A Reminiscence of the French Massacre
by the Natchez Indiana.

Reminiscence OF the French Massacre
by the Natchcz Indians.
The Pocahontas of the early days OF
the colony of Louisiana, at least so far
as devotion to the French was con-
cerned, was "Bras-Pique" (Tattooed-
ARM, the mother of the Great Sun or
chief ruler of the Natchez nation at
the time of the massacre of the French
by the Natchez on the eth of Novem-
Der. 1929. She suspected the great con-
spiracy that was on foot among the
Natchez to destroy the French, and,
being a faithful friend of the latter,
induced by repeated solicitations her
son, who was only II years old, to con-
fess to her that he had sent messengers
TO all the Indian nations throughout
Louisiana, each message bearing n bun
die of sticks, and each bundle containing
exactly as many sticks as the others.
The instructions given to the other In
dian nations were to begin burning a
stick on certain day, and when the
last stick should be consumed to fall
on the French in their vicinity and Stay
them.
Bras-Pique had the details Of the plot
communicated TO Chepart, the com
mandant of the post, but finding that
he treated the warnings with contempt.
with the view of saving the majority OF
the French in Louisiana by dislocating
the plan of the conspiracy, she entered
the temple of Natchez, where the "sa-
cred fire" was perpetually maintained,
and threw several sticks from the bun
die which had been deposited in the
temple on the fire, and thus disarranged
the Natchez part of the conspiracy.
When the last stick OF the Natchez was
burned the massacre OF nearly all the
French in the Natchez country followed,
but as the tragic event had been precipi-
tated by the stratagcm of the devoted
Bras-Pique, Perrier. who at that time
was governor of the colony. was enabled
TO take measures TO save the French
elsewhere in the colony.--N. o. Picay-
une.

HALLowEp HOURS.

There are hearts our hearts remember
When we knelt In peace alone.
And the blessing OF the Lord our God
Came 10 us from the throne.
Oh. sweet II was TO feel Il.
The peace our Lord bestows,
AS the dew upon the waiting fields.
The fragrance In the rose.
There are hours when life was bitter
With the anguish OF defeat.
When strange II seemed that anything
Had ever tasted sweet.
And we scarce knew how TO bear a..
But one came DER the wave.
And the peace He gave US with a word
Then made US strong and brave.
There are hours when work is pressing.
Just little homely work.
That must be done, that we must do,
That Il were shame 10 shirk.
And In those hours fun often
To crown the petty cares.
Has fallen upon the house CLEAN
or Gods Heaven unawares.
So, for our hallowed hours
We find them. where our Lord
Has called us into service meet
For blessing and reward;
They are sometimes In the closet,
They are often I'm the mart.
And the Lord can make them anywhere
His desert place apart"

Amusement ONLY for workers.

Amusement can be az it's best only
for those who work. Whether the word
means To turn aside and muse, or tn
give ourselves for n little to the muses.,
IL implies that something else Is our
business. No man has a right go nmuse-
ment or knows the real JOY of IL who
has not earned the right by work. The
sleep Of the laboring man is sweet, and
30 is his bread. The boy who does not
go 10 school does not know what Sat
urday Is. II n man would know what
amusement can mean. let him earn It
and know its creations. S. Times.

The attorney seemed to be enjoying
the discontinue OF the manager. The
incident threw a sidelight on Fench's
character that was instructive; IL ex-
posed the shoddy warp that was usually
hidden under the wool of impudence.
Sharpless knew then that il there were
any flghting to be done he would have
TO do IL himself, and there was a con-
temptuous emphasis in his reply:
That's as you like. He'll fight for

1T will make just this difference-if
we had that deed with Gates signature
we mightsta some chance of pleading
as innocent purchasers. and Gates would
make n first-class scapegoat. AS il Is,
there are some people who might be
mean enough 90 hint that we made our
title out of whole cloth. However,
that's all beside the mark. This old
fellow must be at least 65 or 20; he's
an outlaw, and he's only one ignorant
man against the whole syndicate. II

"What are you going TO do about it?"
"Run him out OF the country again,

hint that Uncle Sans men would like

"Who knows him?"
PLENTY of people among the natives,
but think he can be reached quickest
through the old Scotchman up on the
Little Chiwaseee-what's his name 7?

Sharpless rose to go back 10 his own
room, and Fench called 10 him as he
reached the door:
Say, Sharpless, you know / never
would have touched this damned thing
with ten-foot pole if you hadn't made
me believe the man was dead. Now
you've got TO stand by me; are you sure
you burned that-that deed we made I?
sure you didn't make a mistake and
burn the wrong one?"
The lawyer glanced back at his abject
fellow conspirator with n frown of inn
patience. "Fench, you make me tired.
Do you suppose I'd be fool enough to
take any chances?"
BY what means the attorney carried
out his threat OF intimidation no one
but those most nearly concerned knew.

THE SACRED AND SECULAR.
In All Our work God May lie Served
and Glorincd.

ana GIOriued.
Distinctions between the sacred and
the secular are not emphasized as much
as formerly. Indeed, there is n ten
dency TO do away with them wholly.
From one point of view this IS danger
Gus and wrong. To treat the Lords
day like any other day Is as impolitic
and mischievous as IL is sinful. 1t is
given chiefly for rest, worship and
Christian service. But from another
point of view il is equally wrong not to
do away with these distinctions. For
instance, 10 suppose that because farm
ing, engineering or serving at a shop
counter or an Office desk are not occu-
pations nominally and directly aimed
at saving souls, as the ministry is, they
therefore are not sacred but secular is
mistake. They are, and ought to be
understood to be, sacred in the truest
sense.
All work, unless it be positively evil
in its nature or purpose, Is divinely
meant to be regarded as sacred. 1t il
sacred in that IL is a means through
which God may be served and glorifed.
Our work is Gods appointed way of
Christian usefulness for us. Whether
one runs n sewing machine, n ship, a
bank, n college or a commonwealth, the
same holds true. Gods gift OF oppor-
tunity for work renders the work truly
sacred. The doing OF the work faith
fully for His sake also renders II
sacred. IL is well that this has come to
be realized so generally, even though
the realization lead for time TO ex-
travagances of theory and mistakes in
conduct. To identify Christ with our
lives in all their details, to do our work
as in His sight and for His sake, this is
TO look at the sacred and the secular
as He looks at neutrality-suspicious.

A MODERN MIRACLE.

Mr.. Jenkins Fench sat in his private
Office in the new building of the ALA
coochee Land, Manufacturing and Inn
provement company, giving audience to
prospective investors as they were adj
mitted one at time by the clerk in
the outer room. IL, in the beginning.
the manager had played a somewhat
leisurely second TO Lawyer Sharpless'
lead. all traces OF inertness vanished
with the breaking OF ground for the
new city, and Mr.. Fench became for
the time an incarnation OF enthusiasm
and restless activity. Allacoochec and
its advantages circumscribed the rim
of his horizon; the rest of the world was
a mere tail 10 the comet Of which this
latest luminary in the urban galaxy
was the head.
And evidence was not wanting that
no inconsiderable portion OF the world
OF investment stood ready 10 take ALA
coochee at Mr.. Fench's appraisal From
morning till night the outer Office was
crowded with buyers; and the rocket
like flight of prices seemed only TO add
20 the eager anxiety OF those who watt
ed their turns to get speech with the
busy manager IL Is true that Mr..
Fench left nothing undone to fan the
flame OF enthusiasm, and IL Is equally
certain that some OF his methods were
rather more enterprising than honor
able; but no one stopped 20 analyze
the reaping process while the golden
harvest was so plentiful, and Mr..

BUSINESS AND SENTIMENT.
Humane Treatment often Turns Out
To lie the Best Policy.


Sometimes you hear business man
characterizing policy of forbearance
and sympathy with others as pure SEN
timent. Doubtless il is, and the cold,
hard, undertaking course of business,
theoretically, should not be swayed
by any humane considerations; and yet
II has often come about that the senti-
mental course" has proved the sound
est policy, for men are something more
than machines, and 10 treat them mere
ly as you would treat an engine is not
calculated 10 elicit their best capaci-
ties. and you yourself may ultimate
ly find advantage in drawing out toward
yourself, whether the man with whom
you deal is your employee or your debtor.
the kindly feeling for which the strict
business relationship makes no pro-
vision. More than one man has found
in his time OF need that his best friend
was fellow man upon whom he had
not been too hard when he was down.
The cynical observation that "grati-
tude is lively expectation OF favors 10
come" is constantly proved false in bust
ness experience. Many men are not UNI
grateful. The bread sown on the waters
returns after not many days. Acting
too rigidly upon the maxim business
Is business" and what IL implies Is often
the worst business policy.-Boston

Go on In all simplicity; do not be so
anxious ~ win quiet mind, and IL will
be all the quieter. Do not examine SO
closely into the progress OF your own
soul. DO not crave SO much TO be per-
feet, but let your spiritual life be formed
by your duties and by theactions which
are called forth by circumstances. Do
not take overmuch thought for to-
morrow. God. who has led you safely
ON so far, will lead you TO the end
