Mrs. Bellah placed the little thing in
small box with netting over it rather
than put it outdoors to freeze.
To her surprise the butterfly lived, so
she then put it in large hat box with
netting over the top and sprinkled the
netting with sugar and water. The
butterfly is dark reddish brown. with
pale yellow and blue splashes near the
end of its wings. When asleep or
when its wings are closed it resembles
n dried leaf Mrs. Bellah finds that
the butterfly sleeps most of the time,
but she never fails to put it in the
sunshine every bright day and to give

sun warns 1t up the butterfly opens its
wings and flies back and forth in it's
cage, thus taking its daily exercise.

"UP SALT RIVER

up Salt River" was where all the
defeated candidates used to go. Ap-
parently nobody navigates that rifficult
and unlucky stream today.
The term going up Salt River" is
very nearly obsolete, yet for upward
of century and up to a few years
ago it was the universal way of describ
ing political defeat.
The real Salt River is in Kentucky.
To get 80 miles it winds around 100
miles. Once it was filed with debris
and natural distractions, making it
very difficult for even a rowboat to get
upstream. A Kentucl1ian first coined
the political phrase, up Salt River"
A Democratic Locofoco campaign
hymn in 1910 directed against Tippe-
canoe Harrison ran thus:
I'VE are marching up Salt River, a
sad and gloomy band"
Voters gave the lie to that song at
the presidential election, when Tip
pecanoe and Tyler, too" went bound
ing into office.
The next year Congressman Duncan,
of Ohio, said on the floor of the House:
THE Federal party has been dead for
40 years. For 40 years it has been
rowing up Salt River"
During the war ana for several years
afterward there were published in
Philadelphia pamphlets headed salt
River Express" salt River Gazette"
and salt River Mares Nest"
