Get-Rich-Quick Bubbles That Have Burst By HARLEY MATTHEWS THE MIRAGE OF EL DORADO

Here is a bubble 400 years old, which, for some, is not burst yet. Man's cupidity would not let it be pricked, and through those years thousands of lives and wealth untold have been sacrificed to chasing this golden bubble called El Dorado. In the early days of their occupation of South America, the Spaniards began to hear strange tales of a king who lived to the east of the Andes. When made king, the story went, his body was anointed with perfumed gum and powdered gold dusted over him. It may have been a cheap way of dressing after all, for when his suit wore thin anywhere, more gold had only to be dusted on. As time went on more was heard of this Gilded Man. or El Dorado as the Spaniards called him. To be proclaimed king he was placed in a boat, gold and emeralds at his feet, and launched on a lake, info which, with his people watching' from shore, he cast the treasure. Then he returned to land, their ruler. The bottom of the lake was reputed to be full of treasure, as this ceremony had prevailed for centuries. In a short time the name El Dorado was being applied to the lake, and later to the mythical city on its shores. Reports placed it in different regions, but soon the fame of ElDorado was ringing throughout Europe. In the year iri.5, Sebastian de Delalcazar made efforts to find the lake, but returned only with further rumors. Six years later Gonzala Pizarro gathered 500 of his countrymen and 4,000 Indians and set out from Quito. They had gone but a few miles into the mountains when they were in difficulties. With cold winds and drenching rain many of the Indians died, and in a short time all food and clothes rotted in the damp air. The survivors ate their horses and even the dog. Still they persisted, the golden mirage luring them on. Reaching a river they set to work to build a brigantine, using the dead horses' shoes where iron was needed. But it was all in vain. The survivors, 100 Spaniards and not a single Indian, returned to Yuito after sixteen months' absence their bod'es al FRECKLES Delightful New Vanishina Cream, Containing True Buttermilk, Quickly Shows a Decided Improvement.

They had already made three efforts, but no expense to be spared this time, 130 men being sent out under Phillip Von Hutton. Setting out from Barquisimeto, they met an Indian who showed them seme golden apples, which he said were from the city they sought. But. winter came on, and all progress was stopped by the rains. Losing all their food they were forced to eat grubs and ants. By the spring only 40 of the party were left. But they still saw the mirage of El Dorado. They came to a city, which their guide told them contained monstrous idols of gold. Then follows their story of a battle that sounds as fabulous as El Dorado itself. The little band attacked tbe

Before he could start out again, Von Hutton was murdered. But the stories of the Idols that his men said they had seen, and the reputed wealth of the city gave a new impetus to the search. Men felt that now they knew at least in what direction the land of El Dorado lay. Rumor now made Lake Guavavita the real El Dorado, and in 1562 a merchant named Sepulveda spent a fortune trying to drain it.

But this did not damp SUva's ardour.' In a few years he was again in 1 Spain seeking men" and money for anotner expedition. He got them, strange to say. This expedition met a worse fate, only one man returning. Shortly afterwards Gonsalo Ximenes de Quesada, undeterred by his brother's failure previously, set out with an 1 immense army which had cost $2,000.u"v w equip, r ires ana rain assaiiea them, and soon the way was. strewn with dead. Most of the survivors de serted, but still Quesada kept on. After three years he returned. Our of 300 Spaniards only 74 were alive, and but four out of the 1,500 Indians who set out with him. Still Quesada never lost faith in the existence of LI Dorado. Before he died he bennpat hprl the nuoet in Vita I nephew Antonio de Berio. After his uncle's death de Berio set out, and, encouraged by further rumors, strug gled on for three years, enduring all the hardships of his predecessors. When he returned to civilization he was still convinced that the magic city could yet be discovered, and sent de Vera to Spain to raise money for another expedition. De Vera showed Spain jewels and gold which he said the region abounded with. " All classes of people came with their subscriptions. Spain" soon became El-Dorado mad. No less than 100.000 ducats were contributed. The expedition set out 2.000 strong, hut it was soon de pleted by death and sickness. It was attacked by Indians and in a few months hut 30 returned. From this time on expedition after expedition set. out on the Golden Quest. Sir Walter Raleigh gave out his intention of heading an expedition, and such was his reputation that men all over England put their money into the venture. Though he discovered much new country, he got no glimpse of Ed Dorado, and returned to England after several years. But this was not enoug-h, and in 161", after 21 years, he again embanred on the ouest, which ended as fruitless as beI fore.

feet of mud, and a few baubles and a piece of pottery. Even today there arc people who believe that the ruins of El Dorado will

be found, somewhere in the vast un explored region between the Orinoco and Amazon rivers. And all this belief persisted, and these lives were sacrificed against the expressed opinion of an early chronic ler, that the Indian only put out the rumors of El Dorado to lure the adventurous from civilization and attack and rob them. If this be the case it shows that even the simple Indian had a knowledge of human nature. (Copyright 1920 by The McClure Newspaper Syndicate) 'Ohio News Flashes I COLUMBUS.

Few Folks Have Gray Hair Now Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe ot Sage Tea and Sulphur. Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage 1 and Sulphur Compound," which darkI ens the hair so naturally, so evenly. i that no one can possibly ten it has I been applied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning I the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.
