Rubbish Fires

The unusual dryness Of the fall
season necessitates great care in
starting fires St. Johnsbury has
had one sad result in the confla-
grafton at the Fair Ground and can
i'll afford another. About this time
it is the common practice to burn
the leaves and garden rubbish
about the home, but far better
spend a little money and have the
stuffed carried away than take the
chance of destroying property. In
addition to the danger from fires
the burning of leaves and garden
stuff always creates smudge that
is distressing to the eyes and lungs

Hitchcock describes the young ladies
who furnish the dazzling background
for the various ensemble numbers in
the second edition of Hitchy-koo, the
musical comedy revue which is to be
seen at the Washington theatre, Feb.
81.
Mr. Hitchcock is of the opinion that
exact figures are what the public
which supports the theatre, has right
to demand.
And so, of course, We'll stick to the
figures" said Hitchcock one day re-

JEDEDIAH STRONG SMITH, THE
AMERICAN ULYSSES

This Is story of modern Ulysses,
a frontier hero Of many wanderings,
who died without receiving the fame
which was his due, man whose serv-
Ice to America has been but lately
appreciated by his countrymen. Jede-
dlah Strong Smith was his name, and
his contribution to history was the
first accurate mapping of the great
West.
Smith was born In New York In
1899. As boy he played with the
young Seneca Indians of Chief Corn
planters tribe, and learned their lore
He became an expert with the DO
and arrow, which he afterward car
ried on all Of his expeditions. Once
he brought down hawk flying about
rs yards above him, and he could
drive shaft to the heart of buff
falo as skillfully as any Indian hunter.
In years Of wandering Smith
crossed the western country ON the
south from the Colorado river to the
Pacific; he crossed 1t midway from
the Rockies to the Pacific, and he
traversed 1t on the north from Cali
fornia to the Rockies. He visited all
the important streams from Arizona
to the Yellowstone country. and he
made accurate notes of all he saw.
This information was used In correct
ing the unreliable maps of tie dav
and proved of inestimable value 80
later explorers.
Smiths death was heroic. In 1881
he was guiding wagon train over
the Santa Fe trail. The train had TAX
EN- a short cut around the head of the
Cimarron river and soon was lost IN
desert country. Water must be
found at once. Smith set out In search
of stream. and finally reached one.
While drinking, he was surrounded nv
a band of Comanches, who determined
TO have the white mans gun.
The Indians signaled peace, and af.
ter talking in the sign language for n
while, they succeeded In frightening

tory, but for iron nerve and pure grit
Sam Houston was the peer OF them all
Perhaps he inherited his fOrtitude
from his father, who was soldier
In the Revolution; perhaps during his
long stay among the Cherokee Indi.
aAs he learned that a warrior bears
pain without fiInching.
Houston was a Virginian who had
entered the army and risen to the ranb
of ensign at the outbreak of the Creeh
war In 1918. Gen. Andrew Jackson
"Old Hickory had taken the tielc
against the Creeks and, after series
of battles In which the Indians were
defeated, they made a last staLd at
their fortified encampment, Tohopeka,
In the Great Horseshoe bend Of the
Tallapoosa river, Ala.
During the assault on this fort, a
barbed arrow struck Houston In the
thigh. He tried to pull 1t out, but
failed. The agony was frightful.
Calling to soldier, Houston com
manded him to extract the shaft.
Twice the man tried and failed, then
begged to be relieved of the task when
he saw the unspeakable torture he
was causing.
TRY again." commanded Houston.
sand If you fail, I'll run you through
with my sword !"
The third attempt was successful,
and as the barbed shaft was torn
from the flesh, 1t was followed by a
guSh of blood. General Jackson, see
ing Houston's wound, ordered him to
the rear. The young ensign waited
until Jackson had passed on, had
surgeon bind up the wound, and in a
few minutes he was back in the thick
Of the fighting.
The high peak in Houston's adven-
turobs life came in 1886 when, at the
head Of little army of 800 Texans,
with the battle cry of Remember the
Alamo" on their lips, he defeated the
hordes Of Santa Anna, the Mexican
dictator, at San Jacinto, and won free
dom for Texas. He was elected first
president of the Lone Star republic.
At the outbreak of the Civil war,
Houston, who was governor of Texas,
was bitterly opposed to the secession
OF that state from the Union. The
Confederates forced him to resign.
They required all men over sixteen to
register and to carry pass while
travelling Houston refused to do
either. Once they stopped him and
demanded his pass. "San Jaclnto is
my pass through Texas" Numbered
the brave old man as he rode on.
Houston died at his home in Huntls
vile July 26, 1868, with the name of
Texas on his lips.
