Show ERRATIC OLD RIVER FOR STATE MUSEUM MISSOURI HAS RECCTD FOR ING QUEER THINGS. Owners of Property Have No Excuse from Lack of Case in HAVE YOU TRIED Along Its Ban There are rivers of all lengths and sizes and all degrees of wetness. There are river with all sorts of peculiarities and with widely varying claims to fame. But there isTbnly one river with a personality, habits, dissipations, a sense of humor and a woman's caprice; a river that gees traveling sidewlse, that interferes in politics, rearranges geography and dabbles In real estate; a river that plays hide and seek with you and follows you around like a pet dog with a dynamite cracker tied to it3 tail. That river is the Missouri, sayi a writer in the American Magazine. This thing happened in Kansas City not maay years ago: A party of men owned a strip of kind along the Missouri river bank. It was not hand-houiland, but it was valuable for factory purposes. They were offered portly prices for it. but held on. One day they noticed that the strip was getting emaciated. They held a hurried diagnosis with a surveyor's tape and fouud that half of it had been washed away. The next year half of the remainder had gone. The men wanted to sell then, but the market seemed remarkably sluggish. The next year the river ate so vigorously that only a tiny strip about us wide as a piece of baby ribbon was left. The men were much depressed. Suddenly the land began to increase. The Missouri had chosen the late manufacturing site for a place to farm upon deposit a fine which It had foreclosed up the river. Inside of six months that strip of land contained 200 acres. The men were Jubilant but still they would not sell. They wanted another 100 acres, they said. They strolled along the liauk each day and urged the river, in proprietary tones, to build faster. Then the river ('hanged its mind once more and not only wiped out the extra 100 acres but the original 100 acres, every foot of It. The next year it built up 500 acres in the same spot, but they all belonged to the man who owned the ground behind the original plot. They have stayed there ever since that is, up to last reports. For high financing and property juggling the Missouri makes a crooked lawyer look like a child. I hate to think what it would do for a man if it had a personal friendship for him.

G. About-StaPoints on Coins. "Pew people, with the exception of coin collectors, notice such minor details, but it Is a rather interesting fact to note that on one side of some of our coins the stars have five points, a:; upon the flag, while on the other thl? the Btara have six," an official of the Washington mint recently remarked. "In English heia'.Ury," Tie continued, "a correct star had six or more points usually six. When designs for the first American coins were made the heraldic usage was followed and the slars given six points. The Hag of the nation was made up very largely from the coat of arms of the Washington family. In which, for tome reason, the stars have but five points. "On the obverse of our present Quarter and half dollar the stars, 13 in number, are six pointed, while on the reverse they are five pointed. This difference is due to the fact that the reverse of these coins 13 simply a copy of the great seal of the United States, except that the clouds are On the great seal and on omitted. the seal of the president the stars are five pointed, while the seal of the house of representatives shows six pointed stars." Where She Lost Interest. "Automobiling does tousle one's hair so:" said the beautiful young creature as they descended from the machine and started up the dark walk toward the house where they were to call. It does?" he inquired politely. "Yes; it gives It the same effect as though one had been struggling to avoid being kissed," she gurgled. 'Indeed? I fancy you should carry a small hand mirror and some hairpins when you go automobiling," he suggested, moving right up the dark walk. Some way or other, by one of those unex:lalnable psychological impulses, at that very moment she began to real-lihe was not the man she would select as an affinity.

Rooster Fights Dogs. that a barnyard fowl Utains neighborhood popularity, but nuch is the case with a large Massachusetts red rooster belonging to Charles Davis of 4415 St. John avenue. A few weeks ago Mr. Davis was attracted to his barnyard by the whines of a setter pup he is train ing. He found that the dog had been driven into a corner, and was being savagely attacked by the big cock, and before he could Interfere in behalf of the pup it had been pretty heavily marked by the rooster's spurs. Since that time "Red," as he has come to be called, has become a neighborhood bully, and refuses to allow pigs or dogs to come within the grounds under his rule. Curiously enough, dogs will not fight back, but actually run from his assaults. As for game cocks, he has probably thrashed more of them than any other bird lu the city. Kansas City Journal.

Too The Daughters of the Revolution in Indiana will petition the legislature to buy the old William Henry Hai for a rison mansion at Vincennes state historical museum. This is not the first effort that has been made to have the state buy the house, for historical societies have endeavored to have it kept as a lasting monument to the memory of those who built so well and as a reminder that this was the birthplace of government, religion and education in the west where the foundations of a large portion of the country were laid, says the ladianapolis News. It was here that the first rresbyleilan church service was held in the north west. in 1833 Thomas Cleveland went to YluceniK's and preached the first Presbyterian service in the Wilderness in what Is known as the coun cil loom of the Harrison house. The house is two stories high, with K large attic, and a basement under the entire It Is threatened place. with sale to a buyer who may turn It into a storage house. The owner would prefer to have it bought by the State or a society for an historical ran- scum. The house is 60 by Ti and the lot by 200 by 125. There are 20 rooms. Its construction was begun in 1790, and H was completed In 1801 and 1S05. The ceilings are 13' feet high, and the rooms are spacious. The walls are of brick, and Inside and out are 18 inches thick. The glass in the windows came from England, and It took two years to have them dellv- ered. The wood was sawed with the old fashioned whlpsaw, and all the nails were hand forged on the grounds. The woodwork is hard paneled, finished with beading and is of It Is said solid, cle3r black walnut. is that the walnut In the house worth, a small fortune. The most Important room In the house is the council room with Its huge fireplace. One feature Is the great reception hall with r Its stairway that makes a turn in its ascent and has no visible means of support. The woodwork in the hall was all finished by hard. There are secret places In the house that are supposed to have been used fur the storage of valuables. The woodwork is perfectly fitted and with wooden plus so that after 100 years it takes close scrutiny to know where the joints are located. Directly under the front door is the ld powder magazine. The floors all through the basement are solid and dry and in one of the rear rooms swinging In the old fireplace Is the old crane where the venison, buffalo and bear meat was cooked. Many distinguished guests ' partook of the hospitality of William Henry Harrison. The skilled labor was paid $23,000 for its work, and the slaves did all the heavy carrying and lifting. Indiana had a great many relies among the families of the state, and many of these people would be glad to contribute to the historical collection if there were a state historical museum such as this old mansion might be made. Hundreds of people visit the house now and travel many miles over this and adjoining states to do It. The many visitors have become a burden to the owners, who never know when they are to have requests from people to see the house. If there was more in the house to see the old mansion would become a Mecca for the patriotic sons and daughters of Indiana. Personal Responsibility, $50,OUO. Paid up Capital $10,000.
