THE WORLD OF SUN AND
Hs BLUE SKY f'G

Nov when the Navajos climbed
~ from the world Of darkness into
the world of moon and stars they
were very happy, and for many years
they flourished and prospered under
the guidance and leadership Of their
great chief. CHS -Chil-E-Go.
All the warriors and the elders
Of the tribe, who had lived In dark
ness for many years. rejoiced at the
new twilight they had found, and
were content to rest In this world in
peace and happiness. They planted
their crops and fished in the streams
and hunted In the mountains and val
leys, and reared their families in the
light Of the moon and the stars.
But is SO happened that years
passed, and the elders Of the tribe
died. and the younger men became
leaders-and they were discontinued
and unhappy. and they began to seek
about for new worlds and new
streams and new forests.
There was In this world of twilight
q great lake. and in the center of the
lake was a great lily that grew and
grew until no man could see the top
and only the whiteness Of the moon
light on its enormous petals was re-
hected for the tribesmen to see. The
Navajos watched the lily. and saw 1t
grow, and they were curious, but none
among them was brave enough to
swim the lake or climb the lily stalk.
But finally there came a young man
as chief, the great grandson of CHS
Chil-E-Go. and he was very brave and
very venturesome. Seeing the sad
ness and discomfort of his people In
the land Of twilight and shadow, his
heart was sore oppressed and he de
termined to find q new world where
happiness would come to everyone.
So for days he prayed to the Great
Father for advice, and In his prayers
came the vision of new world where
there was great light and warmth,
and where there were days and nights
"a land of green fields and wooded
hills.
So, bidding his people wait for him,
he jumped into the lake and swan
to the great lily stem, and this he
entered and the door closed behind
him. And inside the lily stalk he
found a great hall leading upward
and upward. and this he climbed. For
days and days he continued to climb.
until he was nearly exhausted for he
had brought no food and no drink
and the climb was long and tiresome.
But finally one day he looked up
and saw light, and so he pushed on

Was a Pretty Bad Road

An old farmer and his wife drove
to market in spring wagon. 1t was
a wet day and large pools of water
had formed in the ruts and hollows
of the very rough roadway. On the
return journey he was met by an old
friend. "How are ye today, Silas?"
was his friends greeting "Just tol-
cradle, thank We, Abner." "And how
is the missus?" continued his friend
'She amt complainin'," answered the
farmer. She's settin' on the back
end there" he added, jerking his
thumb over his shoulder. Land
sakes, Silas!" exclaimed his friend,
with astonishment, "there amt no.
body settin' on the back end!" The
old farmer turned around and gazed
curiously at the back of the wagon.
Then shifting his cud of tobacco, he
remarked calmly: "Humph! That ac-
counts for the splash heard about
a mile back"
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1923-02-22

upward and upward, until he stepped
out from the lily stalk into a lily
blossom.
The lily blossom lay in the middle
of a great lake, and the lake was
situated in a new world-a world of
sunshine and green trees. There 1t
was that the Navajo chieftain first
saw the sun, and when he saw the
great father of fire he was frightened
and amazed, and he fell on his face
and worshiped 1t, and gave thanks for
the new world which he had found.
When he arose and swan to the
shore he found world Of happiness
and content; warmed by the rays Of
the father sun. where birds sang, and
animals played In the fields, and flow
ers bloomed and everything was gay.
Then like his great grandfather he
remembered his own people, and tax
ing food from the trees and the
streams he went back through the lily
stalk to the land of twilight, and
there he called the tribesmen about
him and told of the discovery he had
made. Many Of the people believed
him, but some did not, and there was
much discussion. But finally the tribe
decided to divide, and those who were
brave and strong started for the new
world, but those who were weak or
old, or afraid, remained behind In
the world of twilight.
So the young chief and his party
started out, and they climbed the lily
stalk and came into the world of sun
shine and warmth, and like their chief
they fell on their faces and thanked
the Father Sun for the new world
which he had given them.
So it was that the Navajos came in
to the world Of sunshine which they
know today-and when they had come
here then they planted their crops,
and built their homes, and tended
their herds even as they do unto this
day. 1
But those who were weak and
afraid, and who had remained behind
were lost forever-for when the tribe
had ascended to the new world then
the great lily dried up and disap-
peared, and where it had grown there
was only mammoth mountain, shut
ting of forever the road to the land
Of twilight To this day the ones who
remained behind have never been
seen more.
Today the Navajo mothers, when
their children are frightened or bad.
tell them the story of the land Of
twilight-and the cries are hushed
and the naughtiness forgotten under
the threat that they will be sent back
to live forever in land Of semi-dark-
ness with the lost tribe that is no
more

Among the Majority

Not long ago, several automobiles
presented themselves at the "Pearly
Gates" for admittance and St. Peter,
being quite up-to-date. classified
them according to the kind of auto
mobile they drove.
The first man, on being asked said
he drove Packard. "All right, you
go with the Presbyterians."
The second one informed St. Peter
that he drove Cadillac and he was
placed with the Methodists.
The third man on being asked what
kind of a car he drove said that he
drove Ford, at which ST. Peter e1-
claimed: "You get over there among
the Christian Scientists. You didn't
have car; you just thought you had "

AND NOW CONES CONFESSION

WITHOUT doubt all of readers will recall the

sed that if the s6OOO0 road bonds were passed favor
ably at the late election cent would it cost the
taxpayers in additional taxes All would be paid from
gasoline and motor taxes But the real story
asst week bill passed the lower house and is before
e senate to provide for the interest and ppincpa OF
said bonds.

ding for the enactment the Amendment voted last
November:
Subject to the provisions herein after set forth
there shall be levied assessed each beginning

as other State Taxes and shall be paid into the State
RADIO State Highway Bonds Act of 1922 and the proceeds
evies hereby appropriated for the specific
purpose of the payment of said bonds and the interest
thereon.

Because you have no troubles,

So years. an old time rancher on Up
