EL RENO DAILY DEMOCRAT
ANCIENT T.Y-E OF CREATION
According to the Chippewa Legend,
Mennboshu Was the Originator
of All Things.
According to tlic legend of the Clilp-
licwa Indians, Menubosliu wns the
creator of all things. He avowed one
day that he would make the earth.
Ho rounded the. soil between his pow-
erful hands until It grew Into a great
ball. Then Menubosliu mixed water
with the soil to form mud, and be-
sides, molded It about a great rock,
when, behold—a still larger ball, says
Oenbom Crane in the Boston Tran-
script Menubosliu then undertook to
devise the living things which dwell
on the earth. The tlrst bear escaped
from Its maker, leaped to the earth
and bounded straightaway across the
North Amerloan continent, liut the
land where the sprawling bear's huge
paws struck the earth was still so
fresh and soft tlmt they left deep
tracks.
Those deep marks quickly filled
with water. Scarcely had the fright-
ened bear bounded away when I lie
beautiful lakes -Superior, .Michigan.
Huron, Ontario and Erie—appeared
full to the brim. They are us lil
as the first bear's tracks.
The creator now hastened to make
rain. At klit of the water tillii g
the lakes he begun to fear lest the
soil again fall In a heap; and lie
caused the rain to full from the sky
so long that the lakes overflowed to-
ward Erie, the track of the foot which
struck first and settled under the
bear's weight much lower than the
others—the water, on Its way to the
sea, dropped abruptly from Ontario
Into Erie, And lo! the Falls of Ni-
agsra I
BEAUTY DESCRIBED CY POET
Word Painting of Sunset on the Arno
Brings the Scene Vividly to
the Mind.
It was sunset on the Arno; far down
the river, over mountain ranges where
snow yet lingered, a wann tint, Imlf
rose and half ametln -.t, gleumeii along
the liorl7.on; beside the low parapet
that bordered the street, people were
loitering back from their afternoon
promenade at the Casino; here u sol-
dier, now an Kuglishmnn on horse-
back, and then n bearded at" ;t; some
times an oval-faced coutadlna, the
broad brhu of whose finely woven
straw hat llappcil over eyes of mellow
jet; and again a trig nurse with Saxon
ringlets, dragging n petulant urchin
along; and over all these groups and
figures wns shed the beautiful smile
of parting day, and by them, under
graceful bridges, flowed the turbid
stream, the volume doubled by the
spring freshets. I surveyed the pano-
rama from an overhanging balcony,
where I stood awaiting the appearance
of a friend upon whom I bad called.—
Henry T. Tuckerman.
IVfost Ancient Weapon.
Hack In the dim reaches of prehl >
torlc ages, no one packed a sword un-
less It was the saber-toothed tiger.
But soon, primitive man began to
evolve his crude cleavers out of every
sort of material, fiom the jawbone
with which Samson fanned, the Philis-
tines to the shining steel with which
the Assyrians cracked down, "like a
wolf on the fold." Some very service-
able slashers wore swung by the
Greeks after they had exhausted their
ammunition, which consisted of spears.
One of their favorite modes of combat
was to mount their chariots and dash
by one another, chucking javelins. In
the event no bull's eyes were made,
they wo'1,Id leap to the ground and
draw their swords, the survivor, 11s
in the case of the procedure of
Achilles with Hector, making fast the
body of the vanquished to the rear
of his clmrlot and ordering the char-
ioteer In a clear, commanding vol<v,
"Home, Jnmeus."
Reading Versus Thinking.
It is good to retul, mark, learn—
but It is better to inwardly digest. It
Is good to rend, het'er to think—bet-
ter to think one hour than to read ten
hours without thinking. Thinking is
to reading (If the book read have any-
thing in It) what rain and sunshine
are to the seed cast Into the ground
the Influence which muketh It bear
and bring forth, thirty, forty, an hun-
dredfold. To read Is to gather Into
the barn or storehouse of the mind;
to think Is to cast seed corn into the
ground to make It productive. To
read is to collect Information; to
think is to evolve power. To rend is
to lay a burden on the back; but to
think Is to give to the feet swiftness,
und the hands strength. Vet we have
a thousand or fen thousand readers
for one thinker, as the kind of books
sought nfter In circulating libraries
bears witness.
The Razor In History.
The next time your razor slips re-
member that it was Scipio Afrlcnnus,
the great Ilomnn, who was the first
to Institute the custom of shaving
dally. Which observation brings us
to the subject of shaves and beards
In general. Who took the first shave?
Nobody knows. The answer to the
question, who wore the first beard T
is more simple. Adam, of course.
Something Is known of the beard
of Belshazzar, the ancient monarch
who "made a great feast to 1000
lords." Belshazzar used a curling Iron
ami has frequently been pictured with
a beord full of curls. To users of hen-
na powder It ought to be a comfort to
know this monarch used gold powder
on his beard.

CONSIDER THE ONION
(New York Herald)
Consider the onion, to pay foi
\hich on April 15, theltailway Age
11 lis us. the Chicago consumer was
>ii Jug Into his Jeans at the rate of
10 cents a pound or $200 a ton.
Who was getting die opulence rep-
ented by the oplon at $200 a ton
in the Chicago market basket? Not
i|.' producer, for on that very date
price on the Texas farms was $12
ton. Not in this instance the trans
1 ing railroad, for ut the same time
tin freight charges on the onions
fiom Ti*as to Chicago were $29.64
1 ton. Ilut who did get it?
Tile difference between the 42 a
ton on the farm, plus the $29.64 on
'hi train, or the $71.64 at tlie Chi
1) freight yard, and the $200 in
the consumer's pantry is $128..'16
i amission merchant couldn't
save taken it all, for after him was]
1 whole, iler and after the whole-
saler was the retailer with their In
bor, rent, delivery costs and taxi
to pay.
Hut how did the commission man,
the wholesaler and the retail* f
divide up the $158 which the oni 1
farmer did not get and the $128.36
.which the onion f irmer and the rail
road put together did not get? DM
thev split it even, each taking $42.,^.
or 78 cents apiece more than tin
farmer got and $K1 apiece more than
the railroad got or what?
Anyhow, with the public paying at
tile rate of $200 a ton for what wa
worth $42 a ton to the farmer who
raised it, consider the onion which
brings tears to tho consumer's eye
OUR VOLUNTARY WASTE TAX
(Wall Street Journal)
Congress and the secretary of tie
treasury are struggling with tin
question of taxation to meet nation
a 1 expenditures of about $5,000,000.
000. How? Pood costs the people 01
this country more than $18,000,000
000 a year, nearly all of which pas 1
through a costly and inefficient mar
keting process. Contrast Ills two ex-
penditures and see if a good markel
Ing system does not mean as much
to the national Welfare as the enli s
sum of taxation.
To say how much of fills cost o>
food is dead loss to the consumers
would be difficult. But it must close
ly approach the huge expenditur I
which now worries congress. Lack j
of standardization, waste from bail
packing and inefficient distribution j
methods are the main causes. Who:1
a housekeeper buys a pineapple sin
pays for the one delivered and two
that rotted on the way because 01
inefficient packing. Every peek of
sweet potatoes that enters your honn
carries not only its own cost but thai
of another peck wasted because of
improper storage.
In one year the loss 011 live stock
shipped to Chicago amounted to $1
000,000, that being the value of the
nlmela that died on the way from
Improper loading. The same thing
is true <>f every live stock market.
These losses are paid in the price ot
every bit of meat on your table, in
two winter months the loss on applen
hipped from just one region was
1 !,000,000. Stem rot causes 111 enor-
mous loss in melons, and the bureau
if plant industry shows it can be
prevented by a simple operation.• We
pay for $50,000,000 worth of wanted
eggs improperly shipped, and untold
millions on other food products.
The trail of foou pro tucts from
farm to table Is as devious as the
ways of .tho wicked. A carload 01
peaches was followed to* a western
city, where it was switched to .1
track accessible by teams. There?
in the course of thirty-six hours, this
perishable fruit as loaded on truckb
ind carried to the wholesale district
two miles away. Next came the do
livery to the wholesalers, and fron.
them another handling to the retail-
ers, necessitating more carting and
jostling over t he rough pavements
ind exposure to the city heat and
dirt, with consequent loss. When
the retailers came to buy they paid
for all this cartago and damage ti
I he fruit. One wholesale dealer In
Washington slated that he pa il $20.
