| OF the Cherokees There was a time
when this order was dreaded by all
the tribes Of the American continent.
The Cherolsees were at one time all
members Of the Keetoowah society
and were sworn enemies Of all other
tribes I'm those days there were no

as they expected TO be attacked by
their friends or enemies, as the case
might be. A portion OF the Creek
warriors kept In the background and
did not show themselves i'm the day
time.
They would lie around the camp
during the day and would go on guard
at night while the regular hunters
took their rest. One morning a band
OF KeetoOwahs made a raid on the
Creek hunting camp, but the Greeks
were ready for them. The arrows fell
like hail into the camp. The Creeks
were apparently greatly scared and
made a dash for liberty. but ii was
make believe as they had reserved
their arrows and hid them near their
camp. When the KeetOowah warriors
rushed into the camp the Greeks
showered their arrows directly into
their midst and each Keetoowah war
rior got n deadly arrow, save one, who
was wounded slightly and captured.
All the others, some eighteen or
twenty, were rlddled with Creek ar
rows.
The live Keetoowah warrior was
kept closely watched for a couple Of
days and then taken TO his dead com
rades and shown what n Creek could
do with n Keetoowah when he made
up his mind to do 80. This live Kee-

Creeks would treat them all the same

of his tribe they would spare his life
and would call him their elder brother.
He promised to do that. and true to
his promise he went back TO his own
camp and cautioned the young Kee-
toowahs to be careful about Creek
camp and since that time the Creeks
and Cherokecs, or Keetoowahs. have
been friends. The Cherokee or Kec-
toowah Is or has been termed the
elder brother OF the Muskogee or Creek
ever since that raid on the Greek
hunters camp. The Cherokces were
known by all other tribes as Kectoo-

KEEP OUT THE DIRT:
NEW MECHANICAL DEVICE TO
AVOID THE CoNTAMINA-
TION OF MILK.

Doctors, scientists and agricultural
experts are all very much concerned at
the present time about the contamina-
ton of milk and the serious conse-
quences that are apt to result from It.
In the up to date dairy every effort is
made to keep the milk from being con-
Eliminated by stable dirt or foreign
matter, which may adhere to the cows
teats or TANKS, or which may be float
ing around In the air In the stable.
Among the precautions suggested are
mechanical mixers, but these have not
come into extensive use, although in
one form or another there are isolated
examples Of their use in dairies In diff
ferent parts of the world. The Illus
tration here presented is a suggestion

where do the old oyercoats go?" Is q

reer on the back of Its owner, who paid
$45 for 1t. 1t keeps him warm and
shelters him from cold winds and from
storms until 1t commences to get fray
ed at the edges and the pockets are
torn down the sides. Then the owner
uses the coat for rainy days only, and
no more does he take II to call on his
fiancee or to recllne on the back of a
chair while he Is reading at the club.
He keeps 1t another summer, and the
moths get into 1t, and when he takes 1t
out In the fall 1t has holes here and
there. So the owner gives 1t to the
janitor, II the janitor Is not a cold,
naughty man, and the janitor wears II
awhile until his wife gives 1t to the
tramp who wheeled out the three bar
rels Of ashes. The tramp wears 1t until
the old coat commences to fall apart.
Then he gives 1t to another tramp, and
it falls apart still more. And then
some day the coat has entirely disap-
