INTERESTING LEGEND
 OF CLIFF JEWELLERS
Capt. John Moss Relates h. tefGSting Story Learned
 From MOqui Indians

Captain John Moss, a La Plata county pioneers relates the following legend of the cliff dwellers, as ob- Jained by him from the head men of the Moqui pueblo, which he visited en route from California.
 The whole of La Plata county, Col orado. just north of San Juan county, New Mexico, as it now stands on the maps. was once a land of paradise, densely populated. It's inhabitants lived in peace and harmony with the world, as known to them. They knew nothing of the arts of war, and their lands produced abundantly They were a happy and prosperous people and lived in the love and fear of their God. But eventually a ter rible trembling of the earth occurred The waters disappeared and great mountains occupied their places, while old mountains crumbled into dust and new water courses ap. peared. The larger part of the peo- pie were destroyed.
 The remainder, however, continued their avocations, made new homes and again began to prosper and mul tiply They discovered a yellow me tallic substance in many of the streams and a bright white metal in the mountains They began to use the metals in barter and trade with one another. According to the Moqui tradition and by their method of computing time. this must have oc cured about 5000 years ago. This condition of affairs prevailed until within thousand years ago, when they were visited by savage strangers whom they treated hospitably. These visits became more frequent and an moving. The troublesome neighbors began to forage upon them, and dev astated their farms.
 So. to save their lives they built houses high up on the cliffs. where they could store food and hide away until the invaders should leave. But one summer the northern nomads came with their families and settled down, laying seize, as it were. Driver from their homes and lands and starving in their little niches in the rocks, they could only steal away al night and wander from place to place across the mesa. At the Cristone, ol
 
 McElmo canyon, they halted for rest and to make preparations for crossing the great lake (now the lower portion of the Montezuma valley and extend ing south and west into the desert lands of Arizona). Here they erected Qualifications and watch towers, and filled the adjoining caves full of rests for the human wrens and sparrows until their boats could be built. When the last of the women and children were embarked and well out to sea, the alarm and signal were given from one of the watch towers that their foes had pursued them and were upon them.
 For long months the northmen fought and were driven back, but came driven back, but as often they came again, with renewed numbers. As length, however, the beseigers were driven away. But the tradition goes on to say, in evidence of the great battle, that the hollows of the rocks

Today G. F. Skirvin, formerly own
ter and publisher of the Creston Adver-
Jlser-Gazette, assumes control of the
keokuk Gate City Mr.. Skirvin has
mad long experience in newspaper
work. He was city editor, then part
owner, then owner and publisher of
the Creston Advertiser. He made
chat paper a republican organ and
changed it from morning to an even
Ing paper. When the time was ripe
he purchased the Creston Gazette and
consolidated the two papers under the
name, Advertiser-Gazette. Success
attended all his efforts and he estab.
.lished the paper on firmer footing
than it ever before enjoyed Some
months ago he, sold it to Paul S.
Junkin, who has continued to conduct
1t successfully since that time.
Mr.. Skirvin has many friends in the
newspaper profession in Iowa and
among them he has the reputation of
one of the most wide awake men in
the state. They will wish him with the
Gate City, success equal to that which
attended him in Creston.

understand how we are going to be of
assistance in the grand and good plan
for bringing John D. Rockefeller,
Henry II. Rogers, ct al, to abject pow
erty.
The fact is that Mr.. Lawson, falling
into line with others who have the
exposure habit" has pointed out the
ills that exist, using language that is
fit to enter into competition with
Cicero's orations against Cataline and
Patrick Henrys plea for liberty, but
as yet he has failed utterly to show a
practicable scheme for curing the
country for these very ills. Exposure
has come to be peculiar art, which,
like some other arts and fads, such as
the search for the north pole, seems
to exist for itself alone There is little
about 1t which is constructive, its
main feature being it's ability to dis
heaten those who hearing it's expo
nents, are moved to reflect upon the
possibility of a cure. The effect it pro-
duces is almost sure to be injurious
rather than hopeful.
A well known writer used to tell a
story of an undertaken who considered
himself the worse man in town, suffer
ing from having been incompletely
converted. The work of grace with him
had gone far enough to convince him
that he was sinner, woefu] sinner,
and had stopped there His awakened
sense of sin prevented his giving up
that kind of an existence and he never
became anything but convict, far
from a convert. Such writer's as Law
son are too likely to produce the same
kind of converts by means of their
Exposures" and their lack of cures. \

BETTING ON THE PONIES.

ION Johnson, mayor of Cleveland,

one pound has done all that Folk has
succeeded IN doing in all the time he

executive is giving his especial atten-
tlon. This is horse racing and betting.
For some reason the two 90 together.
absolutely inseparable if the action of
the managers of the proposed Chenille
track meeting can be taken as an in
dlcation. This track was to have
opened for series of races yesterday.
but Mayor Johnson issued an order
prohibiting betting on the races. The
management Immediately announced
that after this year the track would be
closed and the ground divided into resi-
dence lots and offered for sale. This
didn't bluff Mayor Johnson, so the
racing association decided to close the
present meeting and take the horses
and races to Buffalo. The Chenille
track is in the grand circuit and the
fastest horses in the country have been
racing there for several years. Bets
have been made freely and without DO
lice interference, but now this is to be
stopped. Mayor Johnson has taken for
guide the examples of the Chicago
and Missouri authorities. No Derby
was run this year because the betting
was prohibited. The Delmar track at
st. Louis has been closed because Gov
ernor Folk decreed that the betting
ring must cease operations. Now the
Chenille track will be done away with
the mem bers of the association make
good their threats.
While such actions as that of Mayor
Johnson are discouraging to the sport
of horse racing there is much about
them to commend. Betting on a horse
race is one of the most insecure ven
lures man can undertake. There are
so many chances which may arise at
any time to kill all hopes of winning
even for prime favorite. An unlucky
mls-step, a careless piece Of driving,
the scraping of two wheels, a piece of
paper flying across the track, these
are only a few of the many instances
that can arise at any time to defeat
the best horse that ever entered a
race. 1t is unwise, then, as a general
proposition to bet on a horse race, and
1t is unwise for a city executive to
allow those over whom he has control
to engage in such betting Although
horse racing betting is primarily a rich
mans game the bookmakers play most
strongly for the money of the working
man, the clerk who has but $1OO and
who cannot afford to lose it. These
are the men who make the best game
for the professional bookmaker. 1t is
to protect those who cannot afford to
lose their money that city officials op-
pose betting at race tracks and the
move is a wise one.

THE HABIT oE SAVING

Inc courier has on previous occa.
slons called attention to the desira-
olllty, from the standpoint of every
BOY and young man, of saving money.
Inc surest, safest way to save is by
aeposlt1ng part of each weeks wage
IN a savings bank, letting it draw in
terest and grow by the addition of
that interest and of new deposits. It
is hard for boy who has been used
to nothing of the kind to start a, saw
ings account, but once started. II is
easy to keep it up and to add to the
amount already deposited in the
bank The Labit of saving is one
Whlch everyone should contract and
cultivate. 1t grows on one, when it
has once been started, and it's effects
are good.
An article which appeared recently
in the Gazette of Champaign, I'LL, fur.
nishes splendid example of the
power of this habit of saving, and is
republished here for the benefit of
readers of this paper:
"a few days ago man came into
savings bank in Urbana and deposited
something over 500 in 1-cent pieces,
He explained that for two or three
years he had been in the habit of
taking all the pennies that came to
him in the way of change and drop
ping them into receptacle for safe
keeping and he was surprised to find
that they had amounted to a respecta.
BILE sum of money. There is a whole
sermon in this experience. Whoever
will rigidly save the small bits of
money which are so easily expended
upon trifles-which is next door to
saying expended for nothing will be

which he formerly wasted. So can

fellow has reclaimed himself by start
