PROUD osCEoLA,s END.
Seminole Chief Went Through Many
Battles and Never Despaired.

Osceola went through many bat
ties, writes Gen. Howard In st. Mich
olas, but never despaired and never
surrendered until the fearful battle
came when the Indians were defeat
ed by Gen. Taylor. Then the waters
ran with the blood of Uncle Sam s
quarrelling children, and Osceola's 8
men were scattered to the four winds
of heaven. Even then Osceola would
not have been captured but for an act
Of treachery. He was asked to come
to a conference at camp not far
from st. Augustine. He came with
some Of his warriors, trusting to the
word Of the commander, but he and
his comrades were at once surround
ed and carried to st. Augustine as
prisoners of war. Our officers said
1t was right to do this because Osce-
ola had not kept his promise In peace
or, war, but we do not like to think
that the officers and agents Of Uncle
Sam broke thcir word, even II an
Indian chief did not keep his. Though
Osceola fought in the Indian way, he
hated the treatment that the white
| people gave the Indians still we
know he did not hate the white wo-
| told his warriors to treat women and
| children with kindness. ="
After he was tSken to St. Angus
| tine he was in a sad condition. His
/ spirit was broken y defeat and i'm
| prisonment, and he grew feeble as
he realized there was no escape.
When he was taken to Fort Moul-
trie, in Charleston harbor, he knew
that he should never see his own
land again. fhen he refused food,
would see no visitors, and died, bro
ken-hearted, after short illness
and respected as he had been by the
| Indian nation, his manly nature was
too proud to be longer under the
| control of the white man.

Meeting n Sandstorm.
(Chicago News.)

What 1t means to encounter q sand
storm in the desert of Sahara is de-
scribed by Mrs. Palmer Thomas:
Few things bring such sense Of
utter powerlessness as desert sand
storm, and l shall never forget my
experience of one. Our dragoman
one day suddenly called our atten-
ton to a darkening horizon line.
See, he said, a sandstorm comes;
no man will ride in SUCH We had
barely time to dismount and make
the cGmels kneel in a circle on the
sand before the storm was upon us.
Each man threw his kaftan over the
peaks of his saddle and crouched
within the shelter it afforded and
that formed by tho animals body
behind him, while ! nestled in the
hollow formed by my camels neck
and shoulder, drawing the folds of
the blanket-like stuff tightly over me.
The wise beast, knowing what was
coming, turned her long neck around
and laid her head on my knees, seek
ing the protection of my cloak for
her eyes against the sand, which,
driven by the fury of the wind struck
the face like powdered glass.
But I looked out upon the scene
as long as l could, watching what
appeared to be a mass OF brown
gauze wells streaming up across the
sky, darkening the sunlight and
gradually blotting out everything
from our sight. An icy wind pre-
ceded the cloud, increasing in inten-
sity every minute, until the sound os
it's roaring made ones voice inaudi-
BILE, while the darkness became that
Of densest night. And so we sat
silent to the noise and the b!ackness
until the hurricane abated. Then
looking out again | saw the brown
ish mass Of cloud flying before the
wind away toward the Nile, some
forty miles distant and the cloud
less blue Of March sky in Egypt
once more overspread above us. =
But the legs Of our beasts were
all covered with the sand that had
fallen, and Notwithstanding my shell
tered position the sand was lying on
my dress and hat and was thick up
on us For some time we watched
the brown cloud losing itself in the
immensely of the desert, where the
whitening bones Of animals tell with
sad frequency Of the overwhelming
fury Of these sudden tempests; then
We mounted and rode away"

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions Of the
ear. There is only one way TO cure
deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition Of the m,l-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube IS inflamcd you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when It Is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken QUO and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten arc caus-
ed by catarrh, which IS nothing hut
an inflamed conditi>I OF the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case Of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

A FEDERAL FORT
IN A
LOCUST GROVE.
For The Keowee Courier.


1 have been asked to describe a
battle, but one can hardly do that. 1t
simply Is a chaos Of noise and confu-
sion. or what Is going on one knows
nothing. The din Is appalling. The
roar of cannon, the bursting of she'll,
the hum Of grape ana canister, the
whistling of bullets, the shouts Of
the men, the cries and groans of the
wounded and dying, created a Nigh
ty roar that seemed to render think
ing impossible. During battles that
l witnessed in the late war showers
or leaves would fall necessarily,
great boughs of trees were tort
away, and trees themselves some
times came crashing down as trunk
was struck full by a shot or shell.
The underground would often catch
fire, and the thick smoke, mingling
with that Of battle, rendered 1t Diff
ficult to see or breathe. A soldier
had but one thought-that was to
drive the enemy from his front
do not think soldier in battle has
much thought Of danger. The whole
thing is somehow so tremendous that
a man has no thought whatever for
himself. 1t is s~rt Of terrible
dream, in which one is possessed
with the single idea to get to GER
tain place.
1t was at the bloody battle Of
Franklin that Gen. Hood, standing
on an eminence, saw in the distance
a Federal fort in locust grove. He
called his courier to his side and
said, go to Gen. Cheatham, give
him my compliments, ami tell him
that I ask at his hands ina. tori in
the locust grove. But the courier
soon returned, saying that the gene
raj could not be found. He then
told him to "go to Gen. Cleaborn
and give him my compliments, and
tell him that I ask at his hands the
fort in the locust grove" Off he
flew the second time, and again re-
turned, saying: Gen. Hood, Gen.
Cleaborn is dead on the field" 1t is
stated that when he heard that his
great Irish leader had fallen In the
battle, with tears in his eyes, and
mis- great heard swelling with tender
emotion, he said to his courier the
third time, go to Gen. Cocknal,
(who was at that time the youngest
brigadier in the army, give him my
love, and tell him that l ask at his
hands the fort in the locust grove"
Finding the young general, the
courier said: Gen. Hood sends you
mis- love and asks at your bands the
fort in the locust grove" 1t is said
the young Missourian raised himself
up in his stirrups and cried with a
loud voice, First Missouri Brigade,
attention.! and every man stood in
his place, with teeth clinched, brows
knit, and every nerve contracted,
waiting for the second command,
and it soon came ringing down the
line AS upon an electric wave, For
ward! Double quick! March,"
The Rebel yell was. raised to heaven,
and across the meadow they few,
sweeping the field with bayonets and
capturing the fort. 1t was then that
Gen. Cocknali called his courier to
his side and said: : 90 to Gen. Hood
give him my love, and tell him that
| present to him the Federal fort in
the locust grove; but tell the general
that 1t cost the best blood the State
of Missouri had to take it.

BUILT HER OWN HOME.
Miss Lillian johnson Built Almost
Every Bit of Her Residence.
(Kansas City, Mo-, Dispatch. }

(kansas City, Mo-, Dispatch.)
II built it all myself, except lit
tie bit Of botch work done by lady
carpenter"
Miss Lillian M. Johnson, Of No.
2S4S, North Eighteenth street, West
side, was telling how she built the
Vnine-room house in which she lives.
Miss johnson began work on her
house in the fall following the flood
in the Kaw Valley of 1908. She was
a Salvation Army worker in Armour
dale at the time of the flood. She
lost everything except 81. She went
to real estate firm and arranged
to buy on payments the 100 feet Of
ground on which her house stands.
The first payment was $40, but she
was allowed to take the ground on
the promise that she would pay the
amount in thirty days. She kept her
promise, started canvassing for a
medicated soap firm, and soon made
enough to fence the ground. The
door work. Then she began wrap
ping candles in a factory.
In May, 1904, Miss Johnson built
a two-room box house, doing all the
work herself and getting the lumber
on payments. After moving into her
new home she received two women
as boarders. She was able, by the
first Of July, to buy a COW. She sold
milk, and with her earnings she
bought chickens, hoping 10 use the
proceeds Of their sale &c make pay
ment on the ground. She pcnned
up the Springs" to fattcn thcM, but

Johnson fourd herself facing "A ray.
meat without the necessary money.
However, her resources were not ey-
hausted. She began taking in wash
ing. Through these various means
she paid for the lot.
But Miss Johnson was not satis-
fed. She must enlarge her house.
She graded her lot with spade and
wheelbarrow, laid the foundation,
put up the frames, rooted, boxed,
and she was forced to hire a carpen-
ter to make her window frames. She
has finished the entire interior Of the
house, layi +he floors and lathing.
The plans g house were made
by her, and may original ideas have
entered into it. She has a large
cupboard in the dining room, which
extends along the whole side of the
room. This cupboard has compart-
ments for ali the cooking necessities,
flour, coffee, tea and spices, and a
large shelf for displaying dishes.
In her living room, Miss Johnson
has a bay window, fitted up as a
conservatory. In this she has many
beautiful plants.
The grounds about the house are
well kept. A large arbor, fruit trees
and flower beds with the bluegrass
lawn made the place attractive.
"How did l learn TO do carpenter
work? Why just found out l could
do it when I built my little two
room box house, and | determined
TO try my hand on something better"
Miss Johnson said.
81 had only three tools when |
started out-a hammer, hatchet and
saw. AS / made more money, l was
able to buy more tools, and now |
have complete set.
Il hope to finish painting the house
this fall, and when | get the porch
columns in place in the spring the
ranch VIII be finished. And I'll bet
no passer-by would know that Il wo-
man built it."
