According TO the article entitled

Gently appeared in the Fort Glib

other occasions-that old town or
| it's immediate vicinity, has, 10 the
past, been the home of. or tempo

Fort Gibson really is place OF
much interest and Of many his

statements made relative to the
mighty men who, in the vanished
past, are said to have resided
there. II carefully investigated, are
found to be sadly lacking in facts.
Henry NJ. Stanley, the explorer
OF the Dark Continent, il is said

the inference is that it twas in the

"Thc BROOK Farm Experiment."
Half Il century ago there gathered on
little farm not far from New Haven,
Conn, the most remarkable coterie of
men and women who have ever been
associated in any community in mod
ern times. George Ripley. the most
famous Unitarian minister of New
England at thai period, was the found
er of the community. The practical
realization of the Pythagorian philoso-
ply was the central idea of the Brook
Farm experiment. Among the 40 mem
bcrS of the community, most of whom
afterward became eminent in various
professions and callings. were Emer-
son. the philosopher; Bronson Alcott,
the tranSccndcntalist; Thorcau, the in
tcrprctcr of nature; Margaret Fuller,
the educational reformer; Charles
Dana, the founder of the New York
Sun, and Hawthorne. one of the great
est literary lights of the century. The
Brook Farm experiment failed for lack
of financial management, but the
ideals survived.
The Wonderful Discovery of Sile-

A little less than 100 years ago
fourtecn-yearold peasant by, who was
barely able to read and had not been
taught to write, while engaged in cut
ting wood on Il mountain near his
home, observed wounded deer bath
ing its injured leg in one of the numer-
Gus springs which abound in that par
ticrlar region. Day after day the deer
came and bathcd the damaged parts
until entirely healed of its injury.
preSsnitz soon after suffered a severe
accident from which the physicians
who were consulted declared he could
not recover. He tried the decr's rem
edy. applying water by means of wet
cloths placed over the injured parts,
and in Il few weeks was quite restored
to health. He induced others to try his
remedy and invented many different
