V/Oman’s Good Deed Re
warded by Immortality.
An old Indian legend of the Hudson
valley tells of (lie Spirit of the
Hudson. It was current among the
.Mohicans who considered them
selves descendants of the Great
Spirit. They also thought the val
ley was the red man’s paradise.
As the legend goes, the tribe journeyed
puplward from the land of the setting
I'titi to the shores of the Hudson many
5’ears before the advent of the white
man. With the tribe went Minne-Wa-
Wu, mother of Evening Star, the chief,
and grandmother of Osseo. Then while
hunting deer In the mountains west of
(he river Osseo and ids father were
overtaken by darkness, and in the
night both were destroyed by Mishe-
mokwn, t lit? naked bear.
I11 her grief Wa-bun-an-nung, wife
of the chief and mother of Osseo, be
came demented and wandered away
in tlie woods. Site was captured by
the little men who appear at twilight
and disappear at dawn, who placed
her in I lie eastern sky, where site be
came the morning star. Minne-wa-wa
went to the spot in -the mountains
where the hunters laid perished, and
fearing, that oilier hunters might
meet tlie naked hear and the same
fate, she gave to tlie little swamp flies
the tiny lamps which they flash. But
seeing that these fireflies were useful
only in the damp hollows they usually
roam, she climbed to the mountain top
and from its peak hung in the west
ern ,-jky ike how of her dead son, and
it became tho crescent moon.
From this deed tiie Great Spirit saw
that she thought only of the good of
her people, so lie made her nil Immor
tal spirit ami gave her eternal domi
nation over the mountains and en
trusted to her the dispensing of storm
and sunshine I»* the valley of the Hud
son forever. She is supposed to keep
the day and night shut up in her lodge
on the highest peak, releasing only
,one nt a time. The dews of the eve
ning are her tears shed for the lost
hunters, and she shakes from lier man-
ttle of cloud the rain and snow. She
also hangs up n new moon In the sky
every month. This done, she cuts tlie
old moon In little pieces which she
scatters over (lie sky to become stars.

Fooling the Flyers
Unable to obtain aid of the courts
In preventing airplanes from a flying
school adjoining his farm south of
(Lincoln, Neb., from Hying across his
place, Emil A. Glntt has began to
•build tlie biggest “spite” fence record
ed in legal history.
The fence will cost Glatt many dol
lars, hut lie is ready to pay.
The fence wi'l be 45 feet high, built
of wire, and kept in place by huge
towers reared on cement foundations.
There will be eight towers, about 150
feet apart. Between tlie towers will
be stretched six strands of heavy wire,
one above the oilier, in tlie manner of
a fence. They will be strong enough
to bring to grief any airplane that
strikes them.
Glatt began tlie fence when tlie
court refused to issue nn Injunction
restraining the flyers from (lying
across Ids place. Glatt said they flew
low for the thrill of exciting his fam
ily and Ids poultry, cows, horses and
hogs.—Chicago Post.
Grand Old Name
A'-Sah-EI Hidden of Salem. N. II.,
has never been known to complain
about Ids name being too common.
But lie had to lie married 00 years be
fore' lie was to discover that it is tlie
rarest mime in history.
A Biblical character bore tlie same
name more than 2,000 years ago and as
far as can lie learned no one, with tlie
exception of Mr, Widden, hits had It
■since. All Ibis was brought to light
recently when Dr. Charles Tilton, pas-
tor of the Salem Baptist church, vis-
iled Mr. Widden on the occasion of
hi ; sixtieth wedding anniversary.
"It’s a great old name," says Mr.
Widden—"and do you know what it
means? Well, it's 11 Hebrew phrase
for ‘God Made Him.’ "—Lawrence Tele
gram.

Among the Oldest Is That
Concerning Whistling.
Sailors probably hold more than
their share of sun rstitlons, some in-
.explicable to a landsman, nnd others |
•easily traced to their source, tine of j
the oldest and most general is that it J
is very, very unlucky to whistle on j
shipboard—in fact, in the navy it Is 1
forbidden. Since a crusty old mer- 1
chant captain or sally admiral might !
be annoyed hv unseemly sounds from-I
tiie crew, it Is qulic easy to see bow 1
Hie m.vtli of Imd luck attached itself j

Magazine.
A few years ago a navy officer, de- j
tailed as governor of a Pacific island
possession, decided that, since the
navy ruled the I; h i. ship rules should
apply, and lie forbade whistling nt
any place in l-.is island domain. As
a sequel two whistling marines desert
ed and sailed for Japan in a native
boat and nearly died before they were
rescued at sea. Tlie story leaked put.
a court of inquiry was ordered and
Hie officer killed himself to escape
court martial. That is tlie only cits-
mi record where not whistling was un-
lin k.v.

Good Day’s Work

The composer’s name was Ethelbert

Good Appetite
George W. Wickersham, tlie famous
philanthropist nnd lawyer, Was talk
ing at tlie University club in New
York about Henry Ford's new book,
“Mr. Ford,” lie said, “would give un
limited power to captains of Industry,
and that would be all right if our
captains of Industry were like him—
altruists and philosophers.
"But tiie average captain of Indus
try is like tlie Russian farmer. Tills
farmer knew that the Bolshevik revo
lution would allow him to enlarge Ids
farm at the expense of Ids aristo
cratic neighbors.
"‘But I ain’t no land hog,' In' said

New Oil Source
If a process for Hie extraction of oil
from coal. Invented by Dr. Paul Dvor-
kovltz, a Russian, proves as successful
ns he claims it to be, declares the
Westminster Gazette, Great Britain
will never have cause to fear a short
age of petrol. By ids method of ex
traction, so it is said, 500 tons of coal
will yield 2,000 gallons of motor
spirits, 0,500 gallons of lamp oil, 9,000
gallons of lubricating oil, and varying
amounts of paraffin, phenol, pitch, sul
phate of ammonia, and sulphur. And
after all these substances have been
t*cparated from tlie coal, asserts the
inventor, there will lie a residue of
97-1 tons of smokeless fuel, which will
give greater heat than tlie original
coal itself.—Compressed Air Magazine.
Starting Point of Easiest
Road to Wealth.
A man of inventive turn of mind
spent an afternoon 011 the golf links.
-He watched -iicli player, he -re lie
drove off, tain.- .1 handful of dam-) sand
friuii a sand box cfi the ti l ing ground,
kneel,, and fashion a more or less
symmetrical mound of .-and upon
which to perch Hie ball. It seemed a
mussy, bothersome process, and it had
to be gone throw li 18 time i on each
round of the course. There must bo a
belter way.
He thought It oyer inventively.
The result, of his thinking was 11 pat
ented golf fee consisting of a pointed
pin of light wood with a slightly con
cave head.
There nothing startling about this
Invention, Arthur Grahsune, writing iu
Popular Science Monthly, asserts. The
tee is pot much more in effect than
a glorified carpel tack, it is ope'of
those simple hut ingenious tilings that
“anybody might have thought of."
But golfers buy it. Several million
have been sold. There was a ready
made demand waiting for the novel
little tee, and its retail price is so low
that almost any player is willing to
“take a chance" and give ft.a trial.
Another man of .an inventive turn of |
mind saw London nursemaids pushing
baby carriages along the sidewalks.
He decided to invent a motor baby car
riage. lie did invent one, and patent
ed it. Tlie nurse stands on u platform
behind tlie carriage nnd pilots it along
at a dizzy speed of live miles an hour.
This motor baby carriage is a much
more complicated apparatus tlmu is
the little golf novelty. It cost, more
in time and effort to perfect and to
manufacture, nnd it costs a great deal
; more to buy It. Yet it is extremely
I unlikely that its Inventor will reap
j hourly us large a financial harvest as
will 4m*• gathered hy tito inventor of
! tlie simple little golf tee. There are
even more babies than there are golf
ers in the-world, but only n few par
ents are able and willing to invest In
.motor baby carriages.
If you want to make your inventive
ability pay you big dividends, invent
something that great numbers of peo
ple will want and will be able to buy
—something that will do away with
or lesson some petty annoyance of
ordinary life, and that can be manu
factured nnd sold cheaply.
Many of Hie most profitable Inven
tions have been extremely simple—
among others, the safety-pin, “Mrs.
Potts’" flatiron with the detachable
handle that stays cool while tlie iron
gets Hot, which made a half-million
dollars for its Inventor, tlie crinkled
hairpin that stays put in n woman’s
Imir, and Eskimo pie, that compare.- |
tively new liot-wenther delicacy Hint
earned a big fortune for the man who
patented it. A big demand was wait
ing for every one of these Inventions.
