INDIAN STORY or GENESIS.
Why the White Man Is Superior to
the Red and Black.

Muskogee, ]. r., Aug. 25.-Among
the Indians there is an interestlnS 4
legend about the origin of the races.
Acco. ding 10 the old. old story as II
is told around the camp fires OF the
Indians, the Creator made three men,
all of fair skin. He took them to a
lake and told them to Jump In. The
first Ilunged in and came out white.
The second creature hesitated and
came out red. The third was reluc-
tant to enter the water which be.
came muddy and when he came out
he was black.
Then the Great Spirit led them
to- three bundles and told them TO
choose. The dark man picked up the
heaviest bundle, and II contained
spades, shovels and other instruments
of manual labor; the second found in
his bag fishing rod gun and war,
like weapons, and tine white man
chose the bag which contained pa
per and ink, and this, so the legend
goes, laid the foundation for his su
periority OF the other two races
which he has continued to exercise
ever since.

SOUTHERN CYPRESS KNEES.
How They Are Formed-Trees' Curl.

The cypress knee is a familiar oh

Southern people, too. who have not

Gus as to what part the knees played
in the life of the cypress tree, writes
correspondent of Forest and
Stream, for they are part of it's sys-
tenn and do not grow Independently
They we're not sprouts, trying to
grow into trees. for they never de-
veloped branches: and the final con-
clusion was that their only use was
for people to stumble over. How
and why such useless appendages to
the tree were formed was a mystery
until one day, when drifting down
deep channel which had been washed
through a cypress swamp. the secret
was exposed.
The earth had been washed away
from the roots of some of the trees.
and roots in all stages of growth
were in sight. None of these roots
was less than 2z inches thick and
of uniform size clear to their tips,
or rather clear to their blunt ends,
for there was no tip.
Nature intended these roots to
grow in soft mud. and they we're all
right for that purpose. but when
the blunt end Of a root encountered
something too hard to push through
least resistance. and this was ge1er-
ALL toward the top of the ground,
It bent or buckled in the line of

root pushing the bend further up

finally the two arms of the bend

INVEST IN BARBER SHOPS.


Two Brothers Not BARRIERS.
Two brothers. manufacturers by
trade and utterly unacquainted with
the barbering business. have chosen
barber shops as an investment for
their surplus capital. They might
have put more money into their reg
ular business or invested in stocks,
mines or what not, but looking over
the business field in New York they
decided that they could not do better
than go into barbering.
The brothers now own nearly a
dozen shops and employ about sixty
BARRIERS. Their business at first lay
In the downtown business district
only, but not long ago they BOUGHT
the good will of a shop pretty we'll
uptown. One of the BARRIERS en-
ployed In the shop would have been
glad to buy 1t. but the brothers out
bid him.
Each shop owned by these nom
professional, BARRIERS has a manager,
himself practical barber, who keeps
an eye on the business. and when the
place is crowded Yields razor or
scissors himself. There Is d general
manager who visits all the shops
from time to time and keeps an eye
upon accounts and receipts.
Once a week the receipts and
checks from all the shops are taken
to the head shop downtown. and
there the whole weeks business Ia
put through clearing house pro
cess On Saturday everybody is paid
on In each shop, and If the receipts
IN hand at any shop are not enough
Tor the purpose the deficit is made up
from the head shop. Two DAYS re-
'eipts are left in each shop for the
payment OF weekly wages, and this
8 usually enough for the purpose.
Wholesale barbering pays pretty
we'll because the owner of a dozen
hops can buy supplies at the lowest
prices, and having plenty Of capital
able to get favorable rates in build
ngs where the shops are situated.
me dozen shop concern has also
mother advantage over the self-em.
'loying barber with a single shop.
ne success of the business as a
Fhole Is not dependent upon local !
In any one part of the
ity.
All sorts of things happen to boost
! depress trade in an individual |
hop, but the whole dozen do not
aner at once. 1t is easy also when
usiness slackens In one shop TO
ransfer at least one barber from it
another. where the men are rather
DO busy.
II SHOPS are near together 1t Ia
ossible at a specially busy hour to
Ill barber from a neighborinp
,op. Profits are not great In any
ne shop, for rents are high and
lie BARRIERS are Well paid. The shop
Ianager gets better wages than the
arbers. The business grows in a
atural and healthy fashion. When
opportunity occurs to buy out a

ave none OF their own they can

itlay of capital and without greatly
creasing the cost of management
