Western Steamboats,.

The oldest steamboat company In the
world, organized in 1918, is still in
existence. and runs boats between Gin
cinnati, Louisville and ST. Louis. under
the title of the United States Mail Line.
This concern built the first steamb boat
designed exclusively for passengers
She was named the Gen. Pike. It
took her thirty-one hours to make her
trips between Louisville and Cincin-
natl, trip that is made at the present
time in nine hours. In 1923 there were
public rejoicings at Louisville, KY,
when a steamboat arrived there in if
teen days and six hours from New Or

plimentary toast, gravely stated that
the upward passage might possibly be
accomplished IN fifteen days, or six
hours less than the time he had just
made. Within twenty years the pas
sage was performed in a few hours

the distance, fourteen hundred and
eighty miles, can be made by the fast

A RICH-INDIAN-T TRIBE.
One Condition in Which 1t Pays to Have
q Large Family.


Located near Arkansas City,. Ark. i.
are the Osagss, nrobably<the richest
tribe of Indians in the WILD. They
number about three hundred men,
women and children, each of whom re-
ceives from the government between
three hundred and four hundred dol
lars annuity in interest on the pur-
chase price of lands sold many years
ago. In addition to this they derive a
good income from the rent of land on
the reservation now occupied by them,
most of it being used by cattlemen for
grazing purposes. They are negotiate
ing for the sale of the reservation, or
that part ofit which they do not wish
to retain TO be divided in severalty.
Many of the Osages, says the Wash
ington Star, are highly educated, and
some Of them enjoy all the luxuries Of
modern civilization. There are sev-
eral magnificent residences ON the lit
tie reservation. Probably the most
imposing of these is that of Frank
Denoya, just completed. It is splen-
didly finished and furnished through
out. 1t is provided with hot and cold
water baths, and all other appoint
ments that are TO be found in the bet
ter class of city homes. Servants are
employed to do all of the Homework,
and an accomplished teacher is kept to
instruct the female members of the
family in music and other accomplish
ments of polite society. AS fast as the
children complete the primary course
of education they are sent to the best
schools in the country to receive in
struction in the higher branches.
While Mr.. Denoya is still compare
lively young man, he has family OF
twelve children, each of whom receives
over thirty dollars month from the
general government. In addition to
this they receive rental for twelve
hundred acres of grass land. He has
inclosed and under cultivation one
hundred and sixty acres of fine VAL
ley land for each member of his family,
which earns yearly rental of three
dollars per acre. His income from alb
sources amounts to more than twelve
thousand dollars per annum. He has
not dollar Of tax to pay, and his chill
dren are educated without cost to him
While there is every induoement for
the Osages to raise large families, the
tribe is steadily decreasing in num-
bers, and it viii be, it is said, but a
short time after they take their allot-
ment in severalty and break up tribal
relations before the race viii be ex-
tinct. They do not work, and those
who have not improved their oppor-
tunity to adopt the mode of living of
their well-to-do white brothers are
vagabonds. The trade of the Osages is
much sought after by merchants of
towns in the surrounding country.
Before the opening of the Cherokee
strip it all came to Arkansas City,
which was the nearest trading point,
but now no less than three towns have
been started whose only excuse for
their existence is their nearness to the
Usage reservation.

the available steam power of the
world is equivalent to the force that
could be exerted by 200, 600, 900 horses
or by 1000, 600, 600 men. He says that
$500, 900 will enable him to do with

which, followed out to its conclusion,
means that the value of human muscle
is only equal to $40 worth of machines.

contents into his mouth and threw his head
back, swallowing with n quick gulp. Then
he looked out of the window again, and
waited fora certain Circumstance.
One of the last things he heard was the
Company saying to the lovely typewriter dam
sci; wasn't this the night you were going to

There was great deal of applause at the
conclusion of this tableau. The king came SO
near to smiling that the chairman began to
feel safe and reckless.

be the last hof hour attractions for this day."
He bowed very low, and, still bowling at odd
moments, returned to his chair.
The king frowned as he watched him. but
he said nothing, for the play was beginning.
These two, this young man and his wife,
had only been married little over year,
and that year had been as q dream of perfect
happiness. These twain had been one, In the
most complete and delightful way possible.
All their Joys and sorrows they had shared.
But now there happened to them Circum-
stance that wrought a cruel change in them
both, The Circumstance was loveable one,
and that was the pity of it. The young hus-
band looked at the Circumstance and began
to feel a fearful hate toward it, for the reason
that he caught his wife looking at it with love
in her eyes. And there were moments when
she, too, looking at it. found her husband S
eyes fixed lovingly upon it, and then she
hated it flereely and bindly. AS for the Cir
cumstance, it kept smiling TO itself.
Jealously and unreason reigned now be-
tween these two They grew nervous, touchy,

was robbing him or her Of the others love.
And then, again, there came moments when,
driven by pride and vanity, each determined
to conquer in ths fight and win the sole title
to the Circumstances love.
One day fearful thought came TO them
both. Each struggled with the thought but
it triumphed. Then they gave way to it.
The thought in each of them was that If the
Circumstance were out OF the way they might
return to the old days when they loved each
other so dearly.
The Circumstance was lying upstairs
asleep. Through the half-open door the hus-
band approached on tiptoe. He went round
to the other side of the couch, and in his
hand, which was shaking q little, was glass
OF water. He had reached the farther side OF
the couch and was just pouring white pow
der into the water when his eyes took on a
queer, fixed stare.
Through the half-open door came his wife,
and in her right hand was glass OF water
Her eyes were fixed upon the face OF the Cir
cumstance, and in the lines OF her own face
a battle was raging between love and self
sacrifice and hate.
The eyes of husband and wife met, and
two glasses OF water went crashing to the
floor. Quick signs OF shame dyed their
faces, and after an instant of helpless con-
sternation they came into each others arms,
and for long time held each other so, ST.
lently.
When the Circumstance awoke it heard
them speaking all manner Of strange things.
''We will never let it come between US
again." they were saying. "We will love
each other first, and for il we will have an
equal, though secondary affection. But
first Of all, We will love each other"
