stories of the treasures of the west.
Indians and trappers brought to the
frontier tales which by the time they
reached official circles were warped,
twisted and distorted out of all possible
truth. One tale was that there was at

mysterious stream, Il mountain of salt,
one hundred miles long and no men
could tell how high. 1t was of pure crys-
tails of rock salt which glittered in the
sunshine with dazzling brilliance. There
was in one heap all the salt man would
need for all time. This fiction of q
mountain of salt did have it's influence
in the decision to buy the Louisiana
tract, although the story was taken
with Il few grains Of salt itself. JEFF

Sioux City Tribune:
Towering straight, conspicuous and
substantial, an index finger in history,
where the hum of the adjacent city is
like the murmur of the prairie winds
that sweep the bluff where it stands,
the monument to Sergeant Charles
Floyd, patriot and adventurous explor-
er, Of the Lewis and Clark expedition
OF 1903, was dedicated with fitting cere-
monies on Thursday, May 30.
Thenceforth the tablets of bronze
on the sides of the massive base will
entitle Sioux City to place in history
as having provided the first testimonial
to the heroism of the first white man
who gave his life in the service of the
United States in ascertaining what the
lands were which lay west of the Mis-
sissippi in the territory Of the Louis
lana purchase.
There is more real history represent
ed in the monument erected above the
bones of Sergeant Floyd than in all

Emporia, Kas., Gazette: Monday
afternoon While the cooking school was
in session a reporter for the Gazette
found five young women of this town
out gadding Commercial street. Their
names are:
Miss Mabel Wilmington of 7O1 Market.
Miss Inez Post of 1920 West
Miss Myrtle Harrington of 800 Ex-
change.
Mrs. John Slowly of 519 Exchange.
Miss Earle Rizer of 427 Constitution,
These girls are all daughters of re-
spectacle parents, though none of them
is rich. The girls all wear good clothes,
and the Miliington girl, at least. though
she is only Ia, is SO badly overdressed
that people wonder what her mother
can be thinking about The girl boasts
among her friends that she doesn't in
tend to learn to cook, and then she'll
never have to. Her father went through
the bankruptcy court last year. Old
settlers say the Wilmington girls moth.
er used to make the same boast. One
of her fathers creditors was a baker
whom Wilmington owed $215 for bread,
pies and cookies bought since 1890. The
Post girl is newcomer, but she brags
that no woman can learn her to cook
like her MOTHER She can make ten
kinds of candy, four kinds of cake and
six kinds of things with whipped
cream. But she doesn't know boiled
meat from broiled meat and has never
cooked meal in her life. She doesn't
even know how to boil potatoes with
their Jackets on.
The Harrington girl is snappy lit
tic piece, who knows lot of boy sto-
ries and is all the time making breaks
and laughing at them. She looks at
the ground when she walks and minces
along as though she was too nice for
this world. She is always grunttng on
wash day and her poor mother hasn't
had new dress since 1883, though Myr-
tie is dressed to kill.
John Slowly is railroad man. He
has been married three years. He
turns his money over to his Wife every
goods and ready-made food at six gro
Gerry stores. Their grocery bill is over
$50 a month and John can't see where
1T goes. He should look in the Stop
bucket. Half the food she. cooks is
spoiled and none of II is ever made
over.
The girls say that there isn't single
button on Earle Rizer's dress, except
the forty-two buttons up the back Of
her shirt waist. They call her the hu-
man pincushion.
That is the kind Of girls who avoid
the cooking school. They are not home
makers and Emporia boys who are
looking for honest girls who will help
to make living should pass them up.
They also fiirt with travelling men and
young fellows claim that you can love
'em all the second night you call. These
are harsh words, but the cause is
great one and the Gazette believes that
the ends justify the means. II girls
can't go to cooking school they can
at least show respect for it by stopping
their gadding for a few days.
