Mr.. Elicott at that time was agent Of
the Holland Land company. which own

known as the Eighth Judicial district
Of New YOrk
The two men shook hands and sat
down Oh a convenient log both being
near the middle Of IT, After a shors
tme spent il amicable conversation,
Red Jacket sand pleasantly, Move
along, Joe.
Mr.. Ellicott did as he had been re-
quested, ana the chief moved up close 10
him. In few minutes came a second
request, "Move along, Joe
Again Mr.. Elicott complied, though
with considerable surprise, and again the
chief followed him closely. Scarcely had
this been done when Red Jacket agan
said, "Move along, joe. "
Mr.. Ellicott was greatly annoyed, but
willing TO humor the chief he moved
along once more, this time reaching
the end of the log.
THIS was not sufficient 70 satisfy the
chief, however for "a moment later came
the fourth request, "Move along, Joe. 3"
"Why. man, cried the agent irrlta-

Then came the end, when his ministers

The Swiss PIKE.

Swiss invention and employed 10y the
confederates from the inst. The point
however, Is one that must remain un.
certaia, for the earliest mention of the
long pike is found in an order addressed
in 1921 by Count Phiipof savoy to the
burgherN Of Turin, and no one can tell
whether the Savoyards borrowed it from
the Swiss or the Swiss from the Savoy.
