To Remove Mud Stains


If there are mud spots on your
frock, let them remain until dry.
If quite dry, rub off the top layer
with piece of wool, then brush
the spot with a stiff brush. If any
of the stain remains, it can be re-
moved by rubbing piece Of raw
potato over it.
It costs no more to have several
brooms and use each less often
than it does to have only one
broom and use it continually, so
have at least two and keep one
with q dust pan on each floor of
your home. 1t will save many
steps.
To clean a photograph wipe
with a soft cloth wrung out in
warm water and a little ammonia
and dry with another cloth.
If the damp weather has rusted
the gas stove apply linseed oil
with soft cloth and then sand
paper any spots that remain.
A tablespoonful of freshly made
coffee added to an apple pie just
before baking will give it most
delicious flavor.
To prevent oil stove wicks from
smoking, soak them in vinegar and
then dry them thoroughly before
using.

THE IRON NERVE OF SAM
HOUSTON, THE VIRGINIAN

Courage and daring were qualities
characteristic Of all tile scouts who
won their right TO fame in frontier his
tory, but for iron nerve and pure grit
sam Houston was the peer Of them all.
Perhaps he Inherited his fortliuae
from his father, who was a solder
IN the Revolution; perhaps during his
long stay among the Cherokee Ihdi.
ans he learned that q warrior bears
pain without nlnehing.
Houston was 4 Virginian who had
entered the army and risen to the rank
OF ensign at the outbreak of the Creek
war In 1873. Gen. Andrew Jackson
odd Hickory had taken the field
against the Creeks and, after series
OF battles in which the Indians were
defeated, they made last stand AZ
their fortified encanpment, Tohopeka
In the Great Horseshoe bend Of the
Tallapoosa river, Ala.
During The assault on this fort, d
barbed arrow struck Houston In the
thigh. He tried to pull 1t out, but
failed. The agony was frghtful.
Calling to u soldier, Houston com
manded him to extract the shat.
Twice the man tried and failed, then
begged to be relieved Of the task when
he saw the unspeakable torture he
was causing.
TRY again." commanded Houston
"And If you fail, III run you through
with my swofdw
The third attempt was successful.
and as the barbed shaft was torn
from the flesh, II was followed by a
gush Of blood. General Jackson, see
Ing Houston's wound, ordered him to
the rear. The young ensign waited
until Jackson had passed on, had u
surgeon bind up the wound, and in a
few minutes he was back In the thick
of the fighting.
The high peak in Hous;on's adven-
turous life came in 1886 when, at the
head OF a little army OF 500 Texans,
with the battle cry OF Remember the
Alamo!' on their lips, he defeated the
hordes Of Santa Anna, the Mexican
Dictator at San Jaclnto, and won free
dom for Texas. lie was elected first
president Of the Lone Star republic.
AT the outbreak OF the Civil VAR,
Houston, who was governor of Texas,
was bitterly opposed to the secession
OF that stale from the Onion. The
Contederates forced lin to resign.
They required all men over sixteen 10

travelling Houston refused 10 do
either. Once they stopped him and
demanded his pass. San Jaclnto Is

New Aampehlre,s Nov Law.

In a new automobile registration
law the state of New Hampshire
seeks to control the use of trucks on
the highways by basing the tax on
the weight OF the vehicle p,us the
load and the type OF tres used.
For trucks equipped WITT pneuma-
tic tires the rate IS tho same as for
passenger cars, 60 cents her 100
pounds gross weight OF the car and
load, with minimum fee of 500
II equipped with hard tires the rata
Is IS cents o 100 pounds with SS0
minimum, and If equipped with iron
stee' or other hard tires the rate il a
cent a pound. Trailers are to be reg.
istered at a fee Of from so Ia 40
cents a hundredweight, INCLUDING the
Dad to be carried, the amount depend
Ing upon Ire nature of the tires as in
the case or trucks.
BY imposing certain restriction
New Hampshire also seeks to meet
tho new situation created by the
building of trucks with immense bod
les which take up fore and aft AMI
sideways a much greater proportion
Of the read than the wheel base and
width Of the vehicles contemplates.
The maximum length to he allowed
includ ng load, Is 30 feet maximum
wild \ is 96 inches and the maximum
weight is 10 tons These restrictions
are of such liberal character as to
cause no embarrassment to any truck
user WIZ desires to consult the safA-
ty and rights of others on the high
way.
Regardless of the fees imposed
some Will consider them high, othere

this in something approaching o
sni'nt'fr manner The effect Of a

Yet, on the whole, this Ia q sen

provision, whch makes it possible
to penalize the man who over'oads

/ This Is a story OF modern Ulysses.
a frontier hero of many wanderings,
who died without receiving the fame
which was his due, 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
1929. AS boy he played with the
young Seneca Indians of Chief Corn

he brought down a hawk flying about

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 TIE Pacific and he
trayersed It on the north from Cali
forliia 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 10

Smiths death was heroic. In 1881
he was guiding a wagon train over
the Santa Fe trail. The train had TAX
ell a short cut around the head Of the
Cimarron river and soon was lost In
a desert country. Water must be
found at once. Smith set out In search
OF a 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 slgnaled peace, and az
ter talking in the sign language for
While, they succeeded in frightening
Smiths horse. AS II turned, they shot
at the scout with arrows, Noundlng
him in the arm. Smith whe~led about,
shot the chief dead with his rifle and
Killed two more savages with his ps-
tolls Then graspiug 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
