THE GOLDEN COI:URN,
liow ,Annibale Tosei, the Beggar,
Became Wealthy.
The stronge happenings are, 1101J
'always inventions in story -books.
In commenting on the recent death
of a certain Annibale Tesci, at
Mantua, . Italy, the Manchester
Guardian retells a tale a buried
teeasure that has 'the mystery and
romence of the roost imaginative
stories about the famous Captain
Kidd, -
Neer the Monastery of San -Vito
in. Naples, stood a raerble column
that haotli been erected by an excen-
trio Frenchman abeut the begin-
ning of the last century. On it were
written. in Freneh the following
enigmatic, words: "On Ma,y
every year, I have a golden head."
The inscription sorely puzeled the
inhabitants: of Naples. On May est,
the, year after the erection of thi
column, a, great orowel came to it
in the hope of finding the:top ocrv-
ere,d with gold piecee. Needlees to
say, they went home with their
pockets OS empty as they were when
they came.
For several years people came to
se,e the promised wonder, and went
away disappointe,d. At last the
authorities had the column taken
down, in the belief that treasure
waulei be found beneath it. Noth-
ing hat earth was found, and 3111 (1110
columri Sita., set up again. Obvious-
ly, the words had a mystics mean-
ing, but 110 one was clever enough
to guess it, and for years the, riddle
remained unsolved.
Finally, in 1841, a, ragged beggar
named Annibale Tosei noticed' the
inscription. Ha stood looking at it
for a king time, while he pondered
its meaning. Then eadelenly the
solution of the puzzle fleshed into
his mind. He waited patiently un-
til May loot, before he tested, the ac-
curacy of his interpretation of the
mystic words.
On the day mentioned in the• in-
acription, Toni, bearing a, pick end
shovel, eel out at daybreak for the
column. Ho arrived before any
chance visitors, and as soon as the
monaetery bells tolled six, he/start-
ed digging in the ground covered by
the shadow of the top of the col-
umn. He had not dug long before
he came on a satchel the+, contained.
80,000 francs. The inscription was
a true one; the head of the column

According to John Ashton , under

CLIMBING A WALL OF ICE.
Terrible Experience in the Rocky
Mountains.
At the close of a winter trip
amtin:s the Rockies, Mr. Enos A.
Mills and his collie, "Scotch,"
started across the continental di-
vide in the face of weather condi-
tions that indicated a snow -storm.
He tells the story of their exper-
ience in "The Spell of the Reck-
les," While the wind blew a steady
gale, they went forward over snowy,
icy ledges, on which there was not
the sign of a path, until they reach-
ed a cliff of Inc that they must
climb.
The last one hundred feet or so
rose steep, jagged, and ice -coveted
before one, There was nothing to
lay hold of; every point of vantage
was plated and coated with ice.
There was only one way to sur-
mount this icy barrier, and that
was to chop toe and hand-holea
from the bottom to the top. Such
a climb would not be especially cliff -
cult or dangerous for ree, but c,ould
Scotch do it?
I grasped my az and chopped my
way to the top. Returning for
Scotch, I started him climbing just
ahead of me, so that I could boost
and eneourage him. We had as-
cencled only it few feet when it be-
came plain that sooner or plater he
would slip, and bring disaster to us
both. We stopped, and descended
to the bottom for a new start.
I determined to carry him. His
weight was tarty pounds, and he
-Would make a top-heavy load. But
as there seemed to be nothing else
to do' I threw' him over my shoulder
and siarted up.
-When I came to a place where it
'was not -very steep, I stopped to
transfer Scotch from one shoulder
th the other, The wind was at its
worst; it would fall quiet one mo-
ment, and then bluster at me with
the suddenness of an explosion. I
was just moving Scotch, when it
suddenly shifted, and rushed, upon
us with the force of an ocean break-
er. It threw me off my balance,
and tumbled me heavily against the
icy slope. Fortunately I managed
to get two fingers into one of the
chopped holes, and held fast. I
clung to Scotch with one arm; we
Came to a jarring stop, bath saved.
Gripping Scotch with one hend
and clinging to the icy held with
the other, I shuffled 'about 'until I
got my feet into two holes in the
-wall. Standing in these, and lean-
ing against the ice, with the wind
pushing and tearing at one, I man-
aged to lift Scotch again to my
shoulder. A few minutes later we
paused to breathe on the icy ridge
of the summit, between two oceans
and amid seas of snowy peaks,
