Roosevelt and Johnson are the Bull Moos°rs who will seek the presidency and vice presidency, contesting against Wilson and Marshall, Taft and Sherman and the others. It will take some more push and enthusiasm as well as seme money and other ingredients, if they make a showing. The Old Home Week looks like a go I now. It will be definitely decided at' the regular meeting of the board of managers to be held this evening. About tomorrow the campaign will begin and wen the enthusiasm of those [ back of this proposition let go, they should make things hum and sizzle. ■ ■ I In preparing the estimate for the i repairs on macadam roads in Adams county for next year, County Attorney Lutz has announced the total number j of miles of pike in Adams county to be 421, with eighteen miles under construction and a hundred miles more . petitioned for. No wonder we have the best county in the state, and the best spot in all the nation in which to live, and the greatest part of all of , it is that it gois better and more valuable each year. Governor Wilson s speech of accepti ance yesterday was an able address, by one of the nation's most learned statesmen. He expressed in plain language his understandings of the various problems and his ideas of cor- , recting certain things which have affected the prosperity of our country, yet his speech was one that would not alarm any one, for he states his belief that any changes necessary should be made in the way which should least affect business, acting with caution and prudence like men who know what they are about. Elmer Apperson, the man from Kokomo, who built the first automobile in the United States, has started a movement to have auto manutactuiers stop the practice of naming their models by years, such as the 1312 model. There will be no break between seasons and the advantages thereof will be easily noticed by everyone. "No more can the motor car be marketed on the public school plan, says Mr. Apperson. “As the automobile is a year-around performer, why should it not be a year-around seller?

STILL SEEK TREASURE PEOPuE OF SCOTCH HIGHLANDS FIRM IN FAITH. Tradition of Burled Wealth Lingers and la Occasionally Made Stronger by Flnde—Some Heavy Gold Omamente Unearthed. For centuries the search for ancient treasure has been pursued in the glens and wild places of the highlands of Scotland, and sometimes unexpected "finds” have been made, writes the duke of Argyll In Youth's Companion For Instance, a tradition that a treasure was hidden at Inverary had long been handed down. According to the legend, it would never be found excepi by a stranger. Generation after generation of children searched for it. If a badger made a hole in the hillside the children believed that the badger had the scent, and dug up his burrow; but no young or old badger ever came forth with bangles on Its neck or its nose. The children watched every rabbit scrape or hen scrape to see if animal or bird had been attracted by anything shining under the sod or In the sand. Then drainage was introduced. Formerly the glen was too wet to be cul- . tivuted, except on dry slopes where j water could not gather, and a hand ; plow did all the necessary furrowing. ‘ But now red tiled pipes were put down Jo drain 9ff water from flatter ground,' and it was possible to sow in comparatively level places. One pretty piece of grass land un- : der a cliff was pointed out as a good ' bit for plowing. From the precipice ; above a great rock had fallen in long past ages. This had to be removed. ‘ The man at the plow tail was a stranger, an Englishman. He put a bag of powder under the j rock to blow it up. The explosion i followed, the partly splintered rock heaved and fell on its side. Under- ! neath where it had been was a gleam ! of the lost treasure! There were three 1 bautiful, heavy gold braceleets. two of , which had cups at their ends. The treasure had been found, and by a “stranger,” as prophesied. Those bracelets were beautifully’ ! wrought; one of them had plain ends where the wrist was slipped through. | As for the pair with the hollow cups, | an old tradition was recalled which I declared that no who had com- i raitted a fault could be forgiven unless [ the cups of gold at the gap in the i bracelets were filled with his penitential tears. There is just room for the nose, like the wrist to slip in between . the golden ends, and it is possible to | hold the cups under the two eyes. Sometimes ignorant men who have found such bracelets have looked on the gold as mere brass. Tn rffie a number of bracelets found in an Island of the Hebrides were used as drawer handles for an old pine chest of drawers. A peddler came to the cottage, found that the old chest had very heavy handies, and gave 15 shillings, or $3.75, for it. He took it away and sold the old bandies for £2O each.

Such heavy ornaments aa the bracelets must have been a burden to a Celtic beauty. For a warrior the gold was beaten out until it was thin, for then it was more portable and easily worked Patterns of all kinds could be punched in it, so as to give a good effect in front. We can imagine how erand an old chief from Brittany or Wales or Ireland looked with a shining yellow band on his conical helmet, a broad plate of gold on his right shoulder and on his left a Jong yellow mantle girt in by the belt itself. Tramp Then Wondered. The first hobo of the spring season arrived in East Cleveland. He looked even more dejected than the first robin and shivered quite as much. And since then there have come other robins and other tramps, al! wondering why they left the southland so soon, and all appearing blue and pessimistic. One of them—a bum, not a bird — appeared at the residence of Colonel Bush the other morning It was Sunday and the colonel himself answered the knock. The hobo took In the wellknown military bearing at once and 1 said: “Could you please help an old soldier T" “Regular army*’’ asked the colonel, I laconically. Y esa'r.” “Discharged?” “No, sir: no, sir!" the hobo assured him. “I quit of me own accord! No. air; they didn't discharge me.” And probably that tramp is wondering yet why he was kicked oft the porch.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Didn’t Feeze Sambo. Sometimes the more you get a negro cornered, the less cornered you have him. This fact, long known to many, was discovered the other day by a leather man in the Swamp. This man suddenly awoke to the fact that certain back walls were ; dingy with dirt and decided- they’d look much better if whitewashed. So he summoned his old negro factotum and told him to get busy with bis whitewash brush, giving special direction to put two coats on. When the job apparently had been finished, the leather merchant inspected It and found the whitewash suaplctoaaiy thin looking. Summoning Sambo, he said as sternly ss be could ’ “You didn’t go over those walls twice, as I told you to.” "No, ilr" was the quick reply. “I atn% gone over twice, but I done put twe cnete Id de pall, air; two ooato is de FeH."— Bew Yoe Bventog NML
