Women and Business.
Thousands of girls are sent out Into
the world with what is called finished
educations, who cannot even give a
proper recipe for money, to say noth
ing of drawing a promissory note, a
draft or a bill, or understanding the
significance and importance of busi
ness contracts. Such a woman, writes
O S. Marden, in Success Magazine,
presented a check for payment the
paying teller of her bank. He passed
it back to her with the request that
the be kind enough to indorse it. The
lady wrote on the back of the check,
"I have done busines with this bank
for many years, and I believe it to be
a'.l right. Mre. James B. Brown." An
other society woman in New York
presented a check tor payment at the
bank, and the teller told her that it
was not signed. "Oh, do they have to
be signed?" she responded. "What an
awful lot of red tape there is about
the banking business." I know of a
lady whose husband made a deposit
for her In a bank and gave her a
check book so that she could pay her
bills without annoying him. One day
'she received a notice from the bank
that her account was overdrawn. She
went to the bank and told the teller
that there must be a mistake about it,
because she still had a lot of checks
left in her book. She knew so little
about business that she thought that
jshe could keep drawing any amount
tuntil the checks were all gone. This
sounds ridiculous and almost incredi
ble, yet the very girl who laughs at it
may make even more absurd blunders.
.Many an accomplished woman, when
given a pen and asked to sign an im
portant document drawn up by an at
torney or a long-neaaea ousiness man,
'will sign it without reading it or even
asking to be informed of its contents,
only to learn afterwards by disastrous
Jesuits that she has signed away her
pioperty and turned herself out of
,home. Only a short time ago 1 read
of a lady who had won a suit involving
about 120,000. New evidence, however,
was brought forward, which caused the
court immediately to reverse its decls
don. It was proved that the lady had
sworn falsely. She was perfectly inno
cent of any such intention, but she had
sworn that she had never signed her
name to a certain document The doc
ument was produced, and, to her uttet
astonishment, she saw her signature
affixed to it She acknowledged at
ence that the signature was hers, al
though she had just sworn that she
had never signed tha paper in ques
tion. It appeared that, during her hus
band's lifetime, whenever papers were
.signed, he told her where to write her
name, and she did as she was told,
without having the slightest idea of
ine contents of the papers.
Some Dogs Are Lucky.
A big touring car rolled up to the
entrance of a roadside "hotel" over in
Jersey one day lately with two men
en the front seat and two women and
a. beautiful cocker spaniel in the ton
neau. One of the men ordered some
drinks for the party, and as they sat
iefreshing themselves, relates the New
York Press, the spaniel made it known
that he also was thirsty. "He wants
a drink," cooed one of the women.
'Well, how about it?" remarked the
man who was driving the machine to
the German waiter. "Vait a minute,"
replied that functionary, and he dis
appeared behind the swinging doors'
leading to the barroom. Presently he
emerged carrying a tin drink shaker
filled with water. The cocker barked'
bis appreciation and scrambled up on
the seat nearest to the point where
the waiter was holding the tin vessel.
When the dog had finished di inking
one of the women opened her purse
rnd handed the waiter a half dollar.
He made more out of that order than
his employer had for the other drinks.
Not so bad to be a waiter sometimes.
Popular G. A. K. Charm.
Three veterans, hale and hearty de
spite their thin hair and their white
beards, were lunching together. "Do
you see this?" said the first, and he
held his watch charm a ball of dell

I:now what that is? This is the bullet
they took from my left arm at Bull
Hun." The second veteran displayed
his charm a metal ball set in a gold
cross. "This," said he, "is the bulleC
they took out of my leg at Gettysburg."
He sighed. "The bullet they took out,""
he said, "but not the limp." The third
itteran's charm was a bullet set in a
ring of brilliants. "Out of my head,"
said he.
From sanguine San Francisco comes
word of a common diet of bacon and
?ggs. It is the diet that does things.
American wildernesses have been con
quered, cities begun and mines opened
on bacon with or without eggs.
Armies have marched on the same ra;
tions, bringing relief to friends and
trouble to foes. The frying of the flitch,
as an essential incident of life on the
plains and in the forest, throws savory
suggestion from the pages of pioneer
story and history so numerous in the
western states.
An Oklahoma historian raises the
question whether men of the European
race saw that country before John
Smith landed at Jamestown. Doubtless
they did not, since De Soto did not
go so far west and Coranado hardly
ro far east But the white man has
been making up for lost time by get-1
ting into the garden patch of America
with both feet, and to the number of
nearly 1,000,000 in the last 16 years.
And he is there to increase and multi
ply, and he is doing so year by

In all the world nothing stirs the
blood or excites the imagination so
much as a search for hidden treasure.
In fiction or in fact nothing is so en
trancing. Thrilling as are the treas
ure tales of Robert Louis Stevenson,
tales just as thrilling are being en
acted in truth in different parts of
the globe to-day.
At present several interesting treas
ure hunts are under way. In the lit
tle bay of Tobermory, on the west
coast of Scotland, a syndicate is en
deavoring to reach the strong box of
a sunken ship of the Spanish armada
which plunged beneath those waters
with wealth estimated at $15,000,000.
Efforts are being made to raise a
British warship which was sunk in
Balaklava bay during the Crimean
war. Those at the head of this en
terprise expect to reap a golden har
vest of $3,000,000. In prosy England
the marshes of the Wash are being
explored for the royal jewels and
treasure of King John, which were
lost by him during his flight in 1216.
For some months an army of la
borers has been digging for treasure
on the island of Mauritius, once the
resort of daring and successful pi
rates of the Indian ocean. Within
the last 70 years no fewer than IS
gold-seeking expeditions have ex
plored Cocos island, in the Pacific,
and numerous deadly clashes have re
sulted in the search for the millions
thought to be buried there. A search
for treasure is going on there now.
Into almost every clime and to
thrilling adventures the golden Ignis
fatuus of hidden treasure is luring
men. Soldiers of fortune never wove
more romantic or dramatic stories
than those of the present searches for
buried gold.
Seek Armada Treasure Ship.
At present a golden thread of ro
mantic interest is being spun like a
shimmering spider web over Tober
mory bay, one of the loveliest inlets
on the west coast of Scotland. This
bay offers shelter to mariners and
fishermen off the northwest corner of
the Isle of Mull.
At that point a determined search
is on for treasure, which, it is be
lieved, has lain quietly under the wa
ter for more than three centuries.
A halo of romance and tradition
surrounds the gold which is supposed
to have gone down with the Admiral
of Florence, or Florentia, the treasure
ship of the Spanish armada, in 1588.
Legend has it that in September
of that year a large Spanish galleon,
the Florentia, in trying to avoid the
storms and save the treasure on board
until suitable weather made possible
her escape southward, took refuge in
the safe, land-locked bay of Tober
mory. According to reports, the Florentia
had on board $15,000,000 in English
money. The officers and men, who
were starving, demanded food from
the McLeans of Mull.
In return for supplies, after due ne
gotiation, the admiral agreed to land
100 men to assist the McLean clan of
Scotland, which at that time was at
swords' points with the McDonalds.
He was also to pay the McLeans a
large sum of money as well if they
would assist him to repair his ship.
This promise of money is taken to
show the presence of a considerable
quantity of specie on board and as
the vessel was a flagship it Is prob
able that she carried the treasure of
the entire Armada.
The 100 men were landed and as
sisted in defeating the McDonalds.
They were afterward allowed to return
to the ship, but the McLeans held
three officers as hostages until the
debt be paid.
Kept Chieftain a Prisoner.
They also sent one of their chief
tains, Donald Glas McLean, on board
the vessel to collect the price agreed
upon, but the Spanish admiral dis
armed him and kept him a prisoner.
During the night, so the story goes,
MeLsan discovered the position of the
powder magazine. The next morning
as the ship was getting under way
the chieftain was brought on deck to
take a last look at his native land.
Breaking away from his captors, he
rushed below and blew up the ship,
perishing with most of the crew.
Since then a number of endeavors
have been made to recover the treas
nre. In 1641 and again in 1655 the
dukes of Argyle attempted salvage op
erations, but without success. In 1730
a diving hell was employed.
At that time a fine bronze cannon
was recovered, with many gold and
silver coins. Since then other guns
and relics have been brought to the
surface, but the strongroom supposed
to contain the treasure has never
been reached.
Among the articles already recov
ered are sword blades and scabbards,
pistols, large and small; a peculiar
tapering-necked bottle of crude work
manship and bones of drowned Span
iards. The sword blades and scab
bards were heavily incrusted with
lime and the bottle covered with
Crustacea.
One of the early divers found that
the -deck of the vessel from the miz
zen mast forward was blown flway
and that cannon and other contents
of the ship were scattered about for
a distance of 20 yards. The poop
from the mainmast aft, however, was
intact. Here, it is believed, the treas
ure room is located.
Since .then the vessel has settled
considerably and a formation of sand
and mud now covers it. To get
through this a wrecking crew is work
ing under direction of Capt. William
Burns, who has had considerable ex
perience in salvage work.
Sand pumps are being used and the
divers work by the aid of a 2,000
candle power electric light. They
have brought up candlesticks, flagons,
copper pans, coins, a gold ring and a
number of metal and stone cannon
balls.
It is believed that the wrecking
crew has located the position of the
strongroom and will in a short time
be able to penetrate to the treasure.
Half of all recovered, It is understood,
is to go to the duke of Argyle, who
owns the surrounding land, and the
remainder to the Scotch company that
is prosecuting the search.
On Island of Mauritius.
For some months an army of labor
ers has been digging on the island of
Mauritius, in the Indian ocean, search
ing for a treasure valued at $100,
000,000 or more, supposed to have been
buried at the time of the British con
quest or some time before, by the
French officials. This expedition is
being directed by a company formed
for the purpose of unearthing the
treasure.
Part of the wealth is said to have
been secreted in the dstrict of the
Black mountain by French officials,
and it is in that locality that the
present feverish search is being prose
cuted. England is excited just now over an
attempt to recover the royal jewels
and treasure lost by King John in the
Wash, when he fled across the marshes
in 121C.
In preparation for the search St.
John Hope, assistant secretary of the
Society of Antiquarians, has made a
study of the tides and land shiftings
from the time King John lost his bag
gage and his wealth until the present.
The Wash has changed in its course
since 1216 and Mr. Hope calculates
that the treasure wagons will be lo
cated at Sutton bridge, where there is
23 feet of silt.
Another search for wealth long hid
den beneath the waters is being con
ducted at Sebastopol, in the Crimea.
Armed with government authority,
salvage experts have undertaken to
raise from the bottom of Balaklava
bay a large British man-of-war sunk
by Russian gunfire directed against
the British, French and Turkish op
ponents of the czar.
It is stated ha members of the Rus
sian admiralty possess trustworthy
information to the effect that the
sunken man-of-war contains a large
sum of money originally destined for
the payment of the British forces.
The present attempt is progressing
under the supervision of a well-known
specialist in salvage, Sig. Restucci,
an Italian.
Knows of Pirate's Hoard.
A few weeks ago a Boston woman,
who signed the name "Sadie J. Ma
son" at the bottom of a newspaper ad
vertisement for backers for her en
terprise, asserted that she had learned
the hiding place of millions of treas
ure which was captured by the cut
throat crew of a ship that flew the
"Jolly Roger" for a number of suc
cessful years and was finally burned,
three-quarters of a century ago, on
an island in the St. Lawrence gulf.
Miss Mason asserted that in the
spot of which she had learned there
were millions in gold, silver and jew
els, waiting only to be taken away.
At last accounts this vast treasure
trove had not been unearthed.
Familiar to every newspaper read
of recent years is the story of the
famous Cocos island treasure. Dur
ing the last 70 years no fewer than
18 expeditions have set out to recover
this pile of gold and jewels. Indeed,
more than once parties have engaged
in deadly conflict. Search is in prog
ress there at the present time.
Cocos island is a patch of land, 16
square miles in extent, rising from
the Pacific ocean off the coast of Costa
Rica, to which country it belongs.
Two treasure "plants" are supposed to
be located there, one of $60,000,000 and
the other of $15,000,000.
The first is called the Bonita treas
ure, after the notorious pirate of that
name. For many years Bonita flew
the black flag and cross bones in the
Caribbean sea and accumulated great
stores of plunder. Driven from those
waters finally, he crosssed the Isthmus
of Panama and began operations on
the Pacific.
Wealth Buried by Bonita.
In 1821, after the surrender of
Donaja to the Liberator Iturbide, vast
stores of government wealth were re
moved from the City of Mexico.
Bonita, it is stated, managed to cap
ture the treasure and hurried with
his spoil to Cocos island, where he
buried it.
The other "plant," called the Mary
Dier treasure, was committed to the"
keeping of Cocos island by the crew
of the ship of that name, which hap
pened to be in the harbor of Cal
lao, Peru, during a war upheaval.
All the treasures and plate of the
cathedral and of the churches of Lima
and the surrounding country were
hurried to the Scotch ship Mary Dier.
In addition many wealthy citizens
placed their choicest possessions on
the vessel. In all it is stated that
the ship's unexpected cargo amount
ed in value to over $15,000,000.
This proved too much, tradition
states, for the officers and crew. The
guardians of the wealth were over
powered and the treasure was land
ed and buried on Cocos island until
such time as it could be recovered
and used.
Some time later the vessel and most
of the crew were lost. The captain,
named Thompson, made his way to
Canada and died there. He com
municated his secret to one Keating,
who made several trips to the island
and succeeded in recovering about
$3,000 in golden doubloons.
Since then numerous exploring ex
peditions have visited the island
Only last year two of these came into
conflict and a savage fight ensued
There have been other fights over the
treasure.
Many Parties Hunt Treasure.
At present the island is guarded by
Capt. Matthews, its governor and part
owner. He is directing the search
Harold Gray, of Ireland, claims the
concession to hunt the treasure, but
the claim is combated by others. An
armed expedition under Lord Fitz
williams of England had a brush with
the Gray forces last year and the
Costa Rican government was com
pelled to send a gunboat to restore
order. As far as known the Cocos
island treasure remains undiscovered
Most treasure hunts are being con
ducted by companies which provide
capital as a speculation. Now and
then, however, the story comes tc
light of some gold-dazzled individual
who sinks all his possessions in chas
ing the golden will-o'-the-wisp.
One such man William S. Meade
died recently, penniless and alone in
New York. Early in life he made ?
fortune through an invention, but
spent it all chasing the ignis fatuus
of hidden treasure.
Meade asserted he had fallen heir
to maps and directions that would
lead to buried wealth Jhat would rim
up into the millions. He purchased a
large and expensive steam yacht)
manned it with a large crew and ma
chinery for raising sunken galleons,
supposed to. be full of Spanish geld
and soon after the civil war set sail
for the south seas.
Disaster, wreck and privation fell
to the lot of the first cruise and
Meade and his companions wore
forced to return without a single find
More money was sunk in fitting out
another expedition, but this, too, was
a failure that ended in a shipwreck.
All Off.

Recently there have been offered
evidences of general activity among
the anarchists of the world. The at
tempt to assassinate the king and
queen of Spain on their wedding day
and the score of deaths and many in
juries resulting from the bomb throw
ing in this attempt; the open rejoic
ing of anarchists in Paterson, N. J.,
over the Madrid assassination; the
arrest of a Pole in Portland, Ore.,
with the discovery of a plot to kill
President Roosevelt; in Rome the
police finding several bombs when
raiding a meeting of anarchists.
As there are socialists and social
ists, so are there anarchists and an
archists. Not all anarchists are
bomb throwers and assassins, nor be
lievers In these methods of bringing
about change in the social order. The
word anarchy was first used in its
French form by Proudhon in 1840, in
an essay entitled "What Is Property?"
Since, the word has come into very
wide use. Some of the theories it
designates are ancient "the best of
them formulated in definite language
by Proudhon and his personal fol
lowers." The International gives us four
definitions of anarchy, four different
groups of theories. The' first may be
called idealistic anarchy; and this the
theory, anarchy the result of absolute
individualism in thought as well as in
social activity. Next we have Proud
hon's theory which he himself re
garded as impracticable anarchy an
economic and social system whereby
the individual should be free to pro
duce what he pleased, get the full
product of his labor, and under no
compulsion of social regulation or law
in any of his economic relations to
his fellows. The third definition
anarchy represents a communistic or-
EMMA
ganlzation of individuals in society
having perfect freedom and equality
between themselves as in the produc
tion and consumption of goods, and
offering a combined resistance to all
existing forms of social order, law
and government. And now we come to
the fourth, to the popular concept of
anarchy, chaos and violence anarchy
comprises 'all attempts to destroy the
existing social crder without any ref
erence to any theory of reconstruc
tion, and by the use of any means,
fair or foul, by which individuals or
authority, may be destroyed. In this
last class are grouped the "ultra-radicals,
who are the uncompromising
enemies of public order and decency,
who plan murders and reckless public
calamities. They are the fanatics who
have been most in evidence in recent
years.
The Russian agitator Bakunin
(1814-1876) about the time of the ap
pearance of Proudhon's "What Is
Property?" was becoming prominent
as one holding radical social views;
in 1848 was In the very center of the
revolutionary movement with which
all Europe was then convulsed. He
became more and more radical in
views and utterances, and his views
were widely disseminated.
The terrorists are the last word in
anarchists, those that shout from the
housetop: "Save humanity by blood
and steel and poison." To this class
belonged Most; belongs Emma Gold
