DIR. w. F. CARVER, evil SPIRIT
OF THE PLAINS"

One day back in the sixties a trap
through the woods near Cedar Noun
tain, in Wyoming. Suddenly from
clump Of bushes nearby shot rang
out, followed in quick succession by
three more. The trapper dropped
quickly to the ground and rolled be-
hind a log, unhurt. Then he waited
for the next move of the Indians who
had ambushed him.
In few minutes a war bonnet APP
peared above a log short distance
away. The trapper was not deceived,
for this was an old Indian trick.
However, the trapper had a better
trick than this up his sleeve. His
rifle was not a single shot, for after
a winter of successful trapping he had
sold his furS in St. Louis and had
bought repeating rifle, one of the
first to be carried in the Rocky noun
tains He had this weapon now, and
he Immediately fired as the Indians
were hoping he would do.
AS he fired four Indians sprang from
the bush and with wild yells of trI-
umph rushed for the trapper. With
out removing his gun from his Shout
der, the white man pumped bullets at
OncOmng warriors as fast as he could
work the lever.
Three of the Indians dropped in
their tracks, and the fourth, with
howl Of dismay, turned and fled at top
speed, followed by several bullets,
which the trapper sent after him to
encourage the fleeing redskin. When
the surviving warrior arrived in his
village he told a marvellous tale of an
encounter with white man who had
medicine gun" which never stopped
shooting and killing.
In this way DR.. w. f. Carver, the
trapper who had been ambushed, won
the name Of "The Evil Spirit of the
Plains" for the Indians learned to
fear him and his medicine gun as they
did no other trapper who invaded their
hunting grounds. When the trapping
days ended, DR.. Carver became a scout
and guide for the United States army,
and during the Sioux war of 1S76-77
he made the acquaintance of Buffalo
Bill' Cody.
The two scouts became fast friends.
When Buffalo Bits Wild West show
was organized Carver Joined it as
sharpshooter. He could handle a rifle
or pistol almost as skllfully as Cody
himself, and for many years the two
scouts appeared in the arena together.

little to one side, in her mothers
manner, of pOliteness to callers, and,
repeating her deprecatory laugh, re-

"What is, Florence?" Noble inquired
absently.
"Well-what l was saying was that

She looked up at him with a bright
readiness to respond modestly to
whatever exclamation his wonder
should dictate; but Mobiles attention
had struggled again. He failed to
comprehend what she had set before
him.

Noble had but a confused notion
of what she thus generally promised.
However, he said, THANK YOU" and
nodded vaguely.

Stories Of

BEN CLARK, WHOM THE INDI-
ANS CALLED "MI-E NO-TO-WAH."

When General Clusters Fighting
Seventh charged down upon Chief
Black Kettles Cheyennes on the
WaShita to the tune of "Garryowen"
that cold November morning in 1868,
at his side rode man whom the In
dians recognized, and they shouted to
each other Look out for Red Neck
He's dead shot!"
Clark played an important part in
Clusters campaigns that year, but his
most valuable services were performed
as a scout for Gen. Nelson Miles in
the war with the Cheyennes, Arapa-
hoes, COmanches and KiOwaS in 1874.
His greatest feat was his part in the
rescue of the Germaine sisters, two
little white girls who had been cap
tured when their parents we're muir
dered by raiding Cheyennes in their
Kansas home.
Two of the girls, Adelaide and Julia
Germaine, were recaptured from the
Cheyennes when Lieut. Frank Bald

WARM SPRING WEATHER
MUSTER TO WEATHER MAN

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Causes
underlying the unusually warm wea-
Their of early spring this year remain
a mystery to weather bureau officials.
But reports show. they say, that
March was one of the warmest In
the history of the country, breaking
all known records for high tempera-
lures at some Weather Bureau sta
lions in the East.
One contributing reason for the
high March record, they stated, was
the succession of bright clear days.
during a month when blustery winds.
clouds and storms usually prevail.
But what caused this succession of
bright clear days, the Climatologi-
cal division is unable to determine.
One cause of usual cold March
weather is said to be the sharp diff
ference frequently prevailing in ba-
rometric pressure. This feature evil
IDENTIFY was missing this season., al
though complete records had not as
yet been compiled. Cold weather Of
ten resulted, it was said. from a high
barometric pressure in the colder
regions of the north which created
an air hill" down which cold air
poured like water running downhill,
upon the United States.
During the cold winter of 1917
IS, it was pointed out, air pressures
were extremely high in Alaska,
building up a "hill' from which
slid icy winds from the snow fields,
bringing one OF Americas coolest
winters.
Vegetation this March advanced
far beyond its usual growth and
throughout the fruit regions, OF the
middle west and southeast a short
freeze nipped many buds. causing
what was thought at first to be dis.
astrous damage of far-reaching pro-
portions. Later inspection of the
trees. however, 1t was reported,
showed that the frost had not dam
aged fruit to such an appreciate ex-
tent.
Although January and February
also. were warn throughout much of
the middle west and east, they were
record breaking in no sense of the
word, the Weather Bureau reporting
many warmer winters.
The Far West winter. as indicated
by San Francisco reports was not
unusual December and February be-
ing slightly warmer, with January
than normal.

NEW YORK, April 22-Sweeping
changes in the course Of study of
instance less technical grammar
fewer history dates and new geogra-
ply are badly needed in the opinion
of the New York Principal Associa-
ton.
Recommendations of the ~associa-
ton passed at it's recent annual
meeting, point out in detail why al
terations in almost every subject
of the school curriculum are urged.
1t takes this stand on the subject
Of history.
'The focus should be placed COR
rectly. Our histories should be re-
vised by reducing the detail of the
earlier epochs, and emphasizing the
topics of mor vital importance to
modern situations"
point out, should be taught to fifth
year classes, as supplementary
reading rather than as history. In
other grades "the study of explor-
ers and leaders should be limited
to a smaller number of selected
characters"
There should be no detailed
study of war" the principals assert
"only general clauses, trend of
struggle and the leaders who af-
fected the results"
Elimination of the number Of
dates within a cycle also is pro-
posed for example ut Is sufficient
to know the dates of the beginning
and the end of the Revolutionary
war but 1t Is not necessary to mem
orize n date within that period"
Important elements Of European
history bearing rather directly on
United States history should be
specified, the teachers believe, as
the text books available contain
nsuch a mass of information that Is
not relevant" History should be
treated as the social environment
of man, with less stress on h dates

VERMONTs ADVANTAGES.

Fred NJ Kimball of Redlands, Cali
fornia, writes a letter to the Orleans
County Monitor concerning Vermont
that should be placed before all the peo-
pie of the state. He first deplores the
loss in population in Vermont and gives
three causes of it as follows:
First. the young men and women of
Vermont leave home to seek greater OPP
portunitieS in the big cities and the
West, where thousands only meet dis
appointment. There is as great n per
cent of poor people throughout the West
and on the Pacific coast as could ever
be- found in Vermont and much greater
poverty in the large cities. Secondly,
they leave to escape the rigOrs of a YER
mont winter, and that is more of a de
fusion than otherwise. The likes and
dslikeS of climatic conditions are large
~ Il matter of choice. On the blizzard
swept plains of Kansas and throughout
the Northwest there is even greater suf-
fering in winter than ever experienced
irb Vermont. The third reason, and the
most serious of all, is that the boys and
girls of Vermont are not sufficiently en-
cOuraged to remain at home, and in that
loss the responsibility rests with the par
entS Vermont is capable. UNI
der improved husbandry, of easily SuS-
tanning population of a million. YER
mont has easy access TO large markets
with short haulS for all her products
and can thus take advantage of good
markets, while in the West and on the
Pacific coast farmers and ranchers have
long hauls for their products with no
assurance of good markets when reached,
as it takes month to get there
After telling the discouragements in
other sections of the country he adds:
To the boys and girls of Vermont l
would say: Don't leave home expecting
to find elsewhere soft jobs or easy roads
to success. You will never be able to
pick silver dollars from bushes. Success
can only be attained by hard, persistent
effort and that can be realized in Yer
mont as well as anywhere else. and per-
haps better. No other 10000 square
miles of territory anywhere within the
bounds of our civilization has such an
abundance of available water power as
Vermont, now idly running to the sea.
And there is enough Vermont money
now loaned on farms in the West or in
vested otherwise outside the state or ly-
ing idle in our banks to install manu-
featuring plant of large capacity in every
county in Vermont, thus giving employ
ment to thousands of Vermant boys and
girls
Mr.. Kimball's claims for Vermont are
IuItHeF CoHLTIheu Dy the OhIIeu STATES
Crop Reporter which shows that in 1920
Vermont has the largest yield per acre
of corn at bushels) of any state in the
union, that it ranks 10th in the value of
oats per acre, second in the yield of rye,
eighth in the yield of spring wheat per
acre, eighth in the value of barley per
acre, second in the yield of buckwheat
per acre, and ninth in the yield of po-
tatoes per acre. This is the official rat
ing of Vermont as a crop-producing state
and should be spread broadcast through
out the state that Vermonters may APP
preciate better the advantages they have
ut home.

SAVINGS VERSUS HARD TIMES,

1t was happy coincidence that
Thrift Week" saw government bonds
rise to the highest point in months. And
it was more than a mere coincidence.
Somebody recalls a remark made by the
secretary of the treasury more than a
year ago:
The only way to protect the price of
government bonds il to teach the people
to save, SO that they may become true
investors in the bonds.'
The people saved but they did not
save enough. Too many of them sold
the bonds they had bought during the
war, instead of keeping them and be-
coming true investors and that forced
the--priees= dewns--Their- failure to save
as much as they might have saved re-
suited in lack of available capital Just
