A Riuer of Romance

What stream of romance and story
the Missouri river has beenl This
wonderful river with its broad
stretches of lake and bluff, it's bird
haunted islands and bayous, its chang
ing moods, its varying chimes and
vegetation, its Indian and white popu-
lations. Its song and story, has built
Itself into our national structure. and
the end is not yet.
The story Of the Mississippi has not
yet been written 1t is liquid romance
1t has been flowing down this central
valley as long as water has flowed
anywhere on this continent. The geol-
oglst speaks Of 1t as 'hoary with an
dquity." And it will flow here when
the last man has vanished from the
scene OF desolation, and SO long an
water can now on a parched and
desolate globe.-Indianapolis Journal.

Mechanics Represent
Character of Cities

Unfortunate is the city which In III
career has not been, dubbed by some
nickname or other. Some of the nick
names of cities express admiration
some are frankly deprecatory, others
are facetious,xand all represent In some
measure the character of the city.
New York city Is blessed with many
nicknames, for whatever may be its
virtues or its vices, no one Will deny
that it has character and distinction.
Perhaps 1t is best known as the EN-
pire City," sobriquet clearly earned
by its premier position In the United
States, its wealth, its population, its
enterprise and Its influence In the EN-.
pire of the Western world.
Gotham" a name first applied hu.
morously by Washington Irving, comes
next. 1t is an allusion to that older
Gotham. the extraordinary stupidity
Of whose citizens won them the ironic
appellatioI of 'The Wise Men Of
Gotham"
Much-abused Brooklyn is preten-
tiously called "The City of Churches"
but IS also known as New York's

Scretrs Used in Watches

Certain Of the screws used In MAX
ing watches are so tiny that 100000
of them could. bespzaeed in a woman's
thimble. These screws are cut by a
machine from steel wire that is only
four-one-thousandths of an inch In d.
ameter. and as the chips fall it looks
as though the operator were simply
shaving the wire for his own amuse-
ment. No screws can be seen, and yet
screw is made at every third opera
tion. Studied through a microscope, 1t
Will be seen that each little finished
screw Is evenly grooyed at the pro-
portion Of 26O threads to the inch. 1t
is estimated that a single machine
turns out abotit a million a month.
They are polished in wholesale fash
son-ten thousand at a. time. They
would never be finished taken sep
arately.

Columbus First Pirate
in American Waters

Christopher Columbus Is said &c
have been the first person who prac-
ticed piracy in American waters. 1t Is
said that his second voyage was moth
ing less than an expedition for the
sake Of plumber. Natives were en-
shaved, and subjected to the greatest
hardships. so that they died In large
numbers A pack of bloodhDunds
which Columbus brought with him for
the purpose, was used to hunt down
the poor Indians when they endeav-
ored to escape from the hands of their
oppressor, and in every way the island
Of Haiti, the principal scene Of the
actions of Columbus, was treated as
IL its inhabitants had committed
dreadful crime by being in possession
OF the wealth which the Spaniards de
sired for themselves.
Queen Isabella was greatly opposed
20 these cruel and unjust proceedings,
ana she sent back to their native land
about 300 slaves which Columbus had
shipped to Spain. and gave positive
orders that no more Of the INHABITANTS
oe enslaved and that they all be
treated with moderation and kindness.
According to Frank r. Stockton. In
MS Buccaneers and Pirates OF Our
Coasts It was because Of his alleged
atrocities that Columbus was SUPER
