Ter 4a pretty question for the lawyers: A hundred years or more ago some valuable china dishes were buried by a family by a famrly by the name of Carr, in what is now-O: county, New York, The land p: into other hands, and in the course of time—a few weeks ago—a farm band, plowing iu the fleld, tound the precious relics. Many were broken by the plow, but a great many were saved, and they are valuable, for col- lectors of old china are anxious to get hold of this particular collection. But the trouble is that there are mauy claimants for the china. First there is the hired mau who was hold- ing the plow whict: uncovered the rare @d rélics. On the principle that tne finder is first ownes the dishes belonged to him, Then theye is the man who rented the farm, and for whom the coverer was. working, ‘On the principlé that the servant's time belongs to his employer and also that he js entitled to whatever the farm produces the dishes beionged to him. the farm, and who rented it to the man who hired the chap who made the discovery, and he claims owner. ship to the dishes because he is the owner of the farm, and while the lessee is eutitled to the crops he bas no claim to what may be produced underground. The fourth claimant is to be found in heir (or heirs) of the Carrs who. buried the dishes: It is presumed that they will tlad difficulty in setting upa claim, fer it will not be easy to prove that these were the dishes Grandma Carr took such par- ticular care of, and so the otherclaim- ants may tell them to go to and prove tithe. It is also suggested that the state may geta hand in the muddle property of deceased persons revert to the commonwealth, thus making a tifth claimant for the coveted plats ters, plutes, turcens and teacups. Plenty of Finns Coming. According to the Aitkin Age, a ! Finnish colony, which will probably be the largest in America, is to be established in Northern Minnesota duripg the summer. It is expected | that vot less than 50,009 Finns will come to this country by Sept. Ist. A company which was incorporated recently has purchased 60,000 acres of wild land in Aitkin county, a narrow strip along the west line of Pine county, aud thousands of acres in ad- adjoining counties. It is proposed to colonize this land exclusively with Finns. As soon as this land is all taken up, move will be acquired. The opposition of the Czar of Rus- sia, who is the ruler of the Finns, given as the reason for the heavy emigration from Finland. Some will want to start farming at once, aud these will be placed on land regurdless of first payments being made. The Finns are‘an honest peo- ple, and the management of the com- pany has no fear of losing money by trusting them. The Finns are es- pecially adapted to timbér countries and que-who is not an expert with an axe is an exception. Early Closing Notice.

Accord- ing to the Cracow papers he was a plumber and had reached his 116th year. That alone should carry him high in the list of “Old Parrs,” but <he fact—if fact it be—which is probably without precedent is that at the age of 112 he was still following his trade.

Goy. Odell-of New York, tells this story of a Néwburg parson well known for the extremely: optimistic view he takes of other men’s misfortunes. One day this hopeful divine was called in to administer spiritual comfort to an Irishman who was lying in the emer- gency hospital at Fishkill Landing. The peo? fellow had lost both legs in an accident in a stone quarry, and was taking what the saintly doctor con- sidered an impassioned view of ts,| prospects. “Come, my good -man,” said the parson, “cheerfully, “it’s the loss of a pair of legs, to be sure, but it’s not so bad as it might be.” “Saoure, I dunno but you're roight,” replied the felow glumly.. ‘“’Twould have been a dom™ sight worse if I'd been a chorus girl.” » For: and ~Against.
