly was being taken to the headquarters of Jefferson Davis, Confederate pre^b dent, in Alabama." - Camels Drank Too Much. . . . But the "ships of the deseft" were unused to the great amount of water in Louisiana's bayous and Small rivers. They drank themselves to death ' and died near the Holmes farm. The bullion on their backs was secretly buried. The coins found by young Holmes are believed the first discovered cif this buried treasure. They date back to 1798. Several bear the imprint of Charles IV of Spain, king during the last days of Spain's domination of Louisiana more than 150 years ago. Records in New,Orleans Howard Memorial library substantiate the story of camfils used by the Confederacy. They had been intrQduced into the United States in 1855 by Jefferson Davis *hfen "'ljte was4 secretary of war. At his request congress passed a bill appropriating $30,000 for their importation. Seventy-five were landed at Indianola, Texas. Used by rmy in West. They were used by the army in the semi-arid regions of west Texas and the desert country of New Mexico and Southern California. Foster for long journeys than horses and more durable, the camels proved successful on army exploration and surveying trips. But the teamsters resented this humped competition for their horses and mules. When the Civil war began government camels were scattered throughout Texas. Davis, then president of the Confederacy, remembered their good service as beasts of burden, and the Confederate post office department captured a number to use as overland blockade runners^ But Louisiana is no dry, arid country. The camels imbibed too much watef when - they passed through the Tangipahoa river country. FOR SALE--6-Room House on Waukegan street; also household furnish ings. Call McHenry 95-M.
