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.

Happiness in Labor
Great Joy of Life
1 believe the right question to ask.
respecting all ornament. 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.’’

The nation’s capital was moved
from New York to Philadelphia on
December 1, 1790, for a period of ten
years, ending December 1, 1800, prior
to Its removal to Washington. 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.
