WAYS was cheerful. His gaiety in
responding to curtain calls, his
gracious bows and unexpected
tricks, his inexhaustible energy,
aroused an admiration sthat knew
no boundaries, creeds or birth.
His joy was in singing.
Il promise you that when I GO
to heaven l shall sing forever" be
told an audience at the Friars club
five years ago.
Sometimes the possession of a
voice that thousands considered
the most perfect ever given to a
man, palled upon the great tenor,
and he would express a regret that
he could not be just an ordinary
somebody,
The burdens of my gift arc
greater than the rewards" he
would say.
Trouble seemed ever to follow
him. yet he kept cheerful and un-
dismayed.
Followed by Mishaps.
In June, 1920, his country home

LAND IRRIGATED BY INDIANS
Before the Advent Of the Spaniards
the System Was in Vogue Among
tho Aboroines.

irrigation began in Texas many
years before the lands embraces
within its boundaries became part
Of the United States. years before
those same lands made up what WAS
known as the Lone Star republic,
writes James X. Freddy In the Amcri-
can Forestry Magazine.
To bring the tine down to q more
tangible date, the first irrigation work
was donc--according to tradition
when the Pueblo Indians constructed
the peculiar bitches about lei Paso
and the Pecos country, which author
tiles of today claim were built for irri-
CATION purposes. Another tradition
coming out of the past tells that these
bitches were built by the Yuma In
dams when they were driven west
ward by the Comanches and Apaches,
and not by the Pueblos.
When Coronado, the rowing ex-
plorer, opened this country to the
Spaniards he found weIl-worked irri-
CATION systems among the Indians {;
this was In 1910 when he was pushing
toward the north. The practice of
irrigation was continued under the
franciscan fathers. who constructed
the five mission bitches that were
found near the present city Of San
Antonio. Even under Mexican rule
the work did not stop, and grants by
the Mexican government often read
as follows:
lin the name Of the Mexican M
ton. grants him one day Of water with
Its corresponding labor Of land."

LOOT STORES OF FIELD MICE
North Dakota indians Raid Caches q

In Ia Place.

In the northern part Of North Da-
kota there grows bean which 10 re-
lated to the peanut and of which the
Indians Of that section are very fond.
AS each plant bears but single bean,
the labor Of gathering them would be
very great, but the field mice of that
section gather the beans and hide
them for winter consumption In under
ground storehouses.
The Indians know how to locate the
caches and In the autumn they 20
forth and rob them, but the supplies
are Invariably replaced with corn or
some other grain which the Indians
have In plenty, so that the little har-
vesters Rre not starved out.
Tie beans have n delicious flavor
and arc highly priced. In the course
Of few days hunt one Indian may
gather two bushels, few quarts being
secured from each of the underground
stOrehOuScs.
Tie Indians say that this method Of
gathering food from mouse boards
dates back to prehistoric times, but
the traditions Of the tribes protect the
mice In that it Is taught that dire pun
ishment falls upon those who take the
beans without replacing them with
corn.-Chicago Journal.

GHOSTS IN CORNISH MINES
Old Legend Concerning "knoekers" 10
Firmly Believed In by tho Work.
ere Underground.

Some OF the best-authcnticated cases
OF hauntings in England are those In
connection with tin and coal mines.
Many Of them come from Cornwall,
where there is profound belief In
what are termed "the Knockers" Ac.
cordlns to Charles Kingsley, "the
Knockers" are the ghosts Of the Jews
who crucified our Lord. and who, as
a consequence Of that crime. have been
compelled to remain earthbound ever
since. He explains the reason Of them
haunting Cornwall by saying they
were sent thither as slaves by the Ro-
man Emperors. who obtained most of
their tin from that country.
Be this as It may, "the Knockers"
are still heard, and II anyone wants
proof they should pay a visit one night
to one OF the many disused shafts.
THE Knockers" do not confine them.
selves to ancient mines. They are at
times In quite modern ones. There
10 story still current In Cornwall
to the effect that a man who bought
q house that had Just been built in q
mining district was awakened one
night by the sound Of tramping up
and down the stairs, as II by an army
OF men In heavy boots. He got up
several times to attempt to discover
what It was, but the moment he opened
the door and looked out all was quiet.
He made inquiries Of one OF the serv.
ants, who was a local girl. "Those
noises?" she said. "Why, I heard
them too. They are the Knockers
and they came last night to tell us
there Is new lode under this house
that waits to be worked"
What she said proved to be an .ct.
ual fact. There was new tin lode
beneath the building, and very pro.
ductiye one.

One Of Americas greatest sculp-
tors, Edwin Dallin, was once wheel
barrow boy in mine In Utah, where
he tOlled all day for less than dollar.
The miners uncovered a stratum of
white clay one morning, and Dallin,
forgetting his work, sat down and be-
gan to model a likeness Of one Of the
workmen. SO lifelike was 1t that his
teacher, when he returned to school
In the fall, sent 1t and some Of his
drawings to state fair being held
In Salt Lake City. A rich mine owner
had his attention called to the little
clay bust and he offered to furnish
the boy transportation to Boston
where he could enter an art school.
The boy worked long ind hard, and
by the time he was twenty one he had
a studio Of his own. the Detroit News
recalls. He went to Paris shortly
afterward and began q series Of In
dinntposes, using tile Indians from the
Buffalo Bill show ct that time In
France. His first masterpiece, "The
Signal OF Peace" was finished ut that
time and no was recognized there
after as one of the worlds great test

Dicky loved her! He had never
seen her silly trick to win his love
The future. iridescent as dream
stretched before her rosy, beckoning
way.
