H r S begins the saga of a
great American frontiers­
man, as recorded In a
book, “K it Carson—The
Happy W arrior of the
Old West," recently pub­
lished by Houghton Mlf-
lin company. The author
is Stanley Vestal, other­
wise
W alter
Stanley
Campbell, a professor of
English at the University
of Oklahoma and a man who has had
an unusual opportunity to write the
final word In a K it Carson biography.
For, as he says in the preface, " I am
fam iliar with much of the country Kit
ranged over, and with that Southwest
which he made his life-long head­
quarters. I grew up among the Chey­
enne and Arapaho Indians, the tribes
with which he was most Intimately as­
sociated and from which he took his
two Indian wives. And I think I have
seldom missed an opportunity to talk
with an old-timer who could tell me
about the days and ways of America's
heroic age.”
Among those original sources of ma­
terial he lists such persons as George
Bent, son of CoL William Bent and
Owl Woman, nnd grandson of the
Keeper of the Cheyenne Medicine Ar­
rows; Left Hand, Washee. Watan and
Watonga of the Arapaho Indians and
W olf Chief, Burnt All Over, Roman
Nose Thunder, Edmond Guerrier of
the Cheyennes. In addition to these
and his stepfather, James Robert
Campbell, who served on the staff of
Bancroft, the historian, and spent
much of his time In making Investiga­
tions In the Southwest, the author of
this book has made use of the re­
searches of such historians as George
Bird Grinnell, Edwin L. Sabin, IL M.
Chltteneden, R. L. Thwaltes and
Blanche C. Grant, who last year pub
llshed for the first time Carson's own
memoirs.
As one of the “Big Four of the
American Frontier”—the other three
are Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett and
Sam Houston—K it Carson hns been
much-written about. But as Mr. Ves­
tal points out “K it’s first biographers
made him out a striking but unac­
countable hero. They placed him In a
spotlight which threw all the back­
ground of his age In shadow, repre­
senting him as at once blameless and
colorless. The effect was to make the
ninn Incredible, nnd to leave the read­
er with a hunch that the evidence had
been doctored. To make matters
worse, the Western Hero became com­
mercialized, and the country was
flooded with showmen, who—for a
consideration—posed and postured and
made of the Old West a cheap bur­
lesque. This sickening spectacle made
us all more skeptical than ever, nnd
K it Carson seemed about to go the
way of the ‘noble Red man’ In popular
favor. For there was no readable
*IJfe’ to relnte the man to the charac­
ter of -the times be lived In, no cred­
ible account of the typical product of
that heroic age when trick cowboys
and professional humans were as yet
unknown. . . .
As research mops
up the corners and corrects the errors
of the earlier accounts of his career.
It is more and more clear that the
legend needs rechecklng. . . .
It
Is time to retell the adventures of
this great little man."
And that Is what Mr. Vestal has
done— retold Kit Carson's adveutures
and projected the action of the epic
story against an authentic background
of the Old West In which Kit Carsoi,
lived. In the first chapter he offers
an Interpretation of K it Carson, the
man and the frontiersman, which
sums him up as follows:

The high lights In the life of Kit
Carson have been told go often that
they are familiar to most Americans—
how, when Kit was a year old, the Car-
son family left his birthplace In Madi­
son county, Kentucky, nnd went to
Missouri; how as a small boy Kit ran
wild with the neighbors’ children,
hunted coons and did chores about
home; how he was apprenticed to a
saddler at Franklin, Mo., but ran away
seeking adventure as a trapper. Then
followed his first trip to Santa Fe.
N. Si., with the wagon train of Uent
St. Train and company, Indian and
Mexican trailers, which nas to launch
him upon his nmazlng career ns a
mountain man, scout, guide for Gen­
eral Fremont, Indlnn fighter. Civil war
leader on the New Mexican frontier,
guardian of the Santa Fe trail and
“Father K it” In the government’s
dealings with the Indians,
Such a career, of course, with Its
multitude of thrilling Incidents gave
the “Wild West” type of writer a
chnnce to do his best (or worst) and
few of them failed to make the most
of the opportunity In writing of Kit
Carson. The result hns been a Jumble
of truth and absurdity which fully
justifies this latest Carson biogra­
pher's criticisms of his predecessors.
Rut he hns exploded matiy of the old
legends nnd In their place substituted
either the facts, or theories which can
be accepted as logical nnd reasonable.
For Instance, Carson hns been
painted ns a man with a vision of the
vnst empire of the West which he was
to help ojien up. This new picture of
Cnrson shows him as an empire build­
er, all right, not because he Intended
to be one but because he liked the
life which these “unconscious empire-
builders” lived—the scouting, fighting
of bad Indians and making treaties
with good ones, trapping, hunting,
dancing, drinking nnd loving For In­
stance Carson did not go with Fre­
mont to “carry the Stars and Stripes
to the summit« of the Rockies nnd win
this vnst territory for his country."
ns the sentimentalist-historians would
have IL “Kit went with Fremont"
says Mr. Vestal, “Because he loved
Josephn (his third nnd Inst wife) nnd
wanted to better himself. Like most
people who do things In the world of
nffalrs, be was moved by no grand
schemes or highfalutin, sense of serv-.
Ice or honor, but simply set his heart
on a woman nnd a little money." And
that Is sound common sense.
His manner of dying wns us simple
ns the manner of his living. The end
came May 23, ISOS, at Fort Lyon. Colo.,
where he was under the care o f an
army surgeon. He wns tired of the
food that had been given him.
“Cook me some fust rate doin’»,"
said the old scout, "A Jiuffn'o steak
and a bowl of coffee and a pipe are
what I need.”

She Greeted All Her Guests
I still chilly, and soon the sun was go-
‘ Ing down to hts bed behind the hill, to
' be gone all night.
So she poked the fire and as It
bluzed and crackled she told for the
hundredth time how badly she felt
when children were told that witches
were bad old creature».
For witches, and goblins, too, have
merry ways unless they happen to be
bad ones and there are creatures who
aren't nice of every vurlety.
The snpper table was of moss with
a centerpiece of early summer flowers
I and ferns, and on the leaves of the
ferns there were tiny daisies.
The guest» drank from acorn cups
anil had plntea cut out of new leaves.
They had woodland soup, moss
salad and fern Ice cream with th«
most delicious brook lemonude to
drill k.
But what made them happiest ot all
was to. bear that another story would
be told to children of how much, now
very much, they all loved boys and
girls.
And how much the elves thanked
their bird Fly-High for bringing them
to so lovely u party.

it Is aufeat to not turn aheep or
cattle into a rank growth of clover,

ilutryinen recommend feeding the stock
some dry fodder to partially satisfy
their hunger before they nre turned
Into tlie heavy pasture. Changes from
aennt to rich puatnre should lie made
carefully and (be animals never
should be allowed to gorge tlieiu-
aelvee.
When trouble occurs it Is Indicated
by excessive swelling on Hie left able,
if not too far advanced, relief may
be obtained by the formaline treat­
ment. With cattle, a quart of a IV4
per cent solution of formnllne should
be given ns u drench, tine-half ounce
of formnllne In a quart of water gives
a solution of the right strength. A
round stick should be (led In the ani­
mal's mouth to keep Its jaws open.
in severe cases, the animal must lie
tapped Immediately at a point equally
dlstunt from the last rib, the lilp bone
and the backbone. The operation
should tie made with a trocar and can-
ula, but a pockelknlfe may lie used In
an emergency. The tube of the tro­
car should be left in the opening so
the gas can escape readily. The wound
will henl better If It Is washed with
an antiseptic solution after the canula
has been removed.
Animals that have bloated have
been dangerously sick nnd they should
he handled accordingly. As soon ns
the pain It relieved. It Is advisable to
give a dose of. one to one nnd one-hnlf

Sheep nre more susceptible to bloat

need closer attention. A pint of fresh

formaline, prepared as for rattle, may
be uzed except that sn-r'ler dunes
must be given. Sheep should lie tap[M*d
only as a last resort for they recover
slowly from such operations or In­
juries.
Dehorning Calves With
Caustic Potash Is Easy
One of tlie beet methods of dehorn­
ing cattle la the use of either caustic
sodu or caustic potash. These are
in sticks about leud pencil size and
may be obtained nt any drug store.
The best results are obtained If the
operation Is performed when the calf
Is from four to ten days old. The un­
developed liornt or buttons nre only
loosely attached to the skull and look
almost like parts of skin at this age,
writes George W. Westcott In the
Iowa llomestcud.
Clip the hair over and around the
horns. Apply grease around the edge
of the hair to prevent the caustic from
spreading and enuring sores around
the horn. Then slightly moisten the
stick of caustic and rub It on each
horn three or four times. Let euch ap­
plication dry before the next la ap­
plied.
The operator should wrap the caus­
tic stick In paper with one end ex­
posed to prevent burning his bands.
Do not let uny of tlie caustic run
down the side of the calf's head.
Keep the calf under shelter If there
Is any possibility of rain. Should tlie
caustic become wet It might run Into
the calf» hair nnd eyes und cause se­
vere burns and blindness.
