TALES OF THE

THE FATE OF A TRAITOR
TO Til 10 keelhoulinen who owe piled

being the toughest men on the old
frontier. When they were iml but
tling with river plmle or their tinted
rlvuls, the crew of llatboal mill raft,
they were emtuued In savage roiiuh-
hiiiI luiiihle couiliat among themselves.

Kink wiih atrongly devoted to Will
Cni'lienter and Frank Tulheau, hi
conipanlon ou the famous Ashley-
llenry fur trading expedition up the
MInhouiI In H22. The three nun
quarreled freiiieiiily, but they aluay
signified that their difference were
ended by a peculiar rite, one would
net a cup of whisky on hit head and
let the other thoot It off a a teat of
friendship and a proof of the truce.
In the north country they met a
half-breed girl whom both Carpenter
unit Fink wooed. Hhe gave herself to
Carpenter and Fink maddened by this
defent In love, challenged Carpenter
to prove that ha was also the better
man In a tight. Again Carpenter waa
the victor.
Thl IIl'IiI den red the atmosphere
somewhat, but when Fink Mt 111 ct-med
resentful, Tulbeim suggested the rlti
f "shoot Inn the cun." Un the tos of
a coin Fink won the ilnbl to shoot ami
when Carpenter looked Into hi eyes
he knew tliut Ills friend meant to
murder lilin. Hut he nlaced the CUU of
whisky on hi head and stood facing
hi slayer fearlessly. Fink took care
ful aim and fired. At the report Car
penter crumpled to the ground, shot
squarely between the eye.
Fink trt-otested that the fatal shot
wa an accident, but Talbeau was only
half convinced. A abort time later
Fink, while In hU cup, confessed that
he had killed hi friend deliberately.
Tnllieau wn merclles. He disarmed
the traitor and drov him forth Into
the barren land to the east. There for
day be followed Fluk and whenever
the doomed nmn stopped to rest or to
search for the water which would
satisfy bl torturing thirst, the spiteful
crack of Talheau' rifle drove him on
und on. Finally one day Talbeau lost
sight of hi man, but a little later he
eitme uMn a huddled figure from which
the croaking raven flapped slowly
iiway as he approached. Will Carpen
ter had been avenged.
Rtdbtrd Cot It Namt
From Church Dignitary
At first thought It Is difficult to soe
the relationship between the corauiw
redblrd, or cardinal, and the lilngus or
the front door. The eiplanatton la
simple enough, however, when the
words are traced to their source. The
redblrd was originally called a card
inal because tils plumage bore the
coloring of the hat and cassock of a
cardinal of the Roman Catholic
hurch. The use of the word "cardi
nal" as denoilna a dignitary of the
church came about through the poetic
fimcv of an earlv Done, who spoke or
the cardinals as "the hinges by which
nil things are moved" In connection
with church government. In the Latin
InnguaKe "cardo, cardials," Is tae
equivalent of the English "lilnge.
For this reason the dignitary was
called a cardinal, as signifying his
function as one of the "hinges" of the
church. From this early usage "card
inal" came to be applied to anything
of prime Importance, Including the
cardinal numbers, the cardinal poinis
of the compass and the cardinal vir
tues. The use of the word as apply
ing to a color came about from the
fact that the color was tne siriamg
of the dress of a cardinal.
This explalris the use of the word in
naming the redblrd.

500 AIRPLANES A MONTH.
THE U. S. A. JOKE.
FLYING SHIPS FOR TROOPS.
THE COUNTRY EDITOR.
The spokesman for the Mikado
announces that Japan's relations
with all treaty powers, Including
this country, were never more
friendly. We are all glad of that.
We have for Japat only the most
sincere feelings of kindness and
admiration.
At the same time It Is Interest
Ing, and not amusing, to consider
these facts: Japan builds 600 air
planes eacb month, keeping sev
enteen factories busy night and
day. According to our Brigadier
General William Mitchell, a sound
authority on air service, this Gov
ernment owns, in all, only 700 air
planes, big and little. And of the
700 only twenty would have any
value a fighting machines. There
fore, Japan builds each month
twenty-five times as many serv
iceable planes as we have alto
gether. And we have In America only
450 pilots that could be used tor
air battles, in time of war. Japan,
England, France have thousands
The rich that fight taxes and
yell for economy fear one thing
even more than loss of their dol
lars, and that is talk of revolution.
Just one thing could bring bloody
revolution and uprising in this
country. And that would be
shameful defeat in war, with hor
rible loss of life and property, due
to lack of preparation.
The very rich men and corpora
tions that control this nation, dic
tate its candidates and its laws,
should bear that in mind and not
push economy too far.

Not in Dictionary
In the good old days when science
was still In its infancy, which was not
so long ago, scientists were firmly con
vinced that the various atoms of a
given element were absolutely Identi
cal with each other and quite Immune
from auy transformation whatever.
The very name, from the Greek, means
Indivisible. This view has recently
been shattered by the Investigations
and developments of radio activity.
The Isotope has taken Its place as the
smallest particle. The word Is not In

origin and signifies "that which ts In
the pluce of." Chicane Journal.

Although the "dole" has loomed so
large of late years, It Is one of the
oldest customs of England, for the

The British, creator of tha
uperdreadnaught, rulers of tho
kea for generation, are not neg
lecting their air fleet. They have
organized a flying service separate
and apart from Army and Navy
control, unhampered by precedent
and old-fashioned ideas.
Britain la building airships big
enough to carry bodies of troop,
replacing the old, slow floating '
troop ships. These ships, each
with five million cubic feet gas
capacity, will make our Shenan
doah or Los Angeles look like a
tugboat compared with a battle
ship. The ships will be put to work at
once, carrying mails and passen
gers from England to India and
other distant parts of the Empire.
Thus they will pay their way in
peace, and be ready for war when
It comes.
Is not this country rich and in
telligent enough to meet the situa
tion, and keep up with the times?
The flying machine was invented
here, and we sit waiting for other
countries to develop it, and per
haps use it against us.
Why must wo wait for Europe to
establish a flying service across
the ocean T If our business men,
that talk so much of superior pri
vate ownership, lack energy and
courage to be pioneers, the United
States Government should do it.
Instead of merely sending out
of date battleships to cruise in the
Pacific, we ought to send half a
dozen dirigibles, bigger than any
thing England has, each carrying
its cargo of flying machines and
fliers, to make friendly demonstra
tions in flying from the mother
ships, target practice with imita
tion bombs against moving and
stationary targets, etc. All that
would be instructive, create thought
in foreign countries and promote
peace.
The editors of country weekly
newspapers are the most influen
tial men in the United States.
Each one can influence at least one
Congressman and two Senators,
iiorc than half a dozen so-called
"big editors" could influence them.
' Two thousand of these editors
publish this article, sending it into
millions of farm houses and village
homes. They should take this ques
tion of air defense in hand, and put
it through, as they put through
the parcels post.
Write to your Congressman and
your two Senators, urging them to
support President Cooli.lgc ear
nestly in his determination to give
this country an adequate air force.

Somewhat similar doles of bread are

Money doles are often accompanied

the dole at the church of St. Barthol
omew the Great, where the dole has to

"Ill-favored of face."
