All in TWatn'S Imagination

The days when Sam" Clemens Stuck
type" on the Hannibal Union are re-
called by this anecdote: One morning
Sam" came into the Office very thought
full, hung up his coat and went to the
frame. He worked diligently for several
hours without any copy OH his small
cap case in front of him. He was set
ting up the story of a wonderful find he
and some of his comrades found in Nc
Dougel's cave the Sunday before The
narration was to the effect that crowd
of boys, while exploring the great cave
OH Sunday afternoon ran across q petri-
fed Indian. The citizens were greatly
worked up over the story, and they
hired scientist from Quincy to look the
dead Indian in the face and report. The
man who came to perform this task
wore gray mutton-chop whiskers, a
thoughtful brow, and spectacles. of
course. He was an Unconditional chap.
and he looked learned and the commit
tee was satisfied of his ability. By the
terms of his contract he was to write a
complete report, detailing every possible
feature of the discovery for historical
preservation. The Investigator returned
at nightfall, covered with clay, with
clothing torn and skin broken in count
less places by falls of rocks. He sought
out the chairman of the committee that
employed him and silently delivered to
him this statement: Mileage in looking
for dead Indian, $50; reading story about
dead Indian. SO; bruised shins on the
way to dead Indian, $40. Report: There
was no dead Indian. Macon MO- Re-

HASH.

Some people find fault when eating
hash because they don't know what is
In 1t. Such souls are simply trying to
dodge happiness. Would anybody ever
start upon a journey If they knew the
cars were going to leave the track. or
that the bridge was sure to collapse?
No, indeed. Would lovers of hash ever
order that most toothsome Wand were
1t not for the delightful uncertainty
attached to 1.-THE compelling mystery
In which it Is wrapped?
Why be wise when perfect happi.
ness lies in ignorance? Hash has stood
the test Of time, and, whatever it is
made Of, history has yet TO place a.
calamity at It's door. Wine has caused
the head to rise above the church
steeples; pie has ruined the digestive
apparatus and hot biscuits have
brought the price Of nightmares down to
a surprisingly low figure; but hash.
plain, regular, inoffensive hash, has
gone on down the ages and left moth.
Ing in It's wake but a fond memory.
and sweet taste in the mouth. Why
worry?

started he had a list of 109 names that
had been marked up. but in going deep
into the details he found there were IA
duplicates. That is there were ii
Indians who were shrewd enough to
see that by having two names they
could get double the amount Of land
The duplicates will of course be can
celcd.
To the casual observer it would
appear that the Indians are fairing
better than the homesteaders. The
land selected for them is among the
best land in the vicinity of Saltwater.
An Indian having wife and two
children is entitled to 40 acres of land
10 acres for each one-and the Govern
ment gives then a paid up water right.
They are give trust deeds the final
patent not to issue for 90 years. Dur
ing that period the Indians cannot
dispose of the land nor do they have to
pay taxes. After the 90 years, when
the patent is given it is understood they
can dispose of the land if they so desire,
but the Government hopes that by that
time the Piutes will be so we'll situated
that they will not want to dispose of
their land
At the present time there are from
10 to 90 Indians putting III crops and
are starting out nicely. Many Indians
have been employed at irrigation on the
old ranches for a number of years and
are thoroughly familiar with the system
They ought to succeed fairly we'll if
they can get started.
Mr.. Sans says one of the greatest
drawbacks is the lack of teams and inn
plements. In closing his work here he
will recommend that, if possible, the
Government help the Indians in the
way of furnishing horses, plows and
seed. -Fallon Eagle.
