Portland women have beautiful complexions because the climate is rniid and moist. The Portland cli mate is neither dry nor salt. Port land ia known thruout the world a « thg City of Rose«. The roses bloom hi our gardens and the blush of the rose is on every woman's cheek." Then The Polk County Post butted in. it declared that if Zieg- ield really wiahed to see the “most boauliiul salesgirl in America" lie would huvg to get off the tram in independence and finished the declaration with this challenge; “W e have the same climate as Portland.

Along the east coast of England, and the English channel, some parts of tile Bristol channel, the Welsh coast, and the coasts of Ireland, one finds parties of treas ure seekers. Wet and dry, summer and winter, they spend their time on the shore following the tide as it ebbs out to sea, and carefully, mi nutely examining the beach, and crevices o f rock, and shallow pools. Some carry a rake, with two long iron prongs, others just a prod of wood or iron. With this they fer ret among the gravel and sand, and crannies in the rocks, casting aside the seaweed, and exploring each spot very searchingly. Their rake or prod at last strikes something hard, there is a ring, a touch, o f metal en countering metal, and a coin is brought te the surface. Sometimes it is only a copjier, sometime« a shil ling or a half-crown, but again, sometimes it is a gold coin struck with the head o f some monarch who reigned two or more hundred years ago.
