about Paul and his doings, probably
you never heard about the winter OF
the blue snow. No? Well, that's too
bad, too. Nobody seems to be able to
give the exact year of the winter of
the blue snow, but 1t must have been
some time ago. Anyway, most of the
stories about the coming of Paul be-
gin: 1T was the winter of the blue
snow, y know, an Paul"
IN fact, the winter of the blue snow
may have been as far back as the
building of Solomon's temple In Jeru-
salenl--and that must have been away
back something like 1000 b. G. Any
way, when Solomon decided to build,
ne made deal with Hiram, king Of
Tyre, for some whopping big timbers.
Z Perk.ps you remember what Solo
non said to Hiram;
"Now therefore command thou that
they hew me cedar trees out of Leb-
anon; and my servants shall be with
thy servants; and unto thee will give
hire for thy servants, according to all
that thou shalt appoint; for thou
knowest that there is not among us
any that can skill to hew timbers like
unto the Sidonians.' And In the fifth
and sixth chapters Of / Kings, 1t is
written that Hiram "gave Solomon
Cedar trees and fir trees, according
to all his desire"
OF course the one place for Hiram
to cut cedars Of Lebanon lay ready to
hand. But when 1t came to the frs,
Hiram had to look around bit. FL
nally he decided that the country up
around Washington and Oregon way
had exactly the kind Of fir timber that
Solomon wanted. The only trouble
was that there didn't seem to be any
easy wdy to get the big trees down to
The ocean.
So Hiram hunted up Paul Bunyan
and got him to 60 up there and
straighten things out. Paul found |,
m easy job. There was lot Of wa.
ter lying around loose east Of the
Cascades and he just pulled the noun
tains apart SO that the water could
run down to the sea. Capt. Robert
Gray Of Boston, the first man to carry
the American Flag around the world
discovered In. 1788 A. D, this river
that Paul made for King Hiram. And
be called It the Columbia.

him back to form so quickly

Tigers leader. II saw that the
youngster was all frightened up and 1
loosened him. that's all"
"But just what did you say! came
the query.
The first thing said to him was
did you get a letter yet from that girl
down in Shreveport Stewart laugh
ed and said he did. Then l told him
what a fine girl she evidently was
and promised to take him to a show
that night. l asked him which show

that, his mind was of the tight place

And right there you have an IN
sight into the kind of manager
the Detroit Tigers have. He Is a
player who has been through the
mill and retains a complete under
standing of the player who tolls for
and with him. And he Is playing
ball with his team. too, to the very
best of his wonderful ability.

But Cobb. early success is not due
wholly to rules of conduct laid down
for his players. Wise followers of
the game and the Tigers here say
that Ty's success Is coming largely
because he understands the ball play
err inside and out. We heard an ex-
cellent anecdote tending to show this.

the Indians this spring and got into

the location of the plate and was
rapidly filling the corners. The IN.

 Nakoka had been shadowing the premier seeking a chance to stab him for some time He always met with failure, however, owing to the strict police guard.
