Houston was a Virginian who hat
entered the army and risen to the rank
of ensign at the outbreak of the Creel
war in 1913. Gen. Andrew Jackson
"Old Hickory" had taken the felt

of battles in which the Indians were
defeated, they made a last stand a.

During the assault on this fort, 8

Calling to a soldier, Houston com
manded him to extract the shaft.
Twice the man tried and failed, then

he saw the unspeakable torture he
was causing.

JEDEDIAH STRONG SMITH, THE
AMERICAN ULYSSES

This is a story of modern Ulysses,
frontier hero of many wanderings,
who died without receiving the fame
which was his due, a man whose serv-
ice to America has been but lately
appreciated by his countrymen. Jede-
diah 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
1893. AS boy he played with the
young Seneca Indians of Chief Corn
planters tribe, and learned their lore
He became an expert with the bow
and arrow, which he afterward car
ried on all of his expeditions. Once
he brought down hawk flying about
75 yards above him, and he could
drive a shaft to the heart of a 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 it midway from
the Rockies to the Pacific, and he
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 the day
and proved of inestimable value to
later explorers.
Smiths death was heroic In 1881
he was guiding a 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 by
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 a
while, they succeeded in frightening
Smiths horse. AS it turned, they shot
at the scout with arrows, woundine
him in the arm. Smith wheeled about
shot the chief dead with his rifle and
killed two more savages with his pis-
tolls. Then grasping his ak, the scout
dashed into their midst. They cut
him down with their lances, but when
they approached TO scalp him, Smith
rose up again and stabbed three of
them with his knife. Then he dropped
dead. The Indians afterward admit
ted that he had killed 13 of their party
before he died!

Happiness.

Blessed, or happy, is the man whose
transgression is forgiven, whose sin is
covered. Happiness after all does not
depend on outward circumstances. al
though most people seem to think that
it does. But there are poor people
who are happy, and there are very
many rich people who are miserable.
Happiness is a product of the spirit,
and you will find it only in the lives
of people of faith, people whose con-
science is at peace with God.

'cThe hull structure Is, in general
principles, Of standard type such as
used In Zeppelin airships and in
earlier British types, but a very con-
siderable saving Of structural weight
has been effected by large number Of
improvements In details"
This excerpt from the official British
description Of the ZR-2 seems to ex-
plain the disaster which befell the
giant dirigible while on Its trial trip
last Wednesday. The saving Of struc-
tural weight was effected at the ex-
pense Of the entire airship and the
lives Of 48 Of the men who manned
her. According to survivors, an alb
Tupt change Of direction when the ves-
sci was above Hull strained the frame
work beyond its strength. 1t broke in
two In the middle and fell into the
Humber river with terrific explosions.
Included In the dead were Commander
Louis H. Maxfieid and 10 more OF the
American crew which was to bring the
airship to the United States, and
British Air Commodore 1. M. Maitland
and % Of the English crew. Only one
American, AZ rgger, was among the
survivors.
ZR-2 was the largest airship ever
constructed and was built by the Brit
ish government for the United States
navy. The price was to be $4,000, 900.
OF course, as she had not yet been
turned over to the Americans the
financial loss does not fall on the Amer
team government. The catastrophe was
not a great surprise to those In Eng
land who had watched the building
and tests Of the airship. On several
preliminary trials defects and weak
nesses were uncovered, and the final
trial flight which ended so disastrously
had been postponed repeatedly though
the weather seemed entirely favorable
It Is said that enlisted men Of the
British air service stationed at How
den had offered to bet ten to one that
the dirigible never would get across
the Atlantic; that they declared it was
structurally weak, and impossibly
large, with unreliable engines and a
framework incapable of standing the
strain of its own 33 tons of dead
weight while in the air.
News of the disaster reached Wash
lngton while congressional commit
tee was listening to arguments In
favor Of an appropriation for the COM
pletien Of ZR-1, an American-built
companion ship Of the ZR-2, on which
more than a million dollars already
has been expended. officers Of the
