GOLDEN HOURS NEVER FOUND
Stories of Vast Wealth Hidden In
West Indies May Be Merely
Romantic Tales.
The British West Indies may not
be worth much in money, but they arc
rich in money tradition. It was the
lure of these Islands that brought
the avaricious gold hunters of Colum
bus, way across the seas in search of
the fabled wealth of the western isles.
It was here that the brave British
admirals went to "singe the king of
Spain's beard."
Stories of sunken money-ships and
burIed treasures in and around the
islands are niumerous. Capt. Kidd,
Morgan and many other famous buc
enneers made the islands their rendez
vous. Sir Walter Itaelgh went there
and so did the ill fated Darien.
In later years the islands were
fought over by the Spanish, British,
Dutch and French. The latter were
supposed to be very rich, but when
the British drove themn from tile Is
land they were unable to find the
hidden gold.
An old negress once toldi a story
that renewed interest inI this fabled
French wealth. Aln old man tIlI

Brilliant Thoughts That H-ave Come
to Men of Genius in Their
Hours of Repose
There is a photograph, with which
most of us are no doubt familiar, of
Mark Twain at work in bed-holding
his writing pad on his knees, and
having the things he needed for his
labor disposed about on tables on
either side. But the idea of working
in bed was not original with Mark.
Many eminent men before him did
the same thing, a writer in the Phila
delphia Ledger says, Indeed, no, small

One of the hest known lines in Eng
Ilsh poetry carne into its author's head
when he was actually asleep. Whlile
visiting at Minto, Thomas Campbell
one evening went to bed early, with
his mind full of a new poem. About
2 o'clock in the morning he suddenly
awakened repeating, "Events to come
cast their shadows before." Itinging
the bell sharply, he summoned a ser
vant. The man found Campbell with
one foot in bed and one on the floor.
"Are you Ill, sire" he asked.
"I was never better in my life," sald
the poet. "Leave the candle and bring
1ne a Cup of teli."
Seizing his pen he put down the
happy thought, changing "events to
come" into "corning events," and over
the noninebrlat ing cuip, lie fin ished the
first driaft of "L~om-iiel's WVaraing."
