THE FLYING DUTCHMAN''
STILL A PHANTOM.

Was there never a real flying
Dutchman, a captain who by his
defiance of man and a God gave
rise three centuries ago to one of
the most famous legends of sea-
faring men? The story has it
that the original Flying Dutch
man was doomed for his BIAS
phemy to sail the seas, finding no
port or anchorage, forbidden to
slep, bringing disaster to all who
sighted MIN, and destined to be
the prisoner of Satan when the
Day of Judgment came.
Mr., II. G. Lockhart has been
seeking for the grain of fact that
produced so luxuriaat and long,
lived plant, and in the North
ern Review he explains that there
is none, or, if any, that there are
too many of them. There are,
indeed, narratives which are not
unlike some aspects of the Leg
end; strange and inexplicable nj

story of one Rambout Van Dam,
who disappeared after a royster-
ing expedition and may be heard
still plying his oars in,the waters
where he vanished.
But the truth appears to be
that the legend is spread wher
ever there are seamen and has
many forms of whirh the Dutch
man is but one. There is a phan-
tom ship in the Baltic, there is a
slave ship loaded with corpses and
death ship manned by skele-
tons; there is even phantom
junk in the China seas. The sail
ors, out of their knowledge Of
shipmasters and their dread of
the mysteries of the sea, have in
vented the Flying Dutchman. It

The Blush of so Years
Ago

They opened the Wark VAIN
Memorial Park in the town of
Florida. in the State of Missouri,
a few days ago, and a very con-
siderable number Of old-timers
were present who knew Sam
Clemens when, etc. Reminisc-
ed? Of course they did, and
had a fine time doing it.
That Clemens boy certain
ly made his mark in the com
munity of that early day, and
some of it was dark but most
of it was white-all Of it was
humorous. Anne Levering
Bower, aged 50. went to school
with Sam and moved in the cir
Gle that knew him best and most
at the time.
Sam, said Mrs. Bower, had
one habit the girls used to talk
about. "
She paused and her eyes
dropped in confusion before her
auditor, and pink of the natural
kind colored her aged cheeks.
Then she frightened bravely
and continued: Il guess it's all
right, for I'm thinking you are
married and will understand.
Sam, she continued still with
some confusion and searching
for the most chaste manner of
expression, Sam used to have
habit of pulling up his his
socks when he was with a girl.
He didn't wear any supporters,

This is 1924. We of the time
know and have seen legs of all

They are on parade anywhere

little in our blase existence, ex-
cite little attention of interest.
But Anne lowering Bower, at
80, can still blush confusedly as
she recalls that Sam Clemens,
some 20 years ago, pulled up
his socks in the presence of a

NOTED INDIANS GRAVE
DISCOVERED, is BELIEF
Resting Place of Chief for Whom
City in Idaho Was Named,
Explorer Claims.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associat led Press.
POCATELLO, Idaho, October AN
ancient Indian grave believed to hold
the remains of Chief Nam-puh, the
Piute Indian leader after whom the
city of Nampa, Idaho, was named.
has been found by r. w. Limbert.
whose explorations in the country
now known as the CraterS of the
Moon national monument contributed
greatly to national recognition of
that territory.
While hunting in the desert close
to the Nevada line recently Mr.. Linn
bert said he found fiat rock upon
which there was carved an arrow.
Following the general direction of the
arrow. he found other rocks with
similar carvings. The end of the
line of arrow rocks was a huge
mound of stones with a fiat one rest
ing horizontally on top.
The fiat rock was engraved crudely
with the figure of an Indian with
abnormally large feet and hands.
Around the figure was circle, the
death sign of the Piutes.
The dead chief is reputed to have
had enormously large feet and hands,
and it is a tradition that one of his
feet was s inchse wide and IS inches
long. The attempt of the carver to
show the large hands and feet leads
Limbert to believe that it is the grave
of Chief Nam-puh.
