PATHOS IN CHILD'S BRAVERY &>NOVtR First Beetle--What kind of a meet­ ing was that at the Oak hall last night? Second Beetle--Must have been a temperance meeting. The place "was full of water bugs. REASURES where the cows find them; treasures which the divers can see, but cannot reach; treasures where only superstitious fears stand in the way of recovery--such is the state of affairs in and about Great Britain proper, one of the richest fields in the world for the treasure-hunting ad­ venturers. The most ardent seeker of these troves was King John. Most of his time #as spent in hunting buried treasures of other centuries, assembling the gold and Jewels of England ^nd burying them again. Only those groups of known value and of certain or nearly certain location can be mentioned in this article, so numerous are they. It was known that the King had knowledge, gleaned from old documents, that the Romans, during the time of their occupation, had great quantities of gold, silver. Jewels and plate in a fashionable resort in the north of England, and, being cut oil in the rear by an invasion of Picts and Scots, burled it In a vast trove near the old Roman wall in Northumberland. King John made extensive explorations and found a large cache made at a later period, but did not find the more important Btore of wealth. He removed his find to Hermitage Castle, and, according to all accounts, the masonry of the wall was opened from the outside and the treas­ ure hidden once again. Once since his day the true clue to the Roman cache was found and lost again through the bru­ tality and stupidity of some English county of­ ficials in Northumberland. Two poor and ignorant farm laborers were working In a field on the line of the old Roman ruin one day and sat down. In the shade of a heap of stones, for their lunch. Idly, they turned over a large stone, and in the bottom of the cavity left they saw an enormously heavy chain. Pishing away the dirt until they could get hold of K. they drew it out. It was several feet in length and weighed enough to make a burden for both of them. Seemingly It was brass, and they left It till the next day, when they were working with a cart. At evening they Joaded ft In the cart and carried It home, leaving it against the wall of the stable as a curious but useless find. One Sunday when idling wkh some neighbors they fell to discussing the chain, and one of the neighbors scraped it with m knife. He said it looked and felt more like gold than brass and was very soft. Taking a broken link to the mar­ ket when he next went, the elder of the two finders submitted It to a Jeweler, who pronounced ft solid gold of a very fine quality. The neighbor who had made the discovery at the nature of the find thought he should have half and be let In on the secret of the remainder. This was refused, so he informed the authorities, and the two peasants were arrested, spent a long period in Jail, and, as a result of the ill treatment, one of them went Insane. The older had steadfastly refused to disclose the spot where the chain was found, having taken an oath when he was flogged in prison that he would never tell any one. This was his method of getting even and it proved very effective. It is curious indeed that the termination of the great treasure hunter and hider's career should he marked by the interment of wealth in an amount as great, or greater, than that. In­ volved in any of his previous exploits. In his historic flight. King John's party carried with It not only an enormous treasure in the store of gold that represented the royal funds, but a cumbersome w%lght of treasures he had ac­ quired, and more valuable today than all the others--the full regalia, crown Jewels, and in­ signia of the great orders of which the King was head. The British Mltaeum and die various orders would pay at least $25,000,000 for the recovery of these, and yet it does not seem a difficult mat­ ter. Some individual or syndicate with the proper backing could easily look up the circumstances as contained in the old records and make a con­ sistent, determined effort. The royal fugitive and retinue were riding in haste around the dip of the Wash, and the ani­ mals on which the precious load was carried mired so frequently in the lowlands that it was decided to cache the treasure. The King and a few faithful noblemen superin­ tended the work, impressing some peasants for the labor. The reeords state distinctly that the Interment took plaee precisely where the road crosses the river tq Lynn. The old road ran where there is now a morass in spring and fall, baked dry in summer. A few years ago, during the drought season, some farm­ ers, sinking a well so as to water the cattle that were feeding on the marsh grass, struck an odd crown of solid gold, but made no further excava­ tion. By the time London beard of the find, the sea­ son had changed and the spot was a swamp once more. There Is no question in my mind, after reading all accounts, that the treasure Is there and can be excavated with a steam shovel floated on a barge Into the mouth of the great. Ouse. In 1709, when England was at war with the Netherlands. H. M. S. Lutine sailed from Yar­ mouth for Cuxhaven. She sank off the island of Veieland, at the mouth of the Zuyder Zee, and only two of those aboard were rescued. 8tie car- ECZEMA CAME ON SCALP Lebanon, O.--"My eczema started on my thigh with a small pimple. It also came cn my scalp. It began to itch and I begun to scratch. For eighteen or twenty years I could not tell what I passed through with that awful Itching. I would scratch until the blood would soak through my un­ derwear, and I couldn't talk to my friends on the street but I would be digging and punching that spot, until I was very much ashamed. The ltflfe* lng was so intense I could not sleep after once in bed and warm. I certain­ ly suffered torment with that eczema for many years. "I chased after everything I ever heard of, but all to no avail. I saw the advertisement for Cutlcura Soap and Ointment and sent for a sample.

Of the many ways in which the mid­ dle-aged woman may vary the effect of her afternoon gowns none is sim­ pler than the use of a collar and cuffs of white voile edged with scalloping and embroidery In a floral design. An­ other change may be the frock set of white chiffon with border of black mailnes, and still another is the one of black net hemstitched with silver thread. Some of these collars are BO long in front that they terminate only at the waist line, where they cross In surplice effect and are tucked away under the girdle. An excellent model of this sort is of light blue lawn em­ broidered with black dots, and a sec­ ond is of white argaric trimmed with tiny folds of broadcloth, alternating with eponge. rled gold and silver specie. It was later learned that she was insured for 96,941,665. The United Kingdom was literally girdled with sunken treasure in the latter part of the six­ teenth century. Sir Francis Drake returned in 1580 from his great Journey of exploration to California, and he had an adequate Idea of the vast amount of gold which was being carried in Spanish ships from Mexico and South America to Spain. As a matter of fact, there was so much of it in; •'Spain that the possessors did not know what to do with it, and the idea of the great Armada may have been conceived as much to find a glorious means of expending the royal wealth and the wealth of the ambitious nobles as to "have a method of diverting the attention of the poorer classes, who were very little better off in spite of the flood of gold that had come to the Peninsula. However that may be. the great Armada is usually considered a magnificent adventure which was meant to crush the power of England at sea and to humble the kingdom to a state of practical vaBsalage to Spain, her bitter enemy. The English ships were well-trimmed, meagerly fitted vessels for war--wab" and nothing else. The Spanish ships had. In some cases, silken sails, many splendid canopies on poop decks, gold- mounted cannon, and even the lowest estimated accounts say that from seventy to one hundred millions in Spanish gold and silver was the sum total in treasures distributed among eighty great ships. How Sir Francis Drake and the British ad­ mirals and captains fell on the fleet and scat­ tered it, how In battle after battle it was worsted, is a matter of history familiar to every one. The bulk of the Armada, driven by a great Btorm, was hurried into the North Sea and, vainly endeavor­ ing to circle by the Orkneys and the Shetlands and get back to the Bay of Biscay through the Minches, the North Channel, Irish Sea, and St. Qeorge's Channel, was wrecked in strange waters. It Is impossible In brief space to so into detail concerning all of these rich sunken wrecks. Bach of them that Is known has its more or less defi­ nite history and from some of them millions of dollars' worth of trappings and treasure were recovered in the years following soon after the gigantic disaster. , One of the Spanish Armada ships, the, Floren- da, went ashore in the Sound of Mull in 1588. She had a vast treasure aboard, and when she was attacked by a band of Scots her commander blew her up. The Duke of Argyll spent a fortune in the search. His ancestors have been hunting since 1664. and in 1667 an announcement was Sade public that the old records showed that ere was $30,000,000 in money on her, besides the gold and silver plate. None of It has ever been recovered, although the Argyll family have the full Information of where the wreck lies. The Cavalier treasure of Marston Moor is an­ other famous cache. For centuries the villagers near the historic field where the Roundheads and Cavaliers contended have been thrown into great excitement by finds of gold-pieces and by th^ ar­ rival of parties of strangers who the villagers im­ agine have come to look for the treasure. The story of this trove is that before the battle, owing to the necessity of shifting headquarters of the King's government so often, the army funds In four chestB, each of which could be transported en pannier between two large horses, was brought to the Cavalier camp. A sudden descent of the Roundhead cavalry cut off the treasure and its guardian, who held out stubborn­ ly till dark, then burled the treasure hastily. The Cavaliers retreated, expecting to receive reinforoements and regain possession of the treas­ ure, but the battle of Marston Moor followed. The ground was torn up with hoofs, fire swept part of the plain, and the marks were gone, so it has remained undisturbed ever sinoe. No, not quite undisturbed--a village oow found tt, hut she did not appreciate her advantages and could not have told her master if she had. It is a well-known fact that when certain forms of stomach trouble affect cows, dogs and other animals, they seek metal oxides, and will swallow nails, rusty Iron, and bits of Jewelry. This par­ ticular cow was BO troubled. Her graxlng-ground Included part of the general locality in which the treasure is known to lie. She was noticed licking the rusty hinges of the pasture gates, licking an old plowshare, and some weeks later she gave evidences of being in great pain. The wiseacres of the village were called In ooundl and decided that she had swallowed something that disagreed with her, and, partly out of cu­ riosity and partly through desire to save the beef by killing her before she died, the owner had an end put to her misery and an autopsy was held. Imagine the excitement when the butchers opened the stomach and. amid nails, bits of iron, and copper, found a number of gold-pieces of the Cavalier treasure and a small latch-lock of the type of which there must have been several on every one of the treasure chests. The soil had been washed or had been plowed over the treasure, and the cow had found it and absorbed her mortal end. The wisacree then told the own­ er that if be had but kept the oow alive till she returned to the spot where she had found the treasure he might have watched her and soon dis­ covered. it. He worried over his folly till he grew so despondent that he hanged himself. The square face of Gibraltar, made so familiar in America by use in advertising, in reality fronts the landward side. Between the Rock and the mainland runs a flat sandy strip that Is neither British nor Spanish. Gibraltar has always been a great haunt of smugglers, and the neutral strip has always tyeen their greatest danger-ground. In 1870 the dangerous Theron band desisted from smuggling long enough to run some cargoes of arms into Spain for the use of Don Carlos aQu his Simy. Altec bcO'uuu^ bOiiic f4o0,000 tw«y set out to effect a retirement from Gibraltar, and made their way tq Jaen, where a wealthy mer­ chant was known to have some $600,000, colleated In readiness for use hi the Carlist cause. Under pretext that they had instructions to deliver a shipload of munitions to htm at Malaga, and dis­ playing the documentary evidences of their late deal with Don Carlos, they persuaded the mer­ chant to accompany them on the road to Malaga. When a fitting opportunity came they murdered him. threw his body Into a dry ravine, and with their weight of wealth in gold and English notes. Bet out for Gibraltar. The body was found sooner than they had expected, and they were pursued. Some ten miles from the neutral ground they were overtaken, and a running fight occurred, in which Gasprey, one of the outlaws, was killed In a most spectacular manner. Four of the outlaws crouched among the rocks and held the pursuers at bay. anxiously awaiting Theron's return. But when the dawn came they found that he had burled the treasure, turned the mules lose, and was making his way back to them when a bullet had stretched him out dead on the sand. Seeing this, the four now tried to retreat to­ ward the Rock, one after the other, but they west shot down. When it was found that there had been orer s million dollars in booty with the party, a careful search was begun, but the drifting sand had obliterated the necessary traces and K has never been recovered. The wind is constantly carrying away the saad on this tone, and the Gitanl and others who fre­ quent it keep a sharp eye out for the rusted cor. ner of a steel box. Some day the money will be found; In fact, search with-a magnetic Instru­ ment could disclose it today If some one on »h«y spot only thought of such a device. Voiee of Conscience.

Women lawyers are becoming less and leas a novelty the world over. A barrister who has recently been admit­ ted to the bar in Switzerland is Mme. Rachel Vullle of Geneva. She has become a partner In the offlce of « well-known law firm In that city, and already has a list of clients. Pos­ sessed of independent means, Mid be­ reft of her family by death, her prime motive in taking up law was to have a profession and be of assistance to other women. It Is her conviction that a woman lawyer can defend a woman prisoner better than a man can, because ot the greater sympathy may be established between cli­ ent and counsel when both are women. She made a record as a law student, passing the examinations in * three years, the shortest possible time in which the course oan be completed. It is her ambition to see suffrage for women established in Switzerland, but she says the Swiss women In general ore far behind their English sisters in their interest in and work for the cause.

We oan hardly realise that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per sent, or mors' than one-third! before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma-' jorfty of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these! infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for eliildren?s complaints contain luoife or less opium! or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to oongestiona, sickness, death* Gastoria operates exaufly the reverse, but you must sea that it bears the signature of Ghas. H. Fletcher.
