Mr. George A. Hudson received the in
formation by telegraph from Tampa yes

million in ten years if I were young
man and could start with 500, 600.
But suppose you did not have

"Then I'd start with $40, 1000 and

But, Mr.. Huntingdon" said,
'it is not every young man that has
$40, What would you do if you
did not have that sum"
"a young man in this day and
generation who does not possess SlO,-
600 had better stay at home and work
at something till he gets it" was the
answer. And" he continued, II
guess the only way to get it is to
save it..

forts that crown eminences about the

colors used in painting houses, the
gray old churches, the peculiar archi-
lecture and the tops of palm trees

Cape Horn Indians.

The Indians of the Immediate vi

cans. Darwin summed up the de-
descriptions of all previous observers
of this race when he called them
sayages of the lowest grade. so
they have seemed to be to all other
casual observers who have followed
him. But when in 1870 an English
missionary came to live among them
permanently the facts which ne
learned about them were found SO as
tonishing as to almost pass Delief:
When he had completed lexicon OF
the language he found it contained
forty thousand items, or ten thou-
sand more than the highest estimate
of the number in any lroquols
tongue.
They had orators, historians, poets
and novelists in spite of their lack
of a written language. The folk
lore was OF the greatest interest, and
their poetry was delightful, but the
most remarkable part of their litera-
ture was in their tales, OF which the
noint was found in what the listener
was pretty sure to think OF and not
directly in what the speaker said.

The sod houses in which many OF
the farmers of Western Kansas brave
the blizzards are admirably adapted
to the purpose. 1t should also be
said that they are the coolest of dwell
ings during the heated term. The
manner of construction is us follows
"The farmer cuts tie slabs Of sod for
building purposes just as sod is cut
for transplanting grass. The buffalo
grass indigenous to the Western Kan
sas country grows like thick mat Of
tough herbage. The slabs OF this sod,
about fifteen by twenty-four inches
and four inches thick, hold together
with the consistency of felt. They
are laid in courses like building stone,
and pressed closely together, and the
roof is made of timbers and frequently
thatched. The inside is then smoothed
with the native lime, which makes M
excellent plaster. This coat OF lime is
sometimes applied outside also, but
usually these sol houses present q
natural dun color like the winter
prairie. In some cases the floor is
made by excavating few feet and
tramping the ground solid with horses; !;
otherwise . regular wood floor is laid.
The window and door frames are fitted
as in building stone house. The sod
house contains frequently only one
room, but some have two aud eve:l
three rooms" The SOL house lasts
about five years.

to keep at respectful distance, as
plainly as if, instead of embroidered

In view of this there is something
