KIT cARsoN's COOL NERVE.
How the Daring Scout Tanned Band
Of Hostile kiowas.

How the Daring Scout Tanned Band
Of Hostile kiowas.
In exit Carson Days." by Ed
ward L. Sabin, is an account of a
dramatic incident that happened
after Kit Carson's first return from
Washington. 1t was out in the
Platte country:
Into the first noon camp of the
Carson party, twenty-five miles
from the BUou mouth, rode seven
kiowas. have the story from
Virgins.
mo Indians Of early plains days
were more to be feared than the
perpetually hostile Kiowas, and the
arrival Of the visitors indicated
trouble. Although Carson's repu-
tation among the tribes of the
southwest was undiminished, he
had been absent so long that to
many of the young men his face was
unfamiliar. These Kiowas evident
ly did not recognize him. They sat,
ate and the inevitable pipe was fill
ed, lighted and passed.
"Carson understood enough Kio-
wa to make out what the cultural
asides meant. Said the leader to
the other bucks:
"'These are some of those Carson
men who have killed so many OF
US. When the smoke has gone
around the third time, kill them
quick
Carson understood, but betray-
ed no emotion other than the suave
dignity which characterized the
meeting. He spoke to his compan-
ions:
"tBe attending to the horses.
Watch what l do, and if l lift my
hand, shoot
''The pipe passed once, twice,
and as Carson took it for the third
pull he remarked pleasantly, but
clearly, in plain English:
81 suppose this is the last time
round, is it? Now you will kill u.s.
'"The Indians understood enough
English to interpret Alright either
the words or the tone. Carson's
men Of course sprang forward with
their weapons. The startled kio-
was threw off their blankets, but
they were too late. Carson berated
them in Kiowa and English.
You red dogs! You thought
you could murder us. Do you know
Tho ! am? am Kit Carson. Take
| good look at me before you diev
1.-The Indians collapsed-not so
much from alarm as from astonish-
nent. They dropped their guns and
ows.
"fYou're nice set of cowards,'
coded Carson. Shame on you
nd your tribe! Go! Go tell your
hiefs that you have seen Kit Car
On and that he let you live. Stop!'
e yelled, as they skunk away. Take
our bows and arrows so you can
Ill a few rabbits on your way. And
'ext time you smoke the peace pipe
With white man don't plan to
murder him."

Tenants In Persia.

In Persia the tenant is absolutely
at the mercy of his landlord, who
can even seize upon the persons of
himself and his family and reduce
them to a sort of slavery till ar
rears of rent and interest are work
ed off, and this is true of most
countries under despotic rule. Ten
ants are generally tenants at will
and can be dispossessed on most
frivolous pretexts.
