ARCHITECTURE.
It's Origin Mas In the Primitive Abosss
~ early Tribes.

The primitive alodes N early
tribes have left their impress upon
the architecture Of more cultured
times, for various features of the
most elaborate building, are pre-
FACED IN the rude,t structures. The

ing roofs. in tent ilies. many storied
masonry. in the elevated chambers
Of cliff jewellers, pillars in natural
rock supports in caves, towers IN
treetop lookouts, spires in tent
poles.
An arbor formed by INTERVENING
the branches Of adjacent trees would
in time be elaborated by the addi-
ton of branChe, severed from other
trees and of stakes to help support
this augmented roof. Thus would
be developed eventually inclosed
huts with roofs of thatch, and these
bv gradual stages would give place
to cabins and framed houses.
Similarly a wigwam develops into
tent. and this by the substitution
of more substantial material be-
comes permanent building.
Cave jewellers naturally enlarge OF
multiply their abodes by eXcayating
chambers in the mountains. This
leads to the use Of piers or pillars a,
need requires to support the roof
and masonry i a logical sequence.

KIT CARSON.
Come Of the Famous Scouts Exploits
as Dispatch Bearer.

There was needed a messenger to
the government at Washington.
Who better could be this than this
iron framed rider, Kit Carson:
He started on Sept. II, 1916, and
had won across the Rocky noun
tainS when he met General Near
ny's column and was ordered to re-
turn to California. In this return
the kcarny column was assaulted by
the California Mexicans, stern fight
ers themselves, who pushed kear-
ny's forces INFO desperate situa-
ton. The beleaguered troops need
ed a messenger out TO San Diego.
Kit Carson and Lieutenant Beale of
the navy undertook the task. The
hardships of the march wrecked the
mind and body of Beale. who was
an invalid for two years thereafter.
1t was nothing to Kit Carson. In
March. 1917, lie was started once
more as dispatch bearer to Wash
ington. This time he met the In
dams on the ella, fought them, got
through, crossed New Mexico, de-
scended the Arkansas river and in
the month of June arrived at Wash
ington after having made 1000
miles in three months time. The
journey requires little more than
three days now, but we do not make
it on horseback.
At Washington as some sort of
reward for his services Carson was
appointed lieutenant of the rifle
corps of the United States army.
His commission, however, was new
er ratified, though this he did not
learn until some months later. He
was sent back to California with dis

A STRANGER IN CAMP.
He Got Some seIated information That
Needed Correction.

1t is best to be sure of the ground
before one goes too far. \ mining
expert tells in the New York Press
something that happened to him
when, in the self confidence of his
youth, he was prospecting near what
is now Leadville. lie had been after
a load of supplies and,rode into
camp alone at noon one day. 1t
was no uncommon thing for Il stran-
ger to come 10 camp and wait for
the owners return, SO the pros
pcctor was not surprised to see a
man sitting at the door of the rough
hut or shelter.
Paving no particular attention to
the guest, | cast the lash rope from
the pack and called him to help re-
move the load. He responded cheer
fully, and that done ! told him to
rustic a little wood and we'd have
dinner. He quickly brought a load

second lot. Then he asked what
further service he could perform.
Wishing to humor his desire for
work. | told him he could till the
camp kettles at the creek. After
this | graciously gave him permits
sion to sit down while got dinner.
Among my various weaknesses at
that time was that of imparting I'M
restricted information to apparently
uninstructed strangers. The habit
came from desire to escape from
the tantalizing distinction of ten
dcrfoot which | then enjoyed.
