OLD EXPLORER TOLD TRUTH
Story About Flow of the Nile River
Very Appropriate, Used to Point
Moral.

Some twenty-five centuries ago.
Herodotus, the father of history, heard
Of the Niger river, in western Soudan,
and that it flowed into the Nile.
When the Niger was actually found
by white men, 100 years ago, 1t did
not go anywhere near the Nile, but
doubled back on itself to flow into the
Gulf OF Guinea. And the critics had
much sport telling how credulous old
Herodotus was.
Now, French expedition comes
back from the Soudan, and declares
that very probably, in the time OF
| Herodotus, the Niger did just what
he said it did-f0Eed into the Nile.
They have found a dred-up water
course leading east. and they are
sure that the present channel Of the
Niger is comparatively new.
Which illustrates once more the
truth that men seldom invent any
story. They may garbe 1t, twist it,
distort it, exaggerate part OF it and
suppress other parts, get 1t out Of
! focus till 1t bears no resemblance to
the fact from which it started.
But almost always it starts from a
fact, or from something believed to
be fact.
Few men can tell the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth
without being carefully trained to do
So
Fewer still can tell lie and stick
to it without letting some tiny bit of
truth slip in. The existence Of the
legend which Herodotus wrote down is
proof that somebody believed in It..

somebody may not have been so far

$4,000. and had to make It good or be
exposed. You did make 1t good. You
did make 1t good-out OF that vault

You hoped to cover that loan you

would be the wiser for 1t. You hoped
to put 1t back; they all do. But, like
most OF them in tho same fix, you
found that you couldn't do It. Then
you began to look around for some
means OF covering up your crime. In
your dilemma you thought OF n certain
man who had left this town as boy,
who had gone to tho bad, and whom
you had helped give you credit for
n good heart, Giles-at various inter-
walls when he needed it. You thought
Of him. You got him to come here.
You told him what you wanted done;
you wanted the safe blown and robbed,
You promised that you would give him
half Of the big sum that you said was
inside--and which should have been
inside.
But you knew you were playing
with fire In taking this criminal In as
your confederate in so dastardly a
crime as robbing your own bank. You
needed to have that safe blown-to
have 1t appear that the bank had been

In workmanlike fashion and shot a re-
spectacle charge in the cracks Of tho
door. His explosion turned loose the
terrific load you had prepared for him.
The door was blown to pieces, so was
the yeggman, and you woke up in tho
morning and felt you were safe once

A little creek Is often In the vicin-
iy of a camp site, and handy cross

IS \ot very wide, it IS a simple mat
ter No throw two logs across 1t at the
desired point of crossing. Boys do
not require a railing on such a bridge,
of course, but If girl visitors are ex-
pected it is a good plan to provide d
railing such as is shown in Fig. Z.
The end railing uprights should be
driven into the ground, and these and
pair Of stakes driven into the
ground on the other side Of the log
ends should be spiked to the logs to
keep them from rolling.
If your camp is located near a lake,
you will probably want a pier, and a
short one can be built on the plan of
the creek bridge. OF course, the out.
err ends of the logs must be supported
upon couple of stout stakes driven
a foot or more into the lake bottom
and connected at the top with a
crosspiece.

WHEN you GO CAMPING.

The handy boy seldom remains a
tenderfoot long upon his first camp.
ing trip, because having learned re.
sourcefulness he is quick to adapt
himself to his new surroundings, and
is generally able to find his way out
of ifficulties and to make a pretty
good guess as TO how things in gen
eral should be done. For this rea-
son, things usually go along more
smoothly for the handy boy than for
the boy who never had to make him
self useful at home, and has been al.
lowed to shirk responsibilities.
Camping IS a splendid experience
for all boys, and the less equipment
they can get along with the more
practical good they will gain from the
trip. With careful planning, the
amount of equipment can always be
cut down to minimum. Even IL the
camp is to be in the back yard, or a
Nearby lot, the rule to go light
yhorId be observed
The handy boy will think of lots of
things to make while in camp, and he
should net fail to take along an
axe, hammer, saw, jack-knife, nails of
several sizes-including supply of
spikes-tacks, screw-hooks, screw
eyes, staples, wire, cord and rope,
for tools and working materials. Nails,
hooks and staples may be carried in
tin cans, but they will pack with less
waste space in small bags made OF
canvas, denim or burlap. These bags
should be provided with draw
strings.
Unless small sheet.iron camp
stove is taken along, you must build
an open fireplace. Fig l shows the
backswoodsman's scheme Two logs
are placed upon the ground side by
side, with one pair of ends close to-
gether and the other ends about one
foot apart, to form the sides OF the
fireplace. BY slanting the logs in
this fashion, small utensils can be set
across the logs at the narrow end of
the fireplace, and larger ones at the
wide end For suspending pals and
other utensils over the fire, hori-
zontal pole, known as the lug-pole,
should extend over the fireplace from
one end to the other, upon which to
hang pothooks. The illustration shows
how one end of the lug-pole may be
spiked to tree and the other end
supported in the crotch of a pole driv-
en- into the ground. The pothooks may

hooks in short lengths, it Is possible
to hang your utensils at any height
above the fire that you wish, and you
car hang cooked food at the right
height to keep it warm, without burn
ing it.
The camp crane shown in Fig. 3
furnishes another simple method Of
suspendinE food over a fire. Often
times a small sapling will be in
such a position that it can be bent
over for such a crane. The end OF
the pole can BIO notched to catch the
pail or kettle handle, or a small wiro
hook car be fastened to It.
The traless cooker Is becoming
mora and more popular in camps, be-
cause Il makes it possible to cook the
supper meal In 1t during the days,
without requiring any one member Of
the camping party to remain behind

exchange of travelling experiences.
Some time ago, the senator said ttah

trip, and stopped at "A big hotel in one OF
the large cities Everything was lovely
except the bin. which staggered him when
he saw the size of it,
As soon as the man from Utah rocoN-

sauntered away. Suddenly he paused and
returned to the desk.
