I keep tliese various evidences of al

with a hasp oy^ij the end, which Is, In

to one T own. After hq has primed'

and the dopr files accommodatingly
open. Then I haul out that box and
open it arid look awestrickenly at Its
contents. .- ) . >
Some of the'handsomest of these
contents, that I admire^ most from, a
wholly scenic standpoint 'are, I am
told, of least', value; commercially. I
have, for example, some mining stock.
I know it Is good, for I know a iqan
who went through- the mine himself,
personally accompanied by the owner
and his daughter; arid this friend of
mine saw the’ gold just as plain as
could be. So at 10 cents for each
hundredrdollor share, I bought a'
thousand of them. Subsequent anxious
efforts'on my part to locate/that mine
and to find out anything complimen
tary about it have proved very. dis
couraging indeed. And as for divi
dends on that stock, periods have
passed with the most, commendable
regularity. I have occupied the 're
viewing stand while they passed. A
man to whom I showed the stock
laughed and said It was worthless.-
But it was by believing a fellow that
l was led orifinally to buy the stuff.
So r, will, not, beUeye anybody again.
T shall bring: On to that stock. I feril
sure I shall. <
However, far be it from me to raise
Ned about any of these stinglngs 1
have been vouchsafed by the smooth

that mucli of that sort of stuff, he is
very badly Iri need of good sense, and
any price he may pay for it must not
be regarded an exorbitant. Arid it Is
well to, be. stung just; enough ip early
life by buying fake stock so that one
Is, as it were, vaccinated or Inocu
lated. It may save him hundreds or
thousands ftter on, So my worthless
stock is in some ways the best Invest
ment I have. It not only was, but It .1
still is, very dear to me.—Strickland -

Prehistoric Cemeteries.
Warren K. Moorehead, archeologist
of Phillips acadfemy, Andover, Mass.,
Has- unearthed three cemeteries, -52
skeletons, 23 funeral urns and count
less small art objects of prehistoric
residents of that section in the Caho-
kla mounds riiear East St. Louis, III.
Professor Moorehead is doing research
work under the direction of s the Uni
versity of.Illinois.- 1
, This discovery'tends to substantiate
the theory that the mounds are of hu
man construction rather than, natural
hills, it was said. -At the base of one’
mound a large altar was found, and
Professor Moorehead explained it was
customary for the “mound builders”
in other sections of the Mississippi
valley to cover over the altars, after
they had served their usefulness, to
great heights—hence the mounds.
Indications of an effort to smelt’
lead were found iri one mound, the pro
fessor exfflnined. a' smelter of baked
clay, in the form of a semi-circle, was
discovered, and beside it chunks of
|ead. Near it was a vessel in the
shape of a modern chemist’s crucible.

Five-year-old Mary Jane had a pet

The family was provoked and Mary
Jane’s father threatened to sell the
hen if she didn’t take care of the
chickens. That brought Mary Jane to
Strategy. That evening when her fa
ther came home she was waiting for
him.
“Where’s your hen?” lie demanded.
“Is she caring for her chickens?”
"Oh, no." Mary Jane was very seri
ous. “^he’s in the hen coop getting
ready to lay some more eggs to hatch
some more chickens.”
