As the pumps go on throwing out

Many anecdotes Of this celebrated
Choctaw are current among the nation
today, whose people never tire OF talking
about him.
Once, when In company with a party
OF young officers in camp. they began to
boast of their ancestry; one was related
TO Lord So-and-so, another TO Count
Somebody, and still another descendant
Of the Earl of Something. At last one Of

armed warrior!' But the old chief only
meant this satirically, and as rebuke to
the young gentlemen's boasting.
Once, when strolling around the camp,
he came across private soldier tied up
by the wrists to tree near the guard
tent. He asked why the man was being
punished in that manner; "for getting
drunk" some one told him. He then
took out his knife and cut the poor fel-
low down, remarking as he turned away;
Shouldn't tie a warrior up like that
just for getting drunk; all warriors get
drunk; sometimes Push-ma ta-ha gets
drunk"
Another time one of his wives came
into camp--at that period the Choctaws
practiced polygamy--and private sol.
dier said something disrespectful to her,
whereupon Push-ma-ta-ha drew his
sword and struck him over the head
with the fat side. The general, hearing
about it, asked him what he had done it
for. Push-ma-ta-ha replied, because
he had insulted one of my wives: but If

the crowd finds itself gathered about the

at work, and the water is pumped out OF
the reservoirs in the caisson. This big
gate rests against the sill and abutments
of the dock, which are padded with rub

water from the outside forces the caissou

In 1865, while teaching in the public
schools of Detroit, she met and married
DR.. G. c. Lathrop, who was surgeon in
the Ninth Michigan cavalry. Until thi,

Although she has given her first and
best efforts to her pulpit work, she has
accomplished great deal in other lines.
When she was IA years old she began to
contribute to the press, and has written
more or less ever since. Much Of her
work has been widely copied, particu-

Mrs Lathrop was largely instrumental
In establishing state institution in

pealed strongly to her ardent and tender
nature, and in 1878 she began TO agitate
the subject Of making some especial
provision for them. She gave herself no

mists tell us, there could be no merchant
marine. no peace among nations. With
out dry docks there could be no navies,
and hence we must look down upon this

some place to draw the water away
from their ships. that the barnacles

The Chinese have had dry docks for
thousand or two years. and the naval
powers Of Europe have spent untold mill
ions in such appliances. But the United
States. am told, has taken a step which
will revolutionize the dry dock business,
just - II has In times past taken steps
which have led to revolutions In the
building Of war ships. 1t is altogether
appropriate that this now idea in the con-
stTuction Of dry docks should come at
this day, which Is the dawning of the
new navy. And it is worth while men,

big guns and feet ships to carry them"
Some such spirit as this must have per-
