 LET US A MAE-ING GO

In a swimming suit. Our Mae was cute,
 She gagged all the boys.

 And never made much noise. But Mae was clever. l. And so she never Talked outside her class,
 She just smiled eoyly. And captured boyly,
 Each male who happe'd to pass. One day Mae married,
 The news was carried,
 To all the threats in town.
 Her suit was drastic. z
 Oh. yes. bombastie. @
 She did it up in brown.

Great Records Made by
Men With Mirhtv Thews

Topham, the famous strong man Of
Islington, finding watchman asleep
In his box, took up box and man, the
whole weighing at least FIVE hundred
weight, and dropped them over four
foot wall into burying ground. Will
liam Joy, known as the English Sam
son, saw four men trying vainly to
move great stone which had fallen
into the road. He picked 1t up, car
ried 1t ten yards and pitched 1t into
a ditch. This man was able to hold a
big horse motionless even when its
rider tried to whip and spur it for
ward. Years ago Monsieur Gregorie," I"
a French strong man, amazed the peo-
pie Of Hereford by carrying balk Of
timber weighing seven hundredweight.
At that time he was seventy-one years
old. Gregorie was afraid to pet his
own baby for fear he should give 1t
fatal squeeze.-London Mail.

Mooney VindicatiOn Near

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Repre
sentative Henry T. Rainey, of Illi-
nois, has joined the movement in
congress for a pardon for Tom
Mooney
Writing to Mooney, Rainey said:
Il am glad to know that the report
of the Wickersham commission in
your case will be made public, and |
have every confidence now that your
complete vindication is not far away.
You have certainly been buried long
enough in a living grave and the
treatment you have received will al
ways be blot upon the history of
our country.
'"The sooner the vindication comes
the better. think the people of the
United States will rejoice to hear of
your release under an unconditional
pardon, and it ought to be imme-

Indian Legend Explains
Oririn Of Five Tribes


After the Great Spirit had created
the hills and dales, the lakes and
streams, placed the animals and birds
In the woodland, and the fishes In the
waters Of New York, he dropped i've
handfuls OF red sand across the prom
ised land" The first handful, 1t is
said, fell in the valley Of the Mohawk,
from the gateway--for which the In
dian word is Schenectady-to the VI
cinity of Utica; and from this red
sand sprang the Mohawks, OF whom
Joseph Brant was prominent mem
Der.
The second handful fell among the
fiat stones. Oneida. in Oneida and Mad
ison counties, and gave birth to the
Oneidas, Of whom Shenandoah was a
well-known patriot chieftain.
The third handful fell among the
hills near Syracuse and today $50 peo-
pie Of the hills, which the word Onon-
daga means, still dwell In the hills Of
Onondaga county.
The Cayugas arose from the fourth
handful, dropped around the lake which
still bears their name, and from this
group came the great orator, Logan.
who is buried at Auburn.
The fifth handful Of red sand was
dropped In the beautiful valley which
the word Genesee means, and from
this mighty tribe came the noted Red
Jacket, Big Tree, and other council
ors. We speak of the Six Nations, or
tribes, of Iroquois today since the Tus-
caroras, who now live In Niagara coun-
ty, came from the South in 1712 and

Queens Petty Spite

One of the hands Of Anne Boleyn,
second wife Of Henry VIII Of England,
was deformed by the presence Of a
sixth finger. says Pathfinder Magazine.
The extra finger, however, was little
more than stump covered by nail
turned up at the sides. Anne wore
gloves whenever possible, but Queen
Catherine used to get revenge on her
rival by compelling her to play cards
without gloves, thus exposing the de-
formity and disgusting the king. Many
cases OF hexadactylism, which consists
of having six fingers on each hand and
six toes on each foot, have been re-
ported by science.

per cent wage reduction was given
through David B. Robertson, chair
man of the Railway Labor Execu-
tives' Association, and was announced
by Daniel Willard, head of the rail-
road presidents committee of nine.
The agreement terminated joint con
ferences of the railroad presidents
and labor executives which began

Willard Halls Action
In announcing the employees de-
cision, Willard declared that their ac-
tion was "the greatest single step
toward the reconstruction of Amer
ican business and industry which has
been taken since the depression"
The railroad unions do not believe
hat the wage reduction will restore
but as they said in their
statement accepting the reduction,
hey are taking it in the hope that it
nay stimulate business and advance
he general welfare.

after painstaking review of the
proposals and arguments which have
been ably and forcibly presented in
behalf of the railroads, we feel COM
PEELED to reiterate our previous opin-
ion that as matter Of pure right and
justice the railway employees could
not be called upon to agree to a 10

earnings.
"Nor do we wish to give any
assent to the theory that wage
reductions are to be regarded
ordinarily as the appropriate
means to promote prosperity. We
cannot believe that the public

the purchasing power of labor.
'sBut with profound sense of re-
sponsibility to the workers whom we
represent and to our country, we have
weighed the urgent needs of the rail
road industry and the demands of the
public welfare in this present un-

railroad employees.

"Christenins" Shin

The custom Of breaking bottle of
champagne ON the prov Of ship when
1t Is launched Is relic OF the ancient
.libation, which was practiced when
ships were launched. The ancients
consecrated the ship to the god whose
image she bore. The action of bless
ing ships is alluded to by the monks
Of st. Denys. In July, 1418, the bishop
OF Bangor was sent to Southampton to
bless the kings ship to insure success

Truths Pondered While

your brother man"
BY Mr.. MOdeStus-

America was discovered" for
Europeans--in 1892.
Pretty soon after that the new con-
tinent began to furnish gold, then
furs, then lumber and tobacco.
Our usual tradition is that it was

think of the natives as having many
rights, or as amounting to very much.
The Spaniards skinned the gold
from the Central Americans, and then
pretty much wrecked everything.
1t has taken almost 500 years for
us. to become interested in the idea of
what America was before the white
man found it.
Traces of the Mound Builders were
found in Ohio, and most of the mid
| die states.
| Further west in the cliff dwellings,,
the pueblos and the relics of irriga-
tion systems, were found traces of
something more than barbarism.
Traditions of ancient gold mines
and marvellous temples in the hidden
| hills, trickled out from their hiding
| places.
Studious men wondered where the
American people came from.
!! They began to hunt for the trails
of migration wherever they were.
| At the extremities Of the path of
immigration, they began to get into
definite records.
Finally, in the jungle tangles of
Mexico and Central America, they be-
gan to find something to put along
with the tale of the Incas of Peru.
And now we begin to have photo
graphs of ancient temples and city
walls which compare with those of
ancient Egypt and India. taken in
Central America.
1t may be worth while to name
some of the the items which appear
in these records as proving an an
cient civilization.
They had an agriculture-the cul-
ture of corn, of maize, as we'll as
other products.
Pottery was uniquely developed.
Textiles were spun, woven, made
into art products of distinctive
quality.
Building, of stone-in some cases
mammoth monoliths-was at a stage
of development which still leaves
wonderment as to it's methods.
A calendar, based on a mysterious
mastery of astronomical facts, was
leyen more accurate than any other in
use at that time.
/ Writing they had, in hieroglyphs,
now largely deciphered.
/ Government, complex and efficient
| for their purposes, they had.
| Their use of gold was such as to
make it common; and this was the
| reason for their destruction at the
hands of the Spaniards.
Their traditions and religious teach
ings pointed to some ancient point Of
contact with the white races across
the eastern ocean.
| u
| And now, excepting for the almost
lost relics of their race scattered
among the mingled bloods of Spanish
conquerors and Indian tribes
| That ancient race is lost.
1 Their heaped-up treasure of gold
and silver revitalized Europe.
| 1t helped to open up the conquests
of Asia.
1t laid the foundations of the COM
ing industrial age, by stimulating
world commerce.

of gold.
