success 'of a great' invention
rotten depends upon some auxiliary
discovery to make it practicable. With
out the telegraph, tdoderh railrtfactfng
would have been impassible* Without
-the air-brake, the high speed of the
great
exPress
b€en
trains could not have-
Permitted- To-day the electric!
HSw? automobile, which is much heavier
.than the steam-power carriage, would
be,
given a great impetus by the dis-
ct"rery
something better than the
Wfoikx present rubber tires. The great weight
and swUt motlonjj,of the carriage upon
cough! aasejvt tires to wear
,s out^#l^#v Wi&tf, will iome first, a
iiglxter electric storage battery or a
firmer elastic substance for the tires?
The history of inventions suggests
that one or the other will appear at an
early date.
S-^rhe.real r^asofl behind the projected
ehip' canhl throfagh Nicaragua or the
Isthmus of Panama, which is now en
grossing SQ/nluch attention, is the fact
that gdSSs may be transported more
easily on the water than over the land.
Examples in every-day life emphasize
the difference. Two mules, draw one
hundred tons of coal in a canal boat
on land they would have difficulty in
tugging three or four tons in a coal
cart Hence, whatever the power used,
water-born^ freights the world, over
are cheap and land routes are dear.
This consideration greatly affects the
growth of cities and of nations. Pitts
burg coal and Lake Superior ores are
near together, because they can be
transported so great a part of the dis
tance by water. It also largely ac
counts for America's prominence as a
great steel-producing country. Stove
coal is usually cheap in places to which
it can go by water and high where it
must go by rail. The same is true of
all bulky and heavy" commodities.

In the mountains west of the big
gorge lived the tribe of Cappa Tom,
and the chieftain of the tribe, Singing
Water, was proud of his 500 braves,
who were tall and lithe arid strong
and mighty huntsmen and he was
proud of the buxom squaws -and the
fat. papooses in the mountain camp.
No enemy in the region for a hundred
leagues about "dared give battle to
Singing Water, for the fame of his
braves had spread even to the great
forest on the north and the marsh
lands on the south.
Once upon a time, so the legend
says,, Singing Water found among the
children in the tepees a poor little
papoose, a shrunken diminutive dwarf
child, of whom the other Indian boys
made sport and forbade him their
amusement so "Little Injin" would
sit cross-legged apart from his fellows,
and watch them at play.
Chief Singing Water sent for him
one day, and to the trembling, shrink
ing, little figure before him he grunted
words of disapproval,and with a frown
on his face he spoke to "Little In
jin."
"Ha! Little Injin. You good not at
all. You very small! You crooked
like manzanilla tree you sick like dy
ing squaw you ugly like stinking fox
you can no fight, you can-no hunt. So,
ugh! You go old squaw you grind
acorns, you make fires, you cook, like
squaw. Little Injin, you no* good."
When the words wer« uttered a
•change came over the, face' and form
of Little injin. He stbod as 'erect as
his crooked limbs would permit, and
with a set, stern face and an angry
voice he dared answer Singing*Water.
"Big chief, you say Little Injin no
S°°d. Little Injin sick Little Injin
crooked Little Ipjin ugly Little Injin
no fight Little Injin no hunt only
giind acorns and make fires for squaw.
Little Injin no more stay with .you
Little Injin go far off you see Little
Injin no more!"
Tie hffbbled artvay' rrom the presence'
of Singing Water, and that night he
[V4
left the camp, and through the long
hours until, the dawn of another day
he limped alofig the path that led to
nowhere in particular. By the light
of-the moon he crossed the creeks and
the small streams, and the stars point
ed him a way over, the hills and
through the valleys.
Finally Little Jnjin reached the sum
mit of a. high mountain, and lay down
to rest h|s tired limbs. He" was faint
and sore and could not eat the ber
ries that grew in abundance on the
mountain slope, he cipuld not sleep,'for
hi? eyes would constantly- fill with
tears. He lay there for a long time, a
sobbing in his throat, a patter of tears
falling on his moccasins.
Then a good spirit came on the
mountain top, and touched him light
ly on the shoulder. It was like a
woman's touch—like his *mcither%back
in the land of Singing Water.
"Little Injin, what for you cry?"
said the good spirit and the lad hid
his face in fright, and his sobs only
increased.
"Little Injin, no -get scared," reas
sured the good spirit. "You no be
afraid of good spirit, but say What for
you cry."
Little Injin dried his tears anil be
tween his sobs he said:
"Great chief of my people, no like
Little Injin he say me tbo little he
say me too sick he say me too crook
ed he say me too ugly me no can
fight, me no can hunt, me no good: Me
go away."
"Bftt Little Injin must go back to his
people," said- the good spirit "you
must speak to them and tell the chief
and his braves that you are going far
away to live in big valley, where you
will find pretty squaw. Then some
years more papoose will come, and he
will grow big and strong. Then he
will go back to your people, and make
big chief and his braves all afraid of
him. You go now, Little Injin, back
to your people in the mountain.
Some,days late# Little Injin reached
his': old home, arid following the direc
tions of the good spirit he talked to
Singing Water and the braves, and he
told them what-he proposed to do.
They laughed him to scorn and de
clared that in-all the land Little Injin
.could find no squiaw. But, determined
jto folio# tlie advice of the good spirit,
'Little Injin now left his people, and
he journeyed to a valley far in the
east, where he ipet an Indian girl who
^beeaAe 'his squaw. Then came a
papoose' to Little Injin, and he grew
and fie grew, until he was over six
feet tall.and had' the strength ofia hear
and the fleetness of the deer. All the
other .Indians In the valley became
afraid of him, and he was soon known
far and widR-aa a great hunter and a
&
Then the good spirit again called on
Little Injin and said to him:
"Little Injin, you go now back to
your people. Takp your son, the, big
Injin, and tell, him to call all his
braves in the valley and go with you
with their bows and arrows., their
beads and war paint,,to fight the In
dians of the mountain."
The Indians of the valley marched
upon the long journey to the moun
tain the very next day. Meanwhile a
bad spirit,' Tn the form of a woodpeck
er, from his nest in the mountain, saw
the valley Indians approach across
the plain. So he flew as fast as he
could to the camp of Singing Water,
and he warned him and his people.
"The big Injin and his braves from the
great valley are coming to make war
otf you, and I warn you not to run but
to fight them.- You can easily whip the
big Indian and his braves."
The next day a great battle- was
fought between the, Indians of the
mountain and those of the valley and
the legend tells the result In these few
words: "Mountain Injin nb run away
he fight valley Injin. Valley Injin
heap kill Mountain Injin he strong,
he brave, he not sick, he not crooked,
he not ugly. He fight like wild cat
Mountain Injin he say got enough
fight he smoke peace pipe. Very
well, Valley Injin he stay in moun
tain he no go home he send for Lit
tle Injin, now old man, J:o come back
to hfe people. Then Valley Injin make
Singing Water pay money—Injin
money make him grind Corn make
him cook make all Injins of moun
tain cook same as squaw while Val
ley Injin he hunt, he fish, he fight.
Little Injin—very old Injin—he now
big chief he laugh, he cry no. more
he see his big papoose he smile he
much happy Injin now."
EASY STYLE TO CATCH.'
Applying Journalist "IJfted" an Article
and Got the Place.
A good story is told of how a few
years ago a reckless, careless, but
brilliant Scotch journalist got a posi
tion on the London Dr.ily Telegraph.
For some escapade iK'-E!dinburg he lost
his place on a naffer there. .* He an
nounced to his fifiends that he was go
ing to London*1 to seek hiSi fortune.
They celebra-ted his departure, for sev
eral nights running, so when the
young injin turned up in London one
monUajj he felt rather limp '§nd dis
coujaged. He had scarcely a penny
his pocket, so, although he felt
imself not at his best mentally, he
went off at once to Fleet street and
asked the editor of the Telegraph for
work. "What can you do?" asked the
editor. And the applicant, feeling that
he must make ^tremendous bid, re
plied, "Anything, fi "Anything?" '%es,
anything." "VerjA'well, I think prob
ably, you'r^ tliV 'man we wantT "f
will leave you quite alon^ fori
half an hour then I will -come
'back and you must have an -arti
cle ready." "On what?" asked'the
Scotchman. "On 'anything,' answered
the editor. For five minutes the youhg
man sat despairing. He didn't seem
to have even the ghost of an idea in
bis head. Finally an, impu4e.pt inspi
ration-came. Around ihe robm^were
files of the Telegraph. He pulledVone
out, about eight years old, andChur
riedly turning the leaves, came to an
article by George Augustus Salqi' on
London streets. Seizing" copy paper
and a pen he raced the clock and
jammed the. file back into its ^place
only a minute before the grave editor
returned. This gentleman looked over
the article which the Edinburgh man
had "just dashed off" and said: "I
think I can 'find a place for you. jSyou
seem to catch our style.' —Satfcday

be much anore for hlib tb'do' until:^fter
the arrival of some of the latest trains.
Suddenly the door opened and in r»&hed
a gue3t who had -been staying there
for a day or two, and, pointing to the
clock on the wall, asked: "Isli dot

said Mr. Brown, as he inade n^te of

hurried and excited man, "I vants to

Brown. "You may. But don't be gone
long. We shall miss you." The -man
was too anxious to catch his train to

"kidding" him. He only answered as

exceed 333,000,000. Every village) has

and appears in three forms—Bralima,
the creator, Vishnu, the preserve? and
Siva, the destroyer. Each of the ihrep
is, supposed-tq^ be married, and thus
there are six deittes which are supreme
in India. Vishnus%Jie preserver^' the

The New York servant has found a"
way of revenging herself upon an un#'

keep a servant for a teyr days. The4
scheme is simple. The departing do^*
