Legend of a Flood.

Like nearly every savage tribe they
have a legend Of a flood which a long
time ago devastated the world. This
legend, anthropologists say, is uni
versal among savage tribes and there
fore cannot be regarded as proof that
this particular tribe is descended from
Christian forefathers.
Professor StefanssOn accounts for
their existence by the fact that In the
year 9S2 Greenland was discovered
and settled by 5000 Icelanders. One
thousand of these people sailed from
Norway and missed Greenland, but
landed on the coast Of Newfoundland,
where they established a colony, built
fourteen churches, two monasteries, a
nunnery and other structures, the
ruins of which are still standing.
These people crossed TO the coast Of
America for timber. There were no
Eshmos ut this time, either on Green
land or Newfoundland. The Norsemen
settled in two colonies, one on the
north and one on the south side Of
Newfoundland.
In the fourteenth century Eskimo
came from the north and eXterminated
the north settlement. Their record
was complete till 1441, when the black
plague scourged Europe and for two
centuries communication between New

HELD FORTUNE MANY YEARS.
Now Wants Court to Tell Him What
to Do With S4Soo0o.

Benezet A. Hough of Danbury, Conn,
wants the superior court to tell him
what to do with some S4SO,0OO that has
been In his possession for many years.
He is administrator of an estate which
he has not reported for twenty-one
years, according to his own admissions,
and yet he has been drawing $3,O5O a
year from it.
Back in 1872 the Mississippi, Ouat-
chita and Red River Railroad cOmpa-
ny was given 25O,OOO acres Of land by
the state of Arkansas. The railroad
issued $3.50, 900 worth of bonds and
protected them with the Arkansas
land. In 1877 the bonds were default
ed, and the bondholders foreclosed on
the land.
Then Jared E. Redfleld Of Essex, a
partner of Jay Gould, came along and
made a contract with the bondholders
to buy up the land In Arkansas at 80
cents an acre.
That was in June, 1882. In 1889
Jared e. Redfield died, and Benezet A.
Hough, whose wife was Mrs. Redfeld's
sister, was made executor. Many If
not all of the bondholders died, and the
land was forgotten.

A Migratory People.

They are a migratory people, never
remaining longer than a few weeks in
the same place. When they moved
with them. They never live ON the
coast itself, and it was for this reason
that Amundsen failed to discover
them when he sailed past their island.
In the winter time they settle on the
ice in the center of bay and hunt
seal.
In the summer they go to the center
of the island, where they eat the carl
bOu which there abound in thousands
Once in great time they capture one
Of the rare specimens Of barren land
bear.
Their houses are made Of snow, with
a roof of driftwood which on rare oc-
casions Is found on the coast. The
stray fragments Of wood are highly
priced.
Furs furnish their clothing. Their
shoes are cut to come we'll up to the
thighs. Here 1t is met by kind Of
underskirt which reaches to the waist
The coat is fashioned in almost pre-.
cisely the same manner as the full
dress coat worn at inaugural balls by
their civilized brothers. 1t cuts off at
a sharp angle just above the waist line
and long tail divided into two pieces
hangs down behind. The whole outfit
is strapped together by means of
thongs and buttons made from raw
hide and bone.
In one place on the island ProfessNr
Stefansson discovered n conical stone
house which bears a striking resem-
blance to the houses built in Greenland
and Newfoundland by the Norsemen
who first inhabited those places.
None OF the natives had ever seen
sulphur match or a rifle. One tribe ex-
pressed surprise when Stefansson killed
a caribou with rifle Mt distance of
more than 1000 yards. They told him
of a wonderful man who had once
lived in that country who had a bow
and arrow that would shoot over a
mountain and kill a deer or bear on
the other side.

In a communication to The Times

ers company, 551 Woodward-aye., Vino
was the candidate OF the Prohibition
party for mayor In 1910, disclaims
Identification with the arrangements
for the Industrial parade In Cadill.
aqua of Wednesday night, to dispel
an erroneous opinion upon his friends
that he was. This opinion Mr.. Pierce
finds particularly embarrassing as a
result of float having been entered
in the parade by the United Brewers.
The communication Is as follows:
July 25, 1912.
To the Editor of The Times:
AS the name Pierce has been
prominently mentioned in connec-
tion with the Cadillaqua parade
OF last night and as many OF my
personal friends have called me
UP In regard to II, fear that
shall be misunderstood in this re-
spect
/ want II distinctly understood
that i am in no way connected
with the management OF this gi-
gantic fraud.
In my opinion any management
that would allow a Brewers as
sociation TO use It's name and
parade TO deceive the public, as
the Brewers float did last night,
is lacking in both judgment and
moral character
This float, beautifully and ex-
pensively decorated loaded with
grain, presumably TO show what
beer Is made from, should have
been loaded with the brewers
and saloonkeepers' finished product,
the same as the magnificent
Packard and Flanders floats were.
II ! had been connected with
the management OF the parade,
would have insisted upon the
brewers showing the finished re-
suits OF their traffic, w ich would
have been a lot OF bcdraggled
drunkards, palefaced women and
half-starved. ragged children
The brewers float was particu-
larly deceptive inasmuch as only
four per cent OF the retail price
Of beer and whisky goes TO the
farmer for his grains. The other
SO per cent goes TO debauch leg
islation. and the people.
Any product that is only four
per cent helpful and sc per cent
destructive should not and would
not be allowed In a parade II
had its management.
Yours for a greater and better

REPETITION OF FETE

The consensus Of opinion
among Detroit merchants and
business men Is against the
adoption OF Cadillaqua as an an
nual event in Detroit, according
to careful canvass made,
Thursday, by The Times.
The reasons given did not
vary from the statement that
business during the present
week has been at a standstill
and that the much-touted Cad
illaqua has not come up to ex-
pectations In the matter OF en-
tertainment. Merchants declare
that ordinary trading has been
interrupted, and that the
crowds expected to be attracted
TO Detroit during Cadillaqua
week, by Its enthusiastic pro-
moters, either have not mate
rialized or have not found their
way into the shops. Transpor-
tation companies, hotels and
eating places seem TO be the
only concerns likely to receive
any financial benefit from Cad
illaqua.
