Death and Burial of DeSoto

The severe winter Of 1541-1542
discouraged the hardy French trav-
elers who had now spent nearly
three years in vain search. The
natives whom they found made
clothing from the fiber in the bark
of mulberry trees and from the
hide of buffaloes, and stored beans
and corn for food, but such things
seemed of little value to the seek
ers for the Gilded Man.
DeSoto returned to the Missis-
sippi and prepared to establish a
colony somewhere near the mouth
of the Red river. 1t was his pur-
pose to send to Cuba for supplies
and with this settlement as a base,
make a further search in the plains
of the great west. He did not live
to carry out his plans. Long ex-
posture and excitement had weaken
ed him. The malaria of the swamps
attacked him and he died within
few days. His body was wrapped
in nantes weighted with sand,
taken out in canoe and secretly
lowered into the great river he had
discovered.
His successor tried to conceal
DeSoto's death from the Indians.
The Spaniards had called their
leader The Child of theSun, and
now he had died like any other
mortal. They were afraid if the
Indians found his body they would
cease to believe that the strangers
were immortal and would massacre
all of them. The Indians were told
that the great leader had gone to
Heaven, as he had often done
before, and would return in few
days.-Ruth B.

The Boy Who
Wanted a Cricket

Once on the first day of April,
little boy went out into the streets
of a large city to see if he could
find such thing as a cricket, a
real, lave cricket.
He looked by the sides of all
the trees, and in every place where
grass was to be seen, but he could
not find any. At last he stopped
man and said, please, sir, have
you cricket you could give me?"
The man took him by the ear
and said, you little rogue! You
think to make an April fool of me,
do you? What is your name, sir?"
Frank White" said the boy,
land I'll thank you to let 60 of
my ear"
well, Frank, you must not play
tricks on Travellers" and he went
on.
Then Frank saw a boy of his
own age and went up to him and
said, DO you folks have such
thing as a cricket in the house?"
THAT means you want to fight,
don't It? replied the boy. "Well
I am ready for you. You will be
the third boy have fought today"
The boy took off his jacket and
hat and rolled up the sleeves of
his shirt.
Frank said he didn't want to
fight, but that he must find a
cricket.
But if you can't get along with
out fight" he added, showing two
small fists, Come on quick"
"Oh! Go and find your cricket"
said the boy.
So Frank walked on until he
came to baker shop. In the shop
he saw three women, three kittens
and a cat.
Frank went in and said to one
Of the women, please ma'am, can
you let me have a cricket?"
1--WE sell bread here, not crickets.

want with a cricket"
Don't crickets on the hearth

ANTELOPE MAN HAS
A BAD ACCIDENT


Adolph Island had his left arm bro
ken both above and below the elbow,
his hand badly crushed and suffered
a severe scalp wound from a flying
belt when his hand got caught between
a couple of pulleys on the separator of
the Highland Farmers machine, while
%threshing at the Ed Sunderland farm
last week. He was rendered uncon-
scious for a time from the blow the
belt gave him but he quickly recovered
and Erick Teigen took him by auto to
the Williston hospital where his
wounds were dressed and his arm put
in a cast. The doctors took an X-ray
photo of the broken bones and MI.
Island brought the photo back with
him. Yesterday the break separated
again and Mr.. Island was obliged to
make another trip to the hospital.
The accident happened so suddenly
that Adolph was not sure of what was
happening until it was all over, but
is now thankful it was not worse

conversation. 1t developed, accord
ing to his statement that he had just
sold a farm in Iowa, for $4,000
and was in Montana for the purpose
Of buying farm property, preferably
in the Judith basin.
Now Pete has a farm in the Ju-
dith basin, near Moore, which he has
been trying to slip to when
they were not looking for the past
five years. Here was a chance to let
go. He began to tell the farm buyer
of the merits of his place.
He talked for an hour, and won the
man from Iowa. The upshot of the
talk was that the Iowan agreed to
take Pete's place, for $4,000, half
cash on the nail, providing it was up
to representations. The buyer was to
meet Pete in Great Falls in a few
days and go to Moore to inspect the
farm.
Pete, feeling that he was $780, 900
to the good, invited the two men to
take dinner with him. He bought ci-
gars.
Then, after dinner, out of the clear
sky came the thunderbolt.
The young man called Pete to one
side and said:
"Mr. Peterson, it is all right enough
for you to buy Jul dinners, but do
not buy any automobiles on this farm
deal you have just made"
"Why not asked Pete in alarm.
Because" said the young man, 81
