ssars the 1,Iha Kind You Have Always Bougt
's; 8 &zh1z1zzz;:S@

When John Dalton, of the
Manson Democrat, got home
from the State Convention he
grabbed his faithful pencil and
dashed off the following:
What are you kicking about
that boy having the bighead
for? You had the bighead fully
as bad as he has or even worse,
at one time, didn't you? Every
boy is afflicted with the bighead
to a certain extent and the only
time it is inexcusable is when
the boy fails to get over it and
goes forging on into mans es-
tate Handicapped with such a
terrible affliction. A boy with
the bighead is tiresome enough,
but a man with the bighead is
intolerable. Worse still is a girl
or a woman with the same afflic-
ton. But the average boy is ex-
pected to have at least a touch
of the disease, hence he ought
not be severely censured for it,
especially when his censors used
to have it worse than the boy
ever thought Of having it. Give
the boy chance to grow out of
it and don't give him the worst
of it all the time, just because
he has something that you once
had and had a fearful time get
ting rid of. Look yourself over
carefully and see if there is not
a touch of the old boyhood big
head left in your makeup yet.
When you get an idea that your
money makes you the equal of
men with real brains, that's the
bighead. When you imagine
your wife can trot in the best
society and be really respected,
when, in fact, she is sneered at
whenever her back is turned,)
just because you have the price
and she has the clothes, that's
the bighead. When you get an
itching for office and imagine
your friends are all falling over
each other to hand you over
something juicy, just because
you have voted the same ticket
year after year and did not have
brains enough to know why you
did so, that's the bighead. When
you imagine that heavens gate
is fairly yawning for you, mere
ly because you yell "amen" the
loudest and pay the highest pew
rent, that's the bighead. When
you get the idea into that fun
ny head of yours that you can
do business without advertising,
just because you've been in
town so long that everybody
knows you and won't go any
where else to trade, that's the
bighead. When you fondly cher
ish the belief that you can beat
a slot machine, a poker game,
the races or any game Of chance
played by the 1'other fellow"
that's the bighead. When you
think you can fight booze all
your life without getting a
black eye now and then and
eventually landing in the pos
|ition of the under Cog, that's
the bighead. When you get the
idea that everybody is letting
| you in on the ground floor and
not telling their secrets to
everybody else, that's the big
head. But why go on? There
are innumerable symptoms of
the bighead and you haven't
got all Of them. Give the boy a
chance and don't condemn him
to eternal failute just because
he has the bighead. Manson
Democrat.

Twelve kentuckians Corning to
St. Louis BY a New Route.
st. Louis, May Is, 1904. "A
Louisville real estate man
named Best has invented a new
kind of airship in which he
proposes taking eleven friends
with him on a visit to the
Worlds Fair. 1t is claimed
that sixty miles an hour can be
made in this ship, which is to
participate in the 100000
Worlds Fair airship prize con-
tests.
The inventor of the Kentucky
airship spent thirty seven years
at work on his plans, and he
thinks he has finally perfected
them. His ship contains two
gas chambers, thirty feet in
length and six feet in diameter
in the center, tapering toward
the end. The twelve wings
and the planes are made of al
minimum. The machine is to
be propelled by a four-horse
power gasoline motor and will
have two screw-propellers, one
in front and one in the rear.
The ship will consume about
five gallons Of gasoline from
Louisville to st. Louis, Mr..
Best says.

strange gods in a strange coun-

Opportunity Is Make Striking
Comparison Of Past and
Present Highway.

Comparison OF Past and
Present Highway.
travellers Passing Hs!e-ia the
Wall Dropped a Stone and
Monuments Grew.
When the Belgo-American
Drilling trusts new railroad is
built from Grin junction to
Lander, a few miles west of
Casper, Wyo., there will be af-
forded opportunity to make a
striking comparison of the
highways of the present and of
the past. The railroad grade
will cross what is known as the
Sioux trail, a sharply defined
pathway at that point, but
north and south traceable only
by widely separated monu-
ments. This trail extends from
Central America to British Col
umbia and its origin has never
been determined, the name,
Sioux trail" being derived
from the fact that it was ex-
tensively used by the Indians
| of this region in the early days,
says the Rocky Mountain News.
At the point where the rail
road will cross this ancient
highway, and for many miles
ON either side, the trail is
marked by great monuments of
loose stones piled at intervals
of a few feet. AS progress is
made either to the north or to
the south these monuments be-
come more isolated and finally
occur only at long and uncer.
tain distances.
The greatest number of them
loccur in the pass leading down
to the Hole-in-the- Wall, seven
ty miles north of Casper. There
lthey form a solid wall for a
distance of several miles, there
being but slight intentions in
the barrier to distinguish one
monument from another. Par
allel to this wall runs the trail,
which, where the ground is
Soft has been worn to a depth
of more than a foot. 1t is just
wide enough for ponies to
+ travel over it in single file.
1t is said that the stone mon
uments are so numerous near
the Hole-in-the-W Wall for the
reason that this is a sacred To-
cality and each traveller pass
ing that way carried a stone,
which he added to the monu-
ments. That this was done is
we'll known, as the custom was
adhered to by the Indians to a
comparatively recent date. If
the number of stones in the
monuments represents the num-
Der of Indians and earlier in
habitants that passed over the
trail, then it's travel has exceed
ed that of all of the transconti-
mental railroads combined.
4 Archaeologists who have ex-
amined the monuments are of
the opinion that they were
formed from purely religious
motives, as they are too numer-
Gus to have been intended for
guide stones, and frequently in
sections where there is but one
trail and guide stones would
have been superhuous.
They account for the great
number of them in Wyoming
and the scattered few in Cen
trail America, Mexico and the
souther states through which
the trail passes, by the theory
that the trail was originated and
used by the people of the far
south who utilized it in travel
from their domain to the splen-
did hunting grounds in British
