TELLS WAY INDIANS PANT.
Apache Relates Legend Which Ac-
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 were big and strong. a
chief of the red men who lived in
these mountains went out to get a
deer. for his people were hungry.
AFTER walking all day he saw a
deer and shot at IL, 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
ed after the man. who ran for his life
He was almost exhausted and.
when he felt his strength giving way.
he fell to the ground. calling on the
big bear. who. you know. is the grand
father of men. to 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
lad sprinklcd his blood over the man.
Now. 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 man. 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 face and
never washed it at all. but left 1t until
it peeled off.
Where the claws of the lion
scraped 1t on there were marks that
turned brown in the sun, and where
the blood stayed on 1t was lighter.
Now all men paint their faces that
way with blood and scrape 1t OF in
streaks when they hunt or go to war"

HER MONEY ALWAYS NEW.
German Woman Used Hot Iron With
Good Effect.


One of the tellers of a prominent
savings bank was discussing some
peculiarities of his business. I'VE
get money over the counter in every
imaginable condition." he remarked.
Most of the time notes are handed
TO us in a dirty. crumpled state that
makes difficult handling. but there is
one deposition who always brings bills
In an immaculate condition. This is
an old German woman. The bank
notes she hands in are as crisp as II
they had just left the treasury. 1t
used to puzzle me to account for the
crispness of the old notes she brought
along-notes that by appearance had
been In use long enough to make
them as limp as rags. So one day |
remarked about 1t. and found. to my
surprise. that the old lady carefully
ironed all her bank notes. She ex-
planned that she liked to have new
money. and pressing with a hot iron
made all the old bills like new. l
thought her fad somewhat foolish at
first, but later 1t occurred to me
that 1t would be good thing II people
everywhere ironed their bank notes.
1t would kill any germs. "-Philadal

ARSENIC TO POISON TREES.
Simple Matter to Get Rid Of unwel-
come Foliage.

A gardener discovered the fact re-
Gently that trees are often sent to an
untimely death by poison. usually ar
senic. The. reason for this does not
appear until one hears the mans ex-
PLANTATION. Suppose a man has rented
house which has too much shade.
the law will not allow him to have
one or more of the trees cut down
without the consent or the owner. AS
It often happens that tenants and
landlords hold different views on the
subject of shade the trees remain as
bone of contention. 1t is then that
the gardener is called to administer
dose of poison. for when tree is
dead the tenant may have 1t removed.
Five cents worth Of arsenic is suf-
ncient to kill large tree. A hole is
made in the trunk, the arsenic drop
ped in. and nature does the rest. 1t
never fails.

Anecdote Of wellington.

A little over ninety two years ago
the guns at Salamanca in Spain were
roaring. not to be stilled until the road
was clear for Wellington to march to
Madrid. The iron duke" was very
busy completing arrangements for the
impending battle and had not thought
about breakfast. His dutiful staff had
denied themselves in order to keep
him company. At last they got some.
thing spread on the ground behind a
farmyard wall. Wellington rode in
and they tucked the leg of chicken
into one of his fists and chunk OF
bread into another. He munched as
he sat in the saddle. Suddenly he set
spurs to his horse, called on them TO
follow. threw his leg of chicken over
his shoulder and galloped as II for
dear life. He had sighted the French
at gap in the hills.

A wonderful freak of nature is an
oak tree in the far West. which has
grown up from a sapling into a wide
spreading. handsome tree. through a
rock of flint stone, splitting the mas
sive rock by the tremendous pressure
o. its vigorous growth. No one living
knows how long nature has been as
sisting this oak in its work of stone
crushing. The oldest people in the
neighborhood recall the tree in their
childhood. and experts in forestry say
that II must be fully 200 years old.

The policemen in Hayti are paid by
results. They get capitation fees for
all the arrests they make. AS they
come from the worst class of the pop

It follows that man is very liable
to be arrested in Hayti unless he is
willing to ply the policeman more
than the caiptation fee. As this fee is
only 10 cents, the price of freedom is
