making quite a saving for the wear
er as small designs hold the thin
threads far better than those designs
which are set far apart. One style OF
yelling is made of heavy parallel
threads set about one-eighth of an
inch apart and held together by a
rosebud conventional design. Quite
another and more natty, serviceable

three on a checkered background.
Although there are many who favor
large hats and wear wells loosely
draped and hanging free over the race
others prefer the more neat manner
of fastening the veil at the back OF

the back of the neck with the folds

which robbed an army pay train f~-ty-
six years ago and cached its plunder
near Grass Lake, will be the Golden
Fleece of a typical twentieth century
party OF Argonauts which expects to
leave San Francisco soon.
The party, headed by f. E. Wick

will journey in automobiles to a spot
indicated on a rude map obtained re-
Gently by Strom from an aged Indian,
claiming to be the last of the attacking
party. who told Strom that Treasury
agents had kept such a close watch
that the bandits never had opportunity
to remove and dispose OF their plunder.
The attack occurred in 1867, when an
army paymaster's train was ambushed
near Grass Lake, on the klamath Falls
trail. In the first rush the bandits
drove back the fifty cavalrymen con-
voying the gold and made off with IT.
The troops rallied and finally captured
part OF the bandits. who stubboniy re-
fused to disclose the location OF the
cache.
The automobilists will be equipped
to dig for several weeks about the spot
indicated on the map.

AYELLOW BIRD IN THE
TRAP THAT HAD BEEN I,
SET FOR THE CAT


thousands of years ago. there
u was no such bird as the odd
looking pelican. which can be
seen any day at the zoo. The great
great-grandfather of the pelican about
a million years ago was a small yellow
bird that lived In tree and ate worms
instead Of fish.
This was in the days of witches. And
one of the ugfest old ones that ever
lived was the Witch of the Windy
Wold, whose home was a hollow tree
over dark lake in the midst of a for
est Of signing pines. When the wind
blew, the trees would sway and mourn
SO that the people thought the witch
J was crying, and as all were afraid Of
her. no one ever came near her tree.
With this witch lived a pretty bird
and black cat. The cat and the witch
and the bird got on nicely together for
a long time. Then the bird began to
steal things from the old woman. First
it was bat Of meat. than an apple and
even her eyeglasses. So the witch was
greatly worried. She did not like to
think either Of her pets would act SO.
Il will tell you who is stealing your
things. mother witch" said the bird
one day. 1T is the cat. 1 have seen
her do it myself
But the witch said she could not be-
lieve that of her pet. for she and Jet
were the best of friends.
! IF you don't believe me-" returned
the bird, set a trap and see what you
will catch. Put the trap in the cup
nd N nf nd
you will catch her."
So the witch made a trap and set 1t
ih the cupboard and baited it with the
cheese. When the bird saw this he ran
to the cat and told her that the old

But the cat had heard the bird talk.
ing to the witch. So she got a fat
worm and took 1t with her. Then with
a stick she pulled the cheese out Of the
trap and put the worm in its place.
"Oh. birdie! got such a fine cheese
bit out Of the cupboard" the cat said
to the bird There was kind Of trap
there, but threw 1t away, Better hur-
ry-the worm might get out Of sight" /"
So while the cat frisked away laugh
ing the bad bird slipped into the house,
opened the. cupboard slyly and put In
its head to peck at the worm. But as
soon as 1t got its head in. the trap fell,
and there was the bird fast prisoner.
The old witch heard the noise and
came running. and so did the smart cat.
When she opened the door there was
the yellow bird right in the trap that
had been set for the cat.
'.Ah! Ahw laughed the witch. 80
you, my pretty bird, are the thief. and
you tried to blame 1t on the cat! You
are a cruel. false friend. I am glad
the cat had sense enough to fool you
in return for your trick"
So the witch took the bird and walked
down by the water. and there in the
stream they saw lots OF fish swimming
by.
II have been thinking how to punish
you. my yellow bird" sighed the witch.
sitting down on d stump by the side OF
the lake. "And,1 think have a fine
idea at last. You stole from me and told
a falsehood On the cast. Now / am
going to turn you into a big ugly. awk-
ward bird that wades into water. Your
bill shall be long and a bag hang down
from 1t SO all can see what you get. and
you can steal no more
Then, as the cat loves fish," contin-
ued the witch. "it will be your duty to
wade in the water and get the cat's
dinner Of fresh nsh every day. After
you have done that You will have only
fish to eat for yourself"
So then and there the Witch of the
Windy Void cast her spells and wovo
her r.agic charms over the bird. 1t
swelled and grew and changed TIL what
had been a pretty. dainty thing like 4
canary. stood up in the mud with hid
eous long legs, q clumsy body, and 4
great bill from which hung a big bag
And at the command of the witch It be-
gan to fish. z
So this is the way that a million years
ago a tiny bird was turned into a peli
can to punish 1t for stealing.

+ OR many years there was no other
way to put the ball in play again
after a touchhaek or safety except to
bring it out as close as you dared to
where the opponents were lined uP
on your 25-yard line, and then kick
it over their heads either by a place
or drop-kick or by a punt. Then
about five years ago, the rules com
mittee decided to give a team the
option either of putting the ball in
play byt his kick out" or by scrim-
mage on their own 20-yard line.
Since that day no team puts the
ball in play after a safety or q
touohback by kick-out; they al
elect to try their luck With couple
of scrimmage plays, at least. If these
fail to net any advance, they reason
that they still have the alternative OF
punting the ball. which was all that q
lick-out option would have permitted
them had they 50 chosen. The con
sequence is that hardly anybody il

ing up in ignorance of the same and
wondering duly what in the world a
kick-o is and is for, anyway. The
net result of this will be that In a
few more years the committee will
do away with it altogether, and the
rule then will read that after a touch
back or q safety one may only put
the ball in play by a scrimmage on
their own 20-yard line. This will cut
out the whole OF rule 10, covering
considerably over a page, and several
other rules that are now necessary to
cover the method of procedure in
case any team should take a notion
to dig up this obsolete fashion.
II was the same with the rule re-
garding the way the ball should be
put into play at scrimmage. For
years and years the rule said it could
be put into play either by kicking 1t
forward or swapping it back Modern
defense spoiled the fl rmer method Of
putting it in play as feasible propo-
sition, SO the committee finally cut it
out for simplicity's sake. Then the
rule still said that it could be snap
ped back either with the hand or the
foot. But the colleges quit swapping
it back with the foot about 1890. They
