to Great Britain to succeed Joseph
H. Choate, is known to two hemis-
pheres as a man of affairs with wide
experience of the world, having ex-
tensively Travelled; accustomed to deal
ing with eminent people and a thor
oughly schooled master of diplomacy.
Tried as United States minister to
France, he made an enviable reputa
ton for himself as diplomat and
statesman. Covering so many fields in
his busy career, Mr.. Reid is credited
with the ripe judgment that makes
him valuable in any mission selected
for him by his country.
Born Oct q, 1887, near Xenia, Ohio,
he was graduated when still young

tific honors of his class, and subse

Was a Fieud in Action.

In the retreat of Joseph across the
Bitter Root and Rocky mountains To-
ka-ma-po was one OF the most watch
fuI scouts of the warrior band. and
often led the way across the painless
ridges OF the mountains when the In
dians were being closely pursued by
the tireless soldiers under General
Howard.
AT the battle of the Big Hole, In the
Bitter Root mpuutains, the Nez Perces
were surprised at an early morning raid
by General Gibbon, and their camp
captured. In fury the Indians returned
to retake their camp, and in the hand
to-hand fight that followed To-ka- ma

ing the soldiers right and left with a
murderouS knife The camp was re-
taken. and the soldiers driven back by
a sharp attack by the Nez { erces, led
by this furious woman.
She was Il born straI egist and knew
the ways of the whites better than most
of the waTrors, and her advice and
counsel We're Invaluable to the retreat
ing Indians. upon whose trail the troops
were hotly pressing. She was present
in all the councils, advised with Chief
Joseph. and was one of the greatest
inspirations left to the worn warriors
famished by their long rides in evad-
ing the merciless pursuit OF the sol
diers.

LAUGH-AWAY LAND.

Do you know. little tad. when the West
Is red.
And the swamps are misty gray.
The sasad man comes to your trundIe
To carry you far away
To carry yeu of in his tfnkIing cart
That's filed with silver sand;
He fills your eyes and then you start
For trip TO Ieaugh-Awav Land.
Roilicking, eare-free Laugh-Away
Land!
It's a wonderful road. grandma will
tell
The route of the sand mans cart;
Through orchards sweet where fairies
dwell
And rabbits timidly dart
There are gay Fairgrounds where the
sand man stops,
And even a circus band,
That plays In front of the candy shops
On the road to Laugh-Away Land.
Juvenile, jolly Iaugh-Away Land!
So heed. little boy, to the Ginning
gong.
For the sand mans never late:
And you must be asleep when he
comes along,
For he hasn't the time to wait.
Don't miss the trip wher. he comes
again.
In his tinkiing cart of sand
For in after years you'll wish in vain
For a trip TO Laugh-Away Landi
mtrthful, merry Laugh-Away Land.

upon the green hills and crystal streams
OF this old haunt of her people
When Major Moorhouse OF Pendleton
photographed this old fighter recently,
as she carried her winters fuel from the
creek bottom on the ColVille reservation,
she complained of the loneliness of her
exile, and expressed q hope to return TO
her beloved Wallowas valley some time

inmeasurabiy in taking their lands and
sending her people and herself nto exile
IN the most desolate corner ofathe LAND.
Since the death of Joseph her hfe is one
of bitter lamentation She VIII not be
comforted. The failure of her chief to
return to die III the land OF his birth
added an intolerable burden to her life.
Her desolate tepee is the acme OF lone
illness, If any sound is heard about II,
1t is an awe-inspiring grooming from this
heart broken old woman, weeping for
the decadence of her people and the ut
ter misery of her last days. The strong
savage features. the bent shoulders.
the sinewy and bronzed hands. the
struggling wisps of thin gray hair, the
little cleaning beads of eyes. and the
scowl Of hatred make up n picture that
haunts one for days
To-ka-ma-po may be Il virtual pris-
oner, but down in her heart this indomi-
table woman has never yet surrendered

The very pose of the bent form. and an
imperious glance in the fearless but
dimmed eyes of the old savage.

eountermarches of Joseph's 1,000-,nile re-

twice across the Bitter Roots anl once
across the Rockies, In the frenzied effort
to escape from the narrowing meshes of
the United States troops, TO the final
vicious fight and the surrender at Bear
Paw mountain. in northern Montana.

most unyfeiding fighter
She never advised surrender. She
pleaded for further flight. and at the
Tight at Bear Paw mountain. at which
Joseph's band was intercepted by the
dashing Colonel Miles, who had made
hurried marches from Fort keogh, and
placed his command across the north
ward flight OF the Nez Perces. the fury
of this female demon was terrible to be-
hold.
When the Neg Perces surrendered to
General Howard and Colonel Miles at
the Bear Paw, it is said that To-ka-ma-
po wept like child and declared that
she would never desert her beloved chief,
but would follow him. whithersoever
fate might lead him.
