young maidens, SO that no wigwam
might lose it For it was a tale, as each
heard it, to shame their youn e warriors,
and to make proud the hearts of the
young maidens. The Illini have passed
away forever Under mighty mounds
grass-covered and dhower-crowned, their
bones are laid, yet not forgotten.
They have given their names to the
streams, lakes and towns of the white
race that came after them; and through
these their traditions live, to this day,
in the memories of white men.
-Four hundred years ago when all this
new world was for the red man, q
bright stretch of that prairie land,
which now forms SO large a part of the
state of Illinois, once attracted the
fierce eyes of a roaming party of Iro-
quois. These had come from the east
There had been no need for them to
stray so far away from their villages
Their hunting grounds at home were
vast; their skies were filed with birds;
their rivers teemed with fish. But the
Iroquois, coveting the vaster hunting
grounds toward the setting sun, found
the lllini across their way. So they
hated them.
A peaceful band of Illini had built
their lodges on beautiful stream. On
its banks were ancient oaks and state
ly walnut trees, shaded by which they
could lie and dream in the hot hours Of
summers day. From the edge OF the
wood, and as far "a the eye could see
extended the grassy prairie, gay with
scarlet lilies, phloXes and morning
glories. Dear was this prairie to the
very heart of the Illini. The Great
Spirit had given it to their fathers for
them to enjoy its sweet breath, and to
their children after them. There, for
uncounted moons, had they passed
their days in careless, happy, lazy
fashion.
But one day long-remembered as
full of the sun and his glory, of the
sweetness of flowers, of the song of
birds, and IF the hum of bees-while
warriors, squaws and children were

soon as had thoroughly reguined con-

was wrong, and told me that had had
Il close call. Then they pointed to three
grewsome objects ranged side by side

ghastly features concealed by blank

Perhaps the poorest opinion of music
as a vocation is attributed to certain
excellent master builder in an eastern
city. This man had sent his son to col
lege, where the young mau eXcelled in
musical accomplishments. In course
of time he announced to his father his
intention to become a musician. The
father objected yehemently. The son
begged and ut last was affected to
tears, declaring that he should never
be happy in any other calling. This
melted the fathers heart, ard he ex-
claimed: "All right, do as you like

shadows tnat hid them from danger,
the fuEitives gathered, one by one, to
unbcud their bows, to dash them in
despair upon the ground, to curse the
lroquois, and to mourn this new shame
which had befallen them. Among
them all, there was but one-a girl
who refused to mourn with her people
WatselSa was her name
Although young, Watsella was well
known for her proud spirit and her
beautiful face As was fit in her sex,
this young girl had stood with the
crowd of weeping women and children
little apart from the gloomy war
riors. She read their hearts. saw their
tears and heard their means. The
cowardice of the men made her eyes
dry, kept her lips closed and reused all
the tiercencss of her wild nature.
Who would take revenge on these grim
painted, scalploving wurriurs-upon
those who had swept upon her people,
to kill them as they would deer, and to
drive them from the land the Great
Spirit had given them?
She frowned as she saw that the
warriors, with brave curses still upon
their lips were creeping farther and
farther back into the shadows.
Then Watscka burst into heroism.
Forgetting that among warriors no
talking squaw had right to a place, she
sprang forward and put herself in the
path before them. With flashing eyes
and curling lips she spoke:
Men of the Illini, right are the Iro-
quois when they boast that they have
put the dress of squaws upon you and
hoes into your hands. Turn back to
your village. You cannot miss the
path-your burning wigwams have
made it clear Your women and chill
dren are here-to-day. Do you know
where they will be when the sun
shines tomorrow? Have no fear, the
lroquois will know how to make your
wives cook their corn and your daugh-
tiers fetch them water. Tonight they
count the scalps and feed at your fires
on the deer they have killed on your
hunting grounds What You will
not so, then? Good Watsela will
show you how to be men Come with
me, women Of the Illini! We have not
gathered our corn to feed the Iro-
quois"
All the women turned to Watseka.
Grandmas saw in her bright eyes that
spirit which, when young, they them
selves might have had and loved her
for it, Each mother looked upon her
through fearful eyes, wishing that the
Great Spirit had spoken to her daugh-
ter instead. The hearts of the young
girls beat proudly because one of
themselves had been called to rouse
their tribe against the thieving Iro-
quois
No second call was needed Old and
young crowded eagerly around her
each woman arming herself with the
first hatchet or stick that fell her way.
And even the boys-who with black
looks and bent heads, had been follow
ing their fathers-left the braves, and
ranged themselves with flashing eyes
beside their mothers and their sisters.
Watsella's spirit vas over them all
But as it turned out, the women of
she Illini were not to fight that day.

rejoicing in their plenty and fancied
peace, yells that curlled the blood
echoed from the prairie on one side,
and the forest on the other. Too
we'll were those cries known in the viii
lnge of the Inini Too often had they
been the signal which prcsaged
massacre, torture and slavery. Too
often, when the echoes died away, had
their wigwams and their fields been
left in smoking ruins. What they
said was; 1--WE Iroquois are come!"
1t was band of this tribe which,
creeping from the neighboring prairie,
had swept upon them with such fierce
and sudden slaughter that the unpre-
pared Illini were driven for refuge
farther into the woods on the other
side of their village. There, in the

Watselln's bitter words brought back
the blood into the warriors veins,
Slowly from darkness they came into
the light like owls; but upon the Sleep
ing Iroquois they fell like wolves!
So they won back to their wigwams.
1t is good to know that the chief of
her tribe did not forget to honor Wat
sella. Her exploit was long told among
their traditions, and in the summer
frightened many weary hour in the
wigwams when the braves were on the
warpath. After Watseka had passed
away, so long as the Ilini were a pao-
pie her name was handed down in
every generation to the most beautiful
and the bravest girl of the tribe.
Nor has the race, which arose when
her own people were fallen forever,
wished her story to be forgotten. The
river by which the Iroquois were routed
is still known 10y their namc; and a
fair town rising in the land SO loved by
her proudly bears the namo of the
heroic girl who in the day Of despair
redeemed her tribe and turned their
shame into honor.-St Nicholas

The Attorney General Wants His Re-

The officials at the Department Of Justice
arc lcath to say anything about the trouble
which has resulted in the request by At
torney General Olney for the removal of
Jerome B. Burke. the warden of the United
States jail in this city. 1t is learned, how
ever. that the request for Mr. Burke's re-
moval is mainly caused by his positive re-
fusal to permit Mr.. Howard Perry, an off,
eial OF the Department of Justice, to make
interrogatories of the officers of the insti-
tuition in connection with the customary
inspection of the jail
The letter of the Attorney General and

CAPITOL TOPICS.
A New Antf-Option Bill

The new Hatch anti-option bill, devised by
Representative Hatch of Missouri, was ap-
proved by the committee on agriculture yes
terday and introduced in the House. This
Is measure designed to yield the govern
ment a revenue from the operations of bro
kers in agricultural products.
The taxes imposed are such that 1t is ex-
pected to yield large revenue. From the
license required Of every dealer 1t has been
estimated that the government would re-
ceive $15O.0OO at the beginning of its opera
ton. Representative Hatch intends to press
the bill for consideration soon as the
important bills now before the House are
disposed Of
1t was referred to the committee on ways
and means and 1t Is certain that the agri-
cultural element in the House will at an
early opportunity make a determined effort
to secure change of reference to the COM
mittee on agriculture, whereby a favorable
report on the bill Is almost assured. The
bin Is a very long document, embracing
eighteen sections, and has been drawn to
meet the principal objections that were
made to the original Hatch and Washburn
bills.
The Antwerp Exposition.
The House foreign affairs committee
agreed today to favorably report a resolu-
ton authorizing the appointment of five
commissioners to the Antwerp interna-
ticnal exposition.
