1t was in this valley that the grand
father of Chief Joseph welcomed the
daring explorers, Lewis and Clark,
| Speaking of them, Joseph said: They
talked straight, and our people made
them a great feast. All the Nez Perces
made friends with Lewis and Clark,

1t was not to be expected that the
Indian would be allowed to remain for

born. 1t circles around the graves OF
our fathers, and we never give up their
graves to any man."
In spite of the treaty, the Indians re-
mained in unmolested possession fol
eight years, when the white men began
to encroach upon the boundaries. The
conditions threatened to become Sc
rious, and the Government asked fol
q treaty council. Joseph, owing to his
fathers age and blindness, represented
his people. He refused to remove tc
the Lapwai agency in Idaho and give
up the valley, SO the council came tc
naught.
From that time on, the white settlers
gave constant offense to the Indians.
They stole their horses, drove of
their cattle and branded the calves, and
then claimed them. 1t speaks we'll fol-

GREAT CHIEF JOSEPH.
A NOBLE AND BELOVED AMERI-
CAN INDIAN WHO DIED OF a
WOUNDED HEART.

Pathetic Tale of Governments Bro
ken PromiseS.-His Ancestors We'll
coined Lewis and Clark in Their
Western Explorations.
c. J. BLANCHARD.
The most picturesque character Of
the western frontier passed away last
year when Chief Joseph of the Nez
Perces, or, as they knew him, In-mut-
too-yah-lat;lat (Thunder travelling over
the mountains), folded his blanket
about him and passed beyond the Great
Divide. The members of his tribe,
all of whom were singularly devoted
to him, and the privileged few of the
white race who knew him intimately,
believe that this great leader, perhaps
the greatest Indian leader of the
period, died of homesickness and heart
ache.
To know Chief Joseph was to have
revealed to you glimpse into a van
ished past. There was loftiness and
dignity mingled with a charming
naivete in his manner, and tender
pathos in his speech, that made you
forget the Indian and recall the old
Hebrew prophets Of the days of the
Captivity.

Remarkable Effect of Vibrations.

From time to time scientists advance
new theories Of the cause Of some Of
the miracles mentioned In the Bible,
and now the miraculous fall of the
walls Of Jericho Is said by men Of
learning to have been caused by the
fact that the tone pitch of the trum-
phets Of the followers Of Joshua was
exactly in harmony with the sensitive
tone Of the walls. When the trum-
pets were blown they set the walls
Of the biblical town to vibrating and

PRINCE WHO LIKES HORSES.
Brother of Heir to German Crown a
Rough Rider.

kOugh KIoer.
Eitel Frederick, prince of Prussia,
and younger brother of the crown
prince Of Germany, is considered one
of the finest horsemen of Europe. The
German people Iove him greatly for
this, along with his kindness to his
animals, quality sometimes wanting
when great daring is possessed by
boys.
When the prince was sixteen he was
given the freedom of the royal stables
and told that he could select one of
the fine Arabian ponies for his own
use. He asked if he could look after
him Just as boys in lesser stations in
life do with their ponies, and his
fathers reply was:
81 want my boys to know how to
work and care for everything that
belongs to them
Eitel did care for his pony and spent
many moments learning all about the
needs and nature of horses. He dis
covered that his Arabian could jump
and, riding him one day, he cleared a
fsur-barred fence, which greatly de-
lighted the emperor, who was riding
with him.
A short time after this his father
gave him a powerful hunting horse.
The boy looked like a midget on him,
but would not ride him for three or
four days.
"a horse needs to know you," he
gravely said, before he makes up his
mind whether you will be kind and
reasonable with him, or harsh"
After boy and horse had become ac-
quainted he invited his father to take
a ride in his company. The two set
out for gallop through the forests.
Emperor William is regarded as a
splendid horseman, but he told circle
Of friends after this ride, that Eitel
had given him a ride for his life. He
leaped bitches and hedges, took the
toughest roads, held his horse under
perfect control and won the greatest
praise.
1t is told Of this boy that he cannot
go into the royal stables without every
horse in the stalls turning his head
and whinnying glad welcome.

CHIEF JOSEPH MONUMENT UNVEILED BY WARRIORS OF TRIBE
c. J. BLANCHARD.

AS the chief and historian Of his
tribe. Joseph's plea for the NeZ Perces
has often been heard in Washington.
In it's deep sense of eternal righteous
ness and of the deadly wrong suffered
at the hands of the white man; in
it's smothered fire and in its hopeful
longing for the coming Of justice and
better times for the tribe, it was the
most powerful and pathetic appeal ever
made by an Indian.
From the viewpoint of close asso-
citation with the red man. his faults
are magnifed and his virtues forgot
ten. From the viewpoint of the reader
of Cooper and other romantic writers
on Indian topics, his vices are obscured,
and his virtues unduly exaggerated.
Judged from the impartial standpoint
of a rather long acquaintance, which
contains meetings in camp and city,
in the writer's opinion, Chief Joseph
was the finest type of the red man
this country will ever know.
He died of homesickness, and that
statement will provoke no sceptical
smile from one who knows the Indian
character. The earth that contains
the ashes of an Indians dead is sacred
and hallowed. The longing in an In.
dams heart for the land of his birth
Is as strong as that which turns our
wandering footsteps back to the old
home. When Fate in the shape OF an
unkind Government forcibly wrests
from him the land of his fathers. his
grief, though repressed and concealed,
is as poignant as our own would be. II
we were so treated.
Loved Home of the Tribe.
I recall one expression of Joseph's
In this connection. "My father is
buried in Wallowa Valley. I love that
land more than all the rest of the world
A man who would not love his fathers
grave is worse than wild animal"
Have you ever been in Wallowa, that
beautiful valley of Winding Waters?
1t is Americas Switzerland. It's
lofty mountains rear their heads so
high that snow mantle rests there
all the year round. Their feet are in
lakes which rival Luzerne. Down the
steep slopes, through narrow walled
canyons which the sunlight never en-
ters, the streams come rushing like
cataracts. In their cold ripples the
gamey trout turks expectant eager to
give battle for his life when the angler
tempts him to the hook. In the autumn
the salmon, in countless numbers, leap
the waterfalls, and are caught and
dried by the Indians for winter food.

for the early morning market. The
cost of this little delivery wagon is only
$4,000; which of course places it with
in the reach of any farmer and every
editor of paper-that is if he happens
to be close enough so that he can touch
it. 1t is estimated that if all the
garden and farm produce could be
marketed by means of this simple and
inexpensive device the cost to the city
consumer would not be increased over

through them, that he had to stop to
tune up several times. Just previous
to one of these a picture which was
suspended at the far end Of the room
came tumbling down without warn
ing. Many of the superstitious turn
ed white with fear, but scientific
man in the room went to some length
to explain that the fall Of the picture
had been caused by vibration Of the
wire set up by a note Of particular
pitch made by the cello. He stated
that every stretched string has some
particular musical pitch which will
set 1t vibrating. To emphasize his ar
gument he asked the performer to
strike different tones and in short
time other pictures In the room were
set vibrating so violently as to make
the movement perceptible to the eye.
The 'celloist also succeeded in set
ting up vibrations on piece Of glass
ware on the mantel, which caused it
to give out a musical note.
Affected Building Foundations.
A couple of days after President
Roosevelt's Inauguration, last March,
the whole body Of Rough Riders from
Minnesota called on Secretary Taft In
the magnificent State, War, and Navy
Building. Accompanied by their brass
band Of some fifty or sixty pieces they
lined up before Secretary's office
and with ragtime music serenaded the
Secretary. Upon l ,aring the music
the superintendent of the building at
once asked the leader to refrain from
playing any more in the building as
there was a tendency to weaken the
buildings foundations. In fact, in
this instance, the vibrations set forth
were plainly perceptible, not only to
those in the vicinity Of the band but
to clerks on other floors of the build
ing.

MARKET GARDEN TYPE.
New Style of Auto Suitable for
Carrying Farm Produce. .

One of the first cable pictorial de-
Iscriptions of the useful war automobile,
as shown in the illustration, has just
came to hand. This is a special farm.
er's type. 1t can be constructed in any
small power, for jogging along pur-
poses, from 80 to 120 horse. A special
feature of interest to market gardeners
is the ability of the wagon to run for
twenty minutes after having the tires
riddled with bullets, which makes it
thoroughly practical. 1t is entirely
bomb-proof when beyond the range Of
the enemy's guns. A starting crank"
is fitted in front, but ''the machine can
be started automatically from the
lrivers seat" where the principal crank
is supposed to be located. "On the top
of the rear portion of the box" the
specifications read, "is a turret from
which projects Hotchkiss gun which
can be trained in any direction"-upon
competing market gardeners" A special
quality of steel has been employed for
armor." At 800 yards Lebel bullets
fail to pierce, but glance off, thus in
suring adequate protection to loads of
eggs, live shoats and other tender vege-
tables.
''The machine carries two steel rails,
which can be quickly unshipped and
placed across ditch" This feature
is of great import to the average tiller
of soil, as it means that If the machine
becomes frightened or unmanagable
due to the sudden appearance of horse
men or the flight of birds, and jumps
bitches or fences, it can be quickly got
ten back into the road, and sped along

Great Chief Joseph.

In the war which followed, Joseph
led his little band, as only great gen.
eral could lead them, but; the Nez
Perces never had chance to WIN.
Joseph surrendered to General Miles.
and for years the tribe was moved back
and forth over the country regardless
of promises made when they sur
rendered. After one of Joseph's visits
to Washington, where he met the Pres
ident, the Cabinet officers, and num-
erous Congressman, he remarked:
"They all say they are my friends, and
that l shall have justice, but while
their mouths all talk right, do not
understand why nothing is done for
my people. 1 have heard talk and
talk, but nothing is done. Words do
not pay for my dead people. They do
not pay for my country overrun by
white men. 1t makes my heart sick
when l remember all the good words
and all the broken promises. You might
as well expect the river to run back
ward, as that any man who was born
free should be contented, when penned
up and denied liberty, to go where he
pleases.
Pathetic Plea for Freedom.
"Oh let me be free man! free to
travel, free to stop, free to work, free
to trade where chose, free to choose
my own teachers, free to follow the
religion of my fathers, free to think
and talk and act for myself-and 1 will
obey every law or submit to the PEN
atty"
Gradually as the years passed away,
Joseph grew to understand the hope
lessness of achieving his hearts desire
"a return to Wallowa, though he never
ceased to make his plea for justice.
When the end came a year ago, he was
surrounded by the remnant of his band,
who stood beside his deathbed in silent
grief.
On the goth Of September last, these
same devoted members of the tribe
stood around the grave of Joseph and
listened to the funeral address deliv.
cred by his successor and friend. On
Ithis occasion a monument was unveiled
IA most unusual Indian ceremony.
