RAILROADS AND REPEAL or LAND LAWS.

Those interests which for their own reasons are opposed to the repeal of the land laws under which the gov ernment is annually disposing of about 25,OOO,O0O acres of it's land in the west are endeavoring to distract attention from the real issue by kind- ling popular prejudice against the railroads, which it is set forth are be- hind this repeal movement in order that their own lands may become more valuable. But this sort of an argu- ment no longer appeals to thinking men, who now realize that the real prosperity of any railroad system de- pends upon the settlement of it's terri tory. Those transcontinental rail- roads which still own lands, and the acreage is comparatively insignifi- cant along side of the public domain through which they run. are much more anxious to see farmers settling in great numbers along their lines,

Apache Heiates Legend Which 40
counts for His Peoples Custom.
Once an old Apache Indian, when
asked the question why his people
painted their faces, told this little le-
gend:
Long ago, when men were weak
and animals we're big and strong. a
chief OF the red men who lived In
these mountains went out to get q
ieer. for his people we're hungry.
After walking all day he saw q
aeer and shot at II, but the arrow
was turned aside and wounded a
mountain lion. which was also after
The deer. When the lion felt the sting
Of the arrow he jumped up and bound
cd after the man. who ran for his life.
He was almost exhausted and.
when no felt his strength giving way,
he fell to the ground. calling on the
big bear. who, you know. is the granSh
father OF men, 20 save him.
The big bear heard the call and
saw that to save the man he had to
act quickly. so he scratched his foot
and sprinkled his blood over the man.
Nov. you must know that no ami
NAL will eat OF the bear or taste OF
his blood. So when the lion reached
the man he smelled the blood and
turned away. but as he did so his foot
scraped the face OF the ian. leaving
the marks Of his claws on the blood
smeared face.
when the man found that he was
uninjured he was so thankful that he
left the blood dry on his race and
never washed It at all. but left II until
II peeled of.
where the claws OF the lion
scraped II of there we're marks that
turned brown in the sun. and where
the blood stayed on II was lighter.
Now all men paint their faces that
way with blood and scrape II OF In
