When Tecumseh was Jealous

Most readers are familiar with
Misunderstanding: but how many ever
heard of Leatherlips? And yet
Leatherlips. as chief of the Wyan-
dots, Sandusky tribe. was so strong
a character as to arouse the jealousy
of the great Tecumseh and incur the
death penalty.
Leatherlips' friendship for the
whites was commonly known. The
great Tecumseh. mad with jealousy,
ordered him to be killed, declaring
him to be a wizard. Leatherlips re-
ceived a piece of bark containing a
drawing of war-ax. When Leath-
erlips received the piece of bark he
knew his fate was sealed.
There is nothing to show he could
not have made his escape, but OBJ
viously he did not. One Summer
day in 1910. at his camp on the
Scioto, dozen miles or so above
Columbus. he had his grave dug and
kneeled beside it and was slain while
singing his death-song. Several
white men were present at the exc
cution and endeavored to save the
chiefs life.-By Hugh PendeXter in
Adventure Magazine.

''The Arrival of
Kitty" Makes Hit
at Soldiers Home

The all star cast Of Co. r, 103fd IN
fantry. that Is to produce 1.-THE Ar
rival OF Kitty" a three act comedy,
at the Augusta City Hall, Wednes-
day evening, October gath, made its
hrst appearance at the National
and delighted an enthusiastic aud
fence.
The play is one of, the funniest
comedies ever written and always
makes hit and Saturday nights
performance was no exception. One
OF the Spanish War Veterans waited
outside the Opera House to speak to
the actors as they went out and
wanted to know where the troupe
was going. this coming week, think
ing 1t to be professional company
touring the State
The lines are very "snappy"
throughout. the characters are UNI
usually interesting and the situations
are so funny that the audience is in
an uproar from start to finish.
From the rise of the curtain, when
SAM" the colored porter, and
Ting" the Yale University man,
hopping bells' for the summer, are
discovered asleep in the Office Of the
Halcyon House everything is activity.
Corporal Leland s. Anderson made a
wonderful success, Saturday evening,
playing the part of the darkie and
was well worth the price of admis-
sion alone. Herbert j. Leonard, in
the role of '"Ting" was a screS.a and
even though a small individual. his
funny lines reached every corner of
the theatre and caused any a flt of
laughter. The opening of 1.-THE Ar
rival of Kitty" with these two chang
| ing costumes and making elaborate
preparations for the entertainment of
the guests that arrive in rapid sue
cession is one of the greatest begin
nings of q real comedy that could
be conceived of.
The MISUNDERSTANDING. the love
affair, the frolics of Ting" and
Robbie" the peculiar situations in
which you find all of the characters
both before and after the arrival
! Of kitty are extremely ludicrous
and everyone of the cast are re-
markedly well adapted to their
i parts.
/ The advance sale Of tickets by the
! members OF the company and at

that there will be capacity audience

The Woman Who Rules Afehanistan

In spite of the fact that psychoan-
alysis and similar cults threaten to
divest woman of much Of her ira
ditional mystery, it must be admitted
that few periods in history have pro-
duced more remarkable array of
feminine personalities than the pres
ent.
Have you ever heard of the mystic
rious Saradjul Khevatin, "the woman
who rules Afghanistan?"
Afghanistan is the last of the Mo-
hammedan countries to preserve its
isolation from the infidel. When Rus
STA collapsed it looked as if Afghanis-
tan's long-held independence would
he lost to Britain. whose vast empire
seemed to be encircling the mountain
kingdom. But Saradjul, one Of the old

meet the unlucky bird.
The ravens history is curious
one. several of its appearances being
recorded in historical documents pre-
served at the Bibliotheque Rationale.
Each time it has been seen, its ap-
pearance has been followed by some
sort of catastrophe or accident, the
victim of which is usually the head
of the state to whom it has shown it
self
The first record Of its appearance
was in 1875. The gray raven then
haunted Versailles. One day. just
"hNi c'iV was uiplIIlS II blSCulJ IllIU
cup of milk at Trianon farm. Marie
Antonette suddenly saw the bird
looking at her from the tree. The
queen. knowing its history, fell into
a dead faint.
In 1910 the Empress Marie Louise
was partaking of a meal almost at
the same spot. She said the birds
croaking seemed to warn her of the
approaching end of her happiness.
and it was only few days later that
Napoleonis triumphant career came
to an end. She returned to Austria
q fallen empress.
No further appearance of the raven
is recorded until President Theirs
saw it in 1872. while staying at Yer
sailles. Theirs, who was familiar
with the birds history. said he was
unafraid. and the bird followed him to
the Elysee palace in Paris
Six months before President Car
not's assassination the great black
gray bird was seen again and it's
next appearance was shortly before
Felix Faures sudden death. Since
then nobody has seen it until now.
not even at President Deschanel's
unlucky accident.
Believers in omens of this nature
point out that the case of President
Theirs was the only one in which the
gray ravens arrival did not precede
some sort of unhappy event.

A Licensed Bank Vault Wrsclsinus

1t is not often that bank vault
is entered except by the door,
especially when the president is
looking on. but this happened in
Paterson. n. j., when bank Gle :
was locked into the vault by an ac-
cidcnt. The huge door moved noise
leSSly on its hinges, there was an
CminOUS click as the time clocks
snapped their tiny bolts and every
thing was safe for the morrow eX-
cept the young clerk was caught.
The asonized friend who had mad
vertently allowed the door to close.
called the officers of the institution
who began frantically telephoning to
contractors who had electric drills
and burning torches and skilled
mechanics. A force OF forty men
was soon assembled, and realizing
the impossibility of attempting to
wreck the door. attacked the vault
from the top, and in relays, cut
through the concrete until the steel
plates were reached. Electric drills
were put into action and through the
first holes oxygen was forced. as the
vault was not very large one, and
me air must have soon become
vitiated. The torches were then ap-
piled and after four hours work a
surgeon and the president descended
through the jagged hole, and the
door was released from the dominion
of the clocks. The limp form with
the face of agony was born to the
ambulance whose engine had been
throbbing for hours. The victim had
very narrow escape. He was I'M
conscious, deaf and terribly bruised
on the knuckles from fruitless at
tempts to escape. Hearing finally
returned. and it is believed that re-
covery will be permanent. This
dramatic incident gives much food
for reflection. Every bank vault
should be inspected carefully by a
high official. not a clerk. before lock-
ing and there should be an oxygen
tank provided in the vault and every
clerk should be instructed in its use.
Whether the time locks should be
arranged so that they can be oper-
ated from the inside without keys
is technical question involving
vault security. The event shows
that 1t takes four hours with forty
men working In relays with all the
electric equipment, oxygen, burning
apparatus, etc. at their command TO
make an entry. The bank vault. is
still several jumps ahead of the bur-
giar.-Sctentific American

They are also tenacious Of life aft

live two weeks, and in one case a

A carpenter ant, after being sub
merged eight days in distilled water
came to life upon being dried, so
that they are almost proof against
drowning.
They can live for long periods
without food; in one case the fast
lasted nearly nine months.
