Niagara's Power
In all, some 1,467,000 horsepower,
equivalent to the energy of 45-,000,000
able-bodied men, is derived from the
hydroelectric piants run by Niagara
falls. By far the larger share is taken
^ from the Canadian side, where four
big stations, developing 110,000 to 600,
000 horsepower each, are located. The
largest was recently completed at an
expenditure of nearly $40,000,000,
after eight years of work. About 95
per cent of the flow of the river passes
over the Horseshoe falls, which has a
width of 2,600 feet, as against 1,000
feet for the American fail. In build-
ing the last big power station, engi-
neers tapped the river Above the falls,
thus increasing the drop of tlie water
to the turbines to 300 feet.—Popular

Famous Dime Novel Char-
acter Indignant at Tale.
l)eadwood, S. D. — “Deadwood
Dick/’ the old hero of a hundred dime
novels, who was recently reported
dead in California, is yelling his head
off denying that he is dead. He has
just written his Old friend, “Diamond
Dick,” saying he’s just as much alive
as he ever was. He is now living on
a ranch near Whitewood, S. D., at
the north end of the Black hills, the
scene of ail his “activities.”
“The fellow who died in California
was ‘One-Eye Dick,’ not ‘Deadwood
Dick,’ writes the latter gentleman.
“One-Eye Dick” was Dick Bullock.
Deadwood Dick’s name is Richard
Clark. Dick Bullock was a gold guard,
and with his winchester he brought
down millions and millions of dollars
in gold dust from the Black hills gold
mines to the refinery at Omaha, and
never lost an ounce of “dust.”
But Deadwood Dick. Of all the
popular dime-novel heroes, Deadwood
Dick stood at the very head when he
was In his prime about 40 years ago.
Every Saturday for years there was a
new Deadwood Dick novel out In
Beadle’s Dime Library.
Splendid Fellow—Our Hero.
All the boys of those years remem-
ber what a splendid character was
Deadwood Dick; how he galloped his
black stallion across the pages of
Beadle’s with fire and bullets stream-
ing from the muzzle of his two guns,
killing Indians, knocking out outlaws
like a champion bowler knocks down
tenpins, rescuing beautiful maidens
from deep-dyed villains, only to have
the maidens promptly fall in love with
him, discovering fabulously rich gold
mines in long-lost gulches, defending
the “tenderfoot,” righting the wrongs
of the weak and wearing Immaculate
linen and patent-leather top boots in
a country of red-flannel shirts and In-
dian moccasins.
Edward L. Wheeler made Deadwood
Dick famous and Deadwood Dick
made Edward L. Wheeler rich. As a
fact there were a dozen or so Dead-
wood Dicks bnt only one Edward L.
Wheeler. Wheeler and Beadle got a
copyright on the name in fiction and
kept the hero to themselves. After
Wheeler had made the name famous,
every fellow in the Black hills whose
name was “Richard” took the name
“Deadwood ’Dick” to himself. But
while many claimed the name, Dick
Clark was the man upon whom Dead-
wood bestowed the title “Deadwood
Dick.”
.In the early days Deadwood Dick
was really quite a character. He was
a miner, like everybody else In the
Black hills In those days. Gold was
the most plentiful thing in Deadwood
gulch and along Gold run in that pe-
riod.
Drove Stagecoaches Awhile.
Deadwood Dick drove a stagecoach
for a while, too, over a division of the
Deadwood-Sidney line. The railroad
was at Sidney, 250 miles away. But
Dick Clark never was “In it” for a
minute with that Deadwood Dick hero
created by Wheeler. There was a fel-
low who could drive six horses down
the mountainside, yelling and shouting
at the top of his voice, shooting right
and left-handed at the trees or at
birds on either side of the road and
bringing his team up short In front
of the Spread Eagle saloon. Dick
Clark was a pretty good driver and
his name was Deadwood Dick, but he
couldn’t drive like that dime-novel
Deadwood Dick could drive.
After the glamour had worn off,
gold mining in the Black hills had got
down to a rich man’s proposition and
a railroad had been built to the hills,
Dick Clark gave up mining and “bero-
lng” and went to work for the rail-
road trucking freight at the depot. Bat
Edward L. Wheeler refused to recog-
nize the changed conditions and kept
right on with his “untamed” and “un-
tamable” hero, Deadwood Dick.
Clark is now an old man and bears
mighty little resemblance to the dash-
ing character created for him by
Wheeler.

FIND MORE WONDERS
OF ANCIENT EMPIRE
Explorers Dig Up Fascinating
Mayan Art.
VINCENNES TO BUY
FT. SACKVILLE SITE
El Paso, Texas.—More wonders of
tlie long-buried Mayan empire have
been revealed. Although many square
miles still are blanketed by soil and
jungle growth at Chichen Itza, Yuca-
tan, the expedition of the Carnegie in-
stitution of Washington has just ac-
complished there its greatest year's
work in baring the splendors of the
Mayan empire after centuries of aban-
donment, according to Prof. Sylvanus
G. Morley, director of excavations.
He told of the season’s discoveries
in passing through here on his way
to Santa Fe, N. M.t to complete his
formal report. After the third sea-
son of excavation Prof. Morley has
suspended work until the end of the
rainy season next January.
The expedition discovered some
marvelously colored, well preserved
mural carvings, the brilliant yellow,
green and red shades of which had
retained their beauty for seven cen-
turies.
Carved human figures, which in an-
cient times adorned the cornices of
temples overlooking what Prof. Mor-
ley asserts was one of the greatest
civilizations the world has ever
known, were lifted from where they
crashed to the ground as time de-
stroyed the magnificent temples and
were carefully pieced together by the
scientists forming the Carnegie staff
at Chichen Itz#.
The Temple of Warriors there, Prof.
Morley said, is one of the finest speci-
mens of the beautifully proportioned,
esthetic ancient architecture of North
America. Excavations about it were
practically completed. Striking fig-
ures of giant serpents wTere replaced
in their original resting places again
surrounded by friezes of grotesquely
shaped eagles and jaguars, just as
they stood in ancient times.
More than fifty carved columns,
forming a portion of a giant colon-
nade flanking the Temple of Warriors,
were cleaned of the dense growth
which had covered them for centuries.
CAPITOL DECORATED
‘Talk’ on Locomotive
Whistles Irks Sleepers
New York City.—Engineers
on locomotives of Long Island
railroad trains hold long con-
versations at night by means of
blasts on their whistles and
also “play tunes” on them, and
smoke from the engines is
sometimes so dense that the en-
gines themselves are invisible,
at the. trial of the railroad on
the charge of inaintalhing a
public nnisance.
Now that congress has vacated the
capitol, the work of redecorating the
interior Is under way. Charles A.
Whipple, noted artist, has been re-
tained to retouch many of the valu-
able paintings that adorn the walls of
the building.
No Girl Too Young to
Teach, Nebraska Edict
Lincoln, Neb.—In Nebraska a girl
is never too young to teach.
That is the dictum of the Supreme
court in its ruling that Anne Joyce,
fifteen, and Mrs. Darline Johnson,
seventeen, are entitled to teachers’
certificates from the -department of
public instruction.
The young women carried their case
to the Supreme court after Superin-
tendent Masteeu of the department
had declined to issue certificates be-
cause of their youth, although both
were recognized as properly qualified
in training.
Miss Joyce was fourteen when she
applied for her certificate, after hav-
ing been graduated from high school
and completed two years’ work at
the state normal school.
Roast Pig and Dressing
National Dish of Cuba
Havana, Cuba.—Cuba’s national
dish is roast pig.
The pig, 20 to 40 pounds on the
hoof, is stuffed with a dressing made
with a bread base, to which is added
spices to suit the individual taste. It
takes the place of honor on “Noehe
Buena” (Christmas eve) instead of
the familiar American turkey on
Christmas day.
The most popular dish is chicken
and rice. The chicken is stewed and
the rice steamed separately. They
are combined with a few strips of a
mild red pepper grown in Cuba and
placed in uu earthenware dish and
baked. Sometimes eggs or saffron
are added to the rice.
Want Land for Geo. Rogers
Clark Memorial,
Vincennes, 1ml.—The city of Vin-
cennes has just taken the first formal
action for purchase of pa-*t of tlie
site of old Fort Sackville, iD the pass-
age of an ordinance by the city coun-
cil, under suspension of the rules, for
the issuance of $40,000 of bonds with
which to make the purchase.
Several weeks ago the V4ncennes
citizens leading In the movement for
the George Rogers Clark sesquicen-
tennial obtained options on the prop-
erty for the city of Vincennes. Mayor
Claude Gregg and his board of public
works has now ordered the options
closed, and notice has been given to
the ow-ners that the purchases will be
consummated.
Tk) property to be bought by the
city of Vincennes Includes the Eml-
son warehouse at First and Vigo
streets and all the property of the
same depth between Vigo and Barnett
streets, including the St. John's hotel.
As soon as the city acquires the
titles to the property, the buildings
will be razed, and the ground pre-
pared for beautification.
The George Rogers Clark sesqui-
centennial commission, headed by
William Fortune of Indianapolis, Is
planning for the sesquicentennial ob-
servance of the capture of Fort Sack-
ville by George Rogers Clark, in 1928
and 1929, as the major part of its
program for observance of the one
hundred fiftieth anniversary of the
conquest of tlie old northw-est terrb
tory by Clark.
Capture Came as Climax.
The capture of the fort at Vin-
cennes was the great heroic and im-
portant military event of the whole
revolution west of the Allegheny
mountains. It wras the climax of the
campaign led by Clark which shat-
tered British control of the region
north of the Ohio river.
It is the purpose of the commis-
sion to purchase the remainder of the
old fort site, and the erection thereon
of the national memorial to Clark.

The Ten Commandments furnish us
with the greatest moral code that the
world has ever seen.
I. The Preface to the Decalogue
(yv. 1, 2).
The Ten Commandments are based
upon the truth seLforth in the preface.
Two great thoughts underlie this.
What the Lord is and what He did.
What He is is embodied in the name
Jehovah-Elohim. The name Jehovah
sets forth three great troths, viz.;
1. His all-sufficiency. AH that He
is and does centers In Himself.
2. His sovereignty. There Is no be-
ing equal to Him, nor above Him. He
is outside of and above every being in
the universe. He is Immanent and
transcend ant.
3. His unchangeableness. The “I
am that I am” (Ex. 3:14) may be ex-
panded Into “I am what I was,” “I will
be wbat I am,” “Jesus Christ is the
same yesterday, today., and forever
(Heb. 13:8). The name Elohim signi-
fies the strong and mighty one. Wbat
He did is asserted to be their deliver-
ance froip Egyptian bondage.
II. The First Commandment (v. 3).
“Thou shalt have no other gods be-
fore Me” means literally, *Thou shalt
have no other gods before My face.”

Benton Harbor, Mich.-—A distance
of 1,700 miles, a journey of a day

across two river courses were not

old collie, from returning to his Ben-
ton Harbor home from Florida, where
he had gone with his master.

God or a false god. Life itself with all

2. By making pleasure the goal of
onr lives and spending onr time and

3. By being covetous (Col. 3:5).

: God with false forms. This command-
ment may be broken:
1. By resorting to the use of crosses
and images in our worship.
2. By putting into the place of
Christ the pope and following after
priestcraft. It should be observed that
this commandment is accompanied
with a warning and a promise. The
warning is that iniquity will be visited
upon the children even to the third
and fourth generation. The promise is
that He will show mercy to thousands.
This means that the workings of the
same divine law will pass on God’s
mercy to thousands of generations.

In a lying, deceptive and unreal way.
The word “guiltless” Is from a Hebrew
word, the root-meaning of which is to
be clean, to go unpunished. The mean-
ing, therefore, Is that God will not hold
such a man to be clean and will not
allow him to go unpunished who takes
the divine name in a lying and hypo-
critical way.
The third commandment may bo
broken:
L By profanity.
2. By perjury.
3. By levity and frivolity.
4. By hypocrisy, which Is profess-
ing to live for God when living for self.
V. The Fourth Commandment (vr.
8-11).
The essential principle embodied in
this commandment is work and rest.
It enjoins work on six days and for-
bids work on the seventh. The com-
mand to work six days is just as bind-
ing as the rest on the seventh. Only
those who have worked can really
rest. This commandment may be
broken:
1. By living in Idleness.
2. By working on the day set apart
for the worship of God.
3. By making it a day of feasting.
4. By devoting it to pleasure and
games.

THOUGHT MALARIA
STILL IN SYSTEM
Until Dodson’s Liver Tone
Drove Out Quarts of Sour
Bile and Other Poisons.
There are entire sections where ev-
eryone seems to think they have ma-
laria. Others believe they never fully
got the malarial poison ont of their
systems.
Arnold Whlteson says: “For years I
took calomel for the aches, bilious-
ness, headache, constipation and the
deathly feeling associated with what
we believed to be malaria.
“Last year I heard about Dodson’s
Liver Tone and bought a bottle, for a
few cents. Man, man, what a Godsend.
In the morning it drove out quarts
of black, sour bile. I got back my
appetite for food, braced right up and
haven’t had a sick spell since. When-
ever I feel a little bilious or tbe stom-
ach gets sour, one dose of Dodson’s
Liver Tone is ail I need. It is surely
a blessing.”
Hundreds of others tell the same
experience.
Take a spoonful of Dodson’s Liver
Tone tonight and you will wake up
feeling great No more biliousness,
constipation, sluggishness, headache,
coated tongue or sour stomach. Your
druggist says if you don’t find Dod-

Jack, on the front veranda. Presently
his older sister, carrying a sliced
juicy lemon, came out of the house.
“Bobby,” she interrupted, “sfop your
playing for a minute. I*ra going
to put some lemon juice on your face
to take the freckles off.”
“Honest, will his freckles come
off?” wide-eyed Jack -questioned.
Bobby’s sister assured him they would.
“Then.” said Jack with a deter-
mined air, “I'm going to stay here and
catch them when they fall off.”
