Only about a month ago gold was
discovered on W. S. Ingram' land,
and at once Mr. Ingram allowed par
ties to commence prospecting for the
same. As a result in about ten days
the entire neighborhood became great
ly excitcl. As many as fifty men le
gan search at or.c, and an extraordina
rich find has been the result. Last
Saturday a nugget weighing ' dwt.
was found and a great many others
ranging from of a dwt. to ?A) dwt?,
and the farm of about 200 acres that
could have been bought fo .fJ,"00 has
suddenly been increased in value to an
extent unknown. Some say .?.",000
lias been offered for it and others -f 12,
000. As to the manner of working
the mine, the old-fashioned rocker ia
used, but often the gold in clearly de
tected without the use of the rocker.
Mr. Ingram does not want the mine
develoied any farther. It bids fair to
rival the Tel; Saunders mine.
To Protect the Souvenir Coins.
Exchange.
The World's fair directors find them
selves in possession of some 25,000,000
souvenir half dollars which they have
been unable to dispose of at .11 each.
They feel that it would be an injustice
to the people who have paid their dol
lars for souvenirs to issue these at their
face value and have decided rather to
have them coined over in ordinary
halves paying the expenses of so doing
at the mint.
Notice to this effect will be sent to
Washington in a few days. The di
rectors are determined that there shall
he no glut of the coins on the market,
and people who have paid .$1 for them
will probably soon find their value
above the cost price.
Confession of an Editor.

A .'mail boy in Maine, who brought
home a mud turtle from a jond a
quarter of a rnile awny, noticed that
whenever let free, the turtle set off in
a 1-ee line direction to the pond. The
boy tried to eonfu-e the turtle in every
wav he could devi.-c, but the turtle was
too smart for him and always started
off in the right direction as if he knew
where he was going and was bound to
get there in the quickest time possible.
And now the boy has puzzled the
a hole township by demanding to know
how that turtle knew in what direction
his ancestral pond lay.

Turning tho tables on Mr. Depow.
Charily and Children.
"Some years ago, says a writer in
the Detroit Free Press, who might
have been imagining and might not,
"I was in a small town in Xew York
State where Chauneey Depew was bill
ed to make a speech that night, and it
hapjened I stopped at the same hotel
he did. Just after supper the editor
of the local paper dropped in to see
Mr. Peiew and the distinguished gen
tleman proceeded to have some fun
with the country journalist. He had,
too, and every now and then he round
ed up a sentence against the editor by
saying : "Oh, you can't believe every
thing in the newspapers," the editor,
having used newspaper matter verv
largely in his argument.
"After the speech making was over
the editor met Mr. Depew in the hotel
office again, and there was a big crowd
present.
" ' ell, my friend,' inquired the
genial Chauneey, 'what did you think
of my speech ?'
'The editor hesitated a moment.
" 'Are you,' he asked solemnly, 'the
genuine Chauneey M. Depew?
" 'Certainly, why not?'
" Are you the one that all the news
papers have been saying was the finest
epeaker, the greatest talker, the sharp
est stumper and the brightest wit
before the public?' pursued the
editor.
" 'I guess I'm the one,' blushed the
gentleman. Why?"
"Oh, because you can't believe every
thing there is in the newspapers,' and
Depew shook hands with the editor
and called it square."
