"CHESAHATKA.'
Grandfather of Chesahawka Elk
ecuted Document Prior to De
parture Of Band From Native
Reservation in st. Louis
Praises the Worlds Fair.

One CT the picturesque figures at the
Worlds Fair this week Is ~Chesahawka-
second chief OF the Usage tribe Of In
dams from Oklahoma.
~Chesahawka is the most interesting per-
sonaIity at the Worlds Fair Indian camp
this ummer. His family is the most re-
nowned OF any in indian history. Chesa-
hawka is the grandson OF C~Eesahawka I.
the most brilliant chief the Osages ever
had.
It was he who negotiated the last
treaty OF peace between the United States
and his tribe. prior TO the departure OF
the Osages from their native reservation
in st. Louis a little less than a century
ago.
This peace treaty. now in the possession
OF the younger Chesahawka, represents
one OF the most interesting documents OF
its kind, and one Of the most valuable
from a historical standpoint, in existence
to-day.
1t represents a treaty OF peace and
avowal OF everlasting friendship between
the United States and the Usage Nation.
1t is written on sheepskin parchment Of
the date OF July is. 1904. and the seal OF
the War Department.
C~hesahawka inherited this valuable IN
from his father at MS death. and
the older OF his two sons will come into
possession OF it upol C~hesaEawka's de-
mise.
The parchment is decorated with a fine
gold chain, which has been inserted over
the top of the word. Greeting" Reference
is made TO the chain in the wording Of the
document. comparing its purity Of gold,
which viii never rust TO the friendship
OF the United States Government for the
Usage Nation.
Chesahawka prizes this valuable docu-
E1ent as he prizes his very life's blood.
to the few persons to whom ne has been
persuaded TO allow them TO examine ii. he
has kept a constant eye over II until the
momen it Is returned safely to his hands.
PRIZES AN HEIRLOOM.
Another heirloom which C~heahawka
prizes highly IS a large silver medal, which
he wears attached TO a blu silk ribbon
about his neck. The medal bears test
that IL vas given TO his father. the
former chief Of the Osages. by Zachary
Taylor in 1888. on his visit to washington.
.ChesahaWka carries these honors with
the dignity OF his strong personality, and
as the future chief Of the Usage Nation.

Poplar Trees as Lightning Rods.

In Holland the Lombardy poplar is
often used as lightning rod, and is
planted near hayStackS and isolated
farm houses This poplar has the habit
Of growing nearly vertical, with the
branches in an upright position as soon
as the rain falls the water runs along
the branches and forms along the stem
constant stream Of water from the
top to the ground. When lightning
strikes ia the vicinity the tree being
the highest object has the best chance
of being hit, and when the lightning
strikes the tree it finds in the stream
of water which flows down the stem
a safe conductor towards the ground.
OF course the stream goes seldom in a
straight line, and at places where the
limbs join together the flow of water
takes often another direction. The limb
may be doomed, but the haystack is
saved
