Every boy who has chance TO go to

ever has by fooling away his time with
things that are not worth while. The
reason why so many boys make mis-

see the connecti1n between schooling
and success In nfler life. But, whether
they see Il or not, the connection is

THE wlLp ACE LEGEND.

L0ngfellow's "Hiawatha" relates an
interesting legend of the origin of the
corn plant. A legend of similar charm
has been handed down telling Of the
origin OF the wild rice which is rel
ished not only by myriads OF wild
fowl. but "a staple article of food
with many northern Indians. The
story Is that long years ago the Indian
tribes lived In the sunny south. but In
course Of time they increased, cover
ing all lands. except the north. In
order to prevent the extinction OF
game many tribes became cannibals.
One tribe. whose chief was Babomwa-
giwisIkung. thought this was wrong.
Wandering one day far from his haunt
In search of game. he became exhaust
ed from fatigue and hunger and lay
down to sleep. In a vision he saw a
beautiful white spirit, which told him
to gather his tribe together and take
them to the northland. where they
would have peace and plenty. On his
journey he would come to great lake,
on the shore Of which he would find
birch bark basket containing seed
which he was to SOW upon the waters,
and this would grow and produce
food that would prove everlasting.
The only condition exacted was that
his tribe should always live In peace
and harmony with the white race. The
directions were carried out, the seed
planted. and Wild rice grew, furnish
ing a nourishing food for the Indian
and proving great attraction for
Wild fowl.
The existence OF this legend is cited
to the present day to explain why the
ChIppeway Indians have never been at
war with the whites. Wild rice still
forms a staple article OF diet with
many northern Indians, while the ex-
tensive fields Of II are the gathering
place for wild fowl, some OF them
flying hundreds OF miles to reach them.
The plant thrlyes in ponds or flowing
streams. varying in depth from few
inches to four feet. The seed Is often
sown In game preserves and private
ponds and seems to do well under a
variety Of soil conditions, though it
seems to flourish best where the bot.
tom Is a soft black mud. The seed
may be sown In spring or fall, prefer
ably the latter, and may be secured of
several northern firms. Where wild
rice grows the ducks will come TO feed,
and the hunting in many a locality
where there are suitable ponds or
streams could be greatly improved
were some wild rice sown.

ter Mrs. John Aston arrived here from
Europe, Supreme Court Justice Mills,
sitting at White Plains, appointed Chas.
Fl. Young referee to take testimony in
the suit brought by Mrs. Astor for sep
aration from Col. John Jacob Astor.
Col. Aston sailed on his yacht, the
Nourmahal for Cuban ports three days
before his wife arrived. The referee
was appointed on the consent Of John
Cadwalader, counsel for Mrs. Aston. and
Lewis Cans Ledyard, counsel for Col
Astor and the suit is said to have been
brought in Duchess county because the
Astor country place is at Rhinebeok.
The fact, that the suit has been
brought has been kept secret because
counsel in case did not file an order ap-
pointing the referee while it il custom
