KIT CARSON.
Feat of Which the Hardy Frontiers,

''H'' fea wv ethSSObSSkiOfs
One of the most noted of the hardy
western frontiersmen was Kit Carson
to whom, with Daniel Boone, belongs
the credit of having always dealt fair.
ly 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,
The Old Santa Fe Trail" relates an
amusing incident of the gallant pio-
neer.
My own conception of Kit Carson
as a 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 a river dry and
picked the carcass of a whole buffalo
clean as easily as a lady does the wing
of quail. Years after, when l made
the acquaintance of the foremost from
tiersman, | found him a delicate, reti-
cent, understood, wiry man, the very
opposite type of what my childish
brain had created.

how all this had been effected by Kit

MOLINE

Teaching Greek Class.-Under the
tutorship of Mrs Nellie Benell Robb,
IL Greeks are being taught English at
the Washington school. They are seq
regated in separate room, but, as
soon as Mrs. Robb has instilled a work
ing knowledge of the language in them.
they will be distributed among the
regular classes according to their sew
eral abilities.
Band May Come Here.-Moline is a
bidder for the appearance of the Royal
Kronoberg Regimental band of Sweden
during its tour of America. Special
permission has just been granted by
King Gustav of Sweden to the band to
visit the United States the coming
summer. The visit will constitute the
first ever granted to men of the rcEu-
lar army of Sweden to cross the At
lantic. DR.. Victor Nilsson, editor and
publisher of Musiktidningen, a Swed
ish musical review published in Min
neapolis, first started the idea of hav
ing band from the Swedish army
visit America and aid the various
Swedish-American charitable organiza-
lions. Through influential friends in
Sweden the proposition was brought
to King Gustavs notice. The king
took an active interest in the PROPOSE
ton, with the result that the band was
given orders to proceed to America.

meager but Detective Stanley was de-
