Long Views.

Persons who wish to put off the evil
day of spectacles should accustom
themselves to long views. The eye is
always relieved, and sees better, If,
after reading a while, we direct the
sight to some far distant object, even
for a minute. Great travellers and
hunters are seldom near sighted. Sail
ors discern objects at great distance
with considerable distinctness when a
common eye sees nothing at all. One
is reported to have such acute sight
that he could tell when he was going to
see an object. On one occasion when
the ship was in sinking condition,
and all were exceedingly anxious for Il
sight of land, he reported, from the
lookout that he could not exactly see
the shore, but could pretty nearly do

The Queens RebulSe.

Some years ago, when the present
Queen of England was Princess of
Wales and her children were very
small, they were staying at a quiet
watering-place. The Montreal Star re-
peats this little story Of the royal fam
lily, which shows that Queen Alexandra
is much like all other good mothers,
and that her children are like children
the world over:
Once on returning from shcrt sail
one of the little prlncesses was walking
up the plank. An old sailor instructive
ly said:
Take care, little lady"
The child drew herself up haughtily
and said:
I'm not lady, I'm a princessW
The Princess of Wales, who over
heard the kindly injunction and the
rather ill-bred reply, said quickly:
Tell the good sailor you are not a lit
tie lady yet, but you hope to be some
day"

CLAlBoRNH WEBB. and probably the
only survivor, is Claiborne Webb, who
lives near Blue Springs, Mo.
Mr.. Webb is now in his eighty-sev-
enth year. He was but % years Of
age when he and fifty other young men
of Jackson County, Missouri, enlisted
in the Volunteer company of Captain
James Childs of Independence. He
was in service but six months, receiv-
ing injuries in the last and most de-
cisive battle near Lake Okeechobee, in
Southern Florida.
OF all Indian wars that in Southern
Florida is described by the aged veter-
an as being fraught with as hard, If
not with greater, difficulties than any
other. Disease, swamps, venomous in
sects and dangerous reptiles were COM
batted as well as red men. Long
marches were undergone and often
whole companies were for days with
out their rations.
The Seminole war was caused by an
endeavor upon the part of the United
States government to drive all Indians
The Creek tribe as whole were forced
to terms of submission by General An
drew Jackson in 1914 and were COM
PEELED to yield their lands. But the
Seminoles, who were members of this
tribe, escaped into Florida. There,
under the leadership of Osceola, who
had become a trained soldier in the
government ranks, and Sam Jones, an
Americanized Indian, they committed
many depredations upon the popula-
ton, destroying both lives and property
and devastating whole sections of the
country. Several campaigns against
Osceola and Jones, all of which proved
futile, were made by Generals Clinch,
Call and Jessup. A detachment of l12
| men under the command of Major
Dade was surrounded Dec. %, 1886.
and all but three privates were killed.
| This wholesale slaughter aroused the
| United States government to renewed
efforts to put an end to Indian warfare
in the South.
During the summer of 1887 COM
mand of 500 men was given to Colonel
Taylor and he was sent against the
Indians. Many doubted the wisdom of
the campaign. undertaken as it was
with mere handful of men, outnum-
bered by Sam Jones braves three to
one. But it was successful. The Semi
noles were put to rOut at a battle in
one Of the marshes of the Kissimmee
River near Lake Okeechobee. A treaty
was made during the ensuing winter
which provided for the removal of the
Indians to tract of land west of the
Mississippi River.
In spite of years and an active life,
Mr.. Webb is still an energetic old man,
one to whom time has been kind He
has living eight children. twenty-SiX
grandchildren, and eighty great-grand-
children. He has outlived three long
lived wives, the last of whom died
last summer.
