such an extent that it practically
stopped the supply. A test developed
IA feet of sand and small gravel. A
three-fourths-inch pipe to the sand
was inserted and air forced to the bot
tom, the rising bubbles keeping the
water disturbed and the sand in sus-
pension, and it was thrown out very
quickly and at little expense. In an
other case the well was 236 feet deep
with all eight-inch casing, and the
sand was beginning to shut off the
supply and get into the pump. There
was available only $50 feet of one-half-
inch pipe, which was connected up
with a compressor. The rising air
created enough suction to lift the sand
and the water was clear and running
free Of sand at the end of 25 minutes"

SITTING BULL WHO WAS THE
INDIAN SPHINX
By Elmo Scoit Doisor
copyright. 1s22. western Newspaper union

ATHEN historians have written the
w last word about the American
Indian, they will be unable to agree in
their estimate of Sitting Bull (Tatan-
ka YOtanka) chief of the Hunkpapa
Sioux. Perhaps no other Indian ever
received so much notoriety; probably
none ever deserved it less.
He was not a hereditary chief nor
q great war leader. Some who knew
him have called him a coward; others
say he was brave enough but prudent.
In the Strictest sense he was not a
medicine man, as he frequently has
been called, although his personal
"medicine" was strong, Who, then,
and what was Sitting Bull? He was a
keen Judge of human nature and he
was lucky in his prophecies, notably
in predicting the destruction of Gen
eraI Custer. He was great leader
with sonle mysterious power over his
people.
Perhaps they saw personified in him
the undying spirit of resistance to the
white man. God Almighty made me
an Indian. He didn't make me an
agency Indian and I don't intend to
be one" he told General Miles in 1877.
That was the keynote of his whole
career. 1t resulted In his leading his
people to Canada where they remained
until 1851, when starvation forced him
to return to the United States and
surrender.
Sitting Bull had a grim sense of hui
NOR. Once a trader at Fort BufOrd
gave him a red shirt with the sugges-
ton that he wear it when he came for
war Sitting Bull accepted the gar
ment with the remark that fright now
would be good time to put 1t on"
He did 80 and when his band left the
trading post they turned and fired
volley into the building.
The old chief had two wives, and
when Bishop Marty tried to persuade
him to divorce one, Sitting Bull re-
Piled: "The black gown is my friend
and / will do this for him. will put
away both my wives and he will get
me a white wife," The proposition
was not accepted.
In the Sixties Sitting Bull had said:
1.-THE whites may get me at last but
will have a good time pqtp then"
He proved true prophet 4p saying
that. In an effort to quiet the ghost
dance excitement, Indian police were
sent on December Is, 1890, to arrest
Sitting Bull. Seme of the Hunkpapa
resisted and in the melee that followed
Sitting Bull was shot dead. Like King
Philip and Pontiac he was killed by
members Of his own race, but, as he
the whites got him at last"

EGGS Without Yolks.

A Nova Scotia farmer says he
found ducks egg with three shells.
When the egg was broken it was
found to have only white with an
other smaller egg. The second egg
was broken, and like the first had
only white with another smaller egg.
The third egg being broken, its con-
tents proved to be also white, no yolk
In any of the three shells.

A Saskatchewan farmer don't know

to have fhem delivered for breakfast.

''UncIe Jim" Unaffected by Cares

SeQuatter" In New York City Has
Permanent Home and All His
Modest Needs Supplied.


In New York, where the high-cost-
Of-living specter haunts the millions
and some milliOnaires, possession by
q penniless man of health, happiness
and home on Riverside drive, with
acres of front lawn, is perhaps an ac-
complishment without precedent. Yet,

as q result of:
"Just believin' In Cod"
Uncle Jim is negro who, on Feb
Tuary 10. entered upon his seventy
third year, and is today smilingly con-
ftcent that he will live beyond the
century mark without the loss of his
health or physical activity. His theory
Is that God will take care of anyone
who trusts Him, although he does not
quite carry this belief to the point OF
q lily-of-the-field existence, and admits
that his health has been and will be
maintained by his physical efforts in
gathering, cutting and saving wood
for his winter fires. doing his own
washing and cooking and otherwise
keeping his house in order.
In 1900, when what is now his front
lawn was marsh land almost on a
level with the Hudson river, Uncle
Jim" was employed by contractor
named Conway as one of number of
laborers who were to fill in the
marshes lying along the Hudsons
east bank. He was provided with
boards for q little shack" which he
built with its back against huge
boulder. Then he aided in filling in
what is now his front yard. When
the work was completed and the con-
tractor and his men moved, Uncle
Jim having staked his claim, as he
says, decided to 'squat" there in
definitely.
Conway said 1t was all right with
him, and since then various owners Of
the property have given tacft consent
to his remaining. AS his lawn is
filled-in-land, hardly suitable for the
foundations of houses, the old squat
ter feels secure in his possession.

strengthened on the river side by
sheets of tin which resist the winter
blasts. Within is stove, some cook

'.Uncle Jim" spends most of his time
outdoors. From the Hudson he obtains
crabs and fish for his meals, and an
odd Job now and then brings sufficient
change with which to buy bread, cof-
fee and tobacco.

Jim." "this was all wilderness. ]

not protect themselves"
The permanent wild life protectic@
fund, through Dr.. William T. Horna-
day. trustee, and also director Of the
New York geological park, awards a,
gold medal to any member of the Boy
Scout organization who shall during
a given year demonstrate to the ma
tional court of honor that he has ren-
dered a distinguished service in the
conservation Of wild life.
Woodcraft is one Of the activities
of the Boy Scouts Of America and
means becoming acquainted with the
things that are out of doors. 1t IN
cludes the tracking of animals by the
marks left by their hoofs. and by
stealing out upon these animals, not
to do them harm, but for the sake OF
studying their habits and getting ac-
auainted with them.
AS a scout advances he seeks one
or more of the 58 merit badges. When
he has won 21 of these, he is an Eagle
Scout. One of the merit badges IS
for kindness to animals. TO obtain
this a scout must:
/. Have a general knowledge of
domestic and farm animals.
2. Be able to treat 4 horse for
colo.
8. Describe symptoms and give
treatment for the following: Wounds,
fractures and sprains, exhaustion,
choking and lameness.
4. Know what 10 Go for horses in
harness when they fall on the street,
5. Know what to do when animals
are being cruelty mistreated.
The instructions to be studied by
scouts who are trying for a merit
badge on first aid to animals were
prepared by DR.. Francis H. Rowley
! of Boston, president of the American
Humane Education society. As DR..
Rowley says, the first requirement for
this merit badge states that scout
must have general knowledge OF
domestic and foreign animals. This
particular merit badge was destined
more especially for boys who live on
farms and in rural communities and
would naturally come in contact more
or less with domestic animals. The
knowledge which boy gains about
farm animals as he learns how to take
care of the horses, milk the COWS and
feed the pigs is general enough and
sufficiently adequate for the purpose
of this examination.
From DR.. Rowleys able instruc-
tions, the following is taken: Re
quirement four is as follows: When
horse falls in harness on the street,
have some one hold his head down
flat on the ground until the harness
is so far released from the wagon that
the wagon can be pulled back and
| the horse given a chance to rise. If
the ground is slippery, place banket
