Bandits’ Buried “Loot”’ | Awaits Lucky Finder About one hundred thousand dollars in gold dust and currency lies buried in a certain Colorado gulch and has been there since 1864. The currency was wrapped in oiled silk and the dusf was placed in tin cans. This treasure was interred by Jim and John Reynolds, leaders of a gang of outlaws which terrorized three states during the closing years of the Civil war. By adding murder to highway and stage robbing, they so incensed the citizens of Park county that a posse went forth to exterminate them. It was while in hiding from this posse in Geneva gulch at the junction of Deer and EIX creeks, which flow into the Platte river, that the Reynolds brothers, without informing the other bandits, hid their loot. ]

The exact spot selected for the cache was an abandoned mine tunnel. A nearby tree was suitably marked, and the-brothers fled with their gang: One was killed by the posse, Jim Reynolds and four others were Killed in a bunch some weeks later. Finally there was but one left alive. John Reynelds. He was shot while attempting, with Albert Brown, to raid a ranch. Brown carried him to a place of refuge and Rej'nolds, realizing that ne was about to die, told Brown about the buried wealth and how to find it. In addition, he drew a rough map of the locality which has descended through photographed copies to the present day. Having done this, Reynolds being full of bullets, gave up the ghost. '»

- Yet, though men have been searching for this treasure for over half a century, it has not been found. Forest fires have swept the gulch and the old tunnel undoubtedly has caved in, burying within its embrace the loot hidden. by Jim and John Reynolds in the brief pause of a flight from 1 posse.—Josiah M. Ward, in Adventure Magazine. ;

Chief Proved Worthiness

How did the story of Hercules and the three-headed monster, Cerberus, at the entrance of Hades stagger -the youthful imuagination! What strength, what daring right at the mouth of the eerie underworld! Yet from British East Africa comes a news dispatch with the story of a native chief who braved a blazing and spitting leopard barehanded. Hercules’® story after all is but mythology, but Murigo was Trimu’s in reality. Leopards had been raiding the Kkraals. Several of the chief’s subjects had been killed. One morning the alarm was given and Trimu, seven feet tall and a giant in strength, ran from his hut and, seeing the leopard mauling two natives, tackled him with his bare hands and tore him to pieces. The natives of British East Africa apparently exercise due common sense when they elect their chiefs.—Pierre Van Paasen in Atlanta Constitution,

Hunting in Siberia

Hunting is still of considerable economic importance over large parts of Siberia, particularly in the tundra and the forest regions. In some localities it is the chief means of livelihood, while in others it supplements fishing and farming. Sparse population favors the survival of fur-bearing animals, but the supply is decreasing as the country becomes more thickly settled. In consequence of the increase in the number of hunters and the more intensive methods of hunting fur-bear-Ing animals are killed faster than they multiply. This destruction has led the Russlan government to restrict the huntIng of wild animals and birds. Animal sanctvwaries have been established. It is difficult, however, te enforce huntIng laws over such a vast territory inhabited by so primitive a people.

Japanese Women Lawyers?

Japanese women will be allowed to practice law in the courts of the empire if a measure advocated by the woman suffrage party receives the approval of the next diet session. Discussing the proposed bill, which would put women barristers on the same plane as the male members of the bar, one of the leaders of the woman suffrage party said: “Women have proved to be good doctors and they are certainly better fitted to deal with crimes and home problems than men because they understand them better. The argument that women are too sentimental is ridiculous.”

GLATED TRAIL ' GARAGE

PLACETOO HEAVY . - TAX ON DIGESTION Common Fault Is Overworking the Stomach. Among civilized people the digestive organs are constantly overworked. The process of digestion cannot be ‘“hustled,” like the brain or the nerve system, is a warning given /by Walter M. Gallichan, in the Buffalo Express. Roast beef requires fully four hours for digestion and bread about three hours. Salt fish, goose, dried haricot beans and peas are not digested under about five hours, . Speaking generally, an average dinner requires between four and five hours for the digestive organs to do their work.

The custom of eating four meals a day is a continual tax upon the digestive apparatus. It is one of the gravest of all our dietetic fallacies that constant stoking of the human engines is essential for producing energy. The stomach only works normally when it is permitted reasonable intervals of rest. L :

Even during sleep, if a hearty meal has been taken an hour or so béfore retiring, the digestive machinery lis hard at work. We rest the muscles after exertion and we relax brain activity while asleep; but the unfortunate stomach is worked overtime habitually. This {s why the ordinary rejoinders to an inquiry concerning the health of our acquaintances are “Pretty fair” or “Fairly well” at the best, while very often they are: “Not very well” or “Not at- all up te the mark” Three good meals a day should be the maximum, with at least four-hour intervals in between. Many persons engaged in sedentary occupations benefit by reducing the meals to“two a day. The habit of eating luncheon at balf-past one, afternoon tea, with cakes and pastries at five, and a four or five-course dinner at seven is a cruel te:t of the working capacity of the long-suffering digestive tract. In cases of Vvery feeble digestive functioning small and frequent meals have been recommended by some physiclans. - On the other hand, in some forms of dyspepsia fasting within reasonable limits has proved beneficial.

Workers in National Park

£ Yellowstone park has a voecabulary all its own and tourists visiting it the first time have many surprises in store for them. An automobile driver is never a chauffeur in the park. He is a “gear jammer.” A waitress is always a “heaver,” and a cook is known-only as a “meat burner.” Most of the employees in the hotels and camps of the park are students. Twenty universities and colleges are represented among the hundreds of waitresses and housemaids working in the big hotels and camps. There are also many school teachers among the women employees, and this year most of these motored to the park in their own cars. The chauffeurs and other men employees of the transportation and hotel company also came chiefly in their own autos. Many of the students motored all the way from New York, and large numbers of them came from California. -

King Goes to the Wood

Ethiopia is an ancient country, but for generations its capital has been merely a temporary home for the king. This dignitary located in some sharp peak surrounded by military defense. A rambling village sprang up around it and all was well until the wood of the vicinity was exhausted, whereupon the court and its followers moved to a new location. Addis Ababa has been the capital for some time and promises to be a permanent one for the reason that a foreign element was attracted to this place and made some improvements of a permanent nature, and when the last movement was proposed such a great protest was heard against leaving these modern conveniences 'that the court decided to stay.
