The states below the Mason and

is not exactly clear, have not in
the past looked upon foreigners
as very desirable people. but Ia
latter years there has been q
change. This is probably due to
clearer appreciation Of their

1t is a base libel on the American
hen to charge that she could lay about
twice as many eggs as she does every
year. and is therefore slothful. 1t is
unbelievable that the American Poul-
try association is responsible for this
reflection on her powers. The truth
is. the hens egg output is automatic,
being regulated by the treatment her
owners give her. On proper diet,

were compelled to drive iron spikes
In the face OF the cIiff and mount By
such artificial aids. To ascend the
tower without the use OF some such
means would be an impossibility.
1t Is not unlikely that, in the course
Of year or two the government win
send an official expedition to the ton

that stairways and ladders to the sum-

have been made and 1t is not fmpos-

The Indian legends concerning the
Devils Tower are many. The plain
tribes all regarded the rock with su-
perstftious awe and the medicine men
ascribed its construction to the DOW

has been echoed by the white men in
christening the rock the DEVILS Tower.

HUNTING WORK IN SUMMER.

A graduate OF the University OF
Minnesota has asked the New York
Post and the Chicago Tribune to air
his reasons why commencement
should be held in the fall instead OF
in June He left school in June with
such honcrs as Phi Beta Kappa dang
ling from his sheepskin, but, like Daw-
son, IL, says he has found no work
yet He blisters the paper with a
scorching argument that summer is
not the psychological time to find en-
pioyment. But suppose this young
man had been released from the class
room and campus along in September
and had to trail the jobless route for
the following six months. would he
not. along about the holidays. deplore
q bleak worlds unkind woridliness?
Would he not prefer to be knee deep
in summer, when. II he had to remain
idle, he could at least retain degree
of physical comfort! The trouble
with too many Of these present-day
graduates is that they emerge from
the dear old alma mater thinking
destiny has a greater career carved
out than is really In store for them;
they are not willing to begin at the
bottom. says the Indianapolis Star.
Scholastic training Is the greatest as
set young man can carry as he
strikes out for himself. but with 1t he
must have the determination to begin
with little things II he hopes ultimate
ly to reach greater things. A college

Following the store robbery and
shooting of policeman in Cleveland
by boy. infiamed by stories of Wild
West life and highwaymen. a council
man OF that city has introduced an
ordinance prohibiting the sale OF
trashy and immoral books to the
youth. There should be such legisla-
ton in every city. says the Ohio State
Journal. We spend millions to edu-
cate a boy right: why not do some
thing to keep him from being educated
wrong? We have laws to prevent peo-
pie from poisoning their bodies: why
not regulation to restrain them from
poisoning their minds? To give q boy
q book that will make a highwayman
of him is a black offense that should
not be permitted. IL is an attack on
society that society should not toll
crate. We are greatly excited upon
the question what schooibooks shall
be furnished the children. We should
be great deal more excited upon the
question of keeping harmful books
away from them. Ordinances are need
ed for this purpose. There is a vast
amount of bad citizenship made by
bad books. and there are stacks OF bad
boys.

BIG DEVILS TOWER
Rock Is One of Uncle Sans Ma
tionaI Monuments.
Gigantic Stone Rises Upward 1850
Feet From the Level Plain and
Is Landmark Visible for
Many Miles.

Denver, Colo.-Under the act FOR
the preservation of American an
tfquities" the United States govern.
ment has become custodian of many
remarkable attractions, which have
been grouped under the head of ma.
tional monuments, and none Of these
Is more wonderful than the little
known Devils Tower, In northern
Wyoming.
The Devils Tower Is a gigantic
rock, 1880 feet high, rising sheer from
the level plain. No doubt 1t is the
product of long ages Of wind and wa
ter erosion. 1t can be seen for hun
dreds of miles on all sides. as 1t is in
plains country. The rock would be
remarkable even II 1t were In a bro
ken and rugged country. but rising as
1t does from the open prairie, and
standing like lone sentinel amid the
vast and silent plains, its weird ef-
feet Is intellectually heightened.
The Sioux, Cheyennes and Crows,
who made the country surrounding
the DEVILS Tower. their hunting
ground in early days, have many leg
ends about this strange rock In
later years, when the venturesome
white men began to push across the
northern plains. they utilized the
Devils Tower as guide post. The
landmark. looming up on the prairie,
served to enlighten many an emil
grant as to his whereabouts.
Under the act of 1906. giving the
government the right to set aside all
such natural curiosities for the bene-
fit Of the people, the DEVILS Tower
was one Of the first national monu-
ments created. The Devils Tower
monument consists OF about 1000
acres, and preserves for all time this
landmark. The tower is in charge Of
the nearest general land ONCE, which
is at Cheyenne. Probably 1t will be
many years before the Devils Tower
