A Witty Red Man.

In Travels in New England aud New
York President Dwight, If Yale College,
tells a good story of Indian wit aud friend
ship.
In the early days Of Litchfeld, Conn
an Indian called at the tavern and asked
the landlady for food, frankly stating that
he had no money with which to pay for
it. She refused him harshly, but white
man who sat BY noted the red man half
furnished state and offered to pay FOR his
supper.
The meal was furnished, and the Indian.
his hunger satisfied, returned to the FIRE
and told his beneiactor story.
You know Bible =? said the redskin
The man aSsented.
.'Well, said the Indian, the Bible
say, God made world and then lie took
him and look at him and say, He good,
very good He made light, aad He teak
him and look at him and say. He good,
very good. Then He made dry land aud
water and sun aud moon and grass aud
trees, and took him and look at him and
say, He good, very good. Then lie
made beast and birds and fishes, and took
him and look at him and say, He good,
very good.
Then He made man, and took him
and look at him aud say, lie good, very,
very good Then lie make woman, and
took him and look at him, aud He no dare
say one such word
This last conclusion was uttered with a
meaning glance at the landlady

The Word Dollar.

From the New York Tribune
It is remarkable how we accept name

breyity, was shortened into thaler Ia
Spain it was called the daleru, which Is the
dollar that Spanish conquest brought to

of coinage for this country we adopsed the
old Spanish pillar sometimes called milled,
on account Of lis milled rim--dollar a. our

promontories facing each other acruss the
Straits Of Gibraltar, the emblem Of the pil-
lars appearing on the coin The dollar
sign is said TO be corruption of the ser
penis twining around these pillars, rs they
appeared on the old Spanish dollar An
other authority states that the name comes
from the talent Of the Middle Ages, aud
that the dollar sign came from certain Of

The Most Valuable Spot on Earth.


Values vary. 4 writer in the Century
has it that probably the most valuable
spots ON the face Of the earth are the four
corners where Wall street touches Broad,
and the two where it meets Broadway,
in New York city. A million and half
dollars we're paid not long since for five
lots on Broadway opposite Bowling Green,
$500, 900 each In 1929, one Of these
same lots was sold for $40, 500. \ year
ago a lot eighty nine by two hundred and
twelve feet, on the corner of Liberty and
Nassau streets, brought 81 250, 600
These values are for the land alone
Royal palaces, the mansions of milionaires,
the wealth Of Golconda and the mines of
Klondike, all represent unknown and mu-
nifeent money values. But none Of these
quadrupled represent the import, the IN
trinsic worth, blazoned upon the life insur-
ance policies held today awaiting their
mission among the survivors of their own
ers. Who can calculate the significance
of these promises to pay when death claims
its own2 They outshine ''the wealth Of
Ormus and Of Ind.

For those who believe in the fatality of
the number 13, the American quarter dol

After your cellar is cleaned, if there is
the least dampness, use unslacked lime to
absorb the moisture. Place chunk here
and there about the cellar 1t is good
plan to whitewash the walls and ceiling,
making the whitewash yellow with cop
peras, and add little salt. Another
good way to have sweet cellar is to close
the cellar and burn sulphur in it three or
four times year. A clean, dry cellar is
essential to health.

be flyer She is to cross the ocean at an
average speed of eighteen knots, which is
ordinary.
1t has been contend by various steam
ship companies that profits were to be
found in these immense vessels with mod
crate speed rather than in the ocean grey
hounds. The American line is building
four great ships today to make the ordinary
time which this projected monster is ex-
peeted to attain. OF course, there are
plenty of passengers who do not mind an
extra day or two on the water if they can
find accommodations but there always will
be certain number anxious to cross at the
very highest rate Of speed, and willing 10
pay the largest prices for that speed. For
the present it would seem, however, that
we are to have no attempts to beat records
already established The American line
is not seeking the highest speed The
English lines are all content with mOder
alton. 1t has remained for the two Ger
man lines to beat everything afloat and,
having beaten everything, they are resting
upon their laurels Otherwise this 1850
foot monster would be built for record
breaking
Captain Randle long commander in
the American line service, lately of the st.
Louis, long ago advanced the idea that the
time would come when we should have
steamships 1000 feet in length That
time apparently is approaching, but the
rivalry is for bulk rather than ior great
speed.

EXCITEMENT GREAT
Homes And Stock Washed Away
BY the Flood.

Special Dispatch to the Herald.
AUSTIN, Texas, April There is
immense excitement over the break
ing Of the big dam. We are in the
center OF a tremendous flood. The
iron bridges are in danger. Houses
and stock have been washed away
THE GREAT DAM.
The great dam was built in 1893 1t
was situated bout three miles above the
city on the Colorado river snd was one
OF the greatest engineer ing works in
the country.
1t was sixty nine feet high and
twenty eight feet thick at the base of
the slope on the lowest side narrowing
towards the top to about eight feet
broa1 On both sides. The top was
covered with four feet Of Texas granite.
It was HOO feet long.
The lake formed by it was twenty
five miles long. A large steamer
known as the Ben Hur piled on it.
The dam was built to furnish water
and electric power and the electric
plant located at Austin was one OF the
first in the south
1t was a common thing to see six feet
of water flowing over it's crest and
sometimes even more

OF the victims have been recoversd
Many people were on the opposite
side of the dam taking kodak pictures
when the break occurred. They are all
drowned. Hundreds of houses have
been washed away, and the loss will go
into the millions. There are fifty dead
at least. So far, ten dead bodies have
been recovered. News of the terrific
flood is coming in slowly. The rise in
was caused by another cloud burst this
morning. 1t was the most violent
storm of the kind on record.

He would not reply when asked
whether he was gold democrat.
MY statement on public questions

STOCkMEN AROUSED
Planning Ways And Means To De-
feat the Pending Arid Land Bill.

DENVER, April 7.-Delegates are
already arriving in Denver for what
promises to be one OF the most impOr-
taut conventions of stockmen ever held
| In the west. The convention will as
semble Monday and continue in session
two days. The Western Range Stock
growers association, which was
organized last February, took the
initiative In calling the gathering and
has the cooperation OF stockmen
throughout Colorado and other states.
The main purpose of the conven tiOn
at this time is to plan ways and means
to defeat the bill now pending in
congress which provides for the less-
ing of arid lands.
The convention will, it Is believed
represent fully the interests of the
small stOckmen in the west and will
add to the strong pressure
which is already being brought to bear
on members of congress to defeat the
measure which the National Live. Stock
Association is making an effort to put
through.
The convention in this city next
week will be followed by another meet
ing for the sane purpose TO be held
in Salt Lake City.
