DANIEL BOONE. THE GREAT
KENTUCKIAN

Daniel Boone was the son of Quaker
parents who lived in Pennsylvania. Al
though the principal doctrine in the
Quaker creed Is that man must not
kill, Daniel departed from the faith Of
his fathers early and he became one
of the greatest Indian fighters in
American history.
When Boone was eighteen his par
ents moved to North Carolina and in
the Yadkin valley OF that state, young
Boone became an expert woodsman
and hunter. Attracted by the tales of
hunter who had crossed the Appa-
lachlans into the unknown Kentucky
country, Boone visited the Blue Grass
state several times until he. finally de-
elded to make that country his home.
In 1T75 he established Boonesborough,
the first outpost Of civilization in the
Dark and Bloody Ground" as Ken
lucky was called because 1t was bat
tleground for many tribes Of Indians.
Boones adventures with the Indians
in his new home were innumerable In

nees. who admired the scouts courage
so much that he was not put to death.
Instead Chief Black Fish adopted him,
giving him the name OF Big Turtle
rather an Inappropriate title for man
so active. Boone pretended to be we'll
pleased with his captivity and after
several months the watchhllness Of
the sayages relaxed. Then he made
| his escape.
Several years later this same band
! of Shawnees came TO Boonesb0rOugh
to kidnap their former captive. They
| found Boone In little shaDty used

NOW Boone, we got YOU" said the
Indians. "You no get away this time"
ayes, you have me but am glad to
60 with YOU" replied the scout, "but l
want my friends TO have some OF this
| tobacco"
He gathered up number OF the
dryest leaves and, unseen by the In
dams, crushed them In his hands. Be-
fore they could move. he threw the
powdered tobacco into their eyes. AS
the blinded sayages rolled on the floor
bowling and digging at their eyes, the
former big T1rtlep showed urex-
pected speed and was far MP the trail
to the fort before they could pursue
him.
In his later years Boone was cheat
ed out Of the rich Kentucky lands he
had fought so hard to win and he NIL

once more. He died there In 1870 at
The age OF eighty-six. A quarter of a
century later Kentucky pnld him be.

SIMON KENYON, THE AMERI.
CAN MAZEPPA

Second only to the name Of Daniel
Boone-whose life he once saved--is
written In the annals of Kentucky the
name Of Simon Kenton. Kcnton was
virgnlan who served as scout In
Lord Dunmores war shortly before
the outbreak Of the Revolution and
who crossed over the mountains into
the Dark and Bloody Ground Of Ken.
lucky in search of adventure. His cx-
plOits there soon won for him the UNI
diving hatred of the Indians and no
less than eight times he was captured
by them and sentenced to death.
In ITS kenton with two compan-
ions went north into Ohio to spy upon
tribe at war with the whites. While
returning, they came upon a herd OF
Indian horses. The kentuckians re-
solved to take some OF the animals
along as trophies of the successful ex-
pedition. The Indians quickly discov-
cred the theft and overlook the scouts
Just before they crossed the Ohio
river.
One Of the Kcntuckians was killed,
another escaped but kenton was taken
prisoner.
"You steal Injun hoss?" they taunt-
ed him. "All right, we give you ride
on him."
SO they tied the scout on a Wild
Young horse and get it free in the for.
est He finally VAS taken from the
horses back more dead than nlive.
At the first village the Indians
reached, they condemned the scout to
run the gantlet. When the signal was
given, Kenton sprang through the line
of warriors. armed with clubs and
ratchets, and reached the council
house, his goal, almost untouched.
Near Zanesheld preparations were
made 10 burn him at the stake, hut the
arrival of Simon Girty, the white
renegade" who recognized Kenton as
mn old friend, saved him.
His freedom was Short-lived. Three
weeks later the Indians again voted
to put him to death. Again he was
saved by fliend--Chief Logan, the
noted orator Of the. Cayugas. When
the Sandsky towns were reached, the
Indians held council and once more
iecreed the death penalty. Kenton
vas tied 10 the stake, Just MS the
torch was being applied. a British Of
hcer appeared and demanded the sur.
render of their prisoner TO his COM
mander AT Detroit
Kenton was kept captive in Detroit
until 1870, when through the aid OF am
Indian traders wife he escaped to
kentucky where he died in 1880.

Power In Silence.

The proper value Of the power ~
silence Is probably best expressed IN
the Scriptural reference to the vario;is
commissions of nature, the wind aud
the earthquake, followed by the still,
small voice. Coming down to a more
recent period and less renowned
authority, we are reminded OF the man
who advised his son to keep his mouth
shut so that people would not know he
was fool. This advice is still good
Cor the great majority. Astronomy is
said TO be one Of the best means of
teaching the individual his relative TN.
Importance IN the universe OF matter,
but TO be left alone, far from any
human habiiation, In vast silence,
win probably accomplish the same.

Ancient WEIGHTS and Measures.

The earliest mention Of weighing is
found in the Bible, ana the first re-

"iust balances, just weights" are

the pictured walls of Egyptian pyra-

are frequently portrayed weighing the
souls Of the departed In the balance.

SPLENDID Film
Story of Mother-Love Is
Theme OF Picture
BY DAISY HENRY

.'Over the Hill- is billed as a
simple, home-loving picture---it Is not
billed correctly. "Over the Hill' is a
big. powerful sermon. One cannot
witness this production without feel
ing that there is a message in 1t for
them. And the characters are not
acted. They are really lived.
Here Is beautifully appealing
story of mother love divine. Tears
there are. OF course. but tears that
are Immediately followed by whole
some laughter. The prologue fairly
bulges with fun--the kind of fun
such as the old ones have had In
their youth and such as the youth
full are now having. II Is the
humor which results from the incon-
seauential things in the everyday
life OF a plain, unpretentious fam
ily--the kind of humor that centers
about a family OF six lively children,
a dog. a shiftless father and--a low.
Ing. forgiving mother.
1t will do your heart good to wit
ness the WONDERFUL acting of Mary
Carr, who plays the mother role.
Here is truly an artist You can't
help but love her from the moment
she appears on the screen.
