Uncle Ray
HiaWatha.

PERHAPS the most powerful In
dians north of Mexico were the
Iroquois, who ranged south of Lake
Erie, Lake Ontario and the st. Law
renee River. During or about the
year 1870 five great tribes Of Iroquois
blood joined together-they were the
Mohawk, Seneca. Cayuga. Oneida and
Onandaga Tribes, and they formed
what came to be known as 1.-The Five
Nations
Both the Mohawks and the Oman
dagas have laid claim to Hiawatha.
At any event, he was an Iroquois
leader, and it was his advice which
led to the union of the tribes. In
later years a sixth tribe, the Tusca-
rora, joined the group.
Hiawatha lived about four centuries
ago, and his name means Maker of
Rivers" That much seems to be
history, but legends have gathered
around his name. We are told that
he taught his people how to raise corn
and beans, and that he showed them
how to clear the streams of beaver
dams and other objects which blocked
them. 1t is stated that he owned
magic canoe which would move with
out being padded. At the end of his
life. on the day after his plan Of
union was adopted, he went away in
his canoe and passed to the Island
of the Blessed"
The poet Longfellow used the name
of Hiawatha as the title of poem
which has become famous. The poem
is not entirely about the true Hia-
watha. Part of it grew out of tales
told by Chippewa Indians about
Manabozho and other gods of their
tribe.
The Chippewa Indians used to dwell
in woodlands around Lake Huron and
Lake Superior, and in northern parts
of the Mississippi Valley.
In a small stream which passes
through Minneapolis. are Minnehaha
Falls. They have the same name as
the maiden who marries Hiawatha in
Longfellow's poem. The meaning of
| "Minnehaha" has been given as
Laughing Water" but the real mean
ing of the Indian name appears to be
waterfall"
Longfellow's great poem is read by
thousands of school pupils. and it de-
serves to rank high in the world of
literature.

you do? Do you whip the horse, or
do you throw off part of the load?
The answer to this will indicate
whether or not you are humane man.
To apply the whip stimulates the
horse to greater activity for time, Of
course. All the time, however, you
are coming rapidly to the end of the
horses ability to pull even his ordi-
nary load. 1t will not be long till even
the whip cannot arouse him to greater
effort.
This is a fair illustration Of what
we do to the colon when we apply any
stimulant to its overworked function.
It accounts for the fact that when one
whip has worn out its effects we have
to use other and more compelling
whips, or stimulants, to secure any
effect at all.

6R. AND MRS. QUACK had
hu been in the Smiling Pool sew
Y eral days and already they
were looking much better
than when they arrived.
They found some food there, but
more over on the Big River. There
they had to watch for gunners, but
they had learned at what hours there
was the least danger and they stayed
only long enough to get the needed
food. Then they returned to the
Smiling Pool, where no hunter ever
came, for this was on Farmer Browns
land and he allowed no hunters there.
II wish we didn't have to leave
here at ALL" said Mrs. Quack. "If
only there was enough food here we
wouldn't until the coming of ice. 1t
is such a wonderful feeling to feel
safe even for little while
1t was the very next day, on their
return from the Big River just after
they had settled down in the Smiling
Pool, that Mr.. Quack discovered in
the shallow water what he knew in
stantly must be corn that had been
scattered there while they were away.
Instantly he was in the air with a
cry of alarm and Mrs. Quack followed.
What is it, my dear?" she asked
as she drew alongside of him. Il
didn't see any cause for alarm. Did
you see an enemy?"
NO. confessed Mr.. Quack. mo. I
didn't see an enemy, but I saw the

it: there is corn scattered there.

In the early Spring his gentle
"coo, COO COO" is soft and tender as
it floats over the quiet marshes. The
bittern has a range over temperate
North America and Northern South
America, and breeds in the Southern
States. You should be able to see him
or his family.
Though his favorite haunts are in
grassy pond edges, marshes, where
there is fresh or salt water. he gets
through the tangled jungles with
ease. I wish you could see him stalk
ing through the stems. His long neck
is stretched forward, his long, dull
green legs step lightly over the debris
and his markings blend so perfectly
with his surroundings that it is with
difficulty you keep track of him
Sometimes he lets you get almost

is wrong. North should lose one heart,
one spade, one diamond and either
two or three clubs But West refused
to win the first heart finesse. and
Ayres, in retaliation. refused to take
the flneSSe a second time Instead, he
went up with the ace in dummy on
the second heart play. and returned
small spade to his hand 1t was
no problem to drive out East'S king
of spades, and East, having nothing
better to do. played back another
diamond, which was taken by the ace
in dummy. Now two good spades
were cashed. on which North dis
carded two clubs. and East threw a
diamond. A small club was led from
dummy.
All is not lost if West plays the Jack
of clubs on that trick, but since he had
failed to rise to the occasion before.
there is no reason to assume that he
would do so at this point. The ten
of clubs was won by Easts ace. East
played back his last diamond West
won the trick, and was a trif1e baff1ed.
Naturally he couldn't play hearts into
dummys ten-ace. so he returned the
jack Of clubs. North simply refused
to cover. East was helpless. 1t does
him no good to overtake. North makes
three no trumps any way.

"Printer's Devil"

THE most live and picturesque part
L of every language is the pa
tois of the handicrafts. And fore
most in this category is the phrase
printers devil" referring, as many
of us know, to the handy boy in a
printing plant.
1t has been casually accepted that
the term owes its origin to the fact
that the handy boy was usually coal
black of ink However. another log
ical and more colorful explanation
for the derivation of printers devil
is revealed in an old story. Accord
ing to this version, the earliest use
of the metaphor was by Aldus
Manutius. celebrated Venetian printer
of the sixteenth century.
1t happened that rumor spread
that a colored slave possessed by
Manutius was an evil genius. At
first Manutius paid no attention to
these superstitious reports. Finally
he determined to end them, which
he did, by printing the following
notice:
Il, Aldus Manutius, printer to the
holy church, have this day made
public exposure of the printers devil
All who think he is not flesh and
blood are invited to step up and pinch
him."

Everyday Psychology

Intuition.

BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Intuition.
1T IS popularity believed that in
L tuition is a special ability. more
reliable than any other way Of figur-
ing out who's who and what's what.
1t is also popularly believed that
women possess this special ability in
greater amounts than do men.
In everyday affairs, chiefly the per-
sonal things, women can tell you the
details of a strangers dress. These
are the very things that almost every
man fails to notice. On that score
women make the better witnesses in
any court that seeks to identify people
who have been seen only for q mo-
ment.
This matter of observing details
has often been mistaken for intuition.
for the little details Of ones ap-
pearance sometimes speak louder than
words. Let us call it what it IS
ability to observe details. It is not
intuition, which really means some
thing else, If it means anything at ALL
AS to intuition itself, psychologists
find that there is not much to be
said for it, except that it is the ability
to relate the now to the then. The
whole question Of intuition turns out
to be a question Of experience with
specific types of situations.
An artist "intuitively" sees certain
possibilities for painting in the de-
tails of given landscape. A real
estate agent ''intuitively' sees GER
tain possibilities in establishing there
a city or park. An Army officer
"intuitively" figures out how he would
arrange a tactical formation against
an attacking army. After all, we see
the things we are in the habit of
seeing. That's the meaning Of in
tuition.

?"Ii"'0~ 'hct are instrumental
In producing the most sought-after
effects in sports fashions this season.
Our pattern for this outfit is Britishly
smart, splendidly simple, and so eco
nomical that the minimum yardage
is required. Any one who sews will
enjoy making it.
Two materials are smarter than
one, and smartest of all is the cos
tune which combines one fabric in
the jacket and another in the skirt.
Such a model is this one with the
jacket of dark velveteen and the skirt
of bold plaid wool.
This type of attire is having
great success this year. The jacket
is finger-tip length approximately,
a favorite in this year of varying
lengths. The back is yoked, and has
pleats that expand in action. The
collar is youthful and becoming to
all ages and types of faces. The fas-
tening is reduced to two capable but
tons.
A nice thing about this jacket is
that it looks right, whether it is worn
as tailored overblouse or as sep
arate jacket over thin blouse. The
slightly slouchy fit is smart, and
something to be cultivated in sports
clothes.

cant set any time more definite than
the indefinite future, you'll be giving
me the still additional pleasure of
more or less permanent pleasant

On the contrary. she mite find it

his partner had played the cards.
Both opponents also congratulated
Ayres, although why West was not
