KIT CARSON.
Feat Of Which the Hardy Frontiers
man Had No Recollection.


One of the most noted of the hardy
western frontiersmen was Kit Carson,
to whom, with Daniel Boone, belongs
the credit of having alwayA dealt fair
~ with the various Indian tribes, as
they themselves acknowledged The
withdrawal of Carson by the govern
ment was the cause of a great war.
Captain Henry Inman in his book,
1.-The Old Santa Fe Trail" relates an
amusing incident of the gallant pio-
neer.
My own conception of Kit Carson
as child was that he was ten feet
high, that 1t would have required the
strength of two men to lift his rife,
that he usually drank river dry and
picked the carcass of a whole buffalo
clean as easily as a lady does the wing
of q quail. Years after, when | made
the acquaintance of the foremost from
tiersman, found him a delicate, reti-
cent, understood, why man. the very
opposite type of what my childish
brain had created.
One day while Kit was at the fort
came across a periodical that had a
full page illustration of a scene in a
forest. In the foreground stood a gi-
gantic figure dressed in the traditional
buckskin.
On one arm rested an immense rife.
His other arm was around the waist
of the conventional female of such
sensational journals, while in front
half a dozen Indians lay prone. evi-
IDENTITY slain by the hero in the i'm
possible attire in defense of the pre-
posterous female. The legend stated
how all this had been effected by Kit
Carson.
/ handed it to Kit. He wiped his
spectacles. studied the picture intently
for q few seconds and then said:
Gentlemen. that thar may be true
but haiI't got no recollection of It."

1.-THE Land of Dollars"

George AIDE has written so many
successes that his name as the author
of a play is all that any going
populace needs, to know they would
make no mistake in buying tickets for
his play. In Indiana he is regarded
as a prophet, and while it is a saying
that prophets are without honor in
their own country, Mr.. AIDE is the eX-
ception that proves the rule. When
to his popularity is added that OF Ezra
Kendall, who is likewise a son of In
diana. the demand for seats has prov
EN- great wherever Mr.. Kendall has
appeared in The Land of Dollars. -
In this play Mr.. AIDE has created two
or three types as unique and laugh
able as Jim Hacker in The County
Chairman" Flora Virgins in The
College Widow" and the Sultan in
The Sultan of Sulu."

The Passion Which William e.
lis Corey First Displayed for
MabeIIe Gilman Has Grown
Cold, 1t Is Said.
HIS WIFE TOO is NOT
ADVERSE TO DIVORCE.
For a Liberal Settlement She
Would Readily Sign the Pa
pers, as Marriage Has Not
Been Successful, She Says.

Pittsburg, Pa. Dec. 27.-Is William
Ellis Corey tired of his new wife, Ma
belle Gilman: Has the president OF
the steel corporation grown weary OF
the song-bird he welded and placed IN
gildcd cage? Does he desire to re-
turn to-the companionship of his first
wife and their 2O-years-old son Allan:
Members of Pittsburg's clubs and
business associates Of Corey intimate
that the answer to all these questions
is yes"
Corey got a divorce from his first
wife because she had no desire to shine
in society. With his money and a
younger and more beautiful wife he
thought he could break into New
York's charmed circles. So did Ma
belle Gilman. They have both dis
covered their mistake.
While Pittsburg clubmen do not in
innate there is any trouble between
Mr.. and Mrs. Corey, they say both are
deeply disappointed--so much so that
Mrs. Corey, in view of liberal settle
ment would place no obstacles in the
way of Corey's legal remarriage to his
first wife.
1t is reported here that Corey will go
today to the farm in Lancaster county
which he anted to his parents. 1t
is said his former wife and their son
will be there. 1t is hoped by the
Corey family that the steel corporation
presidenS will make overtures to his
former Wife for his return after the
legal Obstacles have been removed
Corey's heart is longing for his wife
and boy, friends say, though he is too
proud to admit it openly. 1t is pre-
dicted it will not be long before it has
burned through his naughty pride
and brought him to their feet, humbly
begging forgiveness. Those who
know the first Mrs. Corey predict that.
when the time comes, she will pardon
him and take him back.

Odd Notions That Are Aired In Last

$500 per annum for the redemption of
poor English Christian slaves from the
hands Of 1.-The barbarous Turk" and in
the year 1925 Thomas Bolton Of HOx-
ton proved his enmity toward his own
kith and kin by cutting off his three
sons and his brother Timothy with a
shilling apiece, while he showed his
sympathy for his distressed country
men by leaving the bulk of his prop
erty about SIPS, 900, in trust to the
Ironmongers' company. One-half Of
the interest of this large amount he di
rected should be expended in ransom
ing British subjects from slavery in
Turkey or Barbary.
An old lady OF Barton, Lincolnshire,
being once benighted on the Lincoln
shire wolds, was able to direct her
steps by the sound of the curfew bell
from st. Peters church. In grateful
remembrance she conveyed a piece Of
land of thirteen acres to the parish
clerk and his successors on condition
that they and he ring the bell from Z

OBSERVANCE OF EASTER.
Discrepancy In Computing the Date
Not Corrected Until 1852.

K.
The observance of Easter dates back
to about the year IS. at which time
there was much contention among the
eastern and western churches as to
what day the festival should be OBJ
served. 1t was finally ordained at the
council of Nice in the year 80 that it
must be observed throughout the Chris
tian world on the same day This de-
cision settled that Easter should be
kept upon the Sunday first after the
fourteenth day OF the first Jewish
month, but no general conclusion was
arrived at as to the cycle by which
the festival was TO be regulated, and
some churches adopted one rule and
some another. This diversity of usage
was put an end to, and the Roman
rule making Easter the first Sunday
after the fourteenth day of the calen-
dar moon was established in England
In 669. After nine centuries a dis
crepancy in the keeping of Easter was
caused by the authorities of the Eng
lish church declining to adopt the ref
ormation of the Gregorian calendar in
1882 The difference was settled in
1852 by the adoption of the rule which
makes Easter day always the first
Sunday after the full moon which ap-
pears on or next after the twenty-first
day Of March. Ii the full moon hap
pens upon Sunday, Easter is the
Sunday after.
