Important Time to Exercise Is When
Man Is Busy; Recreation Necessary

self down on couch and wait for
the night.
BIT if his WEAKNESS is from nerv-
Gus work, many a man has found
that physical recreation removes
his fatigue and makes a new man
of him for the evening. This
will not be the case if the fatigue
is muscular.
For most persons occupied with a
profession or business the best time
of the day for recreation is late
afternoon, finishing the activity
preferably an hour before dinner.
Particularly is this a good time if
there is to be work of an intellectual
character in the evening.
In spite of the fad some years
ago Of taking calisthenic exercises
Immediately after rising, that is not
a good time, since the vitality as
shown by such things as body tenn
perature and blood pressure is at a
low ebb then.

he would indeed disappear for good

he would stand upon the order of his

to live.

The most important time of all for

exercise is when he has no time

magazine.
'sIf he is so driven by this and
that that he doesn't have minute
for such unnecessary fol-de-rol it is
almost essential that he take the

Venturesorne Historian

FRANCIS PARKMAN. the, famous
i American historian, born in Bos-
ton in 1923 and educated at Har-
ward, underwent. terrific hardships
to gather material for his books.
One of the most famous of these
was his history of the Oregon trail.
In order to get a thorough under
standing of the people and country
he was to describe, he lived among
the Sioux.
Some historians have said he was
entertained" by the Indians, but
tortured" might be better word.
The Oglala Sioux were the fiercest
savages of their day. AS Park
mans hosts they would tell him
stories of how they killed their en-
emies by holding them down in huge
fires with poles until they burned to
death.
Once, while being entertained"
by the Sioux, the eldest squaw came
in, grabbed small dog by the
hind leg and took it to the entrance
of the lodge. There she hit it on
the head several times with rock
until it was dead. Then she swung
it back and forth in the fire until
all the hair was burned off. Next
she cut it up into small pieces and
dropped them into pot that was
stewing above the fire.. ssS TsA'
A dog feast was the greatest treat
"a Sioux could offer a guest and
Parkman forced himself to eat it.
Z The " hardships he underwent
brought him i'll health from which
he suffered for the rest of his life.
Yet, besides writing many famous
historical books, he became over
seer of Harvard in 1868, professor
Of horticulture in 1869 and from 1875
to 1888 he was a Harvard fellow.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
The Worst bad Man
Elmo Scott Watson

THE life of Alexander Harvey,
4 one of the worst "bad men, of
the fur trading days of more than
century ago, was just one murder
after another. That isn't the kind of
career to glorify, but there Is no
denying that if you can get away
with it, there is adventure in it.
His first murder was in 1910 at
Fort Mckenzie when he shot a mild
hammered employee after first maxi
ing him kneel down before him. He
reported that Blackfoot Indian did
the killing and no one had the cour-
age to contradict him.
Later that year, while travelling to
Fort Union, he quarreled with his
companion and shot him through the
head. While at the fort, he was
bitterly hated, especially by Span
lard, Isodoro. In the presence of a
group of people including the COM
mander of the fort, he killed Iso-
doro and then challenged those pres
ent to do something about it. None
would dare.
Back at Fort Mckenzie a short
while later, the commander was or
dered away and friend of Har-
vey's was left in charge. The two
of them admitted a group of Indians
to the fort and then discharged a
cannon into the crowd as they were
coming in the gate. Three Indians
were killed and three wounded. in
Guiding chief. Harvey killed the
wounded chief with his knife and
scalped him.
Although Harvey was responsible
for many other murders, all of them
brutal, and although he was thor
oughly hated, he was never punished
for single one of them. But there
were so many plotting his death that
he had to spend his last years skulk-
ing in the Missouri river bottoms.

Colorado's Mystery Man

IN THE early sixties an intellectu-
L al gentleman with strong bearded
features arrived at Georgetown,
Colo, and Immediately became a
celebrity of the local mountain
country. He called himself Com
modore Stephen Decatur and since
there had been two previous Stephen
Decaturs in American history, both
of whom were commodores, his
identity was looked upon with suspi-
cion.
Georgetown residents soon found
that the commodore seemed to get
a great deal of fun out of living. He
got along well with everyone, espe-
cially the ladies. He was the towns
greatest booster, an advocate Of
good roads and the development of
mines.
He became associate editor of the
Georgetown Miner, local paper, in
1869, and thenceforth increased his
popularity. He was fowery writ
er and first-rate drinker. At odd
moments, also, he would rattle off
Indian language-that of the Sioux,
Omaha, Ponca or Pottawatomie. Be-
cause of his ability to speak with
them, he was delegated the task of
settling all disputes with the In
dams.
In 1875 he was appointed Colo
radios commissioner to the Phila-
delphia exposition and he was cock
of the walk there, too. He was SO
entertaining that he was followed by
crowds wherever he went.
But he was recognized at the ex-
position as Stephen Decatur Bross,
brother Of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of
Illinois. He had disappeared from
Illinois and deserted his wife and
children. The publicity Of his dis
covery in Philadelphia ruined his
popularity in Colorado and he had to
retire to obscurity.
