SELECTED FOR WORK OF GOD.

LowIy Born Men Used as Instruments
by the Creator.
The Creators methods are often
beyond the pale of understanding by
finite minds. Whenever God has
sought to raise up mankind to a
higher plane of social and political
justice his instrument has been Sc
lected from the ranks of the lowly
born. He was carpenter whom the
Creator chose to give to mankind the
most sublime code of morals the world
has ever known; he was an urchin of
the sea, Corsican boy without past
or caste, whom he put at the head or
the army of France to tear down the
thrones of absolute power which for
twenty centuries had held the people
in their grasp; he was a surveyor of
Virginia who broke asunder the fet-
tiers binding the colonies to the
mother country; he was a rail splitter
who emancipated the serfs; the seem
ingly shiftless son of tanner directed
the weapons of war which saved the
union.-Dubuque Telegraph.

stolen Money a Social Bar.

There are men who love dollars
simply for the sound of their jingle

Suppose, for instance, an internal
explosion twelve miles down in the
earth directly under Mount Vesuvius,
started a violent earthquake wave.
The region Immediately about the
mountain would suffer comparatively
little, but the most serious outbreak
would be just twelve miles away.
OF course the earth wave set in mo
lance and doing a damage proportion
ate to the force of it's origin.
When an earthquake traverses soft
rocks, it's effects are more destructive
than when opposed by hard rocks or
sand. Cracks that open in the sur
face do not close as speedily, the soil
frequently slips, and buildings are
thus overthrown. Fissures are mar
rover in harder rock, and close more
quickly.
The person, then, in dread of earth
quakes, and who wishes to avoid a
personal Introduction to one, should
not take up his residence in the
Seismic belt
1t would not be advisable to settle in
the vicinity of an active or an ex-
tinct Volcano
If his home is by the sea, he should
avoid shores with a high gradient or
deep-water approach, as the waves due
to a shock travel with greater power
and height in deep water.
And it is unwise to dwell where the
surface rocks are soft and loose, while
those beneath are hard and compact.

Columbus for his voyage. 1t is gen.

shows that the jewel story is false

PEOPLE OF THE PLAINS
How the Thirst from the Hear


and on one side was absolutely unprO-
tected. Crazy Wolf knew the location
of the room in which the little ones
gathered daily at their lessons. The
mounted warriors made a neadlong
rush down the valley skirting the
ridge, and as they whirled by the
school they poured voIley after vol
ley into the room where the children
of the friendly Sioux daily were as
sembled
1t was not the fault of Crazy Wolf
that on that day there was not a
slaughter of the innocents. A teacher
had seen the feathered heads show
ing among the willows by White Clay
creek, and taking the alarm, had hur-
ried the children to the cellar.
The raiding band went northward.
There was no cavalary at the post to
take up the pursuit and the fugitives
succeeded in reaching the main body
of Indians, who by this time were
surrounded by the troops of General
Miles and were being gradually forced
into the agency.
Crazy Wolf, when he saw the sur
render of his brethren was coming,
mounted his pony and made for the
Bad Lands. He foresaw the end of
the uprising and the complete subju-
cation of his people, and he laid it
at the doors of the teepees of the
Sioux who had refused to join the
braves on the warpath.
Crazy Wolf made up his mind to
kill Little Scar. He nearly starved
in the Bad Lands and his pony was
dead A week after the surrender he
started for the agency on foot. His
ammunition was gone and he had
nothing but his knife. He ate willow
bark and roots. Hunger took his
bodily strength, but his heart purpose
was unweakened. He wished only
strength enough to thrust his knife
into the heart of Little Scar.
Crazy Wolf, starving, lay on the
bank of the White Clay creek. The
tepee of Little Scar was only 30(
yards away. Crazy Wolf was famishet
but he lay there in the bushes wait
ing for night and vengeance. He
looked down to the waters edge ane
saw a little girl with willow basket
full of food. The little one looked uI
and saw the famished eyes of the war
rior. She smiled at him and held out
her basket. Crazy Wolf knew his
strength was going fast. 1t might not
last him till the hour of revenge. He
ate the Droffered food. The child was
molding clay. Suddenly she turned
and offered Crazy Wolf the model of
a peace pipe. You have eaten" she
said, now smoke"
Crazy Wolfe took the pipe and blew
an imaginary cloud of smoke away
from his lips. The little one smiled at
him again.

Great loss of life accompanied a
quake" in northern India this year;
while another smote Albania.
While earthquakes may be felt in
any part of the world, their most APP
palling effects are nearly always con-
fined to the areas found in the lines
of volcanic activity.
1t is generally known that a shock
in any quarter develops an earth
wave, which spreads in proportion to
the force of the original disturbance
1t is this wave that generally produces
the disaster.
Travelling with greatest velocity
through solid rock, it is estimated to
traverse granite at a speed of 1865
feet second, which is much swifter
than the flight of sound.
Its rate of progress through shat
tered rock is estimated at 1906 feet a
second; through slate, 1 ,089 feet a sec
ond, and through wet sand, S25 feet a
second.
Through water, the force of the

minute.
Scientists state that person direct
ly over the spot where an earthquake
shock originates is much safer than
if he were some distance away. This
is due to the fact that the shock does
not travel directly upward, but reaches
the surface as far distant from the
point Immediately above as the seat
of origin is submerged.

Sioux nation who held to all the saw
age traditions of his race. For years
he refused to receive rations from
the hands of the whites, and this
marked him singular among all the
Sioux His deadly enemy was Little
Scar, who had made lasting peace in
his heart with the whites and who
had yielded little by little to the al
lurements of civilized living
The enmity of Crazy Wolf and Lit
Tie Scar dated from the day of the
great battle with the Pawnees in the
Platte River Valley They were then
young men and were having their
first taste of battle. They had fought
the Pawnees under the eye of their
chief and they earned their warrior
titles on that day.
When the remnant of the stricken
Pawnees had turned to fly Crazy Wolf
and Little Scar quarreled over the
right to take a scalp, and hand-to-
hand combat ensued- The chiefs part
ed them and said that neither must
die, for the nation had need of all
its men. Though the hands of Crazy
Wolf and Little Scar were stayed by
the chieftains, hatred still lived in
1t was ten years after the battle
with the Pawnees and at the Pine
Ridge Agency, where portion of the
Sioux had been gathered, the govern
ment erected a school-house for the
Indian children. Instantly division
occurred between the fathers of the
tribe. One-half of the warriors wished
to send their little ones to the school;
!,
ing of the whites should never have
place in the minds of their children.
The children of Little Scar went to
the school,; the children of Crazy
Wolf were kept in the wigwam
Runners came to Pine Ridge from
Standing Rock and the Rosebud They
told of. the coming of the Messiah:
that the buffalo were returning and
that If the southern Sioux would but
put their ears to the ground they
would hear the thunder of the hoofs
of the oncoming herd.
One-half of the warriors at Pine
Ridge were seized with the Messiah
craze They danced the ghost dance
and put on the ghost shirts The one
half stampeded from the agency and
with it went Crazy Wolf as savage in
heart as he was when he fought the
PawneeS on the frontier of Nebras-
ka. Little Scar stayed at the agency
and his children still went to the
agency school. The hatred between
him and Crazy Wolf had never
passed.
One day after the battle of Wound
ed Knee had been fought, a band of
twenty Sioux braves broke away from
the main body for the sole purpose
of raiding Pine Ridge agency and kill
ing the children who were gathered in
the schoolhouse-the children of their
brothers, who had succumbed to the
white mans ways. In the band was
Crazy Wolf, his heart full of the lust
of killing.
The warriors came within sight of
the scholhouse. 1t stood on a bluff,
