HOW KIT CARSON FOUGHT A
DUEL AID WON A WIFE
q. western NewspaIser union.

The Green River country in Wyom-
ing was a famous rendezvous for trap
pers in the old days, and IN 1885 many
of them were gathered there. One was
Captain Sbunar, French bully, who
had aroused the anger Of several of the
American trappers by his offensive
manner toward young Aranaho girl
IN camp nearby. The gErl feared
the Frenchman and appealed for pro-
lection TO young trapper named XII
Carson.
Learning OF this ShUnar in nm effort
10 bring about quarrel With Carson,
rode about the camp one day carrying
loaded rife and declaring that all
Americans were towards, deserving
only a whipping with hickory switch.
At last Carson faced the Frenchman.
Il am an American, and II you are
determined to die. l am your man."
he said. The Frcuchnsan hesitated
at this defiance.
Lcaping to his horse, his pistol in
hand, Carson demanded Of Shunar:
Am the man you are looking for?'
NO" replied Shunar, but he raised
| his arm to shoot.
The two men fired at the same time.
The Frenchman's bullet grazed Car.
sons scalp and the powder burned his
face. The Americans shot shattered
Shunar's forearm and he died from
the effects OF the wound soon after
wards.
Carson came to love the Indian
girl he had befriended, and later they
we're married by the Indian ceremony.
IN 1888 she became his wife In a
Christian marriage,
Kit Carson was one Of the most ro-
mantle figures in frontier history.
Born in Kentucky in 1909, he ran
away from home and Joined cara
van on the Santa Fe tran. From 1929
to 1S43 he was trappcr and trader
In the Rockies. Then he guided Cen
eral Fremont TO the Great Salt Lake
and California, and was scout for

Carson was an Indian fighter, too

whipped the Kiowas and Comanches
at the first great hattie fought at
the Adobe Walls. Then in HIS later
years he became an Indian agent, and
the red men who had once fought him
learned to love him and to call him

Finally the old scout settled down
in his home in Taos, N NJ. In 1858
he went to Fort Lyon. Colo, to visit
his son. There he fell Ill and died

CHRISTMAS SEALS.
Money to Be used to Fight Tubereulo-
sis In State and Nation.

This Is the cut OF the Christmas
Seal to be used this fall to raise
money to fight tuberculosis. The plan
OF raising money for anti tuberculosis
work by means OF selling one cent
Christmas Seal was first tried four
teen years ago by the American Red
Cross. At that time about 10000
seals were sold which meant contri.
button of three thousand dollars. From
this small beginning the sale of seals
have increased each year until III
1920 over 1854 mill on seals were sold
which meant over $3640.000 for tn.
beTculosis work.
Two years ago the American Red
Cross relinQuished the sale OF the
Christmas Seals TO the National Tu-
berculosis Association aud its affili
ated associat ons in every state In the
union. A So result the seals are not
designated as formerly Red Gross
Seals but merely Christmas Seals, the
proceeds however are used for the
same purpose as formerly
In Vermont the seal sale is In
charge OF the Vermont tuberculosis
Association and all but five percent
of the net receipts. which is sent to
the National Tuberculosis Association
is used in Vermont.
The sale has been conducted largely
by school children under the super
vision Of teachers, women's clubs and
other interested persons Last year
little over eight thousand dollars
was raised in Vermont by the sale OF
the Christmas Seals. This year the
association will endeavor to raise ten
thousand dollars. The proceeds will
be used for the children at the Pre-
yentorium. the expenses OF the Mod
ern Health Crusade, the district tu
berculosis nurses and clinics and the
health educational work, all under the
supervis on OF the Vermont Tubercu
losis Association.

\SS,sss:lsI;;s.aT Custer Mas
$50 sacre as one
OF the most dramatic Incidents
in Indian warfare. 1t occurred
in 1876, the Centennial year,
when special emphasis was be-
ing laid on the cause Of peace
throughout the world. The
Sioux Indians had been driven
into Montana by the gold miners,
and the United States govern
ment took steps TO force them
back into their reservations. Cen
eral Custer, with less than 800
men, set out to round up the
tribes which were on the war
path, and ut the Little BIghorn
river, was ambushed by Sitting
Bull md 5000 warriors. Custer
and all his troopers were killed.
Soon after this massacre the In
dians were defeated and many
OF them fed to Canada.
Gold was discovered In Mon
t0na as early as 1852 by the half
breed Francois Flnlay near Hell
Gate river. This. however, Gre
ated little stir and 1t wasn't un-
til Ave years later when John
Silyerthorn discovered gold In
quantities, that mining settle
mentS spraDg up in the noun
talns. This region had been part
of Nebraska territory, which In
1868 was subdIvided and became
a portion of Idaho territory. The
next year It was organized az
The separate Territory OF Mon
tana.
Virginia City was the capital
and here in 1865 was issued the
Montans Post, the first newspa-
per Of the state. In 1874 the
capital was changed to Helena
and ten years later a state con-
stitGtion was adopted, The state
was not taken into the Union,
however, until 1889.
Montana comes from the Span
ish adjective meaning ''monn-
iainous,' Its area is i46,996
square miles, making II the third
largest state OF the Union.

Useless Waste.

VI all causes of food waste the
most unnecessary and inexcusable is
burning. Yet an enormous amount
or rood must be destroyed through
carelessness of this sort. If every
household burned as many slices
OF toast as yours do. scorched as
much In cooking generally as yours,
wouldn't it amount to quite a little in
the course of the year? Many per-
sons seem to feel that there is more
excuse for burning things on a gas
stove than on a, coal stove. But this
is not so. Once you know the ma
ture OF gas stove cookery YOU
should be as free from this sort of
misfortune as the housewife who
uses a coal stove.
The double boiler is the greatest
aid to the housewife in preventing
burning or scorching of food that
has ever been invented. The trouble
is that we SO frequently seek to gain
time by putting the saucepan di-
rectly over the hot gas flame 1t is
a safe rule to make that anything

In fact, many doctors claim that
early wrinkles are avoided if the

1 cannot vouch for this except to say
that anything which improves the
health tends to keep one young for

decay.
A good plan is to drink one glass

With the Future in View.

1t is true of almost every woman
before she has really finished settling
in the new house she is making plans
for ways in which she might add to
and improve it.
In her minds eye she sees the porch
inclosed. bay windows thrown out
here or there. additional bathrooms.
extensions on the kitchen to provide
for a servants dining room. even
when in the present state of affairs
there are no servants at all
Much of this is day dreaming, per-
haps. Still almost every house does
at some time or other stand to have
additions built upon it and often
builders would cling to the old house
longer when need comes for larger
quarters if it had been SO built that
additions were practicable.
Perhaps you need an extra bedroom
above stairs, but your house is SO
planned that there is nowhere that
an extra bedroom might be built and
still be accessible to the hall. You
may have built SO near to one side
of your lot that the room you would
like to throw out at that side Is out Of
the question.
Not long ago John and Mary Smith,
just married. young but eager to set
tie in their own home, in spite of the
high cost Of building at the present
time, proposed to the builder they
had selected to draw up plans for a
nine-room house such as they would
like and then to draw plans for the
six essential rooms of that house as
they might be built to begin with.
The task was not altogether easy, for
the six-room house had to appear to
all intents and purposes quite COM
plete. The idea was that the Smiths
wanted to have a house that could
be added to as their capital increased
with the least possible expense and
trouble.

Much bread is lost in burning toast.
and the gas oven is often responsible
for this. When bread is toasted on
the coal or wood fire it is in sight
and reminds us constantly Of it's
presence. but in the gas oven it is
lost to sight and too often it is a
scent of burned bread that reminds
us too late that theAtoast is turning
