NECKLACE FROM THE BRIDE'S BQUQUET
A pretty idea is to make beads
from the roses of the bride's bouquet,
and the bouquets of the bride’s at
tendant maids. Here is the recipe as
given by an old lady who has “pre
served” bouquets or roses in this
way. She says:
“I just put the petals through my
meat-chopper, scatter three grains
of copperas over the pulp and put it
through again a dozen times pr more,
using the finest knife. I then dry it
and roll bits of It in my hands to the
size of small peas.
“I lay out my beads on a plate, s*o
that they do not touch each other,
and put them out in the sun. Then I
string them on copper wire and lay
them out again in the sun. After
this I take them off the wire and
polish by tossing and rolling in a
bag. Next 1 dip each bead in a few
drops of rose oil and alcohol and
rub it between my hands until all the
moisture is absorbed. Then I soak
th^ beads in olive oil, dry and re
string them—and there you are.”—<
Montreal Herald. *

Don’t believe a word about then
being “as good fish in the sea as ever
were caught," writes a contributor
to the Philadelphia Record. It is a
silly and vulgar old saying, unworthy
of any true lover repeating it. Know'
that the man you love is a king
among men and should be treated so,
and see to it that you make yourself
a queen worthy to be his mate
Know that love is the most precious
gem that any lover could offer you,
and once you accept it at least take
the ordinary precautions that you
would take with jewels to see that it
is not misplaced or neglected.
If the love that you think you feel
does not make of you a new’ and
more generous creature than you
have, ever been before, beware of it
Kither your lover lacks sincerity or
your own honesty w’ill bear looking
into.
The girl who stoops to conquer love
—remember this—is never put on a
pedestal and worshipped by the man
she seeks to ensnare.

Cleaning the Icebox
The home icebox is a most im
portant factor in maintaining the
family health, and may be a decided
menace to it if it is not properly
looked after.
The drain pipe at its lower extrem
ity should always be closed to the
air.
Heated air rises; hence this outlet
pipe is a hot air conductor from the
kitchen to the interior of the ice box,
and pot only is the ice quickly melted,
but the air inside of the refrigerator
becomes warm, with the consequent
early spoiling of food. Secondly, the
air which goes up through this pipe
into the refrigerator is contaminated
by the emanations from decomposing
matter in the drip pan and in the
drain pipe running from this pan.
Thus we get noxious gases into direct
communication with the food and in
a comparatively warm atmosphere.
There is little wonder that under
these conditions food quickly becomes
spoiled.
It is the easiest thing in the world
to exclude from the refrigerator this
ascending hot impure air.
A table glass or fruit jar should
be placed in the drip pan under the
refrigerator in such manner that the
drain pipe extends into the glass a
short distance. As soon as the water
in the glass overflows, the opening of
the pipe is, of course, closed a* far as
the entrance of air is concerned, but
the water still flows most freely over
the top of the glass and into the drip
pan, in spite of any number of loose
pieces of food which may be washed
down through the pipe.—Exchange.
For Wasp Stings
There is no better remedy for wasp
stings than lemon Juice. Continue to
apply at Intervals of ten or fifteen
minutes until the pain ceases.
To free your summer-soiled skin of its
oilines*. muridlness, freckles, blotches or
tan, the best thing to do Is to free your
self of the skin itself. This is easily ac
complished by the use of ordinary merco
llzed wax, which can be had at any drug
store. TTse at night as you use cold cream,
washing it off in the morning. Imme
diately the offending surface skin begins
to come off in fine powder-like particles,
(irmluully the entire cuticle Is absorbed,
without pain or inconvenience. The sec
ond layer of skin now in evidence presents
a spotless whiteness nn.d sparkling
beauty obtainable In no other w’«y.
If the heat tends to loosen and wrinkle
your skin, there’s an effective and harm
less remedy you cun readily make at.
home. Juat let an ounce of powdered
saxolite dissolve In a half-pint witch
hazel and bathe your face in the liquid.
This at once tightens the akin and
smooths out the lines, making you look
years youngjj^ ^ ...

Have You Noticed?
"Have you noticed how tremendous
ly Charlotte's figure has improved
lately? She uned to be one of those
people who stuck out in front and be
hind quite an ugly way. But now she
seems to be so much better balanced
than she was. Do you think she has
been going in for a course of physical
culture?”
"No, I don't. Charlote hasn't the
time to waste on physical culture.
She has only taken to wearing a gown
with the new pocket skirt," says the
Philadelphia Enquirer.
"In these skirts the drapery sticks
out at the sides Just below the line
of the hips, so that it balances the
figure and quite takes away that big
before-and-behind look which some
women have.
"It is such a becoming style for
anyone whose figure is not quite ideal.
You see, when you are wearing It
no one who looks at you can tell
which Is the dress and which Is you.
"So they give the dress credit for
n|l the bunchiness, and you credit
for all the pretty lines. It Is a style
which will prove most popular for
invalid gowns and teagowns, and
things of that kind.”
Suit-Skirts for Fall
|
While some long tunic skirts with
long coats are still being shown,
manufacturers have found It morn
advisable to make a straight line
skirt with the long coat, says the
Dry Goods Economist.
Among the favorite modes are ma
chine or side-pleated skirts. These
look particularly well under long
coats. Other typ^s of skirts are be
ing shown, however, including ac
cordion plaits and cluster pleats.
Others have pleated panels back and
front, and some have only a few
pleats inset at the side gores.
Many yoke skirts are being made
for fall and are looked upon with
favor. In some instances the skirts
have belts. These are placed ovei
the hips and are buttoned down the
front, giving the yoke effect.
When the short coat is employed,
however, the long tunic skirt is often
used in conjunction with it.
Household Deodorizer
An excellent household deodorizer
Is a little pan of cloves which have
been sprinkled with a few drops of
spirits of lavender.
Put a few bits of charcoal into the
bottom of the pan. If the charcoal Is
not convenient some bits of orange
peel will do, as they soon turn into
charcoal. Sprinkle the cloves liber
cll> on these, and when wanted to
perfume the house place on the stove
until they begin to smoke.
The fumes will soon penetrate the
house, and is very much like the odor
of the carnation. It will effectively
cover the cooking odors, as of fish,
cabbage, turnips and the like.

It was a merry party that started
for the hay fields. *The farm horses
' humped lazily along the rutty
' country roads, and the wheels of
the big wagon creaked loudly with
every turn, until Dorothy looked
down at them in alarm, expecting
the wagon to fall apart most any
minute.
But It didn’t, and after It. bumped
its way successfully into several
holes and out of them Dorothy
ceased to worry.
Presently they left the roads to
turn up a grassy lane, past two
cornfields.
Farmer Jones jumped out of the
wagon, let down the bars of a log
fence. Then Jim, the hired man,
drove into the hay field, and every
body scrambled out. Everywhere
were fragrant mounds of drying
hay. Father Dear threw himself on
one, sniffing deeply and crying that
it made him a boy again.
"My, it takes me back,” said
father Dear.
Dorothy threw herself down, too.
"It smells so sweet and is as soft
as a cushion,” *she cried merrily,
and then her tone changed; ”oo-ooh! ;
There’s a funny bug on my sleeve, j
and here’s another on my wrist, |
and oo-oo-ooh! A big one on my
neck!” And Dorothy scrambled to
her feet very quickly, brushing her
self with all her might.
"Pooh! Who’s afraid of bugs?
Only girls are,” declared Davie,
rolling in the hay to prove how
brave he was. "Look at me, I>or- I
othy; I don’t mind ’em at all. Why,
I like ’em.” And he held out his :
hand to show his sister a big black
ant that was crawling about, won- !
dering just what he had found, no !
doubt.
'You’ll have to get used to the |
bugs If you want to be a real little !
country girl,” father Dear told Dor- j
othy; "none of them will hurt yoii.” I
Dorothy watched mother Dear
and nurse Nellie for a moment. !
The3r were sitting in the hay, not i
minding the bugs at all. And
at home mother Dear shivered if
she even saw a caterpillar. Dor
othy reminded her of this.
"Caterpillars are different; they’re
so fuzzy.” said mother Dear, as if
this explained everything.
Dorothy thought the matter over.
"Well, then,” she decided, "I’ll
try not to mind.”
And pretty soon the fun became |
so fast and furious that Dorothy
quite forgot to notice whether there
were bugs or not. Father Dear had
a great time helping farmer Jones
and Jim, the hired man, to pitch
the hay into the wagon. Mother
Dear and nurse Nellie sat in the
shade to watch them, crying every
little while to the children to he
very, very careful about the pitch
forks.
"When I was a little girl a boy
ran a pitchfork clear through my
shoe, toe and all,” she said with a
shudder.
“Did he mean to?” Davie stopped
in the midst of a romp to ask the
question.
"No. indeed! He didn’t see me.
And that’s why I w?ant you and
Dorothy to be careful. Mr. Jones,
or father, or Jim might not see you,
and suppose a pitchfork should go
through your toe!”
"Or m3' head,” added Davie, pil
ing on the horror, "it could go clear
through, couldn’t It?"
Mother Dear shook her head and
smiled as Davie returned to his
play.
“What are you going to do with a
child like that?” she demanded of ‘
nurse Nellie.
Nurse Nellie laughed. 6aylng that
MOTHER AS A SHOEMAKER i
When my baby got to the crawling
stage 1 used to find It very difficult
to keep his little pink toes warm and
covered. The young Turk poked them
through woolen bootees in no time,
and seemed to think that tiny kid
shoes were only put on so that ha
might have the pleasure of kicking
them off.
At last, in despair, I turned shoe
maker myself, and determined to
make a comfy little pair of slippers
that would stay on.
First I unearthed a pair of old
elbow-length tan gloves of my own,
and then proceeded to cut out a sole
and upper from each arm, with a pair
of bought shoes as a pattern.
At the same time I cut out a lining
of a firm material to make my handi
work quite firm and neat. Then I
stitched the kid and lining of the
upper together on the wrong side and
Joined up the back of the heel after
wards turning the whole thing right
side out and stitching it all round.
The little bands I hemmed neatly
by hand and finished them off with
a brown button and buttonhole. Then
I stitched the sole—which I had
already Joined to its lining—to the
upper, inside out, of course, and
finally slip-stitched another lining to
the sole, to make it tidy.
In less than an hour my first at
tempt at shoemaking was finished,
and the baby had a comfy pair of
slippers which fitted his little feet
perfectly and absolutely refused to
be kicked off.
That was eight, months ago, and
baby still wears little brown shoes
made in the same way. He also has
some white ones for best occasions
made from gloves as well and finished
with tiny pom-poms. They look very
charming, and are much admired.
But, unfortunately, they soil so
quickly that I find the tan ones far
more useful for every-day wear.—
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
PINK LINGERIE FAVORITE FOR SUMMER WEAR
Pink lingerie is being worn this
Bummer, but it is far from practical,
for it washes in streaks and spots
unless carefully laundered and even
then often needs retinting. White is
more satisfactory.
The fit of the undergarment governs
the fit and therefore the appearance
of the upper garments and dress, so
it should be chosen carefully, writes
a contributor of the Asbury Park
Press. In the combination suits those
with a drawing ribbon at the waist
rather than a merely fitted In waist
line are preferable. By making y*e
of the drawing ribbon the garment
may be made to blouse as the dress
waist does.
Few women seem to know how to
manage the petticoat problem which
the tight skirts and sheer fabric
dresses of the summer present. Two
white petticoats should be worn with
the thin day dresses.
The upper one may be as lacy and
elaborate as one wishes, but the un
der one is properly of light-weight
sateen, quite plain, save for two self
plaltings on the edge.
To allow freedom in walking, tennis
playing and the general outdoor de
mands for swift, free motion, this un
derskirt is slit at the side. Last year
the fashion for under petticoats pro
vided that they should be made of
cotton poplin and not slit.
They were very hot and awkward.
The sateen petticoats are naturally
a great improvement. Some may be
had without the plaiting, slit on the
side and scalloped and buttonholes
edged.
Princess slips are made with a deep
flounce put on almost straight. This
flounce is slit in the centre of the
front for some eight Inches.
Ribbons are used for shoulder;
straps Instead of the lace straps of
last year. Ribbon straps, in fact,
are used this season with all the
lingerie designed for evening wear.
' HINTS THAT ARE HELPFUL
After boiling salt beef leave two or
three carrots In the salt liquor until
cold. The carrots will absorb the salt
and the liquor can be used for soup.
Rusty steel should be covered with
sweet oil, well rubbed In, and In
forty-eight hours use unslacked lime
finely powdered and rub until all the
rust disappears.
If you are mixing a pudding or
cake with a wooden spoon beat the
mixture with the back of the spoon.
It is far easier and becomes beau
tifully light in half the time.
When a kettle Is badly burned do
not fill it with water, but set It aside
to cool; then put in a handful of
washing soda and water and allow It
to boll for an hour or more.
X
Paint, no matter how hard and dry,
can be taken out of woolen clothing
by using solution of equal parts of
ammonia and turpentine. Saturate
the spot two or three times, then
wash out with soapsuds.—Exchange.

Many poets have discovered that
freckles are adorable, painters rave
about red hair, and moles are an ir
resistible charm sometimes. Wrinkles
are not pretty, but they are a great
deal better than a vacuous nothing
ness or a doughy, dead, unlined skin.
To fuss too much with oneself Is to
j invite new troubles and often to
| produce an art i Octal look that is more
unpleasant than wholesome maturity.

she gave it up, which remark in
terested Davie very much, as he
passed them in a chase after a but
terfly. He decided to ask Nellie the
first chance he got what she was
going to give up and why. And
then he forgot all about it, for the
butterfly flew over a hedge, leav
ing him with empty hands out
stretched.
“I only wanted to play with you,”
cried Davie, but the butterfly just
flirted Its wings saucily and flitted
on Its way.
Father Dear called out to him. I
“Come over here, son.”
Turning, Davie saw that farmer '
John had unhitched the horses
from the hay wagon and was liar- j
nesslng them to the big hay rake !
which whs really a kind of a f
wagon, with two wheels and a seat, .
and the prongs of the rake curving
under behind.
“You just watch how this rake
gathers up the stray bits,” said
farmer John, clucking his tongue to
the horses to start.
Dorothy thought privately that
there was no hay to be gathered;
that the few wisps scattered here
and there amounted to nothing.
But wise farmer John knew better.
The “few wisps” gathered under
the rake to form a big, big bundle.
Over and over the field he went,
and at last it was all ready to be
piled on top of the load. Father
Dear jumped up to stamp the hay
down as Mr. Jones spread it about
Then Mr. Jones cried, “All aboard,”
and everybody scrambled up, while
the horses were hitched once more
to the hay wagon.
Then they started home.

HOUSEKEEPERS' EXCHANGE!
BY MARGERY DOON_
Mrs. Gretta I.. contributes a
recipe for old-fashioned Dutch
apple cake, declaring that it ie very
fine.
"I ought to know,” she adds, "for
I have used the recipe for years
and years.
“I have been an admirer of yours
ever since we started to take the
Evening Star.
"Will you please tell me how to
make beef tea for a sick child? The
• doctor saye she must have the pure
juice. I will be very grateful.”
Dutch Apple Cake
One pint of flour, one-half tea
spoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful
soda sifted Into flour, one tea
spoonful cream of tartar, one
quarter cup of butter, one egg, one
scant cup of milk, four sour apples,
two tablespoonfuls «ugar.
Mix the dry ingredients in the
order given, rub in the butter, beat
the eggs and mix in with the milk;
then stir this into the dry mixture.
The dough should be soft enough to
spread half an inch thick on a shal
low baking pan. Core, pare and cut
four or five apples into elghthe; lay
them in parallel rows on top of the
dough, the sharp edge down, and
press enough to make the edge
penetrate slightly. Sprinkle the
sugar on the apple.
I am sure your apple cake must
be very good. It "sounds" good.
A physician recommends the fol
lowing method of making beef tea:
Have a meat press or a small
fruit press. Cut the beef In small
enough pieces to fit into the press,
one piece ut a time. Then take a
I'lece and slash it across several
times both ways, so that the juices
may easily escape. Put on a broiler
over the fire and heat Just enough
to start the juices to running. Put
in the press and press until all the
Juice Is extracted. Proceed thus
with each piece. A slow task and a
hard one. but it is well worth the
trouble. A little boiling water and
a pinch of salt may be added. Stir,
and serve very hot.
T think your little girl will relish
this beef tea, which is a splendid
body builder..
Who knows how to make light
ning cake?
I do not know whether the name
refers to the quickness with which
the cake is made or the effect it
has upon the consumer.
Send in your recipe, somebody,
please.
ARE WE COMING TO THIS? |
The curious modes which women
affect now began as far back as
1798, which Is a period we should
hardly wish to copy In most re
spects, says the Asbury Park Press.
A dance not at all unlike the tango
was In vogue at that time and had
many exponents, w*ho danced in loose
bodices opening in a V-shape from
the shoulders almost to the waist.
Skirts were silt gjid were often made
of transparent gauze.
We may return to the gowns of
that .period, which were without
waists, having simply a girdle to the
bust, with skirts caught up rather
short in front and slightly trained at
the back. In 1800 women wore san
dals and bare feet. Corset belts were
only about two inches wide.
Some gowns were caught up to the
knee with large cameos. Soon fashion
overreached itself, and then came
crinolines, pointed footgear and un
naturally small waists. Are we com
ing to this?
A Few Fads
All the smart women are having
their note paper made in their favor
ite color, and some of them have
lately taken up the cubist notion of
black paper, on which they write in
vivid cerise or white ink. The en
velopes are of course to match.
Animal lovers are having a picture
of their favorite pet inscribed in the
corner, or of their special mascot,
such as an owl or black cat.

For Star Reader's Matted Hair
Dear Miss Doon:
A Star reader wanted to know
what to do for matted hair. Last
year I was sick and my hair could
not bo combed for weeks. It was
very long and thick, and It got In
an awful state. I though it would
have to be out off. I was removed
to the hospital and the nurse combed
it out in two days. She soaked it
with pure alcohol and ' combed it
from the ends. Everybody said it
would fall out, but it te as thick and
as long as over. I was sick six
months, and yie only thing I no
tice wrong with my hair Is that it
is getting very dark. Hoping this
will help "A Star Reader" If you
think it worth while to publish.
What do you think of my hand
writing. MRS. MARY G.
Thanks, Mrs. Mary G. I am sure
that "Star Reader" will appreciate
your help. You write a legible hand. .
Taking Stain from Floor
; Dear Miss Doon:
Will you please tell me what will
remove stains from a hardwood
: floor? 1 do not know what the stains
; are from, but the floor is spotted in
i several places.
TROUBLED HOUSEWIFE,
i Not knowing the nature of the
stains, It is rather difficult to tell
you how to remove them.
Warm water and soap suds will
remove stains. The applications
< must be made with a soft flannel
! cloth if your floor is highly polished.
Obstinate stains are very often
removed with turpentine. Dampen
a cloth and then saturate with tur
pentine.
Concerning a Widow’s Pension ?
Dear Miss Doon:
Will you kindly tell me where t9
apply for a widow's pension?
WIDOW.
Go to the county clerk’s office, in
the Court House, and All out an
application.
Using Powder on the Face
Dear Miss Doon:
Will you please tell me how I can
keep powder on my face. When I
go out and use powder It always
rubs off within a short time. Miss
Doon. does powder cause the skin
to become Irritated? My skin Is
always irritated, it seems, and
never clear.
You say you are only sixteen
years old. My dear child, you
shouldn’t be thinking of powder
and dances, but rather of tennis
and fairy tales. If you start using
powder at the age of sixteen, by
the time you are twenty-live your
face will be wrinkled.
To have a healthy complexion,
observe these rules:
Go to bed early, sleeping with the
windows open.
Eat substantial food, avoiding all
sweets.
Physical exercises taken In the
morning are beneficial to the com
plexion.
Drink plenty of water.
If you do all these things you
won’t need powder, and you will
have a .clear and wholesome com
plexion In the bargain.
Decorations for a Shower
Dear Miss Doon:
Will you please print a few sug
| gestlons for a linen shower? What
card games would be appropriate to
Play. ETTA H. i
Naturally, the heart will figure j
prominently in the decorations at j
almost any kind of an affair In
honor of a prospective bride, and
it is Just as natural to select hearts
as the card game to be played.
A novel idea carried out at a re
cent affair for an engaged girl was
a •‘silence” party. Guests were
warned that every utterance would
demand a penny fine. As they
entered the hostess bowed silently,
finger on her lips. Every giggle de
manded a penny. While they were
seated at table a mechanical mouse
was wound u-' by the hostess and
sent gliding -oss the floor. The
shrieks that lonowed resulted in a
veritable shower of coppers.
As soon as order was restored It
seemed that luncheon was about to
be served, but to half of the guests
were given empty plates and the
others were served with artificial
fruit, eggs, etc.
Under the table was fastened a
loud gong that was rung occa
sionally, ostensibly to call the maid,
but really to startle the guests into
breaking the silence. For fifteen
minutes everything was done to in
duce a laugh or exclamation, and
I
then the ban was lifted and a
dainty meal served.
The place cards, which also served
as favors, were printed mottoes
praising silence, and with the
guests' names written on tne mar
gin. The lines were used to buy a
cook book for the honored gueBt,
and also a leather-covered book,
Into which was pasted the recipes
brought by the guests.
Why not present the gifts in this
manner:
Play a blindfold game, such as
pinning the hatchet to the turkey’s
neck—this is exactly the same as
the famous donkey game—and when
the bride-elect.'s turn comes have
the girls tiptoe to where the gifts
have been piled, each taking one
and standing in a circle about the
guest of honor. Then, when every
body is ready, drop the things with
a loud clatter—of course, I do not
mean the breakable ones—and pull
the bandage from her eyes. She
will then be in the centre of a
circle of packages, which she must
set on the floor and open, while
the others sit outside the gift circle
and pass comments.

Fighting With Boone
BY HOWARD FALK.
The mighty grandeur of a magniil
ccnt Kentucky forest outlined against
a cloudless sky met the gaze of two
of Boone's scouts, youths in their
eighteenth year. The mighty work
of nature and the beautiful say held
them spellbound. Even Boone him
self the sight impressed, although he
was used to it.
"Truly, 'tie a tine picture that no
artist could paint,” said Brown Elk,
one of Boone's Indian scouts, to his
companion, John Foresten, in his own
dialect.
"You are right. Brown Elk,” said
Boone, striding up, "but the question
now is that we have more food, for
we know not when we may be at
tacked, so I am going to send a hunt
ing party out under Foresten here,
with you as scout, Elk.”
Boone, firm, resolute, noble ana
keen-eyed, stood watching the forest,
his form silhouetted against the sky.
Here was the man who was feared
by the treacherous savage and loved
by his followers. Taking deep
breaths of the crystal air he stood
looking so strong, brave and noblo
that many of his followers stood
watching him admiringly. Then, in
terrupting his meditation, he said to
Brown Elk:
"Come to my tent; I want to say
something to you in private.”
In the tent he said: "While watch
ing the forest I saw one of your race
in a tree. I have reason to believe
he is a scout who intends to get a
small force nearby and attack For
esten'a force.
"I did not say to you out there that
I saw him, because I have a plan.
It is this: You follow him and learn
the plans of his party, if he has one.
If they Intend to ambush Foresten(
send a man to let me know, because I
mean to ambush them before they
can fire on Foresten. Now, go and
be quick, or he may have disap
peared.”
Boone giving the signal, Foresten’s
men started after Boone, first letting
them all Into the plan.
The Indian was still in the tree
and Brown Elk had no difficulty in
following him.

eampment he halted and entered an
open space. Boone was right. There
were ten Indians there, just double
the hunting party, excluding Brown
Elk.
Brown Elk perched himself in a
tree and saw the Indian walk to an
Indian In blue war paint who seemed
to be chief. The young Indian spoke:
"Five in pale-face party. (He had not
seen Brown Elk with them. After
deer. Want mocassins and food. Big
party like leaves on tree.”
"We meet them in battle at the
cut,” said the chief. Then he gave
various orders and the men started.
Imagine Brown Elk's dismay when
they started toward him, for capture
meant death, as it was known he
helped Boone. If they came his way
their keen eyes would note how the
bark was scraped on the tree he was
in and how a dislodged stone whs wet
and muddy on the side ‘which had
been In the ground, but was now
turned toward the sun.
There was but one thing to do—
drop from the tree and run, but he
had to cross an open space, and nine
chances out of ten this meant Instant
death. There was but one more thing
to do. Fitting an arrow In his bow,
he dropped and fired, klllihg an In
dian. The other ten were held spell
bound at the nerve of one T)b? daring
to fight ten men.
Taking advantage of this. Brown
Elk started to run across the open
space. Perceiving hlS purpose, with
a cry of rage the nine men fired at
him. As the bows twanged he
ducked and the arrows flew wide of
the mark. He darted Into the forest
and ran as he never ran before. In
his quick brain he formed a plan—
why not draw this party into Boone's
encampment by continually attack
ing them and running, thus drawing
them on. In camp they would be at
Boone's mercy.
Instantly acting on his plan, he
darted behind a tree and fired at the
chief, hitting him in the shoulber. ,
Extracting the arrow with a cry of1
anger, the chief urged his men on
ward. This was what Brown Elk ■
wanted. He had purposely hit the ■
chief to make them pursue him all M
the harder. 2
Urged on by theih chief, they re- i
doubled their efforts, and after much ■
hard running ran right into the en- ^
campment of Boone.
Boone's men and the Indians looked
at one another in astonishment. Th< j
Indians seeing the great opposing I
odds tied. Some of the frontierajncn
seeing the humor of the situation
broke into a loud guffaw. To think
that a lad had led nine men into as
neat -a trap as could be found tickled J
their sense of humor. * i
The pioneers had been too aston- A
isbed to (ire on the fleeing ones, so ^k
they escaped with whole skins.
The hunting party returned loaded
with game and liste.ned in amusemem
to the tale. Brown Elk was after
ward known as the "Joker,” althougv^^M
in fixing the trap lie meant no Joke.^MJ
but to capture the men, but the pioir^HH
eers still looked upon it as a joke. ^Kgg
