An interesting legend of hidden treasure has been revived among the

residents in Dlackford and Jay Counties, who live near the old Godfroy Indian reservation, by the recent visit to that vicinity of two men who are supposed to have dug up a part of the treasure. The men are unknown. A farmor near tho reserv says ho found where the meii had dug up an Iron vessel that had left its rusty imprint In the earth. The romoval of tho pot of hidden gold gave rise to the rumor of the pot of hidden gold supposed to have been left by old Chief Godfroy. The news soon spread and it was not long until tho entire neighborhood was searching the woods ami fields and especially that part known as the burial ground of the tribe. Reminiscences wore exchanged and stories of Godfroy's fablod treasure were retold many times. It Is well known that Godfroy was a rich man but pioneers of Blackford County smile as they read In the local papers of the hidden treasure. About forty years ago Richard Swatchwood. a trapper, while chopping into a tree, found a piece of silver weighing over twenty pounds, which had been hidden there. An old gun. used by the Indians, had three hundred pieces of silver In the butt. Indiana's Vast Coal Wealth. According to the report of State Goologlst W. S. niatchley. which will bo ready for distribution about Sept. 1, Indiana coal production for 1903 showed a decrease of 1,253.411 tons in comparison with the production for 1007. or 9.4 per cenL This decrease was found to be due principally to the commercial, financial and manufacturing depression which set In in 1907 and continued well Into 190S. Some of the important points recorded concerning the coals of the State are tho following: "Indiana coals aro tho peer of any with which they aro called on to compete." "Recent experiments with coals from tho Linton field promise groat success in coking. All Indiana coals will coke." "Indiana coals will produce producer gas of high mechanical value." "The following counties aro practically all underlaid with coal: Parke, Vermillion, Vigo. Clay, Sullivan, Knox, Greene, Dnviess, Martin. Gibson. Pike, Dubois, Posey. Vanderburg, Warron and Spencer, sixteen In all. "The coal measures In the State are approximately 1,300 feot in thickness, but the main coal bearing divisions will be included In 500 feet "Indiana coals can bo mined successfully and economically. "Indiana, on a consorvativo basis, has fifty billion tons of coal in sight,' or that can be mined. Of what is nt this tlmo considered n workablo coal, tho supply is about fourteen billion tons. It is being used nt the rate of about 13.500.000 tons annually. If mining continues nt the present rate tho workable supply will Inst about ono thousand years, hut If It con tinues to increase nt the rate it has Increased In the last decade, tho workable supply will bo exhausted In about ono hundred and fifty years. Sullivan Countv has tho greatest supply, about ten billion tons being 'In sight.' Miners Drop 315 Feet. Twolvo forolgn miners were moro or less seriously injured whun a cage at the Klondike mine No. 4, threo miles west of Clinton, becamo unmanageable nnd dashed from the pit opening to the bottom of tho shaft, a dis tance of 315 feot. Several of the men nro expected to die from their Injuries. Boy Fatally Cut by Scythe. Raymond Lucas, C-yoar-oId 80n of Lafnyetto Lucas of Advance, was fatally Injured by falling on a scytho with which tho father was cutting weeds.

HINTS FOR THE FOURTH. Absorbent Gotten and Carron.OII Should Be Prepared for Accidents. If n child plnylng with flroworks Is slightly burned, with tho skin unbroken. It requires no attention. If a blister has formed. It should be opened with a sterile needle, nn ordinary new noodle passed through a Hume, nnd tho contents allowed to trickle out without removing tho shin. Thon covor with a piece of storllo gauze on which a small quantity of carbollxod vusolln has boon smeared, and bandago lightly. If tho child Is badly burned tho clothing should be cut, nover pulled from tho burn. If It sticks to the wound apply plentifully warm oil, either olive or cottonseed. The Injured parts should then be Immorsod In a strong solution of bicarbonate of soda, a tablespoon to a pint of warm water, or the solution can bo gently poured on from a ball of absorbent cotton. If the burn Is very Jad. carron-oil should be applied afterward. Carron-oil consists of equal parts of linseed-oil and limo-vvator, and is exceedingly soothing and healing. Cut off enough sterile gauze to cover the parts, soak it with carron-oil nnd apply to the burn, then cover with dry guuzo and bandage lightly. Burns of considerable sizo should never bo exposed to tho air. Nulthor should strong antiseptic solutions bo applied, as a good deal Is absorbed into tho skin from a lnrge surface and tho child may become poisoned In this way. Children should be instructed to koep cool and retain their presence of mind In caso of catching fire. It should bo remembered that flames always rise upward, thereforo to stand upright and rush about is the worst possible thing to do. If a child becomes panic-stricken. It should bo fore.oly held down, and a heavy covering of somo sort thrown ovor It. Always stand at the head of a person In flames and throw a heavy cover toward the feet. This will turn the flames from tho head toward the feet. This saves tho face and head and extinguishes the flames quickly. If medical nld is delayed In arriving, soak the burn parts in bland oils, carron-oil If it can be procured, In the meanwhile with olive or cottonseed oil. Tho w Idea Woman's Magazine. KING CHRISTIAN KICKED HIM. Royal Bandmaster Forgot to Play "The Star-Spangled Banner." A short time after the Civil War, writes a correspondent of the New

York Times, a small neoi or our snips took the then Assistant Secretary of tho Navy, Gustavus V. Fox. to Europe to cultivate international friendship. While in Copenhagen the late King Christian Invited Mr. Fox and the principal officers of his fleet to dine. The following Incident of tho visit was related to me by the late near Admiral Alexander Murray, who was then in command the monitor Augusta: "From my seat at dinner I looked out on the pleasant lawn whore the band was stationed. After the principal business of the dinner was over, at the invitation of King Christian the glasses were filled and. nil the table being at attention, his majesty arose and with due formality proposed 'The President of the Unfted States.' Glasses were raised, but the King paused, glared over his shoulder and abruptly left the dining hall. The guests, upon invitation of an aid, reseated themselves. "Inn few minutes I saw the bandmaster come hurriedly into sight, followed by the King, who kicked him across my field of view. Shortly after tho King returned to tho dining hall, took his place at the head of the table, and, the guests having risen, again proposed 'The President of the United States.' As he raised his glass the band struck up 'The Star Spangled Banner.' With a satisfied smile his majesty emptied his glass. "King Christian was democratic and kind and beloved by his people, but all things had to be done decently and In ordor or he'd know the reason why." Facts About Firecrackers, Tho greater part of the almost $2,000.000 worth of firecrackers annually exported by China comes to New York. And tho United States stands next to China In its use of them. Thousands of Chinese men, women and children work at tho making of firecrackers, for there are no manufactories there, the work being done by hand. They receive only about $1.40 for making 10.000 firecrackers, laboring from six in tho morning until eleven at night seven days a week. So a Chinese woman or child works like a slave for two days to earn what is spent on a few bunches of ftrecrackors by the urchin bent on doing justice to the Glorious Fourth. Keep the Flag Flying. The late Senator Hnnna of Ohio In a speech on an appropriation bill said : "I favor the erection of public buildings in every county nnd. if possible, In every town In the land. I favor such legislation because, although costly, it keeps the flag floating before tho people, and It pnys ultimately In the lessons of patriotism which our young people learn as they grow up. Knowing the flag is to lovo it, and it should bo kept before the people." Now York Tribune. Some Fourth of July Proverbs. A lit firecracker in tho hand isn't worth two in tho pack. There is no use pulling the trigger after tho gun has been flred. Do not look a gift cannon in the mouth. Novor light your Roman candle nt both ends. It is the plnwhecl thnt loses by doing a good turn. Ono swallow doesn't mnko a spring nor ono firecracker n Fourth. Patriotism. A roan's country Is not a certain aroa of land, but It is a principle, nnd patriotism !b loyalty to that principle. Gcorcc William Curtis.

How the Flowers Kept the Fourth. Down In tho gnrdun bosldo tho wall. A whlnptr ran through tho blossoms all (It began with the brown boo's humming) : , "Wo must wake tomorrow, bo dressed nnd gay. For blithe and morry nnd bold, this way, With music nnd marching nnd mirth, they say, Tho Fourth of July Is coming!" The Truntpot-Vlne, in the oarly morn. Blow n Jubilant blnsl on hor sUlnlug horn. Tho BhiebolU softly wore ringing. And pop! pop! pop! the paths beside, Went n hundred buds, as they opened whlo, Thoir sweots to tho broozos flinging. Tho Milkweed's silvery bombshells burst. And tho Thistle hor foathery fireworks first Sent out to the sunshine dancing. Tho gay Ilttlo Snap-Dragon snapped nvvny, And the Flngs by tho brookslde waved all day. Where tho Swordgraes bright was glancing. The Scarlet Geranium burned red fire; The Salvia flamed In a splendid spire At eve In the dusk uprising; Tho Sunllovvor shot out his golden rays, And the crimson Hollyhocks stood ablaze, And the Bluebells loudly were ringing. Tho Fireflies. Hitting the leaves among, A million lamps in tho bushos hung; The crystal dews wero beaming; And the tall white Lilies held a-row Their shining candles, whore below Tho Myrtle stars wero gloaming. Margaret Johnson, In Farm and Home.

Jes' Plain Torpedoes. The good old Fourth's a-comln' the best day in the year. And little rhnps get anxious-like when once it's drnwin' near; They talk of firecrackers and they dream about tho noise. The dear old Fourth was certainly Jes made fer little boys. Bill's got a great big cannon, with fuse you have to light, And lots of great big crackers that's filled with dynamite; But I'm a little feller ain't half as old as he, And I guess that plain torpedoes will have to do for me. Pa says that giant crackers ain't fit fer little chaps. He's sore on all toy pistols and hates these paper caps. He don't intend bis children shall ever celebrate By blowing off thoir fingers he says they'll have to walL "You're nothln' but a baby," my father says "a3 yet, And daddy can't quite spare you; he needs you had. you beL Bill's got some giant crackers? Well, that I know Is true, But I guess that plain torpedoes will have to do for you." It's hard to have big brothers and watch them at their play. And Jes to be a little chap and sort o' in the way; To have folks always tell you, you can't do thus and so, Because you're jes, a little chap not old enough, you know. But ma. she sees I'm tearful, so she takes me in her lap And says: "Why. what's the matter? You're cryin. little chap." Then, as she bonds to kiss me, I'm brave as I can be, I guess that plain torpedoes are good enough for me! Louis E. Thayer, in Woman's Home Companion. A Fourth of July Wish. I wish I had lived for a single day In the city of William Penn; I think I'd hare shouted my voice away "With the rest of tho people, when The bell in the steeple rang out to the sky The very first tlmo on the Fourth pf July. I wish I had stood in the buckled shoos Of a minutomnn's boy, and heard How old Independence rang out the news Oh' I don't think I'd wait for tho word. But I'm pretty sure I would show them that I Was willing to own the first Fourth of July. I wish I had worn a three-cornerod hat In the cP- of Wlllinm Pcnn; My heart v.jhl have heaten a rat-a-tat In the crowd with the mlnutemen, To hear tho boll ring and the morry news fly That this was the very first Fourth of July. Youth's Companion. Unpatriotic Flies. Congress on July 19, 177C, ordered the Declaration passed on the Fourth, fairly engrossed on parchment, with tho title and style of "The unanimous Declaration of tho 13 United States of Aniericn. and that the same, when engrossed, bo signed by every momber of Congress." It was a sultry day In August Jefferson, when In a genial, reminiscent mood, wns accustomed to say that the slKtifng was hastened by swarms of flies that came into the hall through the open window of the stntchouse from a livery stable near by. Tho day's business had been arduous. It was hot and sticky, nnd tho Hies nssaulted the sllk-stocklnged legs of tho honorablo members with vigor nnd roal Tory vlndlctiveness. With handkerchiefs nnd nil avallnble pnpers the fathers of llbertv lashed the files, but with no avail. The onslaught became unendurable, and tho mcmbors. cnpltulatlng, mnde haste to sign nnd bring tho momentous business to a close. Of tho fifty-six signatures not nil were attached oven at this date.
