The Due d'Orleans was not more glad

governor, was to see him set at liberty.

congress; and in this publication the

congress: and in this publication the
record stands thus:
July 10, 1776-R Resolved, That the declar-
alton passed on the 18th be fairly engrossed
on parchment, with the title and style OF
1.-The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen
United States of America land that the same
when engrossed, be signed by every member
of congress.
Aug. 2, 1776-The Declaration of indie
pendence being engrossed ana compared at
the table was signed by the members.
In closing his argument and his book,
Mr.. Buchanan says:
The copies of the Declaration sent to the
states, the published journals of congress,
and the engrossed declaration itself, all point
to the Fourth of July as the date of the gen
eral signing Mr.. Mexican alone held the
correct opinion, and he was contradicteG by
Jefferson and Adams. This opinion generally
obtained for forty-five years. until the Secret
Journals were published in 1921 So strong
a hold has ittaken upon the public mind,
that like many popular fallacies it has gained
the impress of truth. 1t is still held by the
vast majority of people, and doubtless will
also be to the end of time. When the Secret
Journals were published, and it was found
that the general signing did not take place on
the Fourth of July, this popular idea of sign
ing, still holding possession of the minds of
the investigators, warped their Judgment;
and imbued with the idea that somebody
signed on the Fourth. if not the ffty-Six,
they naturally turned to the first printed
copies of the Declaration, and from them in
ferred that john Hancock and Charles Thorn
son were those who signed on that day.

ANOTHER ,PocAHoNTAs.
She Was Not the Only One Who
Saved Smiths Life.

Lewiston journal.
1t IS generally known that in 1914,
Capt. John Smith, of Pocahontas fame
made a trip to what is now known as
Gardiner Me-, but there was an Incl
dent that occurred during that visit that
is known by very few people. The
Cabassas were presided over by chief
having headquarters at what is now
Gardiner, known as Cabassa, who had
daughter named Schools, famed
among her tribe for her beauty and
grace. She was unfortunately smittenat
once with the gallant captain, who was,
by the way, the first white man to visit
these parts. and who was received with
great cordiality. Smith had with him a
lieutenant named Hunt, who was of a
rather quarrelsome disposition, and
prone to mutiny. When the time came
for the party of whites to depart, Hunts
mutinOus spirit showed itself, and with
small party of followers he left Smith.
going in the opposite direction. His
party took with them as captiyes sew
eral of the tribe OF Cabassas.
The chief, considering the whites one
party,b by great mistake followed Capt.
Smiths loyal band, which camped that
night about four miles from the present
location of Gardiner. in an easterly di-
rection. Schools, thinking to warn the
captain. hurried on before the party of
enraged Indians, but arrived too late,
for as she arrived at the camp the first
vOlley OF arrows was delivered.
Thinking to save Smith, she fled to
him. threw her arms about his neck,
and in that position received an arrow
in the breast that caused instant death.
The chief was palsied at the accident,
and ordered hostilities to be ceased.
This allowed Smith an opportunity to
explain that it was the other party that
had perpetrated the kidnapping.
After sorrowful return and the
burial of SCHOOLS near the Randolph
church, the party of red men went in
search of Hunt. He was overtaken
near Norridgewock, and his band ex-
terminated to man. Capt. Smith had
the martyred Schools to thank for his
life, for the arrow that reached her
heart was meant for him. The grave
of Schools is unmarked; in fact, its
exact location is unknown.

MILLIONAIRE SPLITLOG.
Some of the Curious Personal
Traits of the Wealthiest Indian.

Denver News.
l have just returned from a trip
through Arkansas and Indian Territory,
and in the course of my travels 1 met
what l never expected to see in this
world, millionaire Indian. / had
heard of this unique parsonage, but was
not prepared to meet such strange
combination of opulence and ignorance.
He is known as Matthias Splitlog, the
chief of the WyandOtte tribe, and is
powerfully built man, five feet eight
inches tall, with swarthy countenance,
but not the high cheek bones usu-
ally found in the Indian. This
is accounted for from the fact
that Splitlog is a half-breed, having
been born in Canada and afterwards
adopted into the Wyandotte tribe in
1913, before its removal from Northern
Ohio to the West. Splitiog is now sew
enty years old and cannot read or write.
He speaks English imperfectly, but is
great money-getter and is constantly
growing richer by the advance upon the
thousands of acres of lands which he
owns i'm Southwestern Missouri and the
Indian territory.
A story will give an idea of the old
chiefs manner of transacting business.
About two years ago syndicate of Kan
sas City capitalists persuaded him to
part with 140 acres of land on the Kaw
bottoms between the two Kansas Citys,

WILL NOT RESUME BUSINESS
Damaging Developments in Rela-
ton to Bursted Bank.

CHICAGO. July 4.-Interesting and
damaging developments are expected in
relation to the Park National bank and
it's management by President Packer.
1t is announced unofficially that the
bank will not resume business, but that
the board of directors will request the
appointment of receiver. The I'M
willingness of directors to place more
money in the concern is said to be the
cause of this step. The clerks of the
bank, sixteen in all. were discharged
yesterday. The $1,000 check drawn by
President Packer, which caused his ar
rest, is held by J. E. kmball, of the
firm of Kinney Il Kimball. 1t is ru-
mored that this is not the only irregular
transaction in which officials of the
bank have been interested, and there is
a possibility of further sensational dis
closures. 1t is stated that depositors
will be paid in full.
