BOUGHT FREEDOM WITH DEATH.
Eez Perce Horses Followed Their Leader
Over the Cliff.

Nez Perce Horses Followed Their Leader
Over the Cliff.
The hardy little Nez Perce horse is
quite well known in way, but few
people know what remarkable courage
and sagacity he has. When the Indian
war swept the Nez Pcrce country, the
Indians gathered about 5000 horses
into valley that fronted ON the steep
bluffs of the Columbia river, and there,
with the great white mountains at their
back, prepared to make their last des-
perate stand
In the battle that followed they were
defeated, and tho small fraction of them
that remained unkilled put to flight.
The horses, shut in by the steep noun
tains on the one side and the steep river
bluff on the other, had to be left behind.
When the battle had closed, the SOL
diers of the volunteers tfor only part
were regulars) made a rush for the
horses, but they could not lay hands on
one Of them or approach them.
And now for the first time it was no.
ticed that they were under boy herder.
The boy was unarmed, entirely naked
and as red as copper.
The boy had no bride, but wove his
hands into the name, and thus guided
his black horse at will at the head OF
the herd.
The volunteers dropped ON their knees
here and there around the edge of the
circle and began TO fire at the boy. At
last bullet struck him. His body few
high into the air and then fell and rolled
in the dust.
The horses now divided as they came
by. Their nostrils were distended at tho
smell of blood, and their eyes ablaze aS
the sight of their young keeper i'm tho
dust.
On the second round, after the boy
fell, the black leader seemed to run
sidewise, his eyes fastened to his little
dead master until they looked frightful
from under the black name.
He plunged OH around and came to
the very edge of the beetling basalt
bluff. Then there was a sight as of O
sculptured image Of horse poised in
midair, and u mad. wild cry, such as a
horse makes but once--a cry indescrib-
able-that filled the valley
Men looked away, and when they
looked back the black statue was gone.
Then, faithful to the leader, over the
bluff Tito tie foanling white water went
another horse
And then 10, so, 900, the whole
5000! Not one of all the herd was left
to the invading victors, and the stream
was literally choked with the dead

Ouaint Old Time Will.

r. W. Amsden, a Brockton police
officer, has in his possession printed
copy of the will of Joseph Porter, made
in East Stoughton (now Avon) ON Feb.
l6, 1902 MIR. Porter was born in 1880
and died in 1908. The most interesting
part of the will is that relating to what
he left his wife, Elizabeth, as follows:
"The easterly end or half of my new
dwelling house, and so much of the Gel
lar as is necessary for her use;> also one
half OF the buttery in the other part of
the house, and the privilege of the oven,
well. dooryard, etc., during her natural
life; also the improvement of one good
cow, which is to be kept ON my farm
for her use during her natural life; also
one good yearling hog, well fatted, year.

three bushels of rye, o sufficiency of
wood to keep one fire. cut up fit for the

property. ''my horse for the purpose of

1t is said that Coils p. Huntington's
desire to sell the $4,000, 900 palace
which he has just completed in New
York is his belief in the old supersti-
tion that old men who grow rich build
fine houses for their funerals. He ex-
pected to move In three years ago, but
it was only last year that the house be-
gan to get near completion. In the
meantime his health had become less
and less vigorous His age and his years
of hard work and worry began to tell
upon him. The superstition came back
with renewed force, and he began to
think great deal about it. At last he
became absolutely convinced that should
he move in the first function to which
his friends would come would be his fu-
neral. Then he decided that he would
not even keep the house i'm the family.

THE FIVE NATIONS ARE PROSPEROUS
AND PROGRESSIVE.

The Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws,
Creeks and Seminolcs OF the Indian Ter

Judge Holman thinks the Indian
question is settled at last All the tribes
are located where they want to be. All
are at peace and their young men are
inclined to remain so, and civilization
is extending among them al. Of all the
Indians in United States territtry two
fifths are quite civilized, as many moro
outright barbarians. 1t is as yet impos-
sible to tell from the eleventh census
the exact number Of Indians in the
United States, but it is certainly less than
300, 900, and even when all the ''in.
truders, negroes and other nominals,
are included, the number scarcely ex.
ceeds that.

to white men who have in various ways

cording to Superintendent Porter 3
agents, there were 100, 3O3 of them in
1890 and only so, O55 real Indians. But
it is extremely difficult to get full

of every move made by agents of the
government and evade all questions.

Seminole, and of these it is the fashion
to say that the Greeks are most indus
trious, but the Cherokees are "the aris
tocracy of all Indians. -
The industry and progress of the
Creek Nation are largely due to its negro
subjects, who now virtually control 1t.
In fact, the principal chief, as the ex-
ecutive of the nation is called, is habit
ually spoken Of as negro, being darh
miscegene. His name is Lequist Cho
teau PerTyman, and he not only comes
ON the Creek side from family famous
in the nations annals, but has had a
personal career Of great variety. He
was born March /, 1888; was educated
at the Tallahassee mission principal
academy Of the Creeks; enlisted in the
Union army in Kansas In 1869, and in
1866 was mustered out as sergeant ma
jor Of the First regiment, Indian Home
guards He has since been district Judge
and member Of the national council and
was inaugurated as principal chief Dec.

The figures on the cost Of civilizing
these five tribes are startling. The Unit
ed States has paid some $a5, 600, 600 on
their account and is still paying over
$40O, 900 per year. Yet it is simple
business transaction, and the Indians
realize much less on their property than
other landlords. At the start the gov
ernment inaugurated a system of not
paying the Indians cash for their lands,
but giving notes--that is, the money was
put in trust funds, and the Indians get
the interest, and now the principal and
