And all of this plotting may now be summarised In one general end of "the constitution of a Danublan confederation." To the credit of the*45wlss It must be said thl»y resent in the extreme degree the abuse that Ite now being made of their country and their hospitality l>y the exiled rulers and statesmen of erstwhile empires and states, but they are as helpless In the matter as they are innocent. Keeps Everybody Busy. While they cannot keep their little country from being converted into an Incubator, however, they '•an at least try to keep the plots being brooded therein from actually hatching, and the Swiss secret service, together wltli Its gendarmes, its policemen, its detectives and Its public officials generally, are putting |n quit* a few sleepless nights to this end. Now that the gradual readjustment of Europe has left no doMbts In the minds of certain exiled rulers, like ex- King Constantine of Greece and some of the former rulers of German states, of the hopelessness of their oause, till of the plotting in Switzerland has come slowly to center on one great scheme, a scheme that Is not only onsldered possible, but that Is considered by many of the great minds and astbo^ ttls of Europe as being absolutely Imperative and inevitable. This is the constitution of s Danublan federation to replace the old dual monarchy, and which, according to its backers, is the only thing that can insure the life of the half-dozen or more states Into which the old Austria an-Hungarlan monarchy has been divided.

There was the arched gateway and the customary weeping willows by It. The clipped hedge was like most cemetery hedges.

But, withal, there' waa something queer--even shocking. Then you discovered what It was. These were truthful tombstones. Consoling platitudes--"Too pure for earth,'* and that like--found no place. Instead, there were such epitaphs as these: "Mother--walked to death In her kitchen;" "Sacred to the memory of Jane--she scrubbed iMMeif Into eternity;" "Grandma-- washed herself away;" "Susie--swept out of life with too heavy i broom." The people who saw that cemetery --and there were thouaands of them-- may have been shocked foe the Instant, hut they came away with the thought that one might be better for seeing such s cemetery. For, you see. It was a miniature cemetery, three feet square, and It was part of an exhibit Ht the Montana state fair. Such levity with the moat solemn thing that mankind knows could not be justified merely on the theory that the things said were true--but those who saw It came away with the belief that It was justified by way of keeping just those things from being true. And that wan the purpose of the exhibit, placed there by the agricultural extension department of the State Agricultural <-ollege of Montana. It was meant to emphasize the need for home conveniences, for lack of which many a farm woman has gone to her grave before her time. Osive Truth Home.' There were other exhibits rtwftffiert t« drive home the same hard truth One was a model showing a bleak farmhouse nn a bare hill. At the bottom of the hill ran a little stream, and by the stream were barns and cattle. Struggling up the hill toward the house with two heavy palls of WMter was a bent old woman. And the legend was: "Convenient for the cattle--but not for mother." Then there was a farmhouse with the water supply us It should be, the woman in the yard sprinkling her flower beds with a hose. And the Inscription read : "Convenient for mother-- and the cattle, too." Another model showed a kitchen as It should be. and another, a kitchen as it should not be. And there waa the legend: **A long-distance kitchen shor ?ns life." The lesson taught by the exhibit Is one that the state agricultural colleges arid the United States department of agriculture are trying to teach by every means at their command--greater convenience and a larger measure of comfort In the farm home.

Spokane, Wash.--The "lost" gold mine of the upper Salmon river district of Idaho, source for years of mysterious wealth foj its original discoverers and cause of the death of one of them, and the object of a 20 years' fruitless search by their "legatee," has been rediscovered, according to a report reaching here. For many yeaos two prospectors, Hughes and Sw-an, went every spring on a mysterious journey into the hills of central Idaho, and every fall returned with quantities of raw gold, which made them the envied of every miner to whose eats word of their great good fortune had come. Therf one fall Hughes fell sick, and Swan, his partner, was waylaid and robbed of his summer's toil in the hidden mine and murdered. Hughes died at length in poverty ta this city. The mine has been located, according to a report from Lewistown, Idaho, by two Jonson brothers of that city. It is declared to be on a tributary canyon of Ramsey creek in the upper Salmon river district of central Idaho. The ledge proper is declared to be from four to six feet wide, with a rich streak of quartz, in whi<"h the gold Is easily visible to the naked eye, four to six inches in width. N.

Born in the province of Westphalia, Germany, William Koss, the father, said he had spent three years In the army. The major of his battalion was the former kaiser, then Prince William. The day following his marriage he sailed for the United States ,and, in 1888, settled on the eastern shore of Green river. Eleven children were born. Koss said the mother was 111, nervous and Irritable during the last eight or nine years of her life. This caused her to iritss the two small boys on to the care of the others very often. Each member of the family, he said, apparently preferred his or her own solitude, and the two boys, Herbert and Ernest, were left to the care of their deaf mute sister. Tried to Help Boys.
