[Omahia LIVING NYTHS OF lll\T()R\ \ nts of Ripe Imaginations Oiroulated a8 Truths, OF THEM A BATCH NAILED UP Tell and His Apple, Washington and His Hatehet, John Smith and Pocahont: and Other Ancient Yarns Laid on the Shelf for Hepairs, The African king, Prester John, never had an existence, says Pearson's Weekly. There never was such a person as Pope Joan, the so-called female pontiff William Tell did not found the Swiss con- federation, and the story of Gessler has no historic basis. There Is no historic authority for the statement that little George Washington cut down the cherry tree, Charlemagno’s palading had no exitsence, and the history of Charlemagne himself s 80 clouded by myth as to be utterly un- reliable. Wellington at Waterloo did not say: “Up, guards, and at 'em!" The words were put into his mouth by an imaginary writer. The mother of Corlolanus did not inter- cede with her son to spare Rome. The story has no better foundation than that of Hora tius, There 1s no reason to believe that insulted Lucretia. His power was thrown in a popular tumult, which only basis for the story. Pocahontas did not save the life of John Smith. It has been ascertained that this worthy man was the most able-bodied pre- varicator of his century The story of King Arthur and his round table is myth, although what purports to be the round table is still to be scen in a south of England town Alfred the Great did not visit camp disguised as a minstrel. There is no good reason to believe that he could either play the harp or speak Danish The maelstrom s not a whirpool which sucks ships done into the depths of the ocean. It is an eddy, which in fair weather can be crossed in safety by any vessel. Queen Eleanor did not suck the poison from her husband’s wounds, as she did not accompany him on the expedition during which the Incident is alleged to have taken place, Cromwell and Hampden did not attempt to sall to America just before the outbreak of the English revolution. A number of their friends did, but they had no thought of going. The “Man in the Iron Mask” did not wear a mask of iron. It was black velvet, se- cured by steel springs. The wonderful Damascus blades that cut bars of iron In two were not superior to the Toledo blades made today. Seneca was not a half-Christian philoso- pher, but a grasping money lender and usurer who died worth over £8,000,000, [§ or did not say, “Et tu, Brute." Bye dithesses to the assasshiation deposed that “he died fighting, but silent, like a wolf.” Richard 111 was not @ hunchback, but a soldier of fine form, some pretentions to good looks, and great personal strength and courage. Augustus was not the public benefactor he is represented. He was the most exacting tax collector the Roman world had up to this time ever seen. Mucius Scaevola never put his hand in the fire. The story wa u fabrication of a Roman historian hundreds of years after the supposed_time. Blondel, the harper, did not discover the prison of King Richard. Richard paid his ransom, and the receipt for it is.among the Austrian archives. Horatius never defended the bridge, The story was manufactured by the same gifted author who gave to the world the account of Scaevola’s heroism. General Cambronne did mot say: “The guard dies, but does not surrender.” The words were the invention of a Paris Journalist and attributed to him. Caeser did not cross the Rubicon. It lay on the opposite side of the Italian penin- sula from the point where he left his own possessions and entered Italy. The bridge of sighs at Venice has no ro- mance worthy the name. Most of the un- fortunates who cross it are petty thieves who are sent to the workhouse. Fair Rosamond was not poisoned by Queen Eleanor, but after a long residence as a nun in the convent of Gadstow, died greatly estcemed by her associates. Diogenes never lived in a tub. The story that he did so has no better origin than a comment by a biographer that “a man so erabbed ought toeve lived in a tub lke a dog.” Willlam Rufus was not accidentally shot by an arrow from the bow of Walter Tyr- rell. Heo was assassinated. His body when found bore the marks of three or four sword thrusts. There was probably no such man as Rom- ulus, The first historian who mentions him lived at a distance of time so great as to throw extreme discredit on the story as told by him. Alexander the Great did not weep for other worlds to conquer. There is reason to suspect that his army met with a serious re- verse in India, a fact that induced him to re- trace his steps. The immense over is the the Danish burning glasses with which Archimedes burned the ships of the be- siegers of Syracuse at ten miles' distance were never manufactured, and it is now known that they could not have existed. Vinegar will not split rocks; so Hannibal could not have thus made his way throug the Alps. Nor will it dissolve pearls, 5o that the story of Cleopatra drinking pearls melted in vinegar must have been a fiction. “Madcap Harry” was not sent to prison by Sir William Gascolgne, the stern judge, nor was the Iatter reappointed by the prince when he became king, and the story did not appear for 150 years after that time. The existence of the Collossus of Rhodes fs considered by some historians extremely doubtful. There is no evidence that the ancients were able to cast pieces of metal of such size as must have entered into its com- position. The blood of Rizzio, Mary Stuart's favor- ite, cannot be seen on the floor where he was murdered by Darnley and the other con- spirators. What is seen there is a daub of red paint, annually renewed for the benefit of gaping tourlsts. The pass of Thermopylae was defended, not by 300, but at least 7,000 Greeks, or, ac- ling to some writers, 12,000. The 300 were the Spartan contingent, who showed no more bravery on that ogeasion than their companions in arms from ofhgr Greek states. Mary Stuart of Scotlangd, Was not a beauty. She had cross eyes, and to save the troublo of having her hair dressed gul it off close to her head and wore a wig. When, after her ath, the executioners lifted her head to show 1t to the people the, Wig came oft and displayed a close-cropped skull covered with gray halr, Queen Elizabeth was not the angelic crea- ture ropresented in the histories and poems of her own times, Her hair was red, her temper ved hot. She spmetimes drank too much, and at any provgeallpn would carry on like a trooper. She froquently raved at her maids, and sometimes styuck, kicked and pinched them Nero was no monster. Ji{s, mother, Agrips RIME IN HIGH PLACES! 16 is uot strange that some psople do wrong through ignorance, others from afailure to investigate as to tho right or wrong of a matter. But it is strange, that individuals aud firms, who ave fully aware of the rights of others, will per- sist in perpetrating frauds upon them. High-toned, wealthy manufrcturing firms will offer and sell to retail mer- chants, articles which thoy know to be infringements on the rights of proprie- tors, and imitations of well known goods. We want tosound a note of warning to the retailers to beware of such imita- tions aud simulations of “CArTER'S LiT- TLE LIVER PILLS.” When they are of- fored to you, rofuse them; you do not want to do wrong, and you don’t want to lay yourself liable to' a lawsuit. Ben Franklin said “*Honesty is the best poli- ey’ it is just as trae that “Honesty is thebest principle.” pina, | did he play upon his harp and sing the Burning of Troy" while Rome was on fire Our knowledge of him is gained from Tacle tus, who hated him, and from Petronius Arbiter, who was put to death for conspiring against him Hannibal did not send three bushels ot gold rings plucked from the hands of Roman knights killed on the fleld of Canna back to Carthage as evidence of his victory. The messenger who carried the news back to the Carthaginfan senate, on concluding his re. port, “opened his robe and threw out a num. ber of gold rings gathered on the fleld.” Pitt did not use the expression, “the atro- ous crime of being a young man.” The words were used by Dr. Johnson, who was not present, but wrote a report of the speech from an abstract glven him by a hearer. Worshipers aro not erushed by hundreds under the wheels of the car of Juggernaut The ear has not been taken out of the tom plo for man: nd such deaths as fc merly occurred exceptional or acel dental Columbus did not make an end to confute his opponents performed by Brungleschi, the architect, to silence critics who asked him how he was golng to support the dome of the cathedral of Floreno Constan murdered was not put to death by his order, he were egg stand on The foat was ine the Great was not a saint, He his wife, one or two of and a considerable number of other relatives He was a Christian only in name and seems to have known little or nothing of the reli- gion he professed Phillip 111 of Spain was not roasted to death by a roaring fire because court etiquet forbade any one to come to his assistance. He died a natural death, and the story is told of a dozen different mona who were sticklers for ceremony The hanging gardens of Babylon did not hang, nor were they garden hey wer terraces supported by arches and o wn with trees. They were erected the amusement of a Babylonian queen had come from a mountainous countr Charles IX did not fire on the Huguenots from the window of the during the massacre of St. Bartholomew On the contrary, he was frightened almos to death by the reports of the guns and spent the time in weeping and his hands he seige chs for who fleeing mostly of myth figures, it thero Helen it of Troy was According to Homer's own over was such a man as Homer, have been at least 60 years of age when she first met Paris, and even in the heroic period of the world women of that age were a trifle passee. Louls XVI did whelming dignity at his execution.

At the junction of the two country roads from whicn the community detives its name stands a pretty Methodist chureh, where the good farmers and their families wor- ship. At this church was begun on the 25th a trial that will take the thoughts of those present from the Salem of mod- ern Ohio back to the town of the same name that ruled the destinies of the old Bay state and hung witches in the seventeenth century. For the past two years several families attend- ing the church have been possessed with the idea that they ar witched and that some person living in the com- munity had an evil eye in his head which blasted everything that came within the range of its vision. Last summer Howard Hughes, a well known farmer, dug a well on his place, but after d ging to what he considered a suflicient depth failed to strike water. He was nonvlused for the moment, but, having a half belief in witches, came to the con- clusion that his well was bewitched. He went to Alliance to consult with a Dr. Hoff, a septuagenarian who claims to be a witch doctor. Hoff went back with Hughes, and descending into the well built a five, and throwing several pow. ders into the blaze went through a pow- wow performance. On coming to the surface Dr. Hoff told Hughes that William Culp, a trustee of their church and the wealthiest farmer in the neighborhood s causing all the trouble with his evil eye and that the well wonld remain dry until after Culp’s death. Hughes told the Breen and Loop families, who also had a weakness for witches, that Culp was _the wizard who was bringing all the bad luck on them. ['rom time to time the deluded people kept clear of Culp, but denounced him as an evil man to all who would listen to them. Culp stood the nonsense for awhile, but it finally became so0 annoying that he complained to Rev. J. Hollister of Alliance, the pastor of the church. The minister endeavored to'have them meet Culp with a view to having all misunder- standings cleared up, but they refused, saying they could have no church fellow- ship with him after the trouble his wicked powers had brought upon them. The minister then told them th sinful belief would lead to their expulsion from the church and make them the laughing stock of the country, and unless they stopped it he would give the case into the hands of the presiding elder of the district and organize a church court. This scared them and they remained silent until within the past month, when some eattle belonging to Norman Breen took sick and died. Then a relative of Hughes fell and broke his leg, and to the superstitions families everything they have done recently seemed to turn out badly Dr. Hoff has been a fr their homes of late and steeped their intelleets mor the vridiculous beliel. Th have been very ctive in den Culp as a wizard and dangerous on and advising their friends to keep away from him.

The canaigre tuber resembles In shape the sugar beet. They are planted one in a hill, Dike potatoes, the rows being thirty inches apart and the plants from nine to twelvo inches apart in the row. A ton of tubers will plant an acre. The plants grow vigor- ously and a dozen tubers, morc or less, form in each hill, where the seed tuber grows in size and, unlike tho seed potato, at the end of the season it is as good as any taken in the hill, only it larger. The tubers are planted and harvested as potatoes are planted and harvested. he man who grows thi with many advantages in takes care of his crop during the winter and spring months, using irrigation as may be necegsary and desirable, and when (he ot smmmer months come ho is through his work for the scazon and can ctire to the seacoast and take the summ with no farm cares to worry him ‘following October he can harvest and plant again, getting ready Another seaso 4 It scoms as though crop was practieally unlimited, and that bu. would never be overdone, but, course, regarding this the future will dec pro- beyond ully in the 50 scat- the ex- the nd is ng. and heni- 1 large ock plant, its wion, o0 s0 He fall, sueh crop can his favor. n his for e the crop this the of the market fol more definitely canaigre ) far as oxperience the would tuber improves with culfivation.
