NEW USE FOR PANS
RED MEN FIND A SOURCE OF
AMUSEMENT.
indian Agent Wonders at sudden De
mand for Frying Pans-Finds
Earthen Tobosgan Slide on
Mountain side.

The Indian, however averse he may
be to any kind of useful labor, is not
slow to avail himself of new source
of amusement. This was shown some
years ago, when among the supplies
sent by the government to a certain
agency In the west were several hun
dred large frying pans with long han
dies.
These the Indian agent found in
stock when he took possession, and at
the end Of the year the number had
not been diminished. Thinking that
perhaps he had not discharged his
whole duty in the matter Of supplying
Uncle Sans wards with these culinary
utensils, the agent began making spe-
cial efforts to induce the red men to
use them.
At first, says Harper's Weekly, It
was hard work, but by the time he
had given out about two dozen there
came a sudden change. Not a day
passed in which the agent did not
have applications for at least a dozen
and some days he disposed of twice
that number
When the supply was nearly ex-
hausted he noticed among the appli-
cants some to whom he had previously
given pans, and naturally enough he
became a trife curious to know what
use they were making Of them. He
questioned several Of the men to no
purpose, but at length a young buck
more communicative than the rest
gave him to understand that If he
would visit certain part of the res
ervation not far away he would find
his inquiry answered.
The next day, therefore, the agent
rode out in the direction indicated.
About two miles from the agency he
noticed on the crest Of a narrow spur
of the mountain three or four Indians
who suddenly disappeared on the op-
posite side of the ridge. At the same
time he heard family the cry Of many
voices.
On turning the point Of the ridge he
saw a crowd Of several hundred In,
dams who were shouting as If greatly
excited. He noticed also several OBJ.
jects, which he at first supposed to be
boulders, descending the side of the
mountain toward them with tremen
dous rapidity.
Instead Of fleeing frog these moving
objects, the Indians simply applauded
and shouted. Soon he saw other OBJ
jects like the first descending and In
short time the whole situation was
| plain to him.
Having elected long, smooth slope
of the mountain where there were nc
stones, the Indians had converted Il
into a sort of earthen toboggan slide
and we're utilizing the frying pans az
toboggans.
Seating themselves in the pans they
grasped the handles with both hands
then crossing their legs over theil
arms they went spinning down the
slide with great rapldity. The agen
let them have the few pans that re
manned in the storehouse, but did no
order a new supply.

His First Case
By DONALD ALLEN
Copyright, 1910. BY Associated Literary Press

Mr.. Paul Franklin has passed his
examination and become a member of
the bar. Not that he intended to hang
out shingle and become practicing
lawyer, but more to oblige the good
old aunt who had brought him up and
sent him through college and had oft

You will have the estate to man.
age during my life, and when / am
gone you will have to manage 1t for
yourself. One should be lawyer to
do these things"
Within week after Paul had been
granted legal right to add "Attor-
ney at Law" after his name, the old
lawyer of the estate, in turning the
papers over to the young man, said:
There is one matter 1 wish to call
your particular attention to. The
estate owns Lake Placid. l stocked
It with choice fish several years ago
and put up many signs of mo Tres

orally respected, but last summer one
particular person, having a camp a
short distance away, persisted in fish
ing in spite of all protests. have
just received word that the same per
son is back there for the summer and
is fishing again. Our man there
thinks an example ought to be made
He says that when he made protest
this person told him to go to grass"
"A very nervy person." remarked
the young lawyer.

a warrant, make an arrest and bring
the case to trial. You can go vi

Punched the Wrong One.

Among the passengers on q Penn.
sylvania train leaving Newark about
four o'clock a day or SO ago for New
York was a group of four, father,
mother, a boy about five years old
and a girl about three years younger.
Nearly all the way TO Jersey City the
head of the family was trying to con.
vince his wife that there was no dan
ger in going by the tube. but the
woman seemed nervous and kept re-
peating, Let's take the boat" At
Jersey City the father guided them
to the elevator, and they entered the
car in waiting, No sooner had II
started than the woman gave signs of
Mysteries, but the man, alive to the
situation, pinched the baby. II
squalled Justify. diverdng the mothers
attention from imaginary danger. A
number of passengers witnessed the
performance, one of whom when the
short trip was over asked the man:
"Why didn't you pinch the woman?"

make it your first case. The justice
Is bound to find verdict for you and
impose a smart fine, and that will de-
ter other campers from trespassing."
II don't want to get the reputation
of being arbitrary and mean" said
Paul.
But people must respect the law"
put in the aunt as she came into the
discussion. IF the laws can't be
enforced what will become Of us?
People have no more right to catch
my fish than to catch my chickens.
1t is my desire, Paul, that you take
up this case. Those people who come
out from the city to camp for the
summer are very reckless lot. They
don't pay the slightest attention to
signs. What they need is a good
scare.
Lake Placid was three miles from
the manor house, on another piece of
land. 1t was a favorite place for sum-
mer camping, and there were no re-
strictions except as to the fishing.
1t had been stocked with carp as a
fad Of the aunt, Word was dis.
patched to the man who acted as
watchdog, and in two or three days
subsequently he reported that sum-
mons had been issued for the guilty
and defiant party, and he named the
date when the trial was to come of
before the justice Of the peace in the
village.
MIR. Attorney Franklin drew a men
tai picture of bearded rufian with
a political pull who was setting coun
try law at defiance and denudine
Lake Placid of its carp In spite of all
signs and protests, and he ,at once
looked up the law . trespass and
made himself familiar with It. Wher
he had learned all about 1t, he in
vented plea 70 the jury.
OF course, the defendant would cal
for one. He went out to the orchard
and repeated his. plea over and ovel
again. 1t was strong. It was logical
II was convincing. 1t wound up BY
saying that If beetle-browed and black
bearded rufians could steal an OLE
lady's carp and not suffer the conse
quences, they could also break theil
way into her house at midnight anC
cut her throat and still go free.
The jury must not look at the vaIu,
of the carp, but at the principle o
the thing, and he would leave tn,
case in their hands. feeling that jus
tice would prevail in the land TIL,

Claim Agent.

Up in Minnesota Mr.. Olsen had a
COW killed by a railroad train. In

Mr.. Olsen, you must remember this:
Your COW had no business being upon
our tracks. Those tracks are our pri-

NEED MONEY FOR GOOD WoRK
Plans Of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis.

What "a Million for tuberculosis
from Red Cross Seals" will do in pro-
viding some of the 275,0OO beds need
ed at once in the United States for
consumptives, Is explained in a recent
bulletin of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis. There Is just about one
bed for every ten INDECENT consump-
tives, and If all tuberculosis persons
in the country are counted, both rich
and poor, hardly one for every rs or
80. II sufficient hospital accomoda-
tons are provided only for those
who are too poor to pay the full
price for their treatment, fully 275,000
more beds in special institutions for
tuberculosis would be needed at once.
The immense outlay necessary to pro
vide and maintain so many beds in
hospitals, make It imperative, the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis de.
clares, that such institutions be erect
ed from public money, either NUM-
cipal, county or state. In order to
get appropriations for public hospitals
for tuberculosis, agitation is neces
sary, and in order to create a cam
paign OF agitation, organization Is de
manded. But in order that an organi
cation may carry on an effective cam
paign, funds are needed.
These funds it is proposed to secure
In as many communities as possible
from the sale of Red Cross seals.
