Los-Hauler's Suspicions Bads of Good
Joke on One Popular Indian
apoHs Citizen.
The return pf Major Fred Bates
Johnson fo civilian life in Indianapolis
recalls a story about htm that has
been bottled up long "enough.
In the days before he was a major
or a captain (or even a private he
used to go down to Salem for week-end
visits witli Walter Crlra particularly
in the seasonsi when the strawberry or
the fried chicken or the sassafras crop
was ripe. His; 'comings were frequent-
ly if not often unannounced but he
knew all the sTgns and pass words! into
Crlm's office ahd lumber yard and he
would go in and wait for the coming of
one or the other member of the firm
or telephone to see whether there was
room for him up. "at the shack."
One Saturday morning he came in in
this way and it happened that while
he was down on his knees tryiBg to
put back a roller that had slipped
from the legs of one of the office
chairs a lof-hauler arrived on the
scene. Being of an inquisitive disposi-
tion the log-hauler tried to find out
what a stranger was doing down 'on
his. knees in 'Crira's office but as all
who know Major Johnson will easily
believe the information which he re-
ceived was not wholly-satisfactory.
And on Sunday night Crlm's safe
was cracked!
Early Monday morning as soon as
the news of the robbery Became
known the log-hauler came tushus
down to the lumber yard.
"Say" he called excitedly "I can
tall vou who did that! There was an
awful suspicious looking fellow in liere
Saturday morning when noboqy vns
around a little chap with yellow hair
and great big glasses. I'll bet ne was
thP miv that cracked 'er." But the in
formant left the office somewhat crest-
fallen when he was told In no uncer
tain language just who that "Auspicious-looking
fellow." was. Indian-
apolis Kews.

HOW INDIANS FIGHT "FLU"
Heroic Remedy Which Unfortunately!
Does Not Always Seem to Have
The Desired Effect.
While Americans of convention and
medical knowledge are bundling'them-
selves up land conducting a civilized
fight against Influenza throughout thn
nation other Americans are discard-
ing convention and clothing for the
same purpose out where homes of
men are far apart.
On the Flathead reservation in Mon-
tana when a descendant of warriors
feels the symptoms coming on he flat-
foots it to his tepee. He grunts terse
orders and a squaw squats before the
fire and hashes up a concoction in
a five-gallon can which is a brew of
balsam fir boughs mixed with one
pint of more or less illegitimate
whisky.
Then ho saunters to the 'sweating
tepee." A large" "vessel of 'water is
placed in; the center of that rag house
and into (the vessel are dropped red-
hot stones. The medicine is then
ready. The Indian who sneezed drinks
the brew inhales the steam whoops
with gusto and races for the creek.
Neither the ward nor the govern-
ment has anything on him as he
plunges Unto the cold creek water.
He crawls out dripping shivering and
"cured." The funeral usually is held
oo the following day.

Trie typical prospector for gold still
met kvlth in the far hills and deserts
may well be taken by all men as an
example' and an Inspiration as far as
the blessings of staying hopes are
concerned says the Los Angeles
Times.
"Hope deferred mnketh the heart
sick" says the proverb. But It Is not
a eood proverb. No matter how long
deferred a hope may be It should
never be abandoned. It should never
be anything but an .Inspiration and an
incitement.
Take this nomadic tribe of prospec-
tork for instance. The typical pros-
pector Is a man who has spent per-
hniis the most of his life pursuing a
hope that has never been realized. Yet
we never find them discouraged. We
never know them to end their dnys
Indespair. No matter how many the(r
years of failure may be they will tell
you that just beyond the next chain
of Ihills or in the heart of a still unex
plored desert the treasures they seek
are surely awaiting them.
A most sincere and persistent man
Is the prospector. Ho believes in his
quest and respects It The little or
the much that he wins by spasmodic
toll he invests In his dreams. He
braves the solitudes and the loneVy
wastes of the world to reach the goal
for which he strives. Hunger thirst
and other hardships and sufferings he
endures with a willing heart
And he never despairs." That's the
glory of the prospectot? he never de-
spairs. .
The average man hedged in by the
traditions of towns and cities or set-
tled In the humdrum of the country
looks upon the prospector as a queer
and somewhat demented individual.
We laugh at this strange fellow who
is pictured to us as plodding along in
the wildernesses and the sandy deso-
lations with his pack and his burro
following the will-o'-the-wisps of for
tune.
But the prospector is only doing in
his way what we are doing In ours.
We are following each our own dream
as the prospector is following his.
The only difference is that we pro-
ceed in safety and without adventure.
Otherwise we are the same as the
wanderer of the desert and the hills.
And also we are soon discouraged and
we are easy prey to defeat while it is
death alone that can defeat the pros-
pector. it seems to us that of all the mis-
fortunes there are in life and heaven
knows .there " are many the misfor-
tune of hopelessness Is the worst.
"Only for liope the heart would die"
said a poet. It was a true thing to
say.
And about this wonderful thing of
hope there Is another way to look at It
and that is that we should always
have at least one hope ahead. That
Is to say we should always have some-
thing that we look forward to. Then
If what we hnve in hand fails us the
other thing that we look forward to
will stay us.
Hope Is something to be busy with.
It Is something of which we should
accumulate a store. Always have
plenty of hopes and have them so that
they will reach out and last away Into
the years of the future.
There Is really something mysteri
ous about a hope. If you will cherish
it faithfully and keep it warm In your
heart you "will be almost sure to some-
time realize it. 'It is said that we are
what we believe ourselves to be. But
perhaps we might better say that we
are what our hopes are.
Sfnce then n long-cherished hope is
most likely to. be realized surely It
were foolish of us to harbor hopes' that
will no't bring us comfort and joy.
Hope for the best there Is not great
rlqhes not any material possession
but peace for the heart and a serene
path for the white years of old age.
Among the happy rejoicings of
these victory days we are inexpress
ibly glnd. that the war did not end
until the unspeakable Turk was well
started down the toboggan of detent
toward the bottomless pit' writes Dr.
Charles Edward Locke. It Is a mighty
triumph for democracy: With Jerusa-
lem and Damascus In the liands of the
Christians and with Constantinople
no longer destfcrntetl as the capital of a
filthy Mohammedanism the foul Turk
is now getting his long-delnyed de-
serts. Constantinople was named for
a zealous Christian prince. It was
madjB the Imposing headquarters of jtho
GreeK church and a beautiful temple
was built in the year 537 by Justinian
which Is so stately and gorgeous that
this proud builder on the dedication
day exclaimed: "O. Solomon I have
surpassed thee!"
But In 1453 the city was captured
by the sacrllegeous and infidel Sara
cen and for 405 years it'has been
the center of Moslem worship and
propaganda. It Is beautifully situ-
ated on the western slopes of theN
Bosporous and looks out upon the
picturesque Marmora. Justinian's min-
ister grand was transformed into
n Moslem mosque. All the altars and
crosses and frescoes and Inslgnlndf
Christianity were ruthlessly removed
and for nearly five centuries Instead
of the worship of the most high. God
resounding beneath a wonderful domia
which Michael Angelo said was like
n part of thb heavens brought down
to earth It has been the scene of Mck
hammedau mummeries and semi-pagan
idolntrj'i
' With the victories of this war ho
doubt magnificent Santa Sophia will
be restored and -once again the
praises of Christ will resound through
sanctuary and cloister; and the mar
velous fresco of Jesus and ids ''disci
ples in the high dome which for cen-'
turles has been concealed behind the
incrustntions of a detestable Moslem
Ism will once again utter Its lusplr-
IngNnnd artistic messages to reverent
Christian worshipers. The overthrow
of the Turk is not only a triumph of
democracy but it Is likewise a; mighty
victory for the truth and justice which
are Interpreted to the world by the gos-
pel of the Son of God and the Sen of
Man Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Until the savage Prussiaa Hun ap-
peared the Turk had Conferred upon
him tl" Ignominy of being the most
brntal degenerate of all human
history. A religion of lust re-enforced
by the bloody scimlter the Turk cut
his way through human . bodies to an
Ignoble plhce pt power in Europe" and
Asia and his murderous hate venting.
Itself on the defenseless. Christians aud
especially upon the innocent Arme-
nians. With the collapse of the Turkish
government "the Dardanelles will be-
come a highway for the commerce of
the free nntlons of the world in place
of a waterway held by pirates;". the
Balkan terror comes to an end arid
the Ignoble crescent fades out of sight
before the Increasing effulgence of the
blazing cross of the Christ of truth
and freedom.
The years have waited long for the
tremendous historic events which are
now being enacted in bewildering suc-
cession. It was only yesterday that
there were four powerful autocracies
that seemed so Intrenched In opulence
and might that the centuries would
not overthrow; but today Russia nnd
Austrln and Turkey and Germany;
nave all fallen and great has been
the fall thereof; the twilight of the
kings has deepened Into night and the
dawn of universal democracy- Is al
ready reddening the eastern sky with
premonitions of tlie new day of the
people; and the harbingers of the
morning are shouting on nil hilltops
and In all lnnguages "Proclaim lib
erty throughout all the land and to all
the inhabitants thereof."
Kindness to AnTmais and .People.
So mucht of. childish cruelty Is
thoughtless 'that the help to be ob-
tained from Bands of Mercy 4 Is ap-
parent To make a boy understand the
misery that his airgun and his fish
hook" may cause "to show the cowardly
cruelty In throwing stones nnd In hurfcr
Ing innocent and defenseless creatures
this is what the Band of Mercy may
accomplish.
There .Is abundant testimony from
teachers who have introduced humane
teaching into their schools to the effect
that the children are not only kinder
in the lower animals but al3o more
thoughtful and considerate toward
each other.
Wo want our boys and girls to he
strong and brave but in nn wny can
their strength and ; bj;n very be- made
more certain than in protecting the
weak and helpless.

Hanaina Between the Two.
Last summer tlie Hulman brothers
at Terre Haute gave the Rose Poly-
technic the grounds for the new
school-. The year before that they
gave the land for Calvary cemetery.
One Of their townsmen recently met
Herman the younger brother on his
way to his farm which is between the
-two pieces of ground above mentioned.
'Well Herman he remarked srailing-
lr. "I see you've solved that often
disputed question of whether we
shouljl. consider1 our cemeteries or
seminaries of the more importance."
Mir. Hulman looked at him and then
his eyes twinkled. "Not exactly solved
it" he drawled. "You know where my
farm lis. Well you see I'm "still -just

New Uses of Raw Products.
The -Welt market directs attention to
new uses of some raw products. In
Holland a useful gum or paste is being
made from garlic. The bulbs are
pressed and the juice or fluid matter
so obtained Is thickened by inspjssa-
tion. A good substitute for .cork is ob-
tained from certain fungi which are
drled nnd groimu mixed wjth cement
and consolidated by pressure. In Nor-
way n process has been patented to
enablo carbldeo be used for driving
motors. In Denmark a company has
been floated fo make briquettes from
heather. These have u higher heat
value than peat. Experiments .are bo
Ing made to use chalk marl especially
that which comes from the Llraburg
mines as ji mnnure.
Submarine in Warfare.
In spite of the fact that the British
'have some steam-driven 2700-ton sub-
marines capable of a surface speed of
from 120 to 25 knots the submarine as
a weapon of war .Is too slow and too
blind when It Is submerged to bo con-
sidered a serious weapon of naval
warfare. When it" can see electrically
-to a distance often to fifteen miles
while It Is submerged so "deeply as to
be Invisible to the air scout and when
It can steam 20 knots submerged it
will dominate the naval sllualioB.
