Suffered Unnecessarily.

Some one has told this very Inter
esting story Of ship that was be-
Gained. The drinking water that they
had on board was exhausted, and the
sailors were nearly dying Of thirst.
Just as they were about to give up all
hope a sail was spled in the distance.
The men, taking a new lease % nTee.
signaled their distress, but to their
horror, instead of veering from its
course to bring them aid, it answered
with these words slower your BUCKETS
where you are!" A frenzy of wrath
seized the thirsty men and they cursed
the captain of the ship who, they sup
posed. had renowned all the tradi-
tons of the sea, as well as the In
stincts Of humanity, in telling them
to drink the salt watet.
Then one Of the sailors suggested
that they obey the order, and when ne
had lowered the bucket discovered
that the ship was standing In q stream
of fresh water.

MARKED PROGRESS OF MAN
Invention of outrigger Canoe Was One
Of the Greatest in History Of
the World.

One Of the great epoch-maliing In
ventions was the outrigger canoe,
which Is Of Polynesian or perhaps Ma
lay origin. 1t made practicable the
exploration of the Pacific and the set
Element of island groups separated
from one another by vast distances.
The great sailing canoes in which mi
grants from Tahiti voyaged northward
over thousands of miles Of trackless
ocean to the Hawaiian islands, nobody
knows how many centuries ago, giving
to that archipelago It's first popula-
ton, carried so or more men and wom-
en-, presumably with children accom-
panying.
Captain Cook, the FIRST white explor-
er to map the Pacific, found all the
island groups inhabited. The peoA
pie did not sag to him: "We are
discovered at last!" They were them
selves the discoveries. Long centu'
ries before Captain Cook was born
they had traversed all parts Of that
ocean; and the Polynesian navigators
had mapped it for themselves with
curious charts made of little sticks.
Children in that part Of the world are
brought up in boats. They are am am
phibious. Canoes for themselves they
make out Of followed logs, with sticks
of bamboo for outriggers. LAND and
water are the same to them; they are
equally at home in the sea or on terra
firma.

GAVE LIFE FOR HER PEOPLE
Pretty Legend Concerning Maiden
Worthy to Be KNOWN as Indian
Joan Of AIRS,

In the great northwestern country,
between the mighty Rockies and the
beautiful Cascades, are the mountains
| called the Huckleberry range They
spread their arms comfortably about
the many small mining towns of Wash
| ington. A soldierly array OF pines
and tamaracks keep watch over all the
inhabitants of Huckieherry range-the
! rough farmers, rugged miners and the
few native redskins still left.
A large tribe of Indians once lived
in these mountains, from the heights
of which one can look far over the
blue haze of Idaho, view the cleaning
wide ribbon OF the Columbia river, or
behold the white tips Of the Canadian
Rockies.
A tale is stold by the folk Of Huckle-
berry range about Camas, the fairest
maid of this ancient lndian tribe. Dur
ing one of the many forest hres OF
the region, when the entire range
seemed Threatened with destruction,
her arms some little pink and White
flowers and disappeared down the
winding trail.
She went to the very edge of the
fire, where the dried grasses Missed
and sizzled with the flames and the
blazing pines stretched out scorching
fingers toward her and the dainty
peace offering. Then-the legend says
the Great Spirit was appeased and
sheets of rain hid the brave Indian
maid from the view of her people.
Never more was Camas seen by her
tribe, but every spring since then the
strange little pink and white flowers
have covered the wide mountains of
Huckleberry range. In honor OF the
Indian girl the blossom Is called the
Camas flower.

CLAIM BLOOD OF ROMANS
Tuaregs of the Sahara Desert Are

Once World Rulers.

The original gas-masi1ed people OF

to be descended from the Roman col

who carried the standard of Moham-

The mystery that surrounds the
Tuaregs is doubled by their custom Of
always going masked. A mask of
white or black cloth covers the mouth

GOOD SAMARITAN OF EUROPE
Switzerland Surely Has Earned Right
to That Title From War-Stricken
Nations Surrounding Her.

Since the battle of MOrgarten in
1915 Switzerland has blazed the trail
toward human freedom as the Good
Samaritan" of war-strickcn Europe,
says Frederick Dossenbach in Ameri-
can Review Of Reviews.
The Helvetian republic was born
at the end of the thirteenth century,
through desire for emancipation from
autocratic despotism, when she scrap
heaped tiaa divine right of kings. The
very pact lknown az the wow or
Grutli") which the ancient federateS
swore to on that quiet spot, the Grutll,
on the classic lake of Lucerne, on the
first day of August, 1901. embodied the
great principle of ''the right or those
who submit to authority to have
voice ia their Own governments"
There the old Swiss proclaimed self
government against the autocratic rule
of the Hapsburgs.
Since those early struggles Swift
erland fought fiercely and unfalter-
insly te-niaiptain her liberty and
independence until Following the Ma
poleonic wars. At the congress OF
Paris in 1915 the European powers
FRANCE, Great Britain, Russia, Portu-
gal, Prussia and Austria=-formaily
and authenticity acknowledged that
the perpetual neutrality and inviola-
bility of Switzerland and its independ'
ence from all foreign influence are in
the best interests of the policy Of the
whole Of Europe|

SEEM TO HAVE, Fi}GINa PLACE
i.ct Where Do Facts Go That One

One of the odd things about what
We call loss of memory is that it is
catching. How often when one
pcrScn forgets Il name well known

II is equally well known, forget it, too.
Why is that?

We parted intent upon obtaining
thia necessary information. On meet

Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and

famine point and are suffering heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania

Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Iur-

by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or II we allow any

Great Men of Small Stature.

Aristotle, who for 1000 years held
sway over the world of thought, was
slender man, with small eyes and
a shrill, stammering speech. Athan-
asius, who at the council of Nice was
the most potent spirit, was q man OF
very small stature-a dwarf rather
than man, but of almost angelic
beauty Of face and expression. Greg
ory VII, perhaps the mightiest OF
the Roman pontiffs, who dethroned
sovereigns, was diminutiye man. and
so were Canute and the great Conde.
Voltaire, the literary autoGrat OF the
eighteenth century, was one OF the
thInnest and most spectral OF human
beings. Robespierre and Marat, Lead
els Of the French revolution, were far
below the average stature. Robespierfe
was only five feet two or three inches
and Marat less than five feet. Ma
poleon Bolqparte was also a man OF
small stature.

Thoughts in Music.

A girl, artistic to her very finger
tips, had been learning to play the
piano" for. six years, and had come
to hate music. She was victim of
the prevalent mechanical mode of
teaching. On being questioned, she
admitted that there was one thing
that interested her--a tune written by
herself. II loved to do it, and I can
sing it." Here she had used her own
initiative, and the exercise Of it had
made her happy. Teachers will find
that all children are interested in
thinking music, and that the interest
grows where otherwise it is apt to
flag" The value Of folksongs is di-
lated on, and the author has found
that boys like the Wagner motives,
some of which are as simple as folk
songs.

The Indians who live in Arizona
have great deal of sentiment about

one of which is that centuries ago on

she passed away Indians standing out
side the place where she lay noticed
an immense multitude of sparks that
flew up from the chiefs chimney and
settled upon the mountaiG side, where
they sh0ne as brightly as stars, never
growing cold and dead.
Later they sank into the earth and
formed the garnets that gem the entire

The Greyhound.

The greyhound was first used as a
good producer for its owners. 1t was
necessary to have dog that could
run fast to capture animals for food,
when weapons were in their Infancy
There was no scale OF points nor any
typical lines on which this dog was
bred. AS matter of fact utility was
the foundation of all the great breeds
of greyhounds. A wide-chested'
straight-shouldered, slack-loined, poor
chartered dog is unable to run fast
and dog that had those faults could
not do what the greyhound does. And
that IS the reason why some form OF
greyhound can be traced back as far
as we have any dog history.

be little, if any, controversy if men
