PAINTING THE WORLD.

Indian Legend OF the Way Spring
Came Into Existence.
Once, long before there were men in
the world, all the earth was covered
with snow and ice.
White and frozen lay the rivers and
the seas; white and frozen lay the
plains. The mountains stood tall and
dead, like ghosts in white gowns.
There was no color except white in all
the world except in the sky, and it was
almost black. At night the stars look
ed through it like angry eyes.
Then God sent the spring down into
the world-the spring with red lips and
curling yellow hair.
In his arms he bore sprays of apple
blossoms and the first flowers-crocus,
anemones and violets, red, pink, blue
purple, violet and yellow.
The first animal to greet the spring
was the white rabbit. The spring
dropped red crocus on his head, and
ever since then all white rabbits have
red eyes.
Then the spring dropped a blue vio-
greet the spring, and that is the way
the bluebird was made. Ever since
then it is the first bird to arrive when
the spring comes down from heaven.
So the spring went through the world
Wherever he tossed the leaves from
his fragrant burden the earth became
green. He tossed the blossoms on the
frozen seas, and the ice melted, and the
fish became painted with all the tint
Of his flowers. That is the way the
trout and the minnows and the salmon
became gaudy.
Only the high mountains would not
bow TO the spring. So their SUBMITS
remain white and dead, for they would
let the spring paint only the sides.
The snow owls and the white geese
and the polar bears fed from the
spring, so they, too. remain white TO
this day.

Slowly. but surely, the reputation OF
the Kansas City platform goes on. II

beyond the Mississippi the magic OF

The Democrats OF Iowa have just

candidate for governor is a Bryan man,
but that is not significant since there
are hosts OF Bryan men who are ready

sHAMRoCKs NOVEL MAST

Made of Hollow Steel and OF Ex-

The hollow steel mast which has
been made for Shamrock Ill. the cup
challenger, is declared to be the most
remarkable achievement IN yacht con-
structiOn IN the United Kingdom. says
Il London dispatch. The workmen who
built the spars for all three challengers
say that the mast for the new boat Is
fifteen hundredweight lighter than
that of Shamrock H.. while the whole
spar is eighteen hundredweight lighter
than the lower mast Of Shamrock l.
The workmen declare that they do
not sec how the steel shell is to with
stand the enormous strain of high
wind, but they admit that the designer
is apparently satisfied with the result,
since there is no talk of building an
extra spar for an emergency. The gafi

THERE is NOTHING MORE TO SAY

We have said all on the recent trou-
bles that we have thought should be
said. Prior to Monday night we urged
our people to be calm and to allow the
law to take It's course
Since the revolving spectacle occur
red, we have known Of no course foi
our people but the immediate re-estab-
lishment of order. We have criticised
the officers OF the law, believing that
it would cause them to realize their re-
sponsibllty.
Rut rioting and disorder go on;
anarchy stalks the streets. and there are
signs that certain of the papers which
have stood so resolutely for order are
catering to popularity among the law
less. The Morning News tells us OF
several street brawls' and "a quiet
morning" and describes the rather
harmless diversions OF the crowd in
which one man was unfortunately fa-
tally wounded, and three others shot.
All of TIE powers charged with the
enforcement Of the law met in consulta-
ton yesterday, and we take it decided
on some course to pursue. But as they
had no word for the press or for the
public; we are ignorant Of their plans.
There appears to be no policy to sup
port. no public sentiment to appeal to,
and until there is some good to accom-
plish we shall discuss other matters.
But We advise the women and chill
dren to avoid the downtown districts
at night, and all parents should keep
their boys at home in the evening. No
further disorder may occur but our
people have no assurance. II anybody
gets injured. by all means let it be some
law-brealxer who deserves it.

Dear Aunt Jennie After a long
time I again venture to ask for adj
mittance to tt Chat. I was SO sorry
last week to find no letters for our
column that I decided to take the
Editors advice and write, without
further procrastination. I do enjoy
the Chat so much, but circumstances
have prevented me from writing in
several months. I have decided I will
tell you all of a well in this COM
munity that boils, and is a great
curiosity to all strangers who have
seen it. The water is perfectly clear
and cold, yet it boils o like a ket-
tie of boiling lard CT water. There
are large rocks a few feet from the
bottom of the we'll, and when the wa
ter falls below them it ceases to boil,
and when it rises up to them or above
them it boils continuously and at
times so loudly as to be heard quite
a distance. No one can account for
it's boiling.

nothing of the shagbark about Ran
som; he was essentially the showcase
Senator, was dressed as accurately
as an artist might paint a picture,
and wore little, glossy, glove-tight
boots, the mere looks whereof would
pinch ones feet. Although the Brum-
mel Of the Senate, Ransom was not
a publicist of weight or profundity,
and Vance did the work for their
State, while Ransom cleaned and
glistened.

Vance, when the two, with others,
