OF CARNEY
FOUND In BOTTOM
OF DEVILS CANYON

The l~ifeless body of Stephen
Garvey, homesteader of the Big
Horn mountains, who had been
missing since March 16, was found
last week by a searching party
which had been organized by the
Forest Service. According to re-
ports received the body was found
in Devils canyon, where the trail
showed that the. homesteader had
made an effort to regain the trail
above after having killed a deer.
There were no bruises upon the
body to indicate that Garvey had
been injured. One hundred yards
from where he was found runs the
Sioux trail where he had left his
skis, and not more than a mile
and a half from his home.
Mrs. Garvey, after waiting sever
al days for the return of her hus-
band, and being short of supplies
and fuel. made the fifteen mile
journey to the nearest ranch, reach
ing there only after three days and
two nights. She suffered terribly
and was found by a rancher a short
distance from his home where she
had collapsed. Mrs. Garvey will
recover it is said.
Garvey was a Hungarian by birth
and a graduate of Leipsic univer-
sity. He has been a rancher in the
Big Horns for about twelve years,
living rather a secluded life. He
was married last December.

Stockings in History

The antecedentS of present-day
stockings were first worn by men, says
the Detroit News. The early Anglo
Saxon stockings were known as
"scin" hose and were mark of wealth
and station. They were made of leath-
er and wrapped around the leg like
bandage King Canute wore stockings
reaching to his knees and striped hori-
Zontally in two colOrs. The intrOducer
of what has become the modern sock
was King Robert, while King Edgar
enswathed his legs with garters of
gold. The Norman conquest, however,
brought return to the cross garter
ing. and William the Conquerors hose
were of red leather over which there
was a cross gathering of blue with
gold tassels.
The dandies of France under Charles
the Wise wore stockings of different
colors on each leg. Black and yellow,
green and purple, and green and yell
low were some of the combinations
they affected. The fashion of en-
broidering stockings with colored silks
came in with Edward T. and long hose
became the vogue in the Fourteenth
century. Queen Philippa, consort of
Edward III, had stockings of seven
different cOlors. 1t was during the
reign of this couple that the circular
garter came into use. Under Crom-
well the gay colors and embroidered
hose were replaced by sober black and
brown, but it was not long before the
bright hues returned. Then, with long
trousers for men, came socks, and silk
embroidered stockings took their
places chiefly as intimate associates of
women.

SeoSicRnesS

"New York, DOCTORS" says the st.
Louis Star, express themselves as I'M
impressed with the much-heralded
oxygen cure for seasickness. They
say seasickness is here to stay; that
there is no cure except to stay ashore.
"And not always is one immune if
one stays ashore. There are those
who become seasick through swinging
in hammocks, in rocking chair, and
even from riding on street cars that
swing sharply around curves. For
these the pronouncement of doctors
comes as a real blow. Their sad ex-
perience must be undergone again
when they travel abroad. They must
still get their thrills of a sea voyage
from books, and through anticipation
of the delights that await them when
they disembark at the end of the
journey"

Seal Brings
Up Family Strictly

Maternal discipline is as pronounced
among the seal families as among hui
man beings, according TO men who
have spent many years along the
shores of Cook inlet, Alaska, and have
studied aquatic life there
From the time baby seal is laid
snugly within bed of dry seaweed
until he receives a final spanking and
is directed to hustle for himself, he is
subjected to unrelenting discipline.
Contrary to popular belief, a baby
seal is as helpless in the water at
birth as human baby would be. II
must be taught to swim and instruct
ed in all the lore of seal life, includ-
ing how to hunt food and escape it's
enemies.
Charles Coach, who has made hair
seal hunting business for years.
says he has watched a mother seal
teaching her baby to swim. The
mother would founder out on the rock
cry, gather the baby under her f1ipper
and slip carefully into the water. Sus
pending the baby on her fiipper, she
would bark, grunt, whine and wheedle
to indicate what was desired. If the
baby refused to perform, it was effec-
lively spanked with the mothers flip
per. The young seal gradually learns
to swim by floundering few strokes
at time, with the mother snatching
it from danger every time 1t becomes
exhausted Or. starts tO sink
Some of the beachcombers adopt
baby seals as pets. They become as
faithful as dogs and, if one decides
to Danish them, are as hard to get
rid of as cats. An instance was cited
where baby seal was taken out to
sea in the hope that it would reunite
with it's herd. About midnight there
was plaintive wall at the cabin door.
Like the traditional cat, the seal had
some back. He howled until he was
admitted to the family circle and fed
a piece of fish.

Grown to Vast Amount

Stephen Girard was a rich banker
of Philadelphia. When he died SO
years ago he provided that his entire
fortune, $5,2OO,OOO, should be used to
care for and to educate orphan or
half-orphan boys.
He limited the number of boys to
1900. And he forbade the use of ally
part of the income from his bequest
for any other purpose than bringing
up those boys.
The trustees of the estate have put
up splendid buildings for the boys. They
have a faculty so large that there is
one teacher to every three and one-half
students. Yet the surplus has been
reinvested until now the original $5,-
100000 is said to have grown to $780,
100000 or more.

81 went to Lum Lagos house last

Lobella, his daughter, came to the

fired a couple of shots at me as I
was splitting the wind away from

"What in tunkett do you reckon

acquaintance.

SCENES OF HORROR
IN CITY OF TOKYO
Thousands in Supposed
Safety Burned to Death.

AS normal conditions are slowly re-
stored in Tokyo, dramatic stories are
being told of incidents during the fire
which destroyed the city Immediately
following the earthquake of September
L last. Among these are many stories
OF the actions of Japanese Christians
which are received by the Episcopal
church in connection with the fund
winch is being raised to rebuild Chris
tan churches which were DESTROYED
In the disaster. One tells of a Chris
tan convert, G. Higuchi, by name
Higuchi, incidentally, means literally
mouth of fire." He was member
OF the Church of True Light, in the
slum section of Tokyo, and among the
$4,000 who took refuge in the military
stores enclosure, $4,000 of whom were
burned to death.
The refugees sought safety in the
military stores on the advice of a
Japanese police official, who after
viewing the scene of horror there on
the following day, killed himself
through remorse over having recon-
mended the place as a refuge from
the flames. At the time there was no
thought that the fire would spread to
this great open space of % acres, so
the people, carrying with them their
household goods and fleeing from the
destroyed section, took possession of
the inclosure, which within an hour
was damned with solid mass of peo-
pie. Rev. Y. Sugiura, a Christian min
lister living in the neighborhood, tells
this story. Says he:
For .Ong time it was cry calm
and comfortable and was n sign of
any such calamity as was Impending.
All the people there had the idea that
the danger would pass away when the
houses in the immediate neighborhood
were burned down. Then suddenly
without warning there was a terrific
noise, and the air was filled with OBJ
jects whirled up by the fearful force
of blast of wind. Instantly every
thing combustible in the whole mass
seemed to be swept into the air in
huge spiral column and then hurled
to the ground upon the poor victims
below
"One hoy, luckier than the rest, was
carried two miles and dropped I'M
harmed into the water of the canal.
The place was now veritable hell,
where the people were being burned
alive in the very place to which they
had fed for refuge, and the goods
they had carried there for safety were
converted into fuel to make their
death more terrible. Cries for moth
ers, cries for husbands-a universal
shrek arose from the mass and con-
tinued for about ten minutes, and then
silence fell and there was no sound
but the cracking of the flames.
"Then occurred a wonderful thing.
A native Christian stood up and
preached sermon to those who were
facing death Those who heard the
sermon say it was short, but above
the roaring of the flames they heard
distinctly the closing words:
"Iord Jesus, I conner he cried and
fell into the flames"
Mr.. Higuchis mother, who was lying
at his feet, was rescued, though pitiful-
ly burned, and told the story to Mr..
Sugiura.
