CAN OUTRUN WILD HORSES
Santo Domlnso Indians Are crtditet)
With Remarkable Speed and
Powers of Endurance.
In the ct9 days of the "wild ant
aoolly Wei f." plainsmen and traveleri
by overlanR wagons held to the beliel
that a lon.r fmrney could be made
more speedily by man afoot than on
horseback. lr the army the Impres
sion generally la accepted that Infan
try can ouUravel cavalry on long,
marches. But t the Santo Domingo
Indians or .N--.v? Mexico belongs the
credit of chasing wild horses ever the
ranges of tte hliis until the animals
are exhausted and submit to capture.
No marathon runners have ever
been recruited from this tribe of
Pueblo Indians, for the wonderful
powers of endurance of the runners of
the tribe are little known outside the
district Immediately surrounding their
village.
These runners of the Santo Domln
gos come from a race of fleet-footed
ancestors. Like all tribes of American
Indians, they have accepted the means
of traveling best suited to the country
where they live. The Sioux of the Da
kotas are horsemen. The Santo Do
mingos have been walkers and run
ners always. Their physiques show
the results of generations of footmen.
Great chests, almost abnormal in de
velopment, wedge upward from slen
der waists, while sinewy calves pro
claim the strength to hold to a hard
trail.
Usually their chases of the bands of
wild horses owned by the tribe are
matters of necessity. The enormous
stretches of broken country where
the horses graze, and the untamed
spirits of animals that may not hate
been touched by man in their several
years of existence in the hills, make
It necessary to wear the creatures out
and run them down. None but a Santo
Domingo Indian probably is able to
do it.
A courier of the Santo Domingo
tribe rode 30 miles at furious speed to
the pueblo of a neighboring band,
bearing a message. His horse was
staggering when the town w as reached.
A hasty consultation was called. The
answer was handed to the Santo Do
mingo youth. Nodding, he turned
toward home.
"Ho! Your horse?" a headman
called.
The courier said:
"I leave him. I must go fast The
race w ould kill my horse."
In the Face of Worries.
Here is a special reason for seeking
society or the theater: Other people,
in real lite or on the stage (better In
real life, of course, because there one
has to talk back), can best pull one out
of oneself when one's own powers are
utterly inadequate. - When actual
causes of anxiety seem overwhelming,
if one can be made to forget them for
a time, hope comes into the ascen
dant. The best of all remedies is
perhaps the most difficult, though not
impossible. It is to "rise superior" to
your troubles to convince yourself,
lift yourself, force yourself Into the
feeling of directorship of competent
and confident directorship of all your
affairs. ' Add "with God's help" if you
want to, for that may back up our
wdYthy intentions more even than our
ancestors began to realize whatever
they professed to believe. This feel
ing of calm adequacy does much to se
cure adequacy, and what is of perhaps
more Importance, compels peace- Un
popular Review.
Wiping Out Beasts of Prey.
A mountain lion recently killed In
the Grand Canyon game preserve,
which adjoins the Tusayan national
forest measured ten feet from nose
to tail. MountaJu lions and other
beasts of prey such as wolves, coy
otes and wildcats, are killed by forest
officers and gam wardens because
they are a menace to stock and to
game animals.
Flower of Many Colors.
A marvelous flower grows on the
lsthmus of Tehuafftepec. It chief pe
culiarity is the batlt of changing Its
color during the day. In the morning
It Is white, when the aun Is at Its
zenith It Is red, and at night It is
blue.
THE DAILY NEBBASKAN
THEIR GROCERY BILL
OF COURSE MA WAS MOST ECO
NOMICAL,. CUT
The Family Had to Have Butter and
Anything But the Best, and Lots
of It Was Out of the
Question.
"Our grocery bill is larger again
this month." said pa. glumly, accord
ing to the Hoston Globe. "We have
got to cut down expenses."
"l m sure I try," replied ma. In an
Injured tone. "I try to get along as
economically as possible, but we must
eat, and everything is 'out of Bight.'
Perhaps you can suggest where we
can cut down."
"Well. I don't know Just where. The
children might get along without but
ter on their bread when they pile on
jelly the way they do. Rutter is a
big item."
"Oh. pa. that would be terrible."
cried Mary. "I guess you never tried
just eating bread and Jelly."
"Indeed. I Save, and thought it was
mighty good. too. Why. when 1 was a
boy we made a whole meal off a cou
ple of thick slices of bread spread
with molasses, and no butter, either
1 could eat a piece now if 1 had It"
"If you would buy things In the city
and bring them home you could prob
ably save money." suggested ma
"Perhaps I could, 6ut unfortunate
ly, my time Is pretty well taken up
earning what is respectfully called a
salary. The best thing we car do is
to move out where we can raise bens
and vegetables. We can't keep on
living here if prices keep going up"
"Why don't you ask for a raise?"
suggested ma. hopefully.
"Lots of good it w ould do. Just now
the company is retrenching and is
more likely to cut salaries than to in
crease them."
"The Idea." said ma. Indignantly.
"The troubie with you is you're afraid
to ask. I bet I'd talk up to them.
I'd just tell them I couldn't keep a
family of 6ix on such a small salary,
and that I had to have more money."
; "They should worry." replied pa,
grimly. "I don't know where they are
responsible for my having a wife and
four children. Of course, If I don't
want to stay. 1 can quit"
"They would never let you ' quit
They couldn't get along without you.
Don't you do all the work, while Mr.
Smith draws the big salary? He haa
a motor car and they go everywhere."
said ma, waxing Indignant
"You compliment me, I'm sure," re
plied pa. "but you're not just wise to
the situation. It would be very grati
fying to think that I was so Important
but unfortunately I am very well
aware that there are several men per
fectly willing to step In if I step out
No man is so Important that the
world couldn't get along without him.
If I should quit It would cause some
temporary inconvenience, but the sun,
moon and stars would continue their
daily routine, and the company would
still do business at the old stand.
"I think they're Just horrid, any
wav. and I'd like to tell them so."
"Please don't It might cause the
whole board of directors to lose sleep
and they are strongly averse to los
ing anything."
"There's the order man," said ma.
"Maggle, don't forget to order five
pounds of the best butter."
