Rulo Neb., February 11.—Archaeo
logical fakers last week “salted” the
grave of an ancient mound builder
near Rulo and temporarily caused all
sorts of excitement among archaeolo
gists of the universities of Kansas
and Nebraska, each institution send
ing field workers to the scene of the
“astonishing anft wonderful discover-
vrhich local savants, with more
enthusiasm than knowledge, were
i!y making.
According to the reports received
at the universities, among the bones
of the prehistoric people buried in
the mound excavators were finding
ancient Roman coins, glass beads,
gold filigree work, golden wire and
salt water shells by the hundreds.
Asked to Come at Once.
These reports were so startling that
i’rof R. F. Gilder, of Omaha, field
archaeologist of the University of
Nebraska, was asked to come at once
and investigate before the articles
inved from the old burial

on tht • - after the report
reached him.
Half the town met him at the train.
The other half joined his expedition
when it set out for the ancient burial
mound. Stores and offices were closed
for the day. A general holiday was
declared. The site of the burial was
about a mile and a half north of
Rulo, in a ravine cut into the hills
to the level of the nearby Missouri
river. Local “prospectors” had made
deep excavation ‘where the ancient
skeletons had been found.
Thin Gold Crass.
“I carefully examined the entire ex
posed face of the excavations, but
did not notice anything which would
lead me to believe that a ‘plant’ had

been made,” said Dr. Gilder. “Near
the upper part of the excavation was
a ledge of earth about two feet wide.
This I carefully looked oyer. There
was nothing to attract my attention.
I was somewhat surprised a few min
utes later to see one of the men reach
down and pick up from that ledge
what appeared to be a part of a little
gold cross. It was thin and there was
a decoration of some kind cut on one
side.”
Shortly thereafter a bysiand-
reached down into the newly turned
earth, where the excavation was be
ing made and pulled out a metal
feather about three inches long,
appeared to be made of silver and was
covered with dirt. To a certain ex
tent it was oxidized.
“The next find made was of a blue
glass ornament set in what appeared
to be a filigree of gold. Then came
quantities of small gold wire. All of
these were taken in charge by the
university archaeologist, who also se
cured two of the Roman ooins which
had been found the day previous.
Jeweler Explodes Dream.
Dr. Gilder took the little gold cross
to a manufacturing jeweler.
“Plated stuff,” said the jeweler.
“Modern alloy. Stamped by
chinery. Not more than a few yeara
old at the outside.”
Next came the silver feather. The
jeweler scraped off the dirt and rust
and there, on the back, he showed
GiU wo'dabs of metal.
“Soider,” said he. “This has been
used as a pin. It’s plated and cost
about half a dolar when new. proba
bly some girl’s hatpin.”
Then the blue glass ornament was
produced. “This was made in Ger
man,” said the jeweler. “IPs a but
ton off some woman’s cloak. This
filigree is copper wire. On the back
of thia blue glass, to give it luster,
you will find a material cheaper than
quicksilver than has been in use only
a few years.”
The old Roman coin was produced.
That*! lead or pewter* gilded by the
customary process with electrodes,”
■aid the expert. “No Roman ever
■a* that, but I don’t know what it is."
Dr. Gilder took his coin to the -pub
lic library and found it to be an am
bient of the Catholic Knights of St.
George. On one side, in Latin, was
the inacription, “St. George, Patron
of Chivalry.” On the reverse, “Se
curity in the Storm."

Mr. Henry Ford, the automobile
manufacturer, has attracted a lot of
attention over his announcement that
he is going to distribute 4)10,000,000
among his employes. Mr. Ford is
hailed as a great philanthropist,
any rate, because of its unusualness,
he is to be commended for his deter
mination to divide his profits among
the faithful employes who helped him
earn them.
The Jay H. Epting company has
adopted a somewhat similar plan, al
though it is' not in imitation of F’ord,
but may be said to be origmai with
the Epting company so far as dealing
with employes of a retail business
|iouse is concerned.
This innovation just inaugurated
Athens as an ‘employes’ profit-sharing
sale” and the plan is to give its em
ployes 6 per cent of the total sales
for one week. The employes of the
oeiock in the store formerly occupied Eptin> , company have he ,. n loya , and

SCOTLAND AWAKE
OVER_SUFFRAGE
Glasgow Follows Lead of Edin
burgh in Petitioning Parlia
ment For Action.
Scotland is awake on the suffrage
question, says The Woman’s Journal.
The Town Council of Edinburgh lately
voted more than two to one to petition
Parliament to pass the woman suf
frage bill. The Town Council of Glas
gow has just taken similar action, it
also voted 60 to 27 to send the Lord
Provost and the Senior Magistrate,
Baillie McMillan, as a deputation to
Mr. Asquith, to back up the re
quest.
The motion was made,by Mr. Ross-
lyn Mitchell, and supported by the
Lord Provost, who recalled the fact
that the Glasgow Town Council had
twice sent deputations to London, in
1831 and 1832, in behalf of broaden
ing the suffrage for men.
Before the vote w+l taken, a dele
gation of anti-suffragists were given
a hearing, but their arguments were
not convincing.
Making Strangers Welcome.
A class connected with one of the
large Boston churches keeps a bulle
tin board before the church giving de
tailed information in regard to the
class. At the bottom of the board in
very large red letters are the words
‘All Men Welcome.”
One Sunday an active member of
the class was standing near the board
awaiting the coming of a speaker who
was to address the class. Presently
two men came along and they stopped
to read the bulletin board. Then one
of the men said:
“ ‘All men welcome,’ Do you reckon
they mean it?”
“No telling if they do or not,” was
the reply of the other man.
Then the member of the class who
had overheard the bit of conversation
stepped up and said:
“Suppose you come in and see if
we mean it.”
“What do you say, Joe? Shall we
go in?”
“I will if you will,” was the re
ply.
The two strangers entered the
church and the member of the class
who had invited them saw that they
were given a royal welcome intot the
class. The next Sunday the member
who had overheard the comments of
the two strangers, who happened to
be in the city for that Sunday only,
told the incident to the class and drew
from it the moral that it was up to
every member to make absolutely true
ihe three little words at the bottom
of the bulletin board. Every class
hould make these words true, no mat
ter whether they appear on the class
bulletin board or not. When they do
appear or in the class advertisements,
the obligation to make them true is
all the greater.—Adult Bible Class
Monthly.
The following reports were received.
We arc glad to welcome the Wes
ley Baraca class of Young Harris

hope to get a good report from that
class from this on.
