Lianket Sail Saved Life of “Jeff” Davis Use of u blanket us a sail once saved Jefferson Davis, later to be president of the southern Confederacy, from death at the hands of hostile Indiana, a writer In the Kansas City Star reculls. He was IJeutenant Davis then and hud beeu sent to sup erintend the cutting of timber on the banks of the Red Cedar river In north ern Wisconsin. His tusk consisted mainly of cutting logs, dragging them to the water, fastening them together in rafts, and guiding them down the Chippewa river and thence to the Mis sissippi. Once Davis' party, paddling along a stream, was halted by a party of In dians who demanded a trade of to bacco. Davis and his men paddled over to the bunk to parley. Some one In the party discovered that the peace ful ones of the Indians were merely a cloak to hide their hostility and warned Davis of the danger. The sol diers hurriedly pushed out Into the stream and the Indians followed. Realising what little chance white men had against such experienced paddlers, Davis conceived the Idea of rigging up a sail with a blanket. A strong wind made this rather danger ous, but as It was a chance between death from the Indians and possible death from drowning, they were will ing to take the risk. The sail was quickly hoisted and It worked well. They soon sped on far ahead of their pursuers. e tu d tie ^ OUR COMIC SECTION Events in the Lives o f Little M ai J, *41 SAY “ BAYER ASPIRIN” and INSIST!

Is simply th is: Was It done with enjoyment— was the carver happy while he was about It? It may be the hardest work possible, and the harder because so much pleasure was taken In I t; but It must have been happy, too, or It will not be living. . . . We are not sent Into the world to do anything Into which we cannot put our hearts. We have certain work to do for our bread, and that is to he done strenuously; other work to do for our delight, nnd that Is to be done heartily; neither Is to be done by halves and shifts, but with a will; nnd whut Is not worth this effort Is not to be done at all. Perhaps all thnt we have to do Is meant for nothing more than an exercise of the heart and of the will, and Is useless In Itself; but, at all events, the little use It has may well be spared If it Is not worth put ting our hands and our strength to.— John Ruskin, in “The Seven Lumps of Architecture.’’ (CopTTtrht.

After the burning of the capitol during the War of 1812 a strong movement arose for removing the capital from Wash tngton. In fear of such a result the local Interests formed the Capitol Hotel company, and erected a building for government occupancy until the repairs on the capitol were finish. It was occupied from 181-1 to 1819 and was afterward known as the "Old Capitol” and was used I d the Civil w ar as a military prison. c o - H f u o O O F aw H y / w G o o d n e s s r ELt x - houu f i n e y o u l o o k - SHOWS w hat □ panlon G o o d C o o k c a m mow CANT GET OVEG?
