| . . THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA, JAN . 22, 1915. | | Why Indians Are Red. 1 A German doctor has evolved a| queer theory about the coloring of the | human race—that the tint of the skin | 1s determined by the food eaten. Originally, he declares, the human gpecies was black, because our primi-| tive forefathers subsisted on fruits and | roots containing manganese. The American redskins owe their color to the consumption of raw flesh. The Mongols are vellow because of their: descent from a tribe which consumed great quantities of herbs rich in chloride, and the Caucasians have to thank the salt, for which they have so great a liking, for their dainty pink and white or delicate brunette complex- jous.—Philadelphia Record.

While excavating an old foundation | wall in the vicirity of Putu some time | ago, a Chilean found a number of | ! stones in the wall that were marked by vellow streaks. Curiosity prompt- ed him to make an investigation, | which disclosed that the streaks were | due to the presence of a good quality of gold. The rock formation from which the stones were obtained was finally located and a vein, rich in gold- l bearing ore, was opened up, which in a short time yielded about $75,000 worth of the precious metal.

FOEOFOFOTOTOTOIISOPGHOFO When Amy Finch locked the schoolhouse door after the last whooping boy had scurried down the Pine Bend a great depression seized her heart. Christmas at Lone Pine—among | strangers in the tiny settlement nes- |tled in a valley among the snowy cattle ranges of Montana! Christmas away from her own people for the first time in her life! No wonder the lump came into her throat and her pretty gray eyes filled with tears. Amy was smiling through her tears when Miss Heppy came tramping around a bend in the trail, looking | like a big brown bear in her brown | garments and brown fur hood. “Thought I'd come and meet you,” said Miss Heppy, turning about to fall into a step with the girl who was just half her own age “I've got to 2o to Lone Pme and I wanted to tell you that supper was all ready on the stove. Purdy’s going to drive me. Want to go?" “No, thank vou,” said Amy. “I am very tired. You know we had Christ s on display.

There has been in all nations a time when the minds of the people seem to have been carried away be- yond their natural character. Such times have been less frequent in Swit- zerland than elsewhere. Simplicity, frugality and moderation, the preserv- ers of liberty, have always been the portion of these people. They have never maintained armies to defend their own frontiers, or to make en- croachments on their neighbors. They have no citadels. which may be turned either against the citizens or the ene- my: nor do they groan beneath the ) burden of taxes. They have neither the calls of luxury nor the troops of a master to provide for. Their moun- tains are their only ramparts; and every member of the community is a soldler ready armed for the defense of the coumr Voltaire. | “Home, Sweet Home." !
