with Its demands that she ailupt her

"Most every woumn likes to sew for
(lulu babies." declares ooe woman
wlio hss chosen to do so, "and the
making of layettes Is a well-paying
business. I believe la giving the ro

It Is a good phin for the layette-

the woman who can do handwork Is
lucky, whatever her specialty. She
can make an excellent Income em
broidering bedspreads, dresser-scarfs,
tablorunmtrs, tablecloths, napkins and
centerpieces. At Christmas time she
will be able to use the small

might embroider some of these, and
simply crochet a pretty edge on otber.

establishment. The proprietress may
buy old clothes of good materials, less

be cut down, combined If necessary,

HOW THE WHITE MAN GOT HIS

A MONO all Uie frontier types who
took part In the westward march
across the continent, mere is ou
whose Importance has never been suf
ficiently recosnlssed by the historian.
That was the lund speculator.
Dunlol Boone is popularly regarded
as tlm tviik-a ndimonuent pioneer,
yet when be crossed over the moun
tains Into Kentucky he went as the
agent of a North Carolina land specu
lator, Col. Richard Henderson. An
other such real estate dealer of an

WlUtaxu F son's fair dealing with
buiUM ts irverblal. but bis
sum wr net to scrupulous. They
were the authors of the notorious
"Walking Purchase" of 1737.' They
opened negotiations with tbe Del
aware for extending the rennayi-
vanla colony beyond Nesbamlny
creek. One old chief who opinised tne
cession reminded his brethren of the
'Oxhide Purchase" made ninny years
before by settlers who asked only
enough land to build a Ore upon or
as much as could be encompsssed by
an oxhide. The request was granted.
The settler cut the kln Into thin
strip and the Delaware learned to
their dismay Just how much land
muld be sncoiuoassed by an oxhldo.
But despite this bitter lesson the
Delaware finally consented to the
Penns offer, the agreement being that
the new territory was to extend as fur
west from the Neshamlny as a man
could walk In a day and a half, hence
the name "Walking Purchase." Then
the Peons built a smooth road into
the territory and hired a swift runner
who went over the route several times
to become familiar with It, The result
was that on the day the measurement
was made this runner gained for the
Penne at least four times as much
land as th Delaware had Intended
they should have. The Indians pro
tested and kept on protesting until
the Penns substituted strong ana
methods for trickery. They called in
the Iroquois, who drove th ueiawares
off the disputed land.
But the Indians had long memory.
Fifty years later they reproached
Oovernor St. Clair of the Northwest
territory with the "Oxhide Purchase"
ind the "Walking Purchase" when be
culled the Ohio tribes Into council at
Fort Uariuar, and it was not until
after a bloody war that the tribes,
finally ceded their lauds. " , ,
