DANIEL BOONE. THE GREAT
KENTUCKIAN
Daniel Boone was the son of Quaker
parents who lived In Pennsylvania. Al
though the principal doctrine In the
Quaker creed Is that man must not ,
kill, Daniel departed from the fitlth of |
his fathers early and he became one ;
of the greatest Indian lighters In
American history.
When Boone was eighteen his par
ents moved to North Carolina and in !
the Yadkin valley of that state, young
Boone became an expert woodsman
and hunter. Attracted by the tales of I
a hunter who had crossed the Appa
lachians Into the unknown Kentucky j
country, Boone visited the Blue Grass j
state several times until he. tinaliy de
cided to make that country his home.
In 1775 he etsablishad Boonesborough,
the first outpost of civilization In the
“Dark and Bloody Ground,” as Ken- j
tucky was called because It was a bat
tleground for many tribes of Indians.
Boone’s adventures with the Indians
In his new home were Innumerable. In
1778 he was captured by the Shaw
nees, who admired the scout's courage
so much that he was not put to death.
Instead Chief Black B'lsh adopted him,
giving him the name of Big Turtle—
rather an Inappropriate title for a man
so active. Boone pretended to be well
pleased with his eaptlvity and after
several months the watchfulness of
the savages relaxed. Then he made
his escape.
Several years later this same band
•f ShRwnees came to Booneshorough
to kidnap their former paptlve. They
found Boone In a little shanty used
for drying tobacco.
"Now Boone, we got you," said the
Indians. "You no get away this time.”
"Yes, you have me but I am glad to
go with you,” replied the scout, “but I
want my friends to have some of this
tobacco."
He gathered up a number of the
dryest leaves and. unseen by the In
dians, crushed them In his hands. Be
fore they could move, he threw the
powdered tobacco Into their eyes. As
the blinded savages rolled on the floor
howling and digging at their eyes, the
former "Big Turtle" showed unex
pected speed and was far up the trail
to the fort before they could pursue
him.
In his later years Boone was cheat
ed out of the rich Kentucky lands he
had fought so hard to win and he mi
grated to Missouri, becoming a hunter
once more, lie died there In 1820 at
the age of eighty-six. A quarter of a
century Inter Kentucky paid him he
Inted honor by removing Ills body to
the capital of the state and today Dan
iel Boone sleeps In the land where he
won fame as a pioneer and scout.

‘CORPSE’ TAPS ON COFFIN LID
Japanese Woman Supposed to Be
Dead Is Removed From Coffin
and Lives Two Days Longer.
Tokyo.—The story of a woman who
knocked on the lid of her colfln after
It had been prepared und sealed for
burial has been revealed by theJai>aii
Times and Mall.
It Is stated that the woman aje
purently died one morning and ar
rangements were Immediately made
for the funeral. Priests were sent
for and the usual service read over
the coffin.
Suddenly the priests and others
heard a feeble knocking Inside the
coffin. The lid was removed and
the mourners f«md that the woman
was alive. They called her name.
She replied : “I am thirsty. Give me
some water." Water was given und
she was removed to her bed, hut died
two days later.
Get One Chance to Marry.
During times of Albanian feuds,
which amount to tribal warfare, wom
an attend largely to outdoor duties.
Marriage Is by contract; generally ar
ranged upon the birth of a child. A
woman exercises no choice, hut has a
veto power In respect to her husband.
Should she not wish the man of her
parent's arrangement, she may reject
bltn; hut, In that event, must take
vows to remain a virgin, assume the
status of a man, and In some regions
she dons men’s clothing, Should she
marry another man, her rejected suit
or's family must seek blood vengeance
upon her male relatives.—National Ge
ographic Society Bulletin.
Literary Lid It Off.
Rome of our story writers are run
ning riot with their similes. Here
are a few we gathered In our late
reading:
"Iler lips quivered like a light auto."
"He edged nearer to her until he
was almost as close as the air in the
subway.”
“But his mind, like her face, was
made up.”
“Her hair ftwpped on her pallid
cheek like seaweed on a clam.”
"He gazed anxiously at her fuce, i
the way a person In a taxi gazes at i
the face ‘of the meter.”—Boston Tran- I

Young Persia.
(Prepared by the NatlonaJ OeoKraphic So
ciety, Washington, D. C.)
Unlike Babylonia, Assyria and
Chaldea, which existed little longer
than during their periods of great
power, Persia, once the peer of any
of them, has maintained Its entity
through an ebb and flow of fortune,
down to the present day. And now
the World war may be said to have
caused the “rediscovery" of this his
toric i i.untry, though Its recent align
ment with soviet Hussin holds out
possibilities that It may not receive
from the Western world the rejuve
nation that was promised.
Darius would fall to recognize as
his mighty empire the narrow limits
of modern Iran, Us borders now far
withdrawn from the waters of the
Oxtis and the Indus, from the shores
Of the Mediterranean and the wide
spread Mesopotamian plains; but the
nucleus still is there In territory, race,
language and customs.
Persia of today Includes within a
territory still three times thp size of
France, ancient Media, mountainous
Parthla and the province of r'ars,
whence sprang her first great dynasty.
Such monuments to the glory of the
great kings us the ruined capitals of
Suss, Persepolla and Ekbntana still
stand on Persian soil.
The majority of thp present Inhabi
tants, although tinged with the blood
of Greek, Arab, Turk and Mongol con
querors, are the lineal descendants of
the original Irtinlan, nr Aryan, popu
lation, and speak a Inngimge which
has for Its basic demerit the ancient
Persian tongue.
Sultan Ahmed Shah, the one hun
dred fifty-sixth “king of kings," sits
on the tottering Persian throne, while
the future of Ills kingdom rests in the
hands of outside powers.
Vast Desert Plateau With Oases.
Modem Persia, with the exception
of the prosperous northwest province
of Turkish-speaking Azerbaijan and
the semi-tropical region between the
HHburz mountains and the Caspian j
seH, can be characterized as a vast, |
mountniri-ribhed desert plateau, stud- ,
ded here and there with oases which
most frequently form ribbons of fer |
tile green fringing the desert at the j
bases of sterile mountain slopes from
whose snow-clad summits comes the I
life-giving moisture.
The encircling mountain walls shut
out the rain from the central table
laud. Itlvers with sources but no
mouths flow half the year and lose
themselves In the parched desert
wastes.
The density of population la less J
than that of Texas, and more than
half the country is an uninhabited
Sahara, some of It unexplored. Much
Of the remainder U suitable only for
sheep-grazing part of the year, thus
forcing upon a fourth of her ten mil
lion people a semi nomadic existence
between the high, well-watered moun
tain valleys In the summer und the
warm plains In the brief winter sea
son.
Borne of these tribes, like the Kurds,
rarely leave their mountain homes,
where they exist Independently of
tentral government control. Others,
like the Ohashgul- and Bakhtlarls,
sometimes by coercion and sometimes
through necessity of political alliance,
are vassals of the state, although they
pay allegiance only to their chiefs,
who arrnnge with regal authority for
their followers the matters of taxes
snd military service.
Cities are naturally few und small,
there being but two or three of more
than 100,000 Inhabitants. The lower
mountain valleys and the oases are
the centers for both town nnd agri
cultural population, und the wonder
ful fertility of these scattered areas,
snatched from the blighting grasp of
the desert, forms the basis for the
startling contrasts in the climate of
this unusual country.
Water Is the chief concern of the
Persian peasant. Wherever he can
divert the flow of a mountain stream
or build a crude canal from a well
or spring, a small portion of the des
ert becomes a paradise and lie pro»
pers. Certain of these regions are
said to be among the most fertile in
the world, producing In abundance not
only the finest of wheat and barley,
but grapes, apricots, peaches, nectar
ines, pomegranates, figs and melons
which are unsurpassed among the
fruits of the temperate zone. Cotton
and tobacco thrive, and roses, as well
as other flowers, gloriously deserve
thp frequent association of their
names with that of Persia.
Now Has Chance to Develop.
The day Is at hand as one of the
by-products of the war, when Persia
has the opportunity to begin to learn
from British experts, not only how
to reclaim more desert land by build
ing better aqueducts and by throwing
barrages across mountnin gorges to
store the surplus of the spring fresh
eta, hut how to establish closer com
munication with the outside world
and to develop her great potential re
sources.
Lacking in the energy, Initiative
and co-operative spirit necessary to
develop their country themselves, the
Persians ha\e suffered from the Jeal
ous rivalry of their neighbors, and
from a seclusion forced by nature, but
belled by their central geographical
location, In all the recent history-mak
ing disturbances In the Near and Mid
dle East.
In spite of her position as a ver
itable Asiatic Belgium. Persia Is
strangely cut oft from world Inter
course by those same natural bar
rlers which so affpet her climate.
At the opening of this century not
a single highway suitable for wheeled
conveyances pierced the mountains to
the plateau. A few foreign officials
and infrequent venturesome travelers
made their toilsome way by caravan
over tortuous passes to the Persian
capital or to other Persian cities, and
the Persians themselves for the most
part stayed at home. But about UWO
a government-subsidized Russian com
pany opened a post road, ns a mili
tary-commercial venture, which
climbed from the Persian port of
Enzall. on the Caspian sea. to the
capital city, Teheran.
Five years ago three or four [tost
carrloge routes and a narrow-gauge
railway running five and a half miles
frotr. Teheran to a suburban shrine
were the only competitors of the pic
turesque bpt slow-moving caravan.
Teheran's Fine Location.
No one knows how long there has
been a city where the present capi
tal of Persia stands. It has not al
ways been called Teheran, nor has It
always been In the same spot; but a
city has existed In the locality as far
back as Persian history reuches.
Such a suitable site could hardly be
overlooked. It Is at an altitude of
nearly 4,000 feet, at the foot of tower
ing mountains, at the Junction of three
great Asiatic caravan routes, near
mountain passes, and beside an ample
supply of water. Favored In these
ways, It lias accumulated a population
of more than 300.000 since the begin
ning of the Nineteenth century.
The latitude Is that of Cape Hat
teras. The three summer months sre
exceedingly hot and dry, but If one
wishes the luxury of a summer resort
It Is at his door.
Although occupying an ancient sits,
Teheran Is a modern city. It has
been the capital of Persia only a lit
tle more than a century, and has been
an Important metropolis for a much
shorter time than that.
In Journeying to Teheran from the
Caspian sea, so sudden Is the tran
sition from desert to city that before
on* realizes that the Journey Is at
an end he finds himself clattering
across the stone causeway over the
moat toward the most surprising of
gateways, a great multicolored facade
overlaid with a guy mosaic of glisten
ing tiles and topped with numerous
minarets ornamented In the same
fashion.
Teheran Is one of those numerous
cities between the Near and the Far
East which rails for u modification of
Kipling’s oft-quoted line; for here
East and West have met, but have
not mixed.
