Indian Legend a Good
for Bedtime Stories
One of the dhariua of Indlauj mytha
about aulmuls is that they explain tti?
uoexplalnublo so plausibly. How did
the flying squirrel get Hit (lying ap
paratus? Instead of going Into lengthy
explanations the Seneca* relate that
there was a time long ago wheu ud
hunts and birds wore very large uatt
tree# uiore lofty and rivers broader
than nowadays. On ono occasion a
squirrel, which bud been hoarding nut*
against tbe winter, found bis store
being steadily robbed. For m long
tnue be could not discover tbe culprit,
but finally found tbat a woodchnck
and a giant bullfrog wltb teeth had
been stealing his nut*.
The culprits were haled before tbe
great chief of all tbe aqulrrela and
brought to judgment. By way of sen
tence tbe woodchuck was ordered to
have bla tall removed In order to hum
ble his pride, snd tbe bullfrog to havo
bis teeth taken out so that he would
no longer be tempted to steal anoth
er's store. Hut the aqulrrel waa also
blamed for carelessness in building
IiIr nest so low that other anlaaala
might resell It. He was therefore or
dered to nest In the high trees and by
way- of compensation was given a
blanket to stretch between bla leg*
so that he might sail through the air
Uke a leaf.
A wolf snapped off the woodclruck'a
tall Hnd a heron picked out the bull
frog's teeth, and thenceforth all wood
cbuckfe were tailless snd bullfrogs
toothless, and the former feared the
wolf mightily and tbe latter hid -at
the sight of the heron. Tlie Mjulrrel'e
descendants, however, had blunkets.
and that Is why they fall around from
limb to limb so readily.
Of such stuff are many Indian tales
made. Here are bedtime stories of
Infinitely greater worth than many of
the modern children's yarns. There
Is room for a volume of real American
fairy tales. ? New York Times.
Penalty of Penury
"It doesn't pay' to bis close-fluted
when you're running for office." says
a prominent middle-western politician.
"One time a tightwad down In our
county decided to run 'for tbe legisla
ture. Ills friends urged him to spend
a little money, hut he consistently re
fused up to the night before election.
When he gave in to the extent of
buying and distributing a bale or so
of the^, cheapest cigars he could find
poisonous ropes, all of them. Elec
tion morning he sauntered down to the
polls to see how things were going,
lie was met by a group of his workers.
" 'Well, boys,* said he, 'am I win
nln' or losln'?'
" 'Your gone,' replied one of the
workers mournfully.
"'What's the 'mutter? asked the
candidate.
" 'All your friends who took your
cigars last night are sick in bed to

Vocational Kuidauce. vocational
training, and education for citizenship
are the alms of the part-time school.
New York's most recent experiment in
the field of vocational education, saya
School Life. Minors between fourteen
and eighteen, not high school gradu
ates and not in attendance upon tbe
regular full-time schools, must attend
such schools for not less than four
days between 8 a. m. and & p. m. When
the child Is placed in some selected
occupation the school keeps in touch
with its progress. If the employer
does not himself provide It, the school
gives Instruction related to the occu
pation. Many employers are now
maintaining part-time or apprentice
schools.
Founding of Rome
Legend, accepted ?s authentic in
later ltoman times, made Romulus the
founder of the city of Home and the
Palatine, one of .the seven hills that
rise on the left bank of the Tiber, the
site of the first settlement. The en

establishment of the republic, ,".<>9 B.
O., is In Its detailed history unknown,
and from the mast? ?.f myth and
legend it Is possible fo derive only the
very broadest conceptions of ihe be

MAN IS PKRR1),
Rev. Walters Not (JuUty on Charge
of Whipping Bo>
York, Sept. took a jury in
Magistrate Smith's Court at Hickory
Grove this morning less than five
minutes to find the Kcv. K. K. Wal
tors, superintendent of Kconomy
Home at King's Crook ? not guilty of
cruelty in whipping Clyde Lane, an
inmate of the homo, several weeks
ago.
The Lane boy testified he received
only an ordinary whipping and did
not deny that he deserved what he
got
The warrant for Mr. Walters was
sworn out by Kural Policeman John
A. Jackson, who examined Lane
shortly after he was' whipped, and
who declared the lad was beaten blue- |
black.
Mrs. T. C\ Wootcn, child-placing '
agent of the State Board of Public J
Welfare, who is now at Economy j
Homo making arrangements for the
care of the 'children since the home
is to be discontinued, Appeared as
a witness for Mr. Walters today. She
said she had examined a number of 1
children and all had told her they
had received kind treatment during
the few weeks tho Rev. Walters had'
had charge of the home. I
Man Minus Soul Worth 98 Cents j
? ? I
"Marked down to 98 cents," would
be a queer and insulting tag to put I
on a man. Yet that is what a man1
amounts to, considered in terms of j
his chemical analysis, says the North j
and South Carolina Public Utility In- j
formation Bureau, has been made by
some technical sharp, and this is the
astounding report:
The ingredients of a man plus,
water are as follows:
Fat enough for seven bars of soap, i
Iron cnouKih for a medium-sized (
nail. ? (
Sugar enough to fill a shaker.
Lime enough to whitewash a:
?chicken coop.
Phosphorus enough to make 2,200 '
?match pits.
Magnesium enough to make a dose
of magnesia.
Potassiunji enough to explode a toy
cannon.
Sulphur enough to rid a dog of
fleas. ' j
This whole collection is worth US
cents, and that when things are three
times as high as they used to be.
