He told of escapes from dangers

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

ferns there were tiny daisies.

salad and fern Ice cream with th«

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

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.
