LAST OF TIE pAscAooulAs,
An Indian Legend From the oherss =
 tho Gulf of Mexico.

An Indian Legend From the oheree ee
 tho Gulf of Mexieo.
 An Indian legend of the Pascagoulas Is told by the fishermen and oyDter- men down on the shores of the gulf of Mexico.
 A point reaches out into the guk near the mouth of the Pnscagouiu riv- CT. The pine trees on 1t come almost to the water's edge, and between Her . strip of white sand; across n marsh, border of light green swnying and rustling grasses and beyond gray cypress swamp the hanging moss of tue trees swaying in the wind. To the south the blue waters of the gulf stretch away, with little waves lap ping on the chalk white clam shells of the shore.
 There in the evening during tho short twilight one hears soft music, ns if 1t were the notes of violin, insist. ent, changing, sweet. It is the song of the PascaGoulas.
 Long years before the Pascagoula Indians had lived upon this point. The white men. the Spaniards, came in numbers, and with them the hostile warriors of other tribes, to make war and to drive the Pascagoulas out of the country. Coming from the inland, the enemy took away all chance of fight and hedged them in on the point. The Pascagoulas fought for days and nights in the dark pine woods against outhumbering foes. Then they saw that all was useless, that they could not overcome, and starvation stared them in the face.
 The Pascagoulas called council of the tribe and talked long together. To give themselves up meant lives Of slavery or death, and to fight to the last man was to leave the women and children to the mercy of the white men and their allies.
 The next morning the PascagoulaS put on all their paint and trappings and burned their wigwams. The men. women and children slowly, deliber- ately, unhinchingly backed step by step into the water behind them. sing ing Not one faltered. They died with their faces toward their enemies, brave and free, and ROW fin the even- ing when the wind blows over tho marshes the pines and grasses sinG the song of the Pascagoulas,--NeW York Post.

Vermont Maple Sugar.

An experienced sugar maker OF
Mortified is earnestly urging every
farmer who has maple orchard to
arrange to make as much sugar as
possible each year--and beein this
year. He says that there is not as
much variation in sugar seasons as
many people imagine; that the crop
will not vary more than IS per cent.
between a good and so called poor
year, providing the trees are tapped
early. He makes another strong
point in saying that farmers do not
have to feed the maple trees $50
worth of cottonseed meal to get 500
worth of sugar. In fact this farmer
believes that the maple sugar crop is
the most profitable one for Vermont
farmers, and that the demand for the
product is sure TO increase from year
to year.
The said farmer also protests
against cutting down maple trees as
a most disastrous waste. A sugar
orchard will pay good interest on
$500 per acre, while the same land
cleared of trees is not worth $40 per
acre. All of which is worthy of the
most careful attention of the owners

Excellent Advice to Young
Men and Women on
Saving the Pennies

1t is fact that people in general
have little conception OF the cumul-
alive power of compound interest.
Money at compound interest grows
night and day, ceaselessIy, and when
compounded semi-annually grows to
an extent that very few realize unless
they have taken the trouble to figure
it out.
How many young men there are
that waste, in ways that are worse
than useless, the hard earned dollars
OF their Younger days and come
down to old age in poverty! \
How few young men there are
who could not at the age of fifteen
begin to save at least ten cents per
day!
Even this moderate sum, II placed
at semi-annral compound interest,
would produce surprising results.
Here is what it would amount to
at four per cent. compounded semi
annually, commencing at fifteen and
continuing until the ages of rs, IS,
Ak, SS, Ok and 9S,

Status Of Express oompanies.

The attorney general of Vermont
may be called upon to decide
whether the American and National
express companies have still the
right to do business in that state,
after a lapse OF four months, without
payment of the annual state fran
chise taxes. The companies filed
bonds last October, when the taxes
were due, as guaranty that their
taxes would be paid, but up to this
time the money has not been re-
ceived by the state treasurer, and
when the payment of the taxes is
offered to the state treasurer the
attorney general will have the ques-
ton before him of whether the
money is properly receivable after
such long lapse of time.
