SIMON GERTY'S HATE.s

SIMON GERTY'S HATES
by WIN. W. LONG.
Go tell the hunter by his camp,
The pioneer by his hearth,
How Simon Gerty keeps his VOW,
And stains with blood the earth.
Go tell the lovers at their trist,
The much loved, aged sire,
ohio's woods, Kentucky's plains,
Shall yet be swept with fire.
The mother singing to the babe,
The prattling, fair-haired child,
I've scalped upon their cabin floor,
And on my work have smiled.
When night winds whisper thro' the
trees, taas
I've led my Indians out,
And fire and smoke, and blood and
death,
Have lined my fearful rout.
I've tied the Captain to the stake,
And laughed to hear him moan,
And sweetest music to my ear,
Was every dying groan.
The voice of sorrow in the woods,
The hunters cabin desolate
Shall tell the world in after years,
How Simon Gerty fed his hate.
Bdaks Of the Ohio, 1878.
,fS1mon Gerty made a VOW when he fled to the
shawnee Indians, that he would never spare one
OF MS own race, and the.only instance on record
of his breaking it. was in saving his old-time
friend, Simon KentOn, from the stake, and
him to Detroit, where he was afterwards
exchanged. 1t is supposed that Gerty fell in
me battle of the Thames, where the power of
me Indians were crushed, as he was never
heard of after that battle - - :. :

Prices in 1925.
|. S. WELLER, Secretary.

Reading recently the biography of
Salmon z. Chase, by ScEuckers, we
came upon statement of current
prices in Ohio in 1925. The uncle of
Secretary Chase was an Episcopalian
bishop of the diocese of Ohio, and
Salmon P. Chase visited lin as a
youth to flush his education. Wheat
that year brought t. enty-fve cents a
bushel, and corn fifteen cents, while it
cost twenty-five cents to pay the post
age on a letter it carried over one
hundred and sixty miles. The income
OF Bishop Chase, as bishop, did not
quite pay his offelal postage. 1t is
well enough when anyone grumbles
about "hard times to look back to
these good old times" and see what
they were. The humblest citizen has
more comforts about him to day than
the rich had fifty. years ago, before the
age OF railroads. Denison Review.

One of the best ways of reducing
the need of troops in Texas is to thin
out the white thieves who masque-
rade in red mems rig. Not lcng ago
a stage was fred into uear the Pecos,
and the cry was raised Of another In
dian raid. A cool observer noticed
that all five Of the hiehwaymen were
in fresh paint, fresh feathers, and new
outfits all through, like the newest
sort of wooden Indian put out in
front Of new cigar store. These
fellows were white savages, not red
ones. If a few more mock Mexicans
and mock Indians, like the gangs Of
Bass and Dibrell, are cleared out from
Texas, the army there will find the
frontier . good deal more tranquil

The remark OF Mr.. THOMAS LORD Jr,
that, If his father is adjudged incompetent
the person intrustcd with his estate may bc
authorized by an order of Court to make an
allowance to each Of the sons, suggests an
interesting question Of law. According to
this gentlcman's own statement his father
has six children, the youngest Of whom is
over thirty years Of age. Only one of them,
it appears, is insane; and she has means Of
her own. A father is bound by law 10 sup

port themselves, and are old, lame, impo-
tent or decrepit, 50 as To be unable to work

There can be no such law If there were
such statute it would be unconstitutional

Cutting Down Salaries Insurance Leg
i>latiOn.

long and somewhat complicated bill for
the regulation of Life Insurance Companies
has been introduced into the Assembly. The
following section Of the bill, however, is very
clear:

company organized IN tins stte shall receive any com

said insurance company reward Tor any services

1t may be well to multiply laws about in
surance companies if they could be enforced.
At the same time we have not much conf
dcnce in the practicablity of managing so
many # the details Of any branch of bust
ness by legislation as the act under discus

Any man who could not do better might
accept an Office in an insurance company for
ten thousand dollars year. But the act
contains other provisions to which per-
son with sufficient sclf-respect to be fit for
an officer Of an insurance company would

one OF his clerks, for instance-to have UNI
