terrible chapter is the story of the suferings en-
dured by those refugees, They persisted pitifuIlv
in scores and the region now called the Pocous was
strewn with their famished bodies. For wears the
History has never done full Justice TO the SAG
rifces and sufferings of the people of WYOMING or
given their sad story its proper perspective They
were as much the victims of the Revolutionary war
as were those who died fighting by the side Of
Washington. The immortal Washington himself
evidently recognized this fact when he sent force
of four thousand men, year LATER under command
of General John Sullivan OF New Hampshire to
chastise the Six Nations in their stronghold. and
DESTROY their homes and fields as a fitting reprisa
for the devastation Of Wyoming.
It is sincerely hoped by the people of the Wyo-
ming valley that the visit of President Roosevelt to
this historic scene will result in an intelligent ef
fort to give the story of Wyoming its proper place
in American history. Even the best writer's have
slurred the subject So painstaking an author as
Washington Irving has treated it so indifferentIv
in his "Iife of Washington" as to say that Cen
eral Sullivans realiatory expedition went up the
"west branch" of the Susquehanna when if pur-
sued the Six Nations, and nowhere is there nroner
historical significance attached to the invasion.
1t was the intention of the\ British commander
Colonel John Butler, so as his conquest of
Wyoming was completed, to press on into the ceun-
ties of Berks and northampton and cut off General
Washingtons supplies at those points. The terrible
excuses of his savage allies at Wyoming prevented
him from carrying out his programme and caused
him to turn back in horror from the valley which he
had found paradise and transformed into a
charnel-house.
The Wyoming valley of today is scene of
happy homes and great industrial prosperity; but
deep in the hearts of its people are treasured the
sacred memories of those early days when the pio
neers met death unfinchingly for home and coun
try in battling against civilized and savage foes.
No incident of President Roosevelt's Pennsylvania
trip was more interesting than his visit to the
Wyoming monument which marks the scene of one
of the most memorable struggles of the Revolu-
tionary period.

How Paul Learned a Lesson.

Paul Paul. cried grandma, "I'll give you 10
cents if you'll fold all these old clothes for me-
"T1l do it for nothing" said Paul, leaving his
wagon and coming to where grandma was anxiousy
looking at the cloudy sky.
"No, dear; it is a hard job and well worth 10
cents Fold them all up nicely and put them in
the old trunk in the yard. 1t looks very much like
rain, and l have company in the sitting room. |
won't worry Bit for know you will have them all
packed away before they get wet"
1t pleased Paul very much TO have grandma say
that, so he went TO work with WILL for it looked
as if the rain might fall any minute. Grandma
shut the door and went back to her friends, leaving
the little boy alone in the big yard 1t was soft
autumn day, and all the things out of the big trunk
in the attic had been spread out on the grass max
ing the yard look like queer crazy guilt Paul soon
found that the way to fold big garments is to take
one end and walk few steps, then take the other
corners in the same way to make small bundle.
He worked hard, and before the first big drops
splashed through the red and yellow leaves every
piece from his papa's christening frock to grand
mas wedding dress was off the grass.
1t was hard work. and when il was all orer

when CampbelPs poem was written the belief in his
presence on the scene was general There are those
who still believe the great Mohawk chief was at
Wyoming. 1t is known that some noted savage
eaped into the breach, when John Buffers red
coats began to give way before Zebulon Buffers
Connecticut men in homespun, and uttered the war
cry that brought the Six Nations like yelling de-
mons from their hiding places.
That was the signal for the massacre. Then the
savage spirit burst all bounds The Indians flung
away their guns and resortcd to the spear, the
scalping knife and tomahawk Soon they had
strewn the plain with the bodies of 1G0 victims re-
serving others, including the captains of the six
Wyoming companies, for the torture-ires which
were Hndled on the river bank as night fell
The vanquished patriots to whom life remained
fled through the fields of rpening grain to the
Susquehanna river and flung themselves into tho
flood, where many were seal ped and slain A few
swan to Nonokasy island, but were pursued and
butchered there. An instance of the evil spirit of
the time is furnished in the of patriot named
Peveril. who knel at the feet of his Tory brother
and cried out Brother spare my life and will
serve you as your slave all my days." To this an
peal the heartless brother replied: you damned
rebel and killed the supplant Years later the
tiendish Tory brother met his Nemesis in Canada.

bloody episode.
The most fearful scenes of all were witnessed as
night fell. Then more than n thousand homes of
the settlers were set on fire and the valley became
one red scene of ruin from Dial Rock to Nauti
coke, below Wilkes-Barre. At Forty Fort, where
most of the women and children of the settlement
had been placed for safety, the widest panic pre-
vailed, and hundreds fed in terror before the cry

STRIKES AND SAVINGS.

The New York Times reports a gain this year
in the deposits of the savings banks of New York
City of $71,000,0O0, and ascribes the mighty in
crease to the absence of strikes. Wage-earners
everywhere should let that fact sink deeply in their
minds. Strikes are sometimes necessary, but when
they come, the first result is the stoppage of the
daily wage and the beginning of suffering. This.
too, is felt most by helpless women and children.
The truth ought to inspire such legislation will
cause labor troubles to be settled by courts of ar
bitration. Civilized nations are held together by
respect for law. On that society is founded. 1t
is. then, an impeachment of the intelligence and
