FARMING IN ARIZONA
How the Moki Tribe Raise Crops of Corn

Spurned by the First Settlers
How the Grain is Ground
and Cooked.

In his original state the North American
Indian was generally more OF a farmer
than most people are willing to believe.
Long before the whites came to this con-
tinent he was, in many localities, reaping
tolerably good crops. In the eastern por-
lions of the continent they were usually
planted and tended by the women, the men
occupying themselves at hunting or fight
ing. THU the RELOCATION Of the farming to
the women was merely a division OF labor
made necessary by the condition OF tribal
society In certain regions at that period.
Their only grain was what has since been
called Indian corn, not because 1t was de-
rived from India, as its name indicates, but
because 1t was discovered In the possession
OF the aborigines here, who, In their turn
through the mistake Of the first Spaniards,
had been erroneouslv termed Indians. The
proper name for this corn is maize, OF
course. Just where 1t originated cannot
now be positively determined, but 1t is sup
posed to have been found on the table
land OF Mexico and to have spread from
there over the entire western hemisphere.
However that may be. the red folk had
| long been supplied with It when first en-
/ countered by the whites, and were some
times able to furnish It for subsistence t.
the starving settlers. The methods OF eul'
tivation employed were simple. but the!

for the payment to Miss Goodrich of $3.50
each year as long as she lives. and is the

1t Is doubtless equally refreshing in COM

writer cannot speak Of these combinations
from actual test, however, for the reason
that he developed an unreasonable squeam-

stew.

Romans do" and the same idea might with
equal philosophy be applied to the Mokti
country, but the writer was not equal TO it's
application and the delights of mutton stew !

Perhaps this absurd prejudice against .
delectable dish was intensified by the dis
covery that the Moki is not at all p~articu-

The question has been raised wheth-
er, If it should be practicable to attain
to speed of 100 miles or more an hour
by rail, the engineer could stand the
strain, says the Philadelphia Record.
1t has been affirmed by physician
that such fearful going would wear out
his nerves in little while. The ques-
tion has been answered already by one
experienced engineer before meeting
of scientists. Asked as to the probable
effects in case of common accident
of speed of more than sixty miles an
hour, he said: "a smashup at sixty
miles an hour would make splinters of
everything. At 100 miles the splinters
might be finer, but the destruction
could not be more complete"-that is
to say, when an engineer runs his
engine at sixty miles he Is under as
severe a strain as he would be at any
other speed.

puny infants who sleep much become

ing tossed in the air, danced on the
knee, having rattle shaken in its ear
or surrounded constantly with all sorts
of playthings-lives in state of un-
healthy excitement. 1t grows bored. 1t
wants something new all the time and
frets and cries il it doesn't get it. The
average healthy baby can find its own
amusements. 1t plays with its toes.
stretches its legs, bites its fists expert
mentally, watches its mother as she
walks around the room, and all this is
fun, besides being just what baby
needs.

Several hours before the recent earth
quake took place in Guatemala Il
French traveller was taking breakfast
at the house Of a merchant in Quezal-
tenango when suddenly curious thing
happened.
The fountain In the courtyard ceased
to flow, and from its two oritices came
sharp, intermittent sounds. The birds
in the aviary, which had been singing
merrily, became silent, and two dogs
and cat which were in the room be-
trayed unmistakable signs of terror.
Hastily rising from the table, the
merchant said, 1--WE must hurry away
from here for the animals plainly
warn us that some terrible disaster
most probably an earthquake, is at
hand"
That very night the city was shaken
by an earthquake, and of the mer-
chants house only the ruins remained.

AARON BURR'S DAUGHTER.
A Plausible Story of the Fate of the
Beautiful TheOdOsia.


Beautiful TheOdOsia.
An old resident of Washington said
in n recent conversation: ''The fate Of
Theodosia, the beautiful daughter of
Aaron Burr, has been one of the ap-
palling mysteries of sudden disappear
anceS at sea.
"She was married to Governor ALL
ston of South Carolina, name distin-
guished in the annals of that state.
She sailed from Charleston for New
York in the ship Patriot on Dec. 20,
1912, on visit to her father. The YES
sci was supposed to have been either
ingulfed or captured by pirates, for it
was thought that no soul had survived
to determine the awful doubt as to its
fate or that of its passengers. One ac-
count particularly arrested public at
tention, and that was the purported
confession of a pirate, Domnick You,
which Charles Gayarre incorporated
into his brilliant romantic, philosophic
Ferdinand de Lemos.' 1t Is so graph
ically drawn that many persons
thought at last the fate of Aaron
Burr's only daughter was known.
"An old sailor named Benjamin f.
Burdic1 died recently a pauper in a
Michigan poorhouse. On his deathbed
he made the startling confession that
he was one of the piratical crew that
captured a vessel named the Patriot
and participated in the murder of The
odOsia Allston at sea. Indeed, he de-
clared that it fell to his lot to pull the
plank from under her. She came forth
arrayed in white, holding Bible in
one hand and with heroic mien took
her place on the slender instrument of
death and without u shudder or quiver
of muscle was preciptated into the
waves. The noble, unblanched face,
erect and airy form, he said, had haunt
ed him all his subsequent life. The
date of the vessels loss, January, 1913,
was correctly given by Burdick, and
the name odessa Burr Allston was
his only error, and yet this was not an
error, for the name of both father and
husband are sufficient Identification.
The corruption of Theodosia into 'Odes-
sa' would be natural to an ignorant
sailor and, if anything, tend to prove
that he had not been reading up to
make himself a sort of deathbed hero.
'At any rate, the confession is plau-
sible for the reason named"
