paid the record price for those days
for the picture, 1000 ducats, about
$4,000. He hung it in the royal pal
ace at FontainebIeau.
That smile must be powerful, for
in the 400 years it has kept at dis
lance the devastating hand of the
vandals of four revolutions. 1t es-
capped even the ravishing of the com
mune. There is soemthing about 1t
that must have inspired respect; per-
haps it was the fear lest that smile
haunt the depredator. Since it was
hung at the Louvre it has been the
worlds picture.
How Perugia came to get the pict-
ure happened thusWise: He was one
of four men employed by a firm that
was commissioned by the Louvre
management to encase in glass the
more valuable paintings. That was
in October, 1910. The work had to
be done four times before it was
considered satisfactory. Thus Peru
gia had ample opportunity to learn
how the picture was hung. He says
he had no accomplices; he simply
walked in, put the picture beneath
his overalls and walked out. He was
questioned since by the police, but his
request hta teeyharshc
request that they search his room dis
armed their suspicion. When he
crossed the French frontier and open
ed with alacrity his paint box that the
Italian customs inspectors might see
the rags and painting tools the Off
Gals lazily shrugged their shoulders;
painters were always going to and fro
as the seasons waxed busy or slack.
He was getting back at Napoleon,
Perugia said, for the little corporal's
many depredations while he was rul-
err of France. 1t was a simple thing.
The paint box was the exact size of
the painting; there was no false bot
tom: only rags and the tools of his
trade covered the priceless WORK OF
art.
The picture has been restored to
the Louvre, to remain as in the CEN
turtles past the wonder and delight of
the art loving people of the world.

UR-MY-TaSM
WHERE STORMS ARE BORN
A Scientist Finally Locates the
Trouble Point at Yuma, Col,
and Tells the Causes.

Science claims to have at last
placed it's finger upon the exact loca-
ton in this country where cyclones
are born. This is Yuma, Col, 1873
miles east of Denver in the foothills
of the Rocky mountains, with an al
titude of 400 feet. According to
DR.. Emil Schildenkrantz, an eminent
German meteorologist who has been
experimenting in this country, the
environment of Yuma convinces him
that this little town is the cradle of
the cyclone.
One of the reasons for this, he
makes plain, is that the climate has
sharp alterations of heat and cold.
This is one condition making directly
for the creation of vacuums in the
air. In the summer the days are in
tenseIy warm there, the temperature
frequently reaching 10S and 10
above, and yet the nights are cool.
Another reason the meteorologist
gives for this is that the short, crisp,
curling buffalo grass, which has near
ly become extinct but grows around
Yuma, reflects the heat more strong
Iy than any other natural medium,
and the grass, forming a blanket, pre-
vents the absorption of the heat by
the earth. The suns rays are flung
back, twice heating the air, and so
creating the vacuum that is always
the preparation of a cyclone.
One remarkable feature about
Yuma is that while it creates the vac
uums that result in cyclones it is
immune from these storms itself.
The doctor studied the air with his
telescope and distinctly saw the for
nation of tiny but unmistakable
funnel shaped clouds on many occa-
sions, and the cyclones that occurred
later all proved, according to time
and wind direction, to have resulted
from these little clouds.

WHERE IS OLD CHIEF CRAZY SNAKE?


and it was afterwards alleged that
they were freed men, not Indians,
and had no connection with the
Snakes.
Crazy Snake, who is down on the
rolls of the tribe as Wilson Jones, >"
heard of the sentiment against him
and his followers, and called a coun-
ell of war in a little hut near his
home not far from Hickory Ground.
There a posse of officers, headed
by Sheriff Odom of Mcintosh county,
found them, and a shot was fired, by
which side it was never established.
The air was quickly full of bullets,
and Odom fell wounded, to die later
Several others were wounded and in
the thick of the battle the Indians
made their escape.
But the old Snakes solemnly aver
that Crazy Snake was shot through
the leg and was placed on a horse
by his followers, who headed for the
timbered country to the south. 1t was
Ia known fact that Crazy Snake, who
was in the neighborhood of 60 years
old, was a poor shot with a rifle.
The story goes that by travelling at
night and hiding during the day the
Snakes and their leader reached the
Kickapoo reservation in the south
western part of the state. There, it
is said, they found lodging with SYM
pathizers, where their leaders inju-
ries could be cared for.
Iii the meantime the officers and
militiamen were hunting for the old
Creek and his followers in the timber
mazes between the Deep Fork and
the Canadian, but without success.
Dozens of Snakes were examined, but
all proved their innocence in the end.
Finding Crazy Snake then became
habit with officers and newspaper
men alike He was located" in
Mexico, where he AMI his faithful
band had found refuge on an Apache
reservation in Arizona; on a funeral
pyre in Mexico, and in a dozen other
places
His family rather encouraged the
IDEA that he was dead, but the fact
that they presented no proofs of
death and claims of heirship to his
money still leaves Indian officials to
believe that the aged leader is alive.
Three years ago Thomas Wilson
came, supposedly as emissary from
his father, and started to arrange for
the dropping of the charges against
Crazy Snake, provided that he prom
ised to live a peaceful life.
He left town several times between
conferences, supposedly to see his
father, and returned each time in
exactly .forty-eight hours. Crazy
Snake, however, feared a trick, and
the negotiations were called off.
The Indian office is not interested
in the apprehending of Crazy Snake
on a criminal charge, but it would
like to know if he is ever going t.
claim the few hundred dollars in tri
bal funds now to his credit here.

ship over the Snake clan of Greek In
dams, a sum OF money which is to his
credit in the United States Indian
agency here may cause another
search to be made for the Indian who
in the spring of 1909 literally stood
the minions of the law on their heads
and disappeared, leaving not so much
as a footprint behind him. They be-
lieye he is alive, else his children
would have claimed the money.
Several men were killed in the
famous smoked meat rebellion in
April of that year. which at the time
was supposed to have been caused by
Crazy Snake, and to save long le-
gal battle he assembled a little band
of friends and left the country, while
posses of deputy sheriffs and most OF
the First regiment of Oklahoma
militia beat the bushes around Hick-
orv Grounds in search of HarjO and
his followers.
Snakes Blamed for Everything.
The Snake Indians, a clan Of Greeks
who refused to submit to the treaty
with the government providing for
individual allotments to members OF
the Creek tribe, were held to be re-
sponsibIe for most of the petty devil
try occurring along the Deep Fork
river, forty miles southwest of here,
where most of the Snakes live.
Every time a man vas killed or
wounded or a fight occurred it was
laid to the door Of the Snakes, and a
rounding up would inevitably follow
crime in that section. About the
only Iawnessenss of which the Snakes
were ever convicted, however, was
petty squabbling with the loyal Greek
Indians and resisting or hindering
the work of field parties of the Dawes
commission employees engaged in en-
rolling the Creeks and members OF
their families.
In the spring of 1909 Creek In
dams from all over the nation were
gathering at Hickory Grounds for the
annual festival of the clans living
within a radius of twenty miles or so
A white farmer residing near the
scene of the encampment complained
of a petty disturbance in a house or
the edge of the camp grounds, anc
when several deputy marshals from
Mcintosh county went to the scene
they were met by a fusillade OF bull
let's. The word was instantly SEN
along the line to the officers of Mus
cogee and Mcintosh counties that the
Snakes were on a rampage" ant
one deputy had been wounded.
