The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XXIX.-IOWA
- THE State
M%s5AAg3|SM was originally
Ee8 lsM occupied by
e=SS-.22lkLIJ- the Iowa In
Wv 4SHz3SHZW dams. The ac-
W%gEwW tual meaning
~~ of the word
has been interpreted in several
ways. Some say it means "beau-
tiful land" but the more likely
derivation is the Algonquin word
"ajawa" which means across"
or beyond" This vas probably
applied to this tribe of Indians
by the Illinois tribes who were
hostile to them, and resided on
the eastern side of the Missis-
sippi river. The early white Wis
itors to this region included Mar
quette and Joliet, who landed
here on their explorations Of the
Mississippi In 1873.
The first settlement was made
by a French Canadian named
Julian Dubuque. He obtained
in 1888 a large grant of land
from the Indians, where the
city which was named after him
now stands. Here he fourished,
mining lead and trading with the
Indians, until his death In 1910,
when this settlement was given
up.
With the acquisition of the
Louisiana Purchase In 1903.
Iowa, which was a part of this
huge territory, came into the
hands of the United States from
France. At first Iowa was a
part of the Louisiana territory,
then of Missouri territory. Later
it formed a portion of Michigan
territory and then of Wisconsin
territory. In 1888, however, it
attained q distinct individuality
when 1t was formed Into the
Iowa territory.
Pioneers soon came In large
numbers and about 1882 a sub
stantial settlement was made
near Burlington, and Dubuque
was founded In 1888. The popu-
lation grew so rapidly that in
1916 Iowa was admitted as the
twenty-ninth state of the Union.
Its area Is 56,147 square miles
and it has thirteen presidential
electoral votes.
Iowa Is familarly called the
Hawkeye State.

MAJOR SAM MeCULLOUGH'S
LEAP FOR LIFE

Fort Henry was a little stockade
built for the protection ofsthe settlers
Of West Virginia against the British
and Indians during the War of the
Revolution. 1t stood on the Ohio
river ear the present site Of Wheel
ing. In the summer of 1777 when 1t
was besieged by a strong force Of saw
ages, Maj. Sam Mccullough, a noted
border leader, left Fort Pitt at the
head of 40 men to raise the siege.
Coming In sight of the fort, McCul-
lough'S men made q dash for the gates
and passed through them In safety, al
though the Indians made a desperate
effort to cut them off. Major McCul-
Tough held back to the retreat
of his men until they were safely with
in its walls and delayed sc long that
the redskins succeeded in getting be-
tween him and the fort.
Setting spurs to his horse, the
ranger leader dashed for a hill back
of the fort. At it's top he met another
band of Indians and at the same time
a third group approached him from
another direction. The Indians were
now on three sides of him. On the
other was a high precipice projecting
over Wheeling creek, 300 feet below.
The ranger was cornered.
The Indians raised a yell of triumph
as they closed in on him. But when
they saw Mccullough turn his horse
toward the cliff, they stopped in
amazement.
Urging his horse to a dead run, the
scout dashed toward the precipice. At
the brink of the chasm he drove home
the spurs and as his mount flew into
the air braced himself In the saddle.
The first leap was a clear drop of 80
feet, but both horse and rider were
uninjured as they landed on the steep
bank. Then slipping and sliding for
$50 feet more, they came to the creek
bottom.
As the Indians rushed to the edge
of the precipice expecting to see the
crushed forms Of horse and man far
below, they were astonished at the
sight of the major, still upright in the
saddle, plunging into the creek and
riding up the other side to safety.
Within a few hours he was back at
Fort Pitt, organizing a larger expedi-
ton to march to Fort Henry.
Five years later as Major McCul-
Tough and his brother were riding
along a road near Van Metres fort,
unsuspecting danger, they rode direct
ly into an Indian ambush. This time
M~cCullough's Workmanship could do
him no good. A dozen Indian rifle
shots rang out and Sam Mccullough
fell dead.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1921.

Most of the quarrels between neigh
bors GROW out of resentment over
something or other. And how they DO
grow. A queer cipher. that resent
ment' thing. We don't fling resent
ment at the north blast when it frosts
our noses. We don't hand resentment
to ourselves when we stumble and
break our arm. We don't turn resent
ment on a machine when it slices a
finger off. But let a plain, errorful hui
man being, like ourselves, say or do
something that doesn't touch the right
side of us and we hurl our resentment
at him. If the world cut out resent
ment altogether-but it would take a
book to tell the good things that would
come to this old earth in hal event.

Good Manners a Business Asset.

The teaching of good manners in
the public schools is being agitated
In the state OF New York by DIR. John
Ii. Finley, state commissioner of edu-
cation.
Good manners" he declares, mot
only lead to added friendships, social
standing and progress in business, not
only are one of the keys to the gates
of wealth, but practice in manners is
the most valuable kind of spiritual dis
cipline."
Doctor Finley goes on to explain
that training in good manners has en-
abled more than one person to retain
his self-control in a trying situation.
"And self-control," he says, "ls the
edge you have on the other fellow"

Substitute for Cork.

A chemical works at Bruenn-KOe-
nigsfeld has been carrying on expert
ments with a view to finding q substi-
tute for cork, says a Prague CORE
spondent in the Times Trade Supple
ment, and these have now led to tan
gible results. Turf treated by a spe-
cial patented process furnishes a ma
terial for insulation and building pur-
poses that is said to be, in most re-
spects, not inferior, and in some supe-
rior, to cork. The product is reported
to be equally light, firm, and sound
proof, to possess great insulating prop
critics, and to be damp-proof.

cup.
OF flew the messenger, twitterine
with Joy and pride. But when 1t was
far north 1t saw a bit of bright blue
high in the air. That was where the
blue sky, impatlently waiting for the
deliverance of the sad old King, had
torn away Just tiny corner Of cloud
and was looking down slyly.
ooh, beautiful sky" cried the little
bird. II know that I should not stop,
but l must look at you and sing just
moment"
And It sang. The green cup fell to
earth, and became blue as the sky.
So did the little bird. That is why
the bluebirds always come ahead Of
Spring now and why the iris Is so
blue and beautiful early in the year.
There is none left now, little
Spring, to bear the great message"
said the Sun sadly. "There is none
left now, and the old King must live
on and rule the world"

Your said the Sun. "You are
weak and not brave and strong like
the man, or mighty like white tiger,
or swift like the eagle. What could
you do, when they have failed%
Let her try" said Spring. And
she formed another green cup and
kissed II and gave II to woman.
Woman departed full Of fear. She
did not run like the man or sing like
the bird. But, since she was afraid
and humble, she prayed.
Weeping and bleeding, she came al
last to the palace where the sad, old
white King sat waiting. And when
the woman appeared In the portals
with the green cup, all the gray geese
and the white ermines set up CRY
that echoed through the world. II
was like glaciers rolling headlong into
the sounding sea; It was like ava.
lanches shivering below; 1t was like
the southern storms that break the
ice; 1t was like grinding bergs and
shattering foes.
That is the cry that rings around
the world every year now, and when
men hear 1t they say: "Winter is
breaking up"
The old white King arose with q
glad face and reached his wrinkled
hand out for the green cup. He
pressed 1t to his face and inhaled the
smell Of the growing thing. And in
moment It turned white-snow
white.
So the Easter lily became white.

Swift and straight the gray geese
drove their great wedges to the south,
where the green plant stood. There
sat a girl, beautiful and gentle, with
bright hair, and eyes that were the
only blue thing In all the world, for
the sky was not blue then, but gray
and dark.
Clamoring from the mighty threats
rose the message Of the sad old King,
waiting for his deliverance in the dim

toward the north. His heart leaped
within him and his soul was full Of the
pride of his errand. He ran far and
fast But when he reached Asia, and
climbed among the bearded mountains,
deep In the holes where there was no
snow he saw CLEANS Of yellow.
"What Is this strange color In the
white worldT said the man. He
stopped and looked. And then he
went little nearer. And almost be-
fore he knew 1t, he had rhe yellow
things In his hands. At once his green
cup turned bright yellow and he cried
out in amazement and fear. Then he
saw that his hands were yellow, too.
And he knew that he could not bear
the great message.
SO he stayed In the mountains with
the yellow things, which were grains
Of gold. And ever since then he will
forget a great message at times when
he sees the yellow gold in the earth.
When man did not return, the Sun
said: make another cup, little Spring,
and send 1t by white tiger. He is
strong and fierce and will speed for
you"
White tiger took the green cup and
bounded away full Of pride. But he
had not gone far before a white deer
sprang heedlessly into him. "H0w
dare you run into meT cried white
tiger. do you not know that l am
the bearer of the great message" And
with one blow Of his white paw he
struck the little deer dead.
Instantly its blood dyed his green
cup red; and white tiger, knowing
that he could not bear the great mes
sage, fell down and rolled around in
anguish. That IL why the tiger is
striped red now. And the red lilies
are called tiger lilies. because they look
like him.
LET me bear the great message 7"
cried the eagle when white tiger
failed TO return. II am greater than
the gray geese and swifter than the
tiger and drawer than man."
Eagle fed, screaming defiantly, with
the green cup In his fierce beak. For
a while he swept faster than the wind :
but all at once, far below him, he saw
swamp and beasts creeping into II
for the night. Then he could not mas.
ter his impulse to stoop for prey. Out
of his beak fell the green cup, un-
needed. And to this day, the swamps
are full of great fieshy green stems
but never can bear anything except
the strange brown things that we call
cat tails. And the eagles sit gloomily
on dead trees and watch the swamps
over since.
